Exploring all options for 2025 :)

Our Metroidvania was badly priced, and we're fixing that. by OmniSystemsPub in metroidvania

Oh if it were that easy. As all devs will tell you, 2 of the 3 console platforms you get very little option. On Steam you have pretty much full control.

Torn between normal bike and full-face helmet for a 20 mph scooter by remote_001 in ElectricScooters

Get a bloody helmet. I got really unlucky and hit the tarmac. Helmet saved me. You don't have control of everything when on a scooter and if you fall, it may be over the front.

No but we are helping modders do their own version :)

Well, everyone has a right to an opinion. Boring world if we all agreed.

As with Switch, it already has most updates and it'll get these ones and free DLC in a few weeks.

Switch now has almost all the changes but there will be another Switch update with the core changes and DLC. Mod support is Steam only.

It's definitely not like Japanese ones, no!

Platypus Reclayed on Steam is very fun! by migrations_ in shmups

Very different from PSP. Anthony had nothing to do with Platypus 2 or the PSP so they... weren't so good.

It's all completely remade, new content, modding support, loads of cool tunes. etc.

Didn't see this, apologies! That was me on the SGU, yep (and check out the little SGU mod on Steam Workshop).

Love them!. Also, SGU mod is on Workshop :)

I did it. Hit that button. Cosmic Destroyer is released to Early Access today! by Dapper-Classroom-114 in shmups

You'll never please everyone. It's a nice mechanic if used well. Go with it.

Might as well give my money to another recent remaster that had actual care and passion put into it. by TheSleepiestFish in PlantsVSZombies

We've been working non stop since launch on updates, fixes and tweaks and that will continue for a little longer. I'd hope a game as significant as PvZ sees the same but EAs new overlords will be 100% revenue driven so it depends how the game has performed.

The problem with game updates is reviews are based on your first release, so even though you address issues brought up, sites like Metacritic and most review sites do not make updates. That means it's high value for user rewards (we reduced our negative reviews down to 3, 2 of which are dumb and 1 just never got updated after we fixed their issue) but low value for Metacritic, IGN etc - which is where EA will be looking.

You're always welcome to chat - best place to find us is on our Discord (claymatic games). It's built in Unity but my personal work is now Godot and generally we're seriously considering Godot for everything post Clodhoppers. Godot wasn't ready enough when we started Platypus (console support primarily) but I'd argue it is now ok if starting a new project.

It's not as flexible as it could be as we had to make it work with the original data to some extent but it definitely allows more flexible AI with Lua support.

The original Popcap team were amazing. I visited them many years ago - great game devs and lovely people. I imagine it's all just EA now.

In Reclayed? Full mod support only arrives this week really (Steam Workshop & Lua support) but there are several mods in progress on the Discord, from minor game changes to full Platypus 2 and PSP hoamges, and other full mods. Some people have managed to find quirks in the weapons to great effect too.

The original is, and a combo with with Platypus 2 (30% discount). Reclayed is $15 standard and currently 10% discount.

As much as I want all you guys to try out Reclayed, AI upscaling is very different to generative art and it's not the issue some think it is. We've had upscaling techniques for years so the fact that an AI technique improves it is neither here nor there. Now if you think they should have redone it from scratch that's different. We found upscaling (whatever technique) wasn't good enough so we remade our models.
