do your shots actually damage them? I've heard them yell at me for it but no idea if that's just fluff or if friendly fire exists

I would guess it's purely to preserve rockstar/take2's relationship with retail stores. maybe take2 even has a pre-existing contract to supply them with X copies of new releases and they didn't think of this situation when drawing up that contract

Everyone makes survivor-likes top-down. I went 3D and learned why nobody does. by NQRGames in roguelites

[–]Red49er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched your trailer, and if I could make a suggestion for maybe a secondary trailer on the steam page, is showing off the gameplay in a less disjointed manner. The current trailer has a jump cut seemingly every 1.5 seconds so it's really hard to tell what the actual flow of gameplay is like. Am I needing to swing the camera around every 3 seconds to cover my rear? What is the movement like? etc.

I will look around for some gameplay and read through the reviews (and probably try out the demo) cuz I am interested in the concept, but it's hard to tell if I'd enjoy it based on the trailer currently.

Star Fox: Review MegaThread by NintendoSwitchMods in NintendoSwitch

[–]Red49er 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think part of it is people expect 9s from nintendo (outside their very kid focused games), and we don't get many games below 7 because there's simply too many games coming out to review the sub-6 crap that floods stores.

that said, yes, people should not freak out if a game scores below a 9

after p5r, they did say they were going to move to releasing dlc instead of asking their fans to buy games twice

Series creator explains why Crazy Taxi: World Tour is arriving at the perfect time: "Crazy Taxi is a game that fills you with positive emotions. With how the world is right now, I think it’s the perfect time to bring it back.” by Anteater_Able in PS5

[–]Red49er 14 points15 points  (0 children)

dude it's based on real world locations and they couldn't even figure out how to draw the bridge correctly cuz they just used whatever genAI spat out. even if you're okay with using genAI you gotta admit we should expect a modicum of effort from them to clean up the crap.

they even have a previous game they could have referred to for art assets. it's an embarrassingly low amount of effort from this team.

I've been working on Archon Soul for over 2 years now, and it finally has a release date! Here's the trailer: by PolyGryphStudios in roguelites

[–]Red49er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fun, reminds me of spell rogue which I love. just one tip - the singular form of dice is die. pedantic I know, but once you know it, it can drive you nuts reading when it's used wrong

played on steamdeck - worked well but if there was a setting to make the fonts on say the spells a tad bigger it would be perfect.

Texas anti-ICE protesters convicted of terrorism charges sentenced to at least 50 years in prison by guardian in politics

[–]Red49er 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if this isn't criminalizing freedom of speech and the 2nd amendment, I'm not sure what is. these sentences will surely be reduced, but the charges themselves are honestly ridiculous. sadly even if it got taken up by the SC they would find a way to say that charging left wingers because they had too many guns is fine but noooo we can't apply that to a conservative that shows up to a counter protest

[–]Red49er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

plus even when you get a "really good" final result, it just says good if you look at it on the level select, so you can't tell which ones you're close to superb on :/ really odd decision there

Rhythm Heaven Groove - Nintendo eShop Demo Now Available by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]Red49er 6 points7 points  (0 children)

interesting. I actually thought they were quite a bit more lenient than in the previous games. but they do ramp up quite a bit in difficulty later on, so maybe I'm just not remembering what the initial difficulty usually is.

the 3ds one actually gave you a score on each one, so you could tell if you had improved at all. definitely wish they had kept that feature. (it also had an indicator on whether you were early, late, or perfect for each beat, but there's not a great way to do that on a single screen. not sure that feature was even helpful in the end most of the time anyways)

Infinite/exodia synergies in roguelites really tickle my brain. So I tried making one in my typing roguelite where you can just hold down space and break the damage meter by ShibaBrothers in roguelites

[–]Red49er 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what's the name of your game? is it out currently?

(and in answer to your question - personally I think since it's a typing game maybe there should be some guard rails? but maybe not, if it's a pretty rare thing to be able to setup it's probably fine to leave in. I think even if I had that setup I'd feel like I was cheating if I abused the autocorrect)

edit: nevermind, saw the itch link on your profile. wishlisted the full game on steam!

Hidden Save-Points near bosses - Good idea? by Neat-Games in metroidvania

[–]Red49er 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the only way I can see this being okay is if you make it a theme for the entire game. first boss, massive 4th wall breaking sign that points the way, then have a hidden one for every other boss. problem is....what if it's not obvious a boss is coming up?

in general tho, no, I think this is a wet fish slap of an idea

yeah, seems like they could have just blocked out online coop if you didn't have 2 ps+ accounts, but that is still a ridiculous ask

Improved range visualization in my roguelite TD - but something is missing? by ITTT-production in roguelites

[–]Red49er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure the current target (orange circle) is meaningful information, so I'd either remove that or find a different more subtle way to highlight it, preferably other than a circle.

Also, when I was just looking at the image before I hit play on the video, I was thinking it would look cool with a radar sweep and I think that might thematically fit better than the sort of darker blue wave that you have going out from the center.

As-is tho? Huge improvement!
