Hot takes on Resident Requiem (unfinished yet):
- Leon is hot and has silly fun punchlines
- Leon TPS gameplay is way less good than RE4 (2004). It's strongly "direction" led and not "gameplay" driven. Positioning has no value.
- Not a fan of parry in RE
- Grace gameplay is surprisingly good, tense

It's a very hard challenge especially because envy is not an enjoyable feeling...
Maybe Catherine did it in a way. Not in climbing puzzle but the fact that you could resist or not the temptations...
Also, games like Ultima do tease you with chests but if you steam from them, there are consequences

Relatable (et probablement 100% des jeux français pour encore quelques mois...).

Pas mal quand même d'avoir répondu "pride" (moi j'ai répondu "jalouuuuusiiiiie" pendant toute la promo de Cairn 😅)

Even for the Master System era choosing was too hard so I don't think I can do it for my whole gaming experience.

Cairn - Technical Breakdown - Rock Rendering, Anthony Beyer I was lucky to work on Cairn as Technical Art Director, and now that the game has been released, I thought it might be interesting to share some of its "development secrets". At the beginning, i want...

Finished my Permadeath run of Shining Force.
Max, Musashi, Hanzou and Mae at contact, Domingo and Tao with magic, Lowe and Bleu to heal... About half of the Force died to save the world from Dark Sol and the Dark Dragon.

Still and forever a banger.
Now Shining Force 2!!!

If you like interesting takes on turn-based combat, give Arco a try.

The more you show the coolest Lost in Dreams looks :)
Did I miss when you say what it is? Is it your own project or for a studio?
Do you need any help making it happen? (seems like you have it under control :))

Enfin récompensé pour avoir atteint le sommet, je vais peut-être pouvoir relancer une grimpe avec un bonus de satiété...

Extremely flattering but also smart analysis of Cairn intentions and intuitions (game design & execution).

Git the infusion ultime wrong, it’s water+gentian then this infusion + any plant then this strong infusion + any plant!

Waow glad you like it! Absolutely loved A First Hike.
For the free solo run, what helped me clear it (except the 2000 hours of prototyping) was cooking some ultimate infusion (gentian+plant then this+another plan). But it can be done no boost no puff though :)

Samuel, a french animation series (21 episodes x 5 minutes), is available on Netflix and it's a masterpiece. Captures perfectly the thoughts of a young teenager, the animation and narration is perfect, relatable, moving... Highly recommended.

Yes I love the semi real time combat system!
And the characters :) Would love another game with a little bit more edgy story.

Faves characters: Berenice, Melisandre, Travis, Aramis, Hilda.
