Instead of sitting down and digging into Horizon yesterday (I finally made it to Meridian, doing some exploring and side-questing around there), I spent most of my morning playing Mini Metro and listening to podcasts while doing laundry. It's really good and chill and totally worth getting the bundle for. Count of Monte Carlo is a blackjack game with NES-style graphics and kind of an rpg/adventure element to it, sort of. You play against opponents and chips represent hp. Your first opponent is a mouse in a hat, and the second one is a dude with a speed metal soundtrack. You have a limited number of cards (not sure what happens when you run out, probably game over) and in between matches, you can buy bonuses/abilities with your chips (one I got was "if both players bust, it's considered a push instead"). I think Forgetful Loop was mentioned in the thread. It's a puzzle game about trying to fix an unstable time machine. I haven't played much of it, because during the 3rd level, the game froze up (just as the text "Whoops..." appeared on screen, so I wasn't sure if it was part of the game at first) and I had to kill it from the task manager. Haven't gone back yet since I have so many other games to try first, but it seemed neat. 8 Links is another simple chill puzzle game. Place tiles to link them together in a 4x4 grid, trying to get as big a combo as possible before banking your points, clearing your tiles, and repeating. It's simple and relaxing. Like Mini Metro, it would be great for a quick-break phone game. Beacon might have been from the BLM bundle but it's kinda like a budget SYNTHETIK. You kill enemies in randomized-but-similar-looking levels, kinda like SYNTHETIK. The big quirk of the game is the DNA mods, which are used between levels (or between deaths) to upgrade your character. Each DNA mod (you can "install" up to 5, at least at the start) can also get a random mutation, which can be good or bad (or both). My first run, I got a mutation where my body rejected one of my cyber-arms so I could only use one-handed weapons (no visual change to the character that I noticed, though), and another one that turned the dodge-roll into a dash move with a smaller range but sets enemies on fire if they're caught in the path. It seems like there will be a few side-grades like that, but I haven't gotten too far yet so I haven't seen much yet. Fifty Farts fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Jun 8, 2021 |

OK I mentioned it earlier but the Steam Next Fest is what they're calling their indie festivals now, because they also want to include larger games too I guess? It'll be running from June 16th - June 22nd (which will then be followed up by the Steam Summer Sale soon afterward), and of course is a bunch of game demos I've looked at the trailers and these games will have demos in the festival: Action: Fallen Aces Grimes Industria ProtoCorgi (it's good) Rogue Spirit Adventure: Omno The Gap Brok the Investigator (beat-em-up/point n click hybrid) Leif's Adventure Sable (Mobius Breath of the Wild) RPG: Glitched Cris Tales Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Rogue Lords Lost Eidolon Puzzle Inscryption Get Together: A Co-op Adventure Rainbow Billy Tandem: A Tale of Shadows Toem Platformer Faerie Afterlight Guinea Pig Parkour Super Magbot They Always Run Tiny Thor Strategy Spiritle Void Tyrant War Mongrels Warhammer 40K: Battlesector Project Haven VR: Into the Darkness Sam & Max: This Time it's Virtual Against Outlier Undead Citidel as a reminder the festival will actually have hundreds of demos, these are just the ones Valve thought were worth spotlighting in their trailers. Obviously Ys IX, Sable, WH40K, and Sam & Max will interest people here. But I'm also interested in Industria, Super Magbot, Guinea Pig Parkour, The Gap, and Rainbow Billy. Play posted:Really? Some of those I really want. Mostly Celeste. But just to be clear, the real reason to support the bundle is the cause. If you are poor or having trouble with money, spreading the word about it is just as useful as donating, so don't feel pressured to spend necessarily.

That plus the fact that the three of them (I think it was three?) lived and worked in hyper close proximity for a year plus crunching on the game, while you're not necessarily tracking what someone is posting on some internet forum even if you spend every day next to them, those opinions are definitely gonna come out in a year of super close living with people you're comfortable with.

I probably just nuked my reddit account over this, but I responded to the dev there and asked them to do something, ANYTHING to show that Brigador isn't made by transphobes. If they can do that then I'll try giving them the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise it'll have to stay in the bin of shame with Battle Brothers.

The 7th Guest posted:Toma on ResetEra is one of the moderators of the bundle that have been vetting games. They said this: "They stated they will add more games from the game submissions. I think they'll be added with 1-2 days to go." Yeah I get it! I'm neither rich nor hurting for money, adding games, especially a game I really want just ups the usefulness of the bundle and makes me want to donate a little more. These developers are donating their own work for me to play, so putting in a small extra donation to a cause I also happen to believe in seems appropriate enough. RBA Starblade posted:Thanks for the reminder not to buy Killers Just pirate it. Playing the game but not paying for it seems like a very elegant solution, all things considered.

lunar detritus posted:I really don't recommend doing that, you'll never be able to find anything in your library. As somebody else pointed out, this sounds nuts to me; if you're picking out games you like and want to play, surely it's easier to find them with itch's robust searching and filtering features:  than going through thirty-off unmarked and unsorted pages. You can, of course, also filter by installed content, so once the job of finding cool poo poo is done you can never think about the other stuff again if you so desire it. (Until it's time to install something new and specific that you got, but that's not an issue at all)

Harmony's Odyssey  Diorama-based tile sliding puzzler by the developer of Hexologic. has some gorgeous color theory Soundodger2   Rhythm bullet-avoidance game, it's the sequel to a once very popular AdultSwim.com game. Agent 64  "A retro FPS inspired by classic British shooters such as Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and TimeSplitters. Explore new locales, accomplish varied objectives and fight against state-of-the-art 1997 enemy AI." Road 96   By the developer of Valiant Hearts (UbiArts WW1 game). A road-trip CYOA game with a lot of choices and different routes to take. Death Trash   "Death Trash features a world where cosmic horrors long for humanity but meet punks with shotguns." Single-player ARPG with melee/ranged combat, stealth, crafting and skill trees. it promises hand-crafted levels so hopefully they're NOT trash! LOVE 3  The third in the LOVE trilogy by Fred Wood (who also made Pulstario). These are cute little micro-pixel platformers blown up big. Haven Park   Take over your Grandma's park and fulfill camper's wishes. Could be a cute little mini experience akin to A Short Hike.

This look cool. Love the steam description: quote:Inscryption is an inky black card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards... Wishlisted and requested beta access. Also, very strange game that just came out called Fuzz Dungeon. Looks like a very experimental and bizarre game but I'm kind of interested. And one called My Child Lebensborn, which is an adoptive parent simulator type thing with a dark and realistic bent
