Seeing as how both are from Sekai got me wondering how long will Sekai have to keep going through Greenlight.

From voting on those games I ended up looking at this collection of titles and saw some interesting ones. Mostly are already greenlit ones
Princess Blitz
8 DOORS
HIVESWAP: ACT 1
Save Our Souls: Episode I - The Absurd Hopes Of Blessed Children
The Falconers: Moonlight
Yuppie Psycho
Summer Nightmare
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles.

Oh, and The Witches Tea Party could use some votes.

I'm wondering if Microsoft is going to duck out of traditional gaming (single player experiences) at this rate. The various threads on gaming side have some scary implications for their future plans (hint, it's games as a service and lots of monetization).

But that, right now, also seems Valves approach. I mean why develop new games when you can still earn tons of money with skins, hats, glove-skins etc.

It is weird that they keep on having Sekai Project games go through Greenlight. I sorta understand if it's a title from a new developer or something, but Ebi-hime already has several self-published games on Steam, all with positive reviews to boot.

Right, I guess it explains the discrepency.


Chairmanchuck said:
I still remember when it was released and people were like: "Look. All 3 Vita titles are at 250k worldwide and here you are, with the PC port one month after relase and only at 30k. Pathetic!"

People were mad that it comes to PC instead of PS4 (at that time)...
Click to expand...



Everything's good to downplay good steam sales. Remember Danganronpa at 20k at launch. Or Zestiria's damage control "but it had a free game".

That's fair to say, yeah. Just a shame to prop up a console as Sony's rival, and try to usurp PC gaming in an effort to monetize more folks using uwp apps. That way they can be charged anywhere!

I also wish Valve made games, but Microsoft sure has upset me more than valve ever did.

Well, difference being that you don't need to rely on Valve for the production of exclusive games, they just naturally happen.

First time I play the DLC for The Divsion and I'm really liking it, only tried Underground thus far and while it's quite samey and just a way to loot more gear but I really like the mood and setting, also the music is great.
Loved first time going into the underground rave club.

I feel like Microsoft might be going for that whole ecosystem angle again, seems in line with their UWP efforts.
Like, you have a Win10 System for everything and everything works on all of them (XBox, PC, Surface,..)
I only have trouble imagining what the selling point of that ecosystem would be, because right now I'm drawing blanks.

After Far Cry Primal, i finally understands what makes some recent games looks amazing and "next-gen" - highly improved lightning and god rays. Primal uses same engine as FC4, and they mostly looked the same, but add fancy god rays and holy shit:
708DB42CADF003992252CE453B0B6D553E386C3B
Click to expand...
Gameplay is mostly identical to previous Ubisoft's Far Cry games, but environments and world in Primal is friggin amazing. It's impressive how visuals can be improved only because of better lighting. There is a lot examples in other games, Fallout 4 mostly looked like shit, animations are horrible, but add god rays, and bam:

Rise of the Tomb Raider is opposite story, characters and face animations are very impressive, but locations were mostly forgettable and tiny. But here goes lighting on ultra:

So, my point is that more devs needs to add god rays to their games.

Far Cry Primals was my first FC game, I played it last month. While I agree that it looks gorgeous, I couldn't stand the gameplay loop at all. It made DAI 10x more compelling.

Not necessarily god rays maybe but lighting is what needs to improve now we have reached the level where texture quality is pretty photorealistic in games like SWBF but lighting is still mostly identifiably fake. Prevaked lighting and shadows need to go in favor of true realtime volumetric lighting and truly high quality shadows.

man fuck that adaptive difficulty in Epistory, I do NOT type fast enough for some of the words they ramp up to, especially when you need to switch between powers. Also doesnt help that some of my keys are fucked and dont always register presses.

Yeah, he just misspoke and is referring to SteamSpy being unable to scrape data, not the pre-existing data going the way of the dodo.
Click to expand...

Yeah, that makes more sense.

Although it can still mean there's less profiles, assuming old data was still being removed, since it was not replaced with new data at all. (So in a way, data was lost)

I always tried to keep it on fire as when upgraded it would burn through additional words. Obviously that doesn't work when the game forces you to use one of the other elements.

Possibly, though I'd imagine data is replaced rather than pre-emptively removed (assuming it's replaced at all).

I bought Humble GameDev bundle and got a spare key for SpriteIlluminator

Does anyone want it? I already registered it to my email before I realized this tool is not for me. So you get an activation key for the software.

PM me if you really want it
