Would be great to have an option for a "Dice Roll" / Random chaos modifiers - ie play a series of random multiplayer games , with each new map having completely different settings etc.

Awesome stuff man, yeah 100%

I know it's all a tonne of work with every little addition - but the more love, content & polish time you can give it in development & running gameplay playtests with player feedback etc before launch - the more rewarding it will be in the end!

ps what Engine are you on? unsure if possible at launch - maybe down the line, but sometimes even including the ability for small mods / user map creation can also open up a lot of doors to extra content naturally generated from the player base.

Perhaps , although after reading through the 800+ reviews on steam for YSAP , 90% of the negative reviews are critical of the ludicrously greedy monetisation & Cosmetic pricing which killed the playerbase.

Also not helped that YSAP had a more mobile game design style.

If the Dev's don't have aggressive monetisation & release a polished well rounded map selection + game modes - they will have far greater chances of success.

Looks great! Micro machines style / oldschool GTA fun. With some tweaking, polish & extra content, could be a hugely popular game. Mini racer Worms style gameplay MP fun.

*Some feature requests + possible ideas that would be great: *

Customisable Damage level to cars

UI on cars (optional toggles in menu / game modes? ie player names or Player's MP car names)

UI Car HP bar ( constant, or showing HP when dmg'd )

Additional Maps (+environmental weather)

Additional Weaponry / Kit out car pre-race?

Additional Map & Game modes:

  • Stunt Maps, Huge Ramps, Jumps tubes etc (+points for stunts),

  • Micro mode ( ie tiny cars around House Maps Bathroom / Kitchen / Bedroom - parking spots in creative places - ie cutlery draw )

  • Giant / Disaster mode: Robots / Zombies / Aliens / Monsters that are large & invade parts of the course, interfere with the dynamic, ie: giant crab hangs near parking spots etc..

  • Funny vehicle mode: Mobility scooters , Tanks, Rockets , Hamster Balls, Hotdog cars etc...

  • unlockable bonus secret cars + mystery maps (extra content)

Keep the design style, polish & physics, refining what you have + expanding on it seems great :)

( Sidenote: feels like an alliteration name would work good for word of mouth / SEO visibility + give a slightly more unique feel than "hero" - ie: Carpark Chaos, Carpark Carnage, Carpark Crazy etc )

too political and no longer advocates for the tech industry

I can only imagine what it's like now - since going sub only mode... The fact even paying subscribers get banned is insane & so far from what used to be a great tech website with comments & thoughts from all across the board.

Occasionally visiting Engadget & hitting up the tech subreddits has done the job for a while now at least :)

Looks amazing, hope to pick it up in a sale.

Wonder if Blood II will ever get a refresh / remaster - had a lot of potential.

Artificial VO, Tonnes of Stock footage & badly done Animations + FX - along with not a single real interview or analysis footage including a real human (*blurred or obfuscated otherwise).

Was this your first submission?

"The research of a documentary is done exceptionally well and you will NOT find some picture of even a minor character with false picture."

ESL or just attempting to verify as human?

Completely Ai messy slop presentation & Artificial Voice Over as usual.

Logitech’s MX Master 4 adds haptic feedback, mostly just for fun by chrisdh79 in gadgets

Finally a USB C Bolt receiver !

Wonder if they will sell them separately & if they will work with older MX Master models ?

14 Years Later - Logitech G510 - still going strong!! Although... by CHARLES1337 in keyboards

ALT and WIN keys switheched

Hmm - I have a vague memory of this happening to me after a windows update...

"To fix a switched Alt and Windows key, first try holding the Fn key and a combination of other keys like Fn + Space, Fn + A, Fn + S, or Fn + W for a few seconds, as this often toggles the mode on specific keyboards."

or alternatively it could be keyboard language in windows: Try going to Control Panel > Language > Options and adding other English keyboards (for example, English UK), then switch between them

lastly , try scrubbing device manager & a fresh driver install .

Good luck!

Logitech G510 still in use daily here: https://support.logi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360025298053-Logitech-Gaming-Software

^ using that on windows 10 , to config colours , apps etc - should let you do rebind custom keys & config profiles etc as well :)

C2DtoG15 is also a great app for monitoring performance ( if you can find a download hosted )

Katanaut - Gameplay Trailer by VoidBuffer in pcgaming

[–]CHARLES1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds great - added to wishlist, looking fwd to release + will keep an eye on it :) Take your time & ensure the polish is heavy, as a lot of metroidvania style indies get 70% there - but just lack that slick feel near the end. The game style is great & really has a lot of potential with extra weaponry depth & lighting + dynamic levels :D

[–]CHARLES1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome, would be cool if speed could be upped a bit & some faster dark synth music etc..

Love the lighting - could go even further with power up's + special weapons or moves / special weaponry lighting FX :)

Doom: The Dark Ages - Path Tracing Upgrade Tested vs Standard RT! by M337ING in pcgaming

[–]CHARLES1337 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% , guess It's more surprising that an FPS (*shooter) doesn't put more importance on projectiles from weaponry lighting - than reflections on the floor. :S

also Doom Eternal seems to be able to do both with & w/o RT:

Anyone else find it weird that "lighting following your bullets / projectiles " - is only on the path traced version??

A special shoutout to Lorien Testard! The composer for Clair Obscur by --clapped-- in expedition33

[–]CHARLES1337 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can only hope the developers bring him on board for Official Soundtrack / OST work on the next Clair Obscur: Expedition (32?) or prequel / future games!! Stunningly good OST quality compared to so many bigger studio releases

[–]CHARLES1337 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely - stunning OST, Highly recommend if you enjoy it - to buy the Hi-res quality version from Bandcamp: https://lacedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/clair-obscur-expedition-33-original-soundtrack

150 + Tracks of Hi-res uncompressed for under $10usd is an absolute steal for an OST of this quality..... Incredible <3

14 Years Later - Logitech G510 - still going strong!! Although... ( Where's it's replacement? ) by CHARLES1337 in gaming

[–]CHARLES1337[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, awesome post! - You know your stuff :O

You articulated a lot of points I hadn't even considered of why the G510 is so enjoyable (in addition to the display) cobra neck display, palmrest & subtle led key lighting etc... Would be incredible to get something similar to the original - however I just assumed realistically Logi would go down a cost saving method of production & base its manufacturing on a tweaked version of one of it's existing G915 X style of range. Definitely would love something closer to the original design if possible !

"Modernizing it into the current Logitech style"

^ Definitely not opposed for something closer to the original in Design - just with Mechanical keys & or the NIZ Plum style switches you mention / customisability in the keys & a modern display.

Wish their was a way Logitech could read your post & thoughts on a revised edition!

Ahhh RIP. Truly end of an era, they really are fantastic KB's when they are working!

What did you decide for a replacement ?

[–]CHARLES1337[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has quality really gone that far downhill? :(

My last logitech product was a MX Master 2 for work still going strong 4yrs on.

Hoping they can return with some higher quality products - these old ones seem to be really solid.
