I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Played Brutal John demo a little. Reminds me a lot of Zortch in an endearing way

the demoscene is still trucking along and they still use trackers, often by necessity when targeting ancient platforms

e.g. amiga 500 prod composed with protracker, from 2019

i guess it makes sense they're going the EA route again. they should probably not overpile on levels like they did with the first game though, it ended up being too long in my opinion

the aesthetic is there, the bones are there, it's just a matter of improving the design and making sure the levels are each distinct and memorable. also maybe doing conventional quicksave instead of the checkpoint system

Are there any recommendable new games that are actually out or coming out soon? I'm a little weary of checking out my wishlist or games on Steam just to see that they've been in Early Access for two years while the "About" section says the game is planned to spend 8-12 months in EA.

Lunacid 1.0 (Kings Field inspired) is Oct 31st, Blood West 1.0 (mix of retro shooter and imm-sim) is in December. Realms Deep might reveal a few 1.0 dates... Viscerafest is in the final polishing stage to hit 1.0, though it might still be pushed to next year, the dev's been transparent about that.

Phantom Fury and Agent64 are both still targeting this year and don't have EA disclaimers on their store pages.

Diluvian Ultra just came out and it's going to release future episodes as paid DLC rather than being early access. El Paso Elsewhere also just came out.

That's been the most frustrating thing about the whole throwback thing. Thousands of hours of dev time would be nothing for even a medium sized team probably but when you're looking at teams of 2 or 3 people or even just individuals working on a labor of love, you really have to get used to being patient, something I hate

Played both The Last Exterminator and Brutal John demos.

The Last Exterminator: I felt like playing Duke Nukem 3D with the old 3d model pack but in a good way. Guns felt good (SMG has a secondary fire that fires both barrels at once). Level design is Duke3D episode 1/3 and strikes that feel. Jumping has a little "floating" feeling but the right amount to do platforming and secret hunting. Only one level but really really up my taste. Voice acting is decent. It really feels like a straight Duke3D TC on eDuke, great stuff imo.

Brutal John: This is the "We have Serious Sam in Duke Nukem at home". It's fun, has plenty of weapons but the SMG and AR feel more or less the same, the pump action shotgun and double barrel lack better sound. Movement and jumping have a weird feeling. Jumping has some weird inertia and you can just move, jump and sprint mid-air for a speed burst that looks like an oversight more than a feature. Platforming has a wonky feeling. Shooting is fun but enemy design is ugly as hell. Voice acting is like dialing Serious Sam's voice to a completely obnoxious level. Level design is suprisingly very Duke3d-ish and not bad, but I did a level transition by moving next to a door that appeared to have a blue... aura?

To me The Last Exterminator has less to show but more polished and Brutal John has more but needs more work (especially the weapons that feel too samey in each slot).

Yeah I didn’t see it there when scrolling through the Featured at Realms Deep 2023 section. but we know it’s coming out in November in Early Access

I also didn’t see Enchain, Lorn’s Lure or Slayers X (dlc) in the featured section so I guess no updates on those games unless they’re surprise reveals

to be fair though, they have 120 games listed in the featured section, so, they can’t really cover everything. Idk if they’ll even cover all 120 in the event, unless it’s like a 4-5 hour stream. as with all of gaming… there’s just too many games!!

If it's a good game I'll look past the tasteless story drama they were tweeting about a few days back.
I grabbed it. I’m still on the tutorial bits because there’s a ton of it to teach you how to play. There’s a warning about that specific content that pops up, but it hasn’t come up yet. It feels fun enough but I have serious doubts references to SA were a remotely good choice.

For you achievement fiends, Cultic quietly just added a single new achievement called "Two-Time Champ" with the description "Win the rematch" that has totally disrupted my perfect game. It sounds like the dev didn't intend for it to pop up like that, but it looks like the game might be receiving some sort of update?

I checked this out like a year and a half ago and the dev, even early on, seemed like they'd eventually really hit the Goldeneye nail on the head. Looking forward to it being all done, hopefully with gadgets and multiplayer as good (and simple!) as GE/PD.

Edit: I see no mention of multiplayer on the Steam page, so maybe that aspect was just wishful thinking.
