while i agree i also think there's more of a fell-for-it-again award here for sony specifically. chasing graphical fidelity and then half-assing, now cutting, releases for the platform best suited for graphical fidelity lol...

i will never hand it to ninty but at least they make console games

dril must fall

i dont particularly care about sony not putting their games on steam other than these idiots are gonna kill housemarque. saros is a pc game dude.

Illustrated cover of WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS by S. Jean. In the center are two men standing back to back. The short of the two, Ambrose, has fair skin, red hair, glasses, and one green eyes and one glowing hazel eye. He is wearing an open button-up with an undershirt beneath it. In his hands are an open book and a potion bottle with red liquid inside. He is glancing back at the man behind him. The taller of the two, Renwick, has fair skin, dark brown feathered hair, and green eyes. He also has pointed ears, like an elf. He is wearing a dark vest over a dark shirt. In his raised hand are a bundle of daisies. While Ambrose looks unamused, Renwick has a coy smile on his lips as he gazes as Ambrose. Behind them is an open window with a golden glow and in the foreground are more daisies. The colors are soft and give it a sort of ephemeral feel. Along the top is a tagline that reads: "an herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse before summer ends..." and below is the release date, JULY 28th, 2026.

A blurb graphic for When Yesterday Ends. The blurb reads: Nettles Hollow is as good a place as any to restart your life. At least, Ambrose Howl hopes so after his life falls apart. The town’s got everything he needs: a general store carrying his favorite cigarettes, a library he could get lost in, and a hedge witch who immediately befriends him. He settles in as an herbalist, using the knowledge he’d gained from academia that he’d left behind, and for once in his life, he feels like he could be content. It’s not so bad living in some rural, far-flung town. Until he’s visited and kidnapped by the skeleton valet of Renwick Frey, a fey lord living in hiding who is cursed to eat human hearts every five summers to remain alive. As his next victim, Ambrose saves himself by making the desperate claim of knowing how to break curses. Renwick is charmed enough to let him try, but if Ambrose can’t break the curse by summer’s end, then his heart is forfeit. The problem? He’s never broken a curse in his life, and given the mysterious circumstances of this one, he might even die before summer ends. Along the bottom is where to preorder the book, which is: https://books.earlronove.com/whenyesterdayends

🌿 a grumpy herbalist who left his life behind
🌿 a fey lord who eats human hearts to live
🌿 a curse that must be broken before summer ends

Dragon Seeker by craze a totally normal rpg about killing bahamut

find it share.google/2G670EMs2V65...

always loved the gnome sculpture desk

items

Just place Plastic Trees to replace dying real trees.

Real trees belong in a tree museum anyway.

Wishlist my game: store.steampowered.com/app/3031880/...

then again i also think verso looks busted so maybe i just cant see aaa-ass men

not from a place of malice or judgement, just confusion:

i do not get the leon thirst. his model looks busted af to me and i dont mean just "lol hes middle aged". i have charmed so many older guys in my life pre-bf. i just think he looks bad in every screenshot ive seen

Know how Escaping in classic RPGs feels like a chore of repeating the same action until the game lets you succeed?

And how modern iterations have streamlined it into a binary (100% or 0%) so its a textureless formality?

Another genre may have found ways to make Escape more engaging: Space sims :)

UNOWN COOL S

this would actually be pretty easy to implement in newer RMs. you can force-escape any actor or enemy and it will slip out

some of the personas do something vaaaaguely like this where your Rise/Fuuka can get you out in X turns but i used that system so rarely

its not just gameplay, its also adding an inherent story to the tension, which i love. the rng escape becomes your effort

one day I'll make the free k-gacha of my dreams...

i think maybe i need to just make bad games and find the right audience to help me carve out something stellar.

my friends are very helpful and willing to test my mad designs but they are not into this genre, at least not without waifus and skip tickets

instead i add systems and hyperscaling, including constant enemy resets where you use your power to re-progress faster. and then i wind up with these 17 hour games that i feel are too fast-paced out of necessity even if they probably arent

(daisy is NOT 17 hours dont worry)

this alllll stemmed from a joke about making a game where you have to level to 99 off of just basic slimes. and i wonder if maybe that would be more beautiful, even if only like three people would play it.

is this....obvious? now that I'm typing it out, maybe even moreso. but it really hit me as i keep trying these Grind Games.

i keep making daisy a bit faster, a bit faster cuz i didn't want to lose the player even though the *point* is to find the muscle memory and meditation vs each fish school

traversing the zubat tunnel, theres a sense of relief at making it through. theres multiple maps or zones to show you're Progressing. even if people complain about encounter rate, it's not considered grinding

but running in a forest grass patch to find pikachu is grinding. you're *still*.

something im trying to crunch on lately is the concept of the grind and how important it is to have some sort of visual or spatial representation -- something i think slimewashing kinda lacked and daisy goes fishing definitely does.

people complain about grinding outside of town, not in the cave

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace
