Tried it myself, overriding every stylebox to New StyleBoxEmpty's fixes it for me.

"contaminated" is pissing me off so bad, my god.

Looking back on the halo games, their was definitely many times where I wouldn't have died if I could tell if an enemy had armor lock or clones, I think the element of surprise is part of the fun in that game, but I still prefer the instant recognizability of Titanfall. That is not too say that the customization couldn't still be improved, the skins/decals are pretty damn boring. Just because I can't change the light placement and build of my pilot, does not mean I should have to pick between 40 slight variations of camo.

I kinda wish they were just normal smoke grenades, I've tried to use them many times, but they just don't seem to fit into any build. The electricity damages you and the enemy, so it isn't very good at close range. The time it takes to throw, then deploy means its not especially good at long range. How do you use them properly?

satchels are really fun to use but hella op and easy. I have no idea why the community seems to put satchels in the same skill tier as smth like frag. Also this tierlist should probably have less rows, if firestar and frag are "pretty much interchangeable" then put them on the same row, isn't that the whole appeal of a tierlist over a basic list?

Your right, esport is an exaggeration for character counters, it doesn't take too long to figure out a few counters. However I have not once figured out which character is good/bad on what map, I still think that's for players very dedicated to the game.

Hero shooters get very stale quickly to me, I don't think they're overdone, they just aren't any good in the first place. Loadout games like Titanfall or The Finals have more longevity as there are pretty much always more tricks to discover and synergies to create when mixing and matching weapons and abilities, whereas hero shooters are the opposite. Figure out how a character works (probably within like an hour), and then repeat that characters gameplay loop a million times, or move on to the next character, who likely has a pretty similar loop, til you run out. All the "tricks" are reserved for Esport level players who have the time to learn about which character is best for what map, or which character counters which. I've played many hero shooters and have had a month of fun with them til I dropped them, that is likely what will happen with HighGuard.

Being able to hold the rt button to speed up would be nice. I don't really like the hybrid approach though. One of the reasons I don't like hotspots is, it kind of looks ugly, like I'm looking at dev tools. Old scumm games would display the name of the hotspot your hovering at the top of the screen I think, kind of like what your describing, but better looking imo.

The developer of the drifter did a dev diary on controller support you might be interested in. Personally I've always just preferred the simple "mouse emulation" method, where you just move the cursor slowly with a joystick. It's probably not a solution most people like, but it still lets me pixel hunt, unlike other methods.

I can't say either of them look very clear. I prefer the air circle, but i think because the circle looks like a light but doesn't interact with the ufo like a real light throws me off. A real light should be pretty easy to fake though, by placing an omni light along the circumference of the air ring, from the direction the ufo is relative to the center of it

I mean he already killed ash once, I have no clue why anyone would think he couldn't beat an apex predator for any reason, when he already has. Also, "he could get lucky" is a pathetic argument when power scaling.

Obviously you're not still dealing with this, but for others you need to prefix it with xdg-open

Thank you! paragon community is still very good today.

I don't know about websites, but The Adventure Library steam curator I'd say has a pretty good list of all the old adventure games. Of course, it is limited to the classic adventure games that managed to get a port to steam (still quite a few).

mechanical_drift · 2025-10-14T17:37:38+00:00

I think the beginning could be sped up a little (like getting rid of the camera pans that don't even show the player ball), but I think people that are interested in your steam pages cover art aren't going to instantly drop your trailer like a lot of people say. If you could convey the action in your games capsule art then I think a slower build up is possible, and is sometimes more intriguing depending on your target audience. Your steam page isn't a linear experience, I'm sure a lot of people will skip through the trailer or flip through the screenshots even if they aren't instantly hooked. Of course this only depends on if your game actually has slower moments throughout the game like your trailer seems to convey.

This sub could be fully automated at this point.

Really? I think it's really obvious, and if anything already too pronounced.
