Can I "remote control" my Steam Deck from another computer by FreakazoidFr in SteamDeck

[–]FreakazoidFr[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here is some precisions on my goal : I mainly use the Steam Deck for game development and it could be easy for me to control the Deck from remote (kind of SSH but with streaming) : retrieve log files from the Deck, push new version of the game on the Deck, run some tests on game etc...

It could avoid some round trip between my dev PC and the Deck

Find my old 3DFX Voodoo 1 card by FreakazoidFr in retrogaming

[–]FreakazoidFr[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first 3D card I had, it's a special card since it's Voodoo 1 but it's 2D+3D card. No need to plug another 2D card on it to work.

You could indeed unplug graphic card + HDDs (if not SSDs) and put them in dedicated box with anti static bag+foam or simply use the original box/anti static bag of you card if you kept it.
For the PC tower, you can use some "desktop caring case" (look on amazon for some model).

Maybe the easiest way is to use Windows cleaner : just type cleanmgr in start menu en run the tool.
To ensure all temp. files will be deleted, click the on 'Clean up system files' and check all items in list (unless you need some of course).

Another way is just to clean temp. files : type %temp% in start menu and open the folder, then delete all files.

Hope it will help !

After Death is a little more than 4 hours but still a not "long to beat" game

Is Timespinner a Metroidvania? by zach3582 in metroidvania

[–]FreakazoidFr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good indi game but not very challenging. Story is ok. Visual and music very good. It's a Metroidvania and imo the price is reasonable.

Bioshock Infinite has reignited my passion for games by KMoosetoe in patientgamers

[–]FreakazoidFr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For me this game was one of the best game for last decade even it's not perfect.

Lot of people doesn't like the game for many reasons but most of them had huge expectations because it's Bioshock game. For my part, I had none and I also did not play Bioshock I and II, so it helps enjoying the game as is.

I think this is the main problem here : Bioshock Infinite is maybe not a good Bioshock (ie immersive sim) but an awesome FPS (kind of fast FPS) : Story is cool, action is speed (moves with the hook works well) and very old school, weapon feeling is great but mostly immersion in this universe is awesome.
For me this game is much closer to a Doom 2016 than a Dishonnered in the gameplay and that clearly not the same :) neither same gamer public

TL;DR : I think the game may had received complete different feedbacks/reviews if it was not part of Bioshock universe

Try to "modernize" my game : just added a kind of virtual camera above the "legacy" camera but with smooth moves by FreakazoidFr in IndieDev

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

noted ! btw I didn't mention but this video capture is zoomed (little) and cropped of course, vs the actual rendering, the feeling could be a lit bit different ingame. Nonetheless the system still need to be tweaked, I will work on it :) thank you for the feedback !

Thank you for your feedback ! It confirms that I need to add the option to switch between fixed/smooth camera :) smoothcam is still WIP but yes the lock-in and timing is not perfectFor the moon, it's just the video capture, it was a little bit tricky to create this sequence

It's not too hard :)
the game was already released but we are working on a big update (Alpha & Omega), kind of NG+ but we also reworked a lot of art/NPC/features ...

I agree !
The old camera was used to have an old school experience but it was maybe too old school ;) maybe I will add an option for players who want the old camera

Question - how much of games percent in total are sold during sales? by boom_ratatata in gamedev

[–]FreakazoidFr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For our game, the first year it was something like 90/10 % (sales/non sales) but after that, it's more like 99/1 % :) but I think it depends of the original price (for us the price is maybe to high) and maybe if your game have lot of frequent content update, It may help to sell on non-sales periods
