Gloom Gate is insane! I was playing and my partner was like “I didn’t realize the playdate could do stuff like that” Neither did I haha.

I’m actually trying to get back into playing the playdate more and doing some dev! AI has generally made me very pessimistic and depressed about the games space so I’ve somewhat retreated to the playdate as a bastion of mostly AI free stuff. In fact I’ve been looking at your noble game engine example project a decent amount to try and gauge if I want to use it for my stuff! It’s a great repo, thanks for making it :)

I find the gameplay more interesting this time around honestly. There are so many ways to mix and match your moves. You get 3 choices of a primary attack, 3 choices of a secondary attack, and I think like 6 or 7(?) combo finishers. You can mix and match those in a bunch of ways and each of those have their own trees to improve them, and you can swap them out. You start with one primary attack but can unlock everything as you find materials and stuff.

And those are just your normal moves. Each of the bosses you can fight will give a combat ability which uses a power meter that recharges by using your normal attacks. The bosses each give you a choice of 2-3 combat abilities to have at any one time, and you can swap later if desired (with certain items). Plus there are various attack types that different enemies are or resistant against, plus some of the status effects you can apply have synergies.

Exploring is a total treat too. The areas feel so packed with cool things to find and do. Just having an absolute blast

Thank you! 😁

Thank you!

Yep that’s it

Looks fucking abysmal

I’m not 100% sure yet. I think I want to make a beginner kaizo hack… But mainly just learning the tool right now and will see if I’m inspired to do something after

Yeah the main thing I’ve noticed is solo queues tend to be way chiller. People are mostly just minding their own business. Group queue however is, for the most part, shoot on sight. Which at least feels a little less bad since you have people with you

Yeah definitely mostly melee. The way enemies respond to hits in different parts of their body is suuuuper satisfying haha. There are guns and bows and arrows but ammo is pretty sparse

I really like dying light! The first game is one of my favorite zombie games. Above average open world game imo. Dying light 2 is decent but not as fun as the first imo. The beast so far has been really fun though. None of the games are anything too special, but the combat and parkour are pretty satisfying

Yeah I don’t think the combat is hard by any means, I just found it really boring

Yeah I totally feel this. I’m constantly really exhausted and often feeling really hopeless. Fwiw I only posted this particular one as I’m in Seattle and it being this close to home is very alarming to me. I try not to post much to these communities.

It’s a weird thing where I agree and want to see a better ratio but the situation does often feel that dire

Turning my partners desktop into a nas but need some kind of desktop environment replacement. Feel like this could be a good option

While definitely more clunky than the original games system, I don’t recall any boss fight where you couldn’t at least die at the edge of the boss area you enter on and grab your stuff without actually fighting the boss. Ive done this pretty frequently

Earthbound and mother 3 with English patch!

A lot of these springing up lately. Love to see it and I hope they can survive 🙏

Yep breathed a huge sigh of relief seeing my state here. Hope more join on

Idk I mean SIE published 46ish? games on psvr 1. That’s a pretty decent amount for niche unproven tech

Eh. I’d argue they were actually pretty supportive of the first psvr and the PSP. Psvr 2 and vita though? Totally agree
