I don't know if this is exactly the thread for it, but it's worth a try anyway: I'm looking for a game from maybe the 90s or early 2000s, which is sort-of like Scorched Earth in that you have tanks that shoot other tanks, but instead of being 2D it's using an 3D isometric camera view that can be moved all around the map that also exists in 3D space. It's very possible it was an RTS game, but I'm not completely sure about that. Does anyone have a clue what it could be?

Some friends and I are having a LAN weekend coming up where there will be much alcohol involved and we're looking for game suggestions. We've found that competitive games aren't great for our group since the different skill levels lead to different people disengaging. In general we're looking for:
Survival games fit the bill in general, but there aren't any obvious options sticking out to us at the moment. Things we've enjoyed in the past:

In general we're looking for: Yeah, Terraria is still solid, gets silly real quick with friends. It's old, but Payday was pretty good for this too. The ideal option is Deep Rock Galactic (it even has a bar and a drinking game!) but I think it's limited to 4 player groups.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Rocket League can support 6 players in a match and can fill with bots This would be my suggestion, with the caveat that it's heavily skill-based so if anyone has experience with it it probably won't be fun for the others. That said, if everyone is similarly inept, it is a ton of fun to flail around and occasionally accidentally get the ball in the goal. It has good "get drunk and yell a lot" energy.

Put the two best on one team, it cannot be overstated how much of an edge just having three sets of eyes vs two can give you in that game.

There's also any number of 4x games like Civ or Stellaris, but those tend to move alot slower. 7 Days To Die is zombie apocalypse minecraft. Don't Starve Together. Diablo or PoE or Grim Dawn Sandwich Anarchist fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Jul 6, 2022 |

Out of the spirit of Overcooked, there's Viscera Cleanup Detail and Astroneer (which is sort of survival crafting without as much of the survival aspect).

The latest Zachtronics game has a puzzle minigame, that I really enjoyed, where you meld flesh to create specimens. I really like it's theme. Is there any other game with the gameplay (so, NOT a Visual Novel) of creating body horror poo poo? EDIT: I'll give the comedy answer of Impossible Creatures 2 right away, but I was thinking of something that does body horror purposefully.

I skimmed a couple videos of Pulsar: Lost Colony and it seems like there's a lot of downtime - it was hard to get a good feel for what the inner loop is supposed to be. Anyone have good video examples for this?

Looking for a game kind of like Freelancer on iOS. Have played startrader frontiers, and definitely not looking for a turn based thing like that. Played galaxy on fire (2) and that was fun/close, but too bare bones. Any other recommendations? E: offline pls! tildes fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Jul 7, 2022 |

Splicer posted:My favourite thing about original X-Com was how you'd start out as a bunch of guys shooting bullets and flying a jet and by grabbing as much alien stuff as possible you'd progress to a bunch of power armoured jetpackers in a human-built UFO/Jet hybrid packed full of handheld nukes. Terraria is very much like this. You start as a character with a puny bronze shortsword that can run slowly and jump; by the end of the game you're decked out with a minigun made out of a shark that shoots homing bullets, a sword that shoots other swords, you're immune to all status effects, can teleport at will, you have wings and can fly, all kinds of stuff that really changes how the game plays. It's probably my favorite progression curve in any game ever.

Hey folks, I'm trying to do some market research to find streamers who might be interested in my game. The thing I'm running into is that most all of the military-themed build-your-own-vehicle games (e.g. Sprocket, Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnought) tend towards realism far more than Waves of Steel does. Also I know there's a reasonably sizable custom-mech-based gaming community out there, but I know basically nothing about it. So basically what I'm looking for is recommendations for games that a) have extensive character customization, and b) aren't seriously attached to realism, either by being goofy or sci-fi or otherwise detached from realistic modern warfare. Ideally these games would also have enough market presence that people stream them regularly.

I'd say two groups to potentially reach out to are EDF fans and Ace Combat fans, but neither game is quite on the same wavelength nor are they huge stream draws. You might be better served by scoping out variety streamers who will play anything sufficiently novel.

You might find small overlap with The Raft, Sea of Thieves and Kerbal Space Program. Or find someone who loved Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. Love your game, by the way, and could definitely see it on something like Game It Out or a stream where a group of friends challenge each other with the dumbest builds imaginable.

Add a mode where you get to pick one of four parts to add to your ship after every wave and you’ll grab massive streamers.

I know some that can get pretty goofy like Kerbal Space Program and Besiege and Space Engineers. Although with those I think part of how they have appeal after being around for a while is that there are some big physics-sim nerds that often look past the jokey side of things. There's a lot of other streamers that enjoy chaotic physics, but they often don't stick with just one game for too long. But then, a lot of streamers tend to stick with games with more potential for original content, which is why sandboxes and online multiplayer tend to dominate that space. On the wacky alt-hist side of things, I think Luftrausers is the only thing in that vein that I really noticed cresting much into mainstream popularity.

Ship building is much more fiddly, but in general seems like a very similar one in terms of arcadey/whacky combat. Has some YouTubers into it as well.
