almost every fucking video has at least one recommendation about this shit even though I never watch, it can't be that interesting

I played the playtest version of this and it's SUPER promising. Absolutely earning its place on the wishlist.

Obviously, it's got several hooks for folks who like classic SMT DRPGs, but its second (!?) battle system is also reminiscent of SRPGs and gold-box era blobbers like Pool of Radiance.

a critical/analytical lens is not meant to be a comprehensive 100% objective final word on a piece of art yippeeeeee

I also feel bent, tbh

oh you know I already own this one :)

Accept no substitutes:

"the pokemon should stay on all fours" you rejected meganium. you lie as easily as you breathe

damn, yeah, that makes me want to give it a shot

Okay *this* is the kind of appraisal I've been waiting to see. Very few of the of Marathon aficionados I know are playing it, and the folks I have talked to about it with are unfamiliar with the trilogy's story.

I would also suggest Google Cal for these same reasons

After playing the likes of Dread Delusion and Tainted Grail, I'm kinda stuck on the idea of there being a spectrum of design language, with King's Field at one extreme and Morrowind on the other.

I think the core of it is Level Design, and whether dungeons are designed as A Level or Just A Place.

(ok cool, that's good to hear, bc I make the same comparison in the video lol)

A lot of people would probably point to stuff like the elder scrolls as comparison points, but imo it's a lot like a first-person Romancing SaGa (the NES and SFC versions, anyway)

aye, the second game is like that as well. The arc of 2 is almost akin to Gothic, but instead of obvious chokepoints, it's just... open. 2's true main quest doesn't reveal itself until you've acheived a fair bit of progress, and even then you just kinda stumble into it.

what aspects are subverting your expectations?

New video out on Horripilant by @pasgame.ca @traz.bsky.social @nolram.bsky.social A very unique game with a style inspired by Vermis. Featuring a variety of gameplay-types ranging from dungeon crawling to cookie clicker resource gathering to point & click puzzling. Check it out! youtu.be/weR3HFYvn1U

pretty much lol

yep, that's how it is here in the US PNW as well. for the fourish months of standard time from mid November - early March it's dark at like 3-4pm

yooooo, SitD is great

what about DSi?

Spent the last month or so working on this new (and very important!) area for ABYSS X ZERO!

Haven't worked on an area like this since the Downtown from UNSIGHTED, so it's been very nostalgic to create these urban/city assets.

A lot of WIP elements here still!

spent the night playing CS 1.6 at a LAN party for a friend's birthday and its crazy we solved the multiplayer FPS in 2000, and then decided to spend the next 26 years making them worse in every way imaginable

you have to watch the tie-in OVA and read the light novels

MM2 SFC has automapping and thank christ

I haven't played Steins Gate before, but I still respect the pick.

Lmk if/when you wanna play Frontiers Gate Boost+, tho

I think DST is conceptually silly, but I am on team Summer Hours and don't trust people to pick Summer Hours (which is what we have for 8 months of the year anyway) as the year-round standard if we abolished DST.

my brain read this as "visual novelty" and I assumed it must've been a subpost

There is no less daylight than there was the day before.
