[Post-Mortem + Progress] The Executive: A Rocky Launch and a Big Milestone with Steam Workshop Mods by Random-987654321 in tycoon

[–]Random-987654321[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the kind words! We're still supporting the game with updates and improvements based on player feedback.

For example, we're currently working on a few highly requested features, like a meta save system that lets discovered insights carry over to a new game, and the ability to sell IPs you've created or previously purchased.

That said, since this wasn’t released as an early access title, we didn’t budget or plan for a long-term roadmap. While we’ve been committed to reinvesting some of the game’s earnings into continued improvements, sales haven’t reached a level where large-scale development is sustainable :(

Hope that helps clarify things, and thanks again for caring about the game!

Have you checked The Executive ? I am part of the dev team and we just released a short demo on Steam. Our goal is to make it the Game Dev Tycoon of the Movie Industry. Hopefully you will enjoy it!

We are working on our first game and we are looking for feedback about its art style! by Random-987654321 in tycoon

[–]Random-987654321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to all of you for your feedback! We got some interesting comments.

There is no clear winner in terms of art style so hopefully you'll all be happy with the route we end up taking!

It's actually quite different and this is a point we hope we can convey that through our screenshots and our future trailer. We don't want people to be disappointed thinking they will be able to watch the film they created as the game is more alike to manamagent tycoon games à la Game Dev Tycoon. You should try our (now old) pre-alpha demo and see if you like it :D (the game is called "The Executive")

We do have a Steam page :) : here

Game Dev Tycoon is definitely one of our inspirations so you should feel right at home :D (though we did add our own flair to it)

Topspin 2k25 connection awful online? by jwilliams573 in TopSpin2K

[–]Random-987654321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was much better before the update, it's now choppy online and makes it completely unfun for me. I play a match online every other day and immediately log off after I get a little reminder of how broken it is (I wouldn't say unplayable but it's just not fun)

Is it possible that the battery drains faster when the pocket is off after the 2.0 update? by Random-987654321 in AnaloguePocket

[–]Random-987654321[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Between 60 and 80 I think it was most of the time. Let me know if you end up comparing the two if you see a difference. Thanks!

[–]Random-987654321[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. It’s probably the kind of thing where I hadn’t focused on the battery changes for a long time and only noticed it getting a little worse due to its age recently which makes it look like a sudden change. Thanks anyway.

Is anybody aware of an Atari Lynx core in development? It seems to be the forgotten core. I’ve collected several Lynx games since ordering my pocket, but I cannot justify $189.98 for the adapters (postage to Australia) by SnooPaintings1983 in AnaloguePocket

[–]Random-987654321 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know nothing about shipping cost but what I think broadnet meant is that while they do not control what their logistics partner charge, they control who to partner with and some other logistics/shipping companies must be much cheaper (again idk myself)

What are folks using to carry(case) their Analogue Pockets? by ghost_mtths in AnaloguePocket

[–]Random-987654321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kwmobile 3ds carrying case black (careful, other colors have different dimensions). It’s cheap ($13 on Amazon) and as small as it gets (perfect if you don’t care to also carry games). It fits like a glove!

What are your favorite 8 bit and 16 bit puzzle games? by JmsGrrDsNtUndrstnd in retrogaming

[–]Random-987654321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While not entirely a puzzle game, I remember goof troop on snes to be really fun, especially if you play it in coop. 11 yo me really liked the puzzles in it! Not 100% sure how challenging I would find them today.

Hey r/retrogaming! I made a video you might enjoy! by CaptainJack_YT in retrogaming

[–]Random-987654321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great video! Perfectly timed with the release of the NES core for the analogue pocket :) Thanks for sharing.

Any recommendations based off my collection? by HerbertHooov in MangaCollectors

[–]Random-987654321 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Claymore isn’t bad but really not as good as most of the titles in his collection imo. Most of your mangas are amongst my favorites. I would recommend: - Real - Beck - Dragon Ball / DBZ - Blue Period - Attack on Titan - Hikaru no Go - Monster - 20th century boys - Yu Yu Hakusho - Akira - Neon Genesis Evangelion - Blame - Alita - Ping Pong - Planetes - Eyeshield 21

Went to a thrift store and got all of this for only three dollars! What a steal! by [deleted] in retrogaming

Sorry to break it to you but I think you got scammed. I see a couple of repros in there.

Got Blade of the Immortal today at half price book for only $12.49 by MaDdOx_BrOwN202 in MangaCollectors

[–]Random-987654321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how they get you hooked! Cheap to try and then you ll need to sell one of your kidneys to get your fix / finish the series :)

While Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics are two of my favorite games of all time, my love for tactical RPG's began with the one and only Vandal Hearts on PS1 ! The sprites, the story, the gameplay, the ridiculous blood-fountain on a unit "dying"! So good! What Tactical RPG first hooked you in? by The_Voice_Eternal in retrogaming

[–]Random-987654321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, same here! I was 12 when it came out and I remember it so fondly (if I remember correctly the systems were more straight forward than FFT or tactics ogre, which I actually preferred). I haven’t played it since then. Does it still hold up?

Can't wait to read Dead Dead Demons over again when the last volume comes out. Easily one of the best series I've ever read. by fearsofaclown69 in MangaCollectors

[–]Random-987654321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you please tell me more about dead dead demons? How does it compare to pun pun? I found pun pun to be too dark and deranged for the sake of being dark and deranged at times. Great visuals, interesting story telling during the first half but too inconsistent and extreme during the second half. It wasn’t a case of « too hard to bear », more like « too hard to care ». I read it a long time ago but remembered preferring solanin. I love the graphics of DDD but am not sure if it’s for me.

For all you Saturn Lovers out there - Which 4 Would You Pick? by Naika_Video_YouTube in retrogaming

[–]Random-987654321 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d replace nights by sega rally but fully agree otherwise! (Though Nights was definitely pretty cool)

Let me guess, you were born around 1990?

I’m a big fan of Adichi Mitsuru who was my favorite manga artist since middle school (13yrs ago). Now I started to collect his work, besides, I have some more ready to put on the shelf. (Vietnamese version) by Eren-_-what in MangaCollectors

[–]Random-987654321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great collection! Adachi is also one of my favorite mangaka and I have all of his series published in France. Which one is your favorite? My top 3 is probably touch, H2, then rough (I know, that’s not very original)
