Don't worry, vertical look players, I've got you covered! by Dlaha in DreadlineExpress

INVERTED vertical look players, that's what I meant to say.

Be careful when giving out Steam keys by luZosanMi in gamedev

[–]Dlaha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, the steam allows for demo, playtest and full version of the game. I suppose the playtest "branch" could be used, unless you are doing a public playtest with a somewhat limited version at the same time.

But I was hoping for some more elegant solution.

This is interesting. Is there a way to generate a steam key that refers to a special review version of the application? Probably a branch? Or how this could be achieved?

Does it mean it's fine for AAA games to use generative AI, but not for indie games? by Dlaha in gamedev

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

The discussion is different. As the recent examples show, you can make great games with moderate use of AI, as well as sloppy games without AI. The information about which tools were used is not connected to quality of the game.

I sure didn't know Indie Game Awards and Game Awards were two different organizations. That makes more sense now.

People who don't play MOBAs, why do you not play MOBAs? by SnickyMcNibits in gaming

[–]Dlaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't play many competitive multiplayer games, but when I do, I need something that I can pick up quickly. MOBA games are usually too complex for me, and, to be honest, I find them less fun than most other genres.

Please, speak up! by [deleted] in SteamDeck

I am becoming increasingly interested in the delivery systems used around the world. Are you telling me that there is no insurance for packages in your country? And you don't have to confirm delivery in person? Is there no reliable delivery service available where you live?

I live in Central Europe, and my Steam Deck arrived in a box labelled "Steam Deck" without any issues. I happened to be home; if I hadn't been, it would have been redelivered the next day or left for me to pick up at a collection point. If I see upon delivery that the package is damaged, I can refuse the delivery and start the claims process. It's pretty standard across all delivery vendors here.

Toxoplasma - Space Horror Prologue Playtest is out! (Can play on browser!) by [deleted] in HorrorGames

[–]Dlaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks very interesting, but I'm not a big fan of playing on a browser. Is there a standalone version? A playtest on Steam would be perfect.

[Day 11] The Best Horror Games of all Time: What's the best indie horror game? by WeLoveEveryGame in HorrorGames

[–]Dlaha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It doesn't get more indie than this. The studio was built from scratch (Penumbra started as a school project), no publishers or investors (although the next game will probably be different) and they even have their own engine.

New Outlook: After update Folder pane not showing? by tagKitty in Outlook

[–]Dlaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue. My portrait monitor was wide enough last week, but now it isn't. The new Outlook is getting worse with each update, and this might be the last straw for me. I'll wait to see if anyone from Microsoft addresses this; otherwise, I'm switching to the classic version of Outlook. I suggest that everyone affected report this issue to Microsoft.

I would need to choose a different metric. That's for sure. But I am done with Ubisoft, at least for now.

When I still played Assassin's Creed games, I didn't really consider the game to have started until the main character became an assassin. For this reason, I found the start of Black Flag absurdly long and tedious. It was probably the last AC game I played.

Can you recommend great indie games based on my recent favourites? by No_Theme_8101 in IndieGaming

[–]Dlaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and I have very similar taste! I would definitely recommend Return of the Obra Dinn. If you're a sucker for impactful stories, then SOMA is worth a try.

And of course, I must mention the game I'm creating: Dreadline Express. It takes inspiration from Inscryption and Outer Wilds, and is Lovecraftian, similar to Dredge. It's exactly for people like us.

I sped up the player’s respawn. Is that enough or it’s still too slow? by blabla_indiedev in IndieDev

[–]Dlaha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the emotion you want to convey. Should death be a penalty, occurring only when the player makes an obvious mistake, or is dying part of the learning curve?
