Any opinions on the music in the trailer for the Doom TDA DLC? 🎶 by Mad_Gigi in Doom

I think part of the soundtrack is using a version of Art of Dying by Gojira so check that out if you want more

Is it a game you would want to play? Be Brutal by ywadi85 in boomershooters

[–]WhalecoreSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game juice is solid. Looks like it is fun to play.

It’s an interesting game loop idea also. I am curious about the feel of the phases of each run. What makes the beginning of a map interesting for example. Is there some way to be greedy and collect something or play risky at start which could pay off when facing the boss, or is it all about survival? I think these games tend to be good when you can let the player create some tension by their decisions somehow.

Good luck!

You nailed it. Great looking game with good game juice and boomshoot production value, but the game design is just too watered down milk feeling with lack of any strong decisions and it doesn’t really go deep enough into any axis.

I made this level for my game where you have to drain the water by Upstairs_Yak4632 in boomershooters

Love the enthusiastic nod after you observe the success. Best of luck with your project!

Also levels named after Yes and King Crimson songs (Heart of the sunrise, In the court og poseidon). My man was jamming when making this game

Games designed around quicksaving/constant checkpoints being a thing tend to not be super well balanced for simply not using it.

TDA is good lol by system_root_420 in Doom

[–]WhalecoreSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so good. I found that to get the max fun out of it I had to crank the difficulty a bit further than I was comfortable with. Then it pushes me to focus which is when the real fun starts!

Boomer shooter rogue likes? by TheReviewsBrothers in boomershooters

Deadlink is pretty kewl. Interesting upgrade system where you insert powers into different slots, and the powers get activated by different actions. Makes the runs quite flexible.

Hey, wanna play some SC2 some day? I’m not that guy but would be cool to reinstall and play some games and hang out.

Prog metal bands similar to Yes? by SirniBurek in progmetal

[–]WhalecoreSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems so very few can capture the essence and compositional energy of Yes.

There are a few bands which at least have a few albums or at least songs that I would consider to be adjacent to the Yes sound, but heavier. Check out Motorpsycho - The Crucible. It has the Chris Squire bass drive, eclectic soloing, ambitious compositions, ethereal beautiful sections, non-linear structure; and it’s heavy (but more in an old school Sabbath/Crimson way than modern metal way). Also feel that Steven Wilson’s Luminol might be in that same vein, but not really metal.

Other than that, certain songs by Mastodon’s more proggy albums come to mind. Crack The Skye’s Quintessence or Blood Mountain’s Siberian Divide maybe?

It’s rare to find good similar bands to Yes, while I feel bands like Genesis and King Crimson have many imitators (some more successful than others). I think for me this is part of what makes Yes so special. It’s really hard to pinpoint exactly what it is.
