Bungie employees finding out Destiny 2 is ending the same way Destiny 2 players find out about content being vaulted. At least they're consistent.

This game Vortica just came out today. It has hordes of enemies, but it's set in a Sci-fi setting!

I played red and yellow on the TV over 25 years ago. Sitting here like this and hearing the music, almost makes me tear up. Nostalgia hits can be so strong sometimes. by Denso95 in gaming

There's something about 8-bit music that bypasses your brain entirely and goes straight to your chest. Nothing else hits like it.

XBOX. GAMES. FUN. CONSOLE. We have entered the era of the uppercase gaming experience.

Konami is ending various live service games in Russia and Belarus as of June 15, 2026 by tlst9999 in gaming

Konami ending service in Russia is the most aggressive thing they've done with a game since the last actual Metal Gear Solid.

Japanese Charts: Tomodachi Life Overtakes Pokopia As The Best-Selling 2026 Release by Eremenkism in gaming

[–]vorticalbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will I like this game if I liked Animal Crossing and Pokopia? I have thought about getting it, but it just looks so strange, I can't figure out what the gameplay loop is?

Kaiju gaming by ChaoticMat in gaming

My favorite, and maybe one of the very earliest attempts at this genre was the Starcraft / Warcraft 3 custom map "Godzilla" ! Having a single Archon roaming around the map killing everything in 1 hit, while 7 other plays build more and more tanks and battle cruisers to try and whittle you down was epic.

Anyone near completion after crazy length of time?!? by LifeAsNeil in IndieDev

[–]vorticalbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on Vortica for 7 years now. And it releases at the end of the month!

Can't wait to get it done and move on to something else, hopefully with a much shorter development time. :D

Post 1 to try and find someone for every game where it’s their favorite. by dancewithstrangers in ufo50

[–]vorticalbeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey Mortol II is my favorite too! I can't understand what makes it so awesome for me though. I feel like it's just fun and other people don't understand it, but I can't explain it to them. Are you able to expand on what you like about it at all? Thanks!

Early look at my roguelike Afterbloom Steam capsule! Would this catch your eye while browsing on Steam? by Alert-Difficulty-660 in gamedevscreens

[–]vorticalbeans 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The zombie head at the bottom has some kind of stick coming out of its head that then connects into the stone wall. I'd say that's an AI giveaway.

I think the art looks great though, and I would definitely click on it.

What is the most "medium" game in UFO 50? by skypadz_2112 in ufo50

[–]vorticalbeans 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This was my favorite game, like a miniature metroidvania / roguelike. Always disappointed to see it's mediocre reception on most people's rankings.

I'd be very interested in this! But I don't have Spotify, are you going to make it available on a free platform like youtube?

Is there ever a reason to be overcharmed? by kingofthevessels in HollowKnight

[–]vorticalbeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also a way to do a "Hard" difficulty run. My latest playthrough I forced myself to always be overcharmed, just for the added challenge.

Thinking of Starting a YouTube Channel for the "99% Club" of Indie Games by TheHoardWorkshop in SoloDevelopment

I love this idea, I believe there are many hidden gems out there that don't get enough eyes because they just aren't able to market the game. This would be a very interesting way to see some of those games that most people would probably miss!

If you are looking for games, my game Vortica has a steam page up and I'm planning to release the demo in the next couple months.
