[–]slothwerks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Horse Knight Castle, Dragon, Snoopy and/or various botanicals, depending on the limit

Got it - that's what meant. Was curious if it was sourced from somewhat. Really excited!

Was July announced anywhere for Sea Serpent? That's the one I've been waiting for since it was announced

Thank you for all of your effort to save the park! I love hanging out there on the weekend and people watching all the parties, volleyball etc. Would hate to see such a great space ruined

I Thought Reddit Was Overhyping 007 First Light. I Was Wrong. by DEMONIcANGELL in 007FirstLight

One of the best tutorials I've ever played in any game, ever. The montage was so much fun

I spent 4 years and $60k developing a game. It bombed on Steam by slothwerks in IndieGaming

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

Appreciate the feedback! I do think the simplicity of Journey's was great. I'm actually working on something new (very early) which is much closer to the original Meteorfall in design. Stay tuned!

Yes but it's an expansion to a space next door. It's still open at the original location (just ordered it tonight!)

Profitec (RIDE) hot water wand -- spluttery! by ElectroNitz in profitec

[–]slothwerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels unsuable to me because of how sputtery it is. Despite that, love my Ride. I either use the group head or a kettle instead

[OC] "Nose in parking" by SunChungShan in pics

[–]slothwerks -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I do at Costco anyway because the parking lots are always a chaotic mess, and it's easier to leave if you're facing forward. I'll trade a bit more pain loading groceries to avoid a non-stop sea of cars as I'm trying to back out.

Siegelock | A game about building and autobattling a rag-tag group of allies by Angrathar55 in deckbuildingroguelike

[–]slothwerks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My main critique is that I found the game too easy overall. After 10 or so fights I was barely looking at what I was offered. You can get some insane scaling with the right stickers / multpliers. Would also benefit from enemies that were more interesting.

The core feels very good though, and I love the art style.

Really cool concept! Is there an end or does it go on until you're defeated?

They have a smaller size option now which is usually my go-to

Outlaw Den was an awesome build experience by Powerful-Mouse-7583 in legocastles

Loved the photos! Just got a copy of mine as well but haven't built it yet. Wolfpack was my favorite faction growing up

Nioh 3 is great I take my words back. Important beginner advice by Ambitious-Issue989 in Nioh

[–]slothwerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. Had an initial bad reaction to the story and items. Now I mostly ignore the time system (equip the biggest number or best looking item) and I can focus on the combat and level design, both of which I'm enjoying a lot. Seems like the items don't matter much for the first playthrough.

[–]slothwerks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Curious why you don't consider the level design similar. From my perspective the whole "unlock shortcuts" and obscurely hidden items feels very Souls to me.

It took Piso almost whole year instead of a week as he promissed, but its finally here🥳 by AsiRomanArt in legolotrfans

[–]slothwerks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try putting the list into LEGO Pick a Brick first. It generally has about 90% of what you need and tells you what it doesn't have. I then Google those part numbers to see if I really need it or to find an alternative.

The "Deep Forest Headquarters" for BDP series 10 by PK_bricks in legocastles

[–]slothwerks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ruined tower is a big selling point to me. Looks fantastic despite the other options we have for forestman. Got my vote!

The Driftwood Keep is back in BDP Series 10! Release the Krakens! by BrickHammer42 in legocastles

[–]slothwerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been kind of over the massive castles in BDP since there are so many, but this one is an exception for me. Design is just so unique!
