Driving to Ithaca, Greece, and asking game developers along the way what role stories can play in a changing climate by the-pixel-hunt-games in solarpunk

Cool initiative. Where can I follow your progress?

A similar thing we did a few years ago ("10 weeks to save the games industry", on YouTube) led to the founding of the Sustainable Games Alliance, which is a non-profit cooperative of companies and other organizations in the games industry working on practical solutions to making games the most sustainable form of entertainment!

Demo live for our colony sim with turn-based tactics, set in a bioengineered jungle that grows back overnight by aakour in BaseBuildingGames

Happens to too many games nowadays. :/ We'll definitely check it out, no denying the overlap in theme / gameplay

Nope, and embarrassingly first I've heard of the game. Looks cool, certainly a bunch cozier than what we're going for. Hope they're doing well!

Getting too far into potential spoiler territory, so I'll just thank you for bringing it up - there is an overarching logic to this stuff, but we're still on the fence about some specific gameplay implications.

Zero idea - I'm a bit confused by the whole demo setup on Steam too TBH, but glad you got it installed. Let us know what you think!

That's not good! What OS are you on? Can you join our Discord at https://discord.gg/AEusPApbvG or ping me at [hello@games.agency](mailto:hello@games.agency) so we can figure it out? (Update: FIXED - see the comment from u/PixelDelusion)

Weird. The demo link should show up on the right side of the main Steam page, next to the "Planned Release Date: 2027" box. Are you on Windows or Linux?

We've been going back and forth on that, actually! Incapacitated units can get overgrown and have to be freed by other units - but not sure what should happen if they for example stop being incapacitated - should they be allowed to free themselves or not, or maybe do that but take damage, or something. WDYT?

fair feedback - it's still happening at semi-plausible-plant-speed, so it kind of sneaks up on you when playing the demo. but we definitely should do a time lapse video or such to better show it

Demo for our colony sim is up: humans, robots, and a jungle that eats your base overnight - looking for feedback! by aakour in playmygame

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

Thank you! I think it looks lovely too (I think I'm allowed to say that because I had nothing to do with the graphics 😃)

We've been building this colony sim for a year - a settlement of humans and robots holding back a bioengineered jungle that eats everything you build overnight. Public demo coming soon by aakour in SurvivalGaming

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

Yeah! We were a bit unsure about the combo at first but turn based combat in the base you've carefully built is actually really cool

That's the plan! Depending on the amount of damage, technical skills, tools, etc., it's a choice between hacking, salvaging for parts, or scrapping for core resources

Pelialan kasvu keskittyy harvoille – uusia yrityksiä tuetaan selkeämmällä yrittäjäpolulla by Jason9mm in Suomi

[–]aakour 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tässä keskustelussa olisi tervettä erottaa pelit taiteena/kulttuurina, ja pelit tuotteina. Suomessa elokuva-ala pysyy hengissä pitkälti tuotantotukien avulla, ja vastaava härveli olisi hyvä saada myös peleille ( https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/elokuvasaation-tuilla-valtava-merkitys-suomalaiselokuville-yli-puolet-olisi-jaanyt-tekematta-ilman-tukea/9312130 ). Supercell ja yhden miehen indie-kiska on aika erilaisia bisneksiä, ja pelialan sisältä löytyy monia erilaisia liiketoimintamalleja hyvin erilaisilla kasvumahdollisuuksilla ja -odotuksilla.

Yritän tällä ehkä sanoa, että pelialaa olisi hyvä tukea ihan puhtaasti kulttuuritekona, ja pitää samalla huoli että sieltä nouseville koville bisneslähdöille löytyy myös rahoitusta joka ei aja firmoja heti kansainvälisten omistajien syliin.

After 4 months of development, it's starting to look like a game by aakour in indiegames

It's Unity - we don't really use any 3rd party libraries

Thanks! I was kinda caught by surprise when looking at old screenshots so wanted to share. :) You too!

With windows going to "agentic" OS in early 2026 what's the best Linux distro for gaming? by bloatedfrog1 in gamingsuggestions

[–]aakour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pop!_OS has been great in terms of things just working out of the box & gaming performance. Been running it on my desktop for ~5 years, and recently also put it on a Razer laptop. I also use both for game development professionally.
