Borked Elite Dangerous servers mean I'm writing up the next batch of experiences with Next Fest VR Titles instead. All from my Wednesday Twitch stream. As with the first batch, I used Steam's VR-tag feature explorer, and a randomiser to pick each game. We found some gooduns! #vr #pcvr 🧵

An astounding project still. Basically two full remakes of TIE Fighter in one. A more straightforward one that just adapts the original missions to the new engine, and a 'reimagined' version that asks what it would look like if the game was completely unbound by DOS-era hardware.

Both are excellent

hl2vr isn't just one of the best vr games available, it's by far the best way to play hl2. flat hl2 is IMO a game that did not age well in the slightest. half of the game's chapters have me saying "not this shit again". but hl2 in vr? it's like you're playing it for the first time, a wide eyed youth

So they already have the tools to improve recommendations, they just aren't using them? I have no idea why they've buried this, it's actually pretty cool.

DEMO LIVE!!🚨🚀

Wild Blue Skies is playable right now at Steam Next Fest. On-rails shooter action. Branching paths. Boss fights. Bowie's confidence. Roe's standards. Thorne's ego. Chuck's wholesome energy. It's all there.

Go play it. 🎮

I want everyone to play 868-BACK (sequel to 868-HACK) which is a computer-hacking strategy roguelike where you are working to dismantle capitalism one server at a time.

It's Michael Brough's new game, the demo is up and it is pretty amazing. <3

Ha ha, both funny and a true story

Yeah, it's a tough problem definitely. But anything that nudges closer to what people are actually looking for would be an improvement

It's probably similar, yeah. Social media pushes whatever is driving engagement, Steam is pushing whatever is driving sales. Both probably succeed on some level but failing to fully consider what the user is actually looking for must have some cost. In my case, extreme frustration

Loved Titan Isles at launch, well worth taking a look if you're after a good co-op adventure. I'll be picking this up again come payday

Warp Bound looks great. Strong nostalgic/ 90s aesthetic, interesting gameplay loop. I'm into it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dqo...

Hi Alex, we're making Alliance Tales: Battle for the Frontier, a 90s style story-drive space combat sim with a title that's probably too long.

I understand the frustration, but I do think on the whole it's a pretty good storefront. But anything related to discovery/recommendation (something that would benefit both customers and devs it actually worked) is just totally broken, and it really doesn't need to be.

Yeah, their system makes even less sense there where they're showing you games you own, so it's not even like they're trying to sell you anything.

It's so bad!

I really wish Steam's "More like this" actually showed me games that are like the one I'm currently looking at, rather than just ultra popular games that happen share tags. It's really not fit for purpose.

Demon Tides on Steam Race across open oceans and uncover a kingdom’s dark secrets. Expressively platform your way across dozens of locales, upgrading your gear and modifying your move-set every step of the way!

Demon Tides is out within an hour. Been poking around it early and while I've barely had time to scratch the surface (it's HUGE for an indie platformer), I've been really enjoying it.

It starts you off with all the core powers from Demon Turf, and you customize your move-set from there with unlocks

I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface. Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces. Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done! But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.

The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

Adobe Illustrator on top (you can use any free tool that makes SVG vector files. I just own an old illustrator version. Bottom: the PCB Forge tool I made

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind

Good on them! Solidarity with the workers. Also would be a good idea to not buy or play any Ubisoft games for the duration of the strike, just to put some extra pressure on the numbers.

All the 3D files from the Galaxy Project are now available to download as sketchup or collada files
