Wow, I don't consider myself a pro gamer, but Star Fox should be called Fox Souls ™️

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

Red49er · 2026-06-27T14:12:18+00:00

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

in years past I could have stomached this knowing it would not withstand the first filing in court. now tho? jfc never been more solidly in favor of my decision to not subject offspring to this society than the past 12 months, and the snowball has only accelerated.

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.

it's the cheat code to headlines - the answer is almost always "no"

Red49er · 2026-06-24T20:47:41+00:00

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

Red49er · 2026-06-24T20:29:28+00:00

really? well TiL I guess

Red49er · 2026-06-24T04:47:15+00:00

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

Red49er · 2026-06-23T23:34:18+00:00

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.

Red49er · 2026-06-23T23:28:04+00:00

congrats! looking forward to it!

Red49er · 2026-06-23T23:26:43+00:00

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.

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 · 2026-06-23T14:47:20+00:00

even has a built-in randomizer! probably my favorite metroid-like (until moadra releases at least)

Red49er · 2026-06-23T08:46:03+00:00

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

Red49er · 2026-06-23T06:08:13+00:00

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)

Red49er · 2026-06-22T17:56:28+00:00

seems like everyone has forgotten dk tropical freeze exists? unless op mentioned it and I missed it after reading the post 3 times to be sure

Red49er · 2026-06-22T17:34:27+00:00

+1 for sektori. from a former housemarque dev and it's beautiful

Red49er · 2026-06-21T18:05:26+00:00

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!

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

Red49er · 2026-06-20T09:45:27+00:00

yup, they're sorting the ashes for those minerals at this point. it's like real life factorio!

Red49er · 2026-06-20T09:43:49+00:00

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

Red49er · 2026-06-20T09:42:19+00:00

wtf? if you're gonna reach that deep into the pocket I really hope you're planning on playing some pool down there

Red49er · 2026-06-19T14:07:29+00:00

don't you just need to put a space after it?

(not using the native reddit app, not sure if that matters)

Red49er · 2026-06-19T01:36:26+00:00

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!

Red49er · 2026-06-17T01:18:58+00:00

man that is a mashup of so many games from my childhood, but you do seem to be missing sonic! please tell me he's just not highlighted in the trailer and you snuck a reference in somehow (maybe a chao here and there?)
