I always forget on weekends, so I usually just do Monday to Friday. I have one 30 day streak.
The new team has a special tool to handle the script, branching decisions and cutscenes. Maybe it only works with Unity right now?
It's going to be interesting to see what DONTNOD does with LiS 2, since Vampyr is already using UE4.
Not surprised that it's the publisher's decision.

I've been feeling the itch to play through these again, might have to give the comics a go and see if they push me to redownload them.
There are two animated movies that act as prequels to DS and DS2. Don't know if you've seen them.
The second one is pretty cool since they use different animation styles to represent different perspectives.

Has anyone tried Stranded Deep? It's in early access but it looks pretty sweet.

If the significance of a Life is Strange reference is already lost, knowing the game won't make much of a difference to taking it in.
Nice this has been on my wishlist. Gonna grab it now.

There's 2 animated movies I think. It's pretty good.

I played it for a bit when it first released, it was pretty cool, like Cast Away the game. I remember it being very similar to The Forest in terms of game play, can't speak to how it is now but I liked what little I played then.

That's surprising. I actually figured it was UE3 given how similar the visuals look to the original game, but I suppose it is an obsolete engine, after all.
LiS2 and the Namco Bandai narrative game will presumably use UE4, though, since Dontnod is already using that for Vampyr.

SOMA is on sale! I already own it but for anyone who hasn't bought it yet, this is a good deal. Looks like it's on sale on Steam for the same price, $8.99.
Oh. The code doesn't work for the deluxe
GMG then. $21.24.
Or maybe it's cheaper to buy the basic edition from Newegg and upgrade on Steam.
i think i got a month through on chrono break and then decided 10s of my every day time are worth more than saving $5
it's still the remake, just with a more confusing name
At this rate Outlast 2 will be 75% by Halloween (and then I'll buy it).
I started up Trails in the Sky: First Chapter today after having abandoned it for months, and there's some things I can't remember a thing about. First off, I see I spend points when using Arts, but what are these points and where can I see how much I got left?
And then I came across this resting station in the mine, what does this do? Does it heal me and that's it?
Also, I am in love with this game. Is there a love story in there somewhere along the way?
I see Joshua has led a secret "love life" rejecting girls and that he's popular among them, so I hope there's a love story in there somewhere in this trilogy.
I'm a sucker for love stories.

It is a text-less PnC. The character is too slow for my taste.
Arts consume EP, Crafts use CP
You do raise a good point tho, why is it named only pt there, should specify it as EP probably
What does the E and C stand for? And where do I go to see how much I got left? I can't find it anywhere in the menus. So I am left confused when I can't use any more arts and crafts huhu. I will try and look it up on google.
[edit] Energy Points. Craft Points.
Now it makes more sense since there's a Energy, Crafts and HP bar in the UI.

Nice. Absolutely loved the first.
Didn't overstay its welcome. Kept a strong pace of introducing traversal mechanics. Had a great look to it.

Any thoughts on Stories Untold? It's looks cool and it's on sale. I missed it in a previous humble bundle
After months of arguing with my ISP today i finally signed new contract for optic fiber connection. If everything goes fine i will get 100/25 connection in next 10-15 days. I had to find somebody inside company to push things forward or i would never got it.
With those speeds i will be able to stream, so it is time to get ready to make some of that sweet Twitch/YT money XD

I could be wrong haha
For some reason I thought it was in a monthly.
It was during my pre-PC days.

Very very nice. I played through the first a couple times. This looks like way more biomes, upgrades, and lore. I wonder if the lava person coming out of the chamber is the way you regenerate a la vita chambers in Bioshock.

Mindware's latest game "Heiankyo Alien 3671" is expected to hit next month
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3C6kRDTDUA
It's an arranged version of a 1979 arcade game. It implements a PACMAN CE styled system where the player has 5+ minutes to obtain as high a score as possible. Basically the player has to run around a maze, dig holes, capture aliens, and then bury them. There are numerous other factors to consider as well:
-Every few dead aliens causes the level to go up. More aliens appear and everything is worth more points.
-Seven buried treasures are hidden in each game. The only clue to their location is in the green aliens, who give off tell-tale signs when they walk over a treasure.
-There is a multiplier bonus for destroying multiple enemies without dying. Said bonus applies to pick-ups as well. Thus, grabbing the hourglass with a 9x bonus adds an extra minute and a half of time, as opposed to just ten seconds.
-Extra points are awarded for creating borders. However, green aliens can destroy them. A substantial reward is given for any and all borders left standing upon level-up.
-Power-ups
Needless to say, there's a lot going on at once, but everything starts to click after a few games.
This is, in my opinion, Mindware's best game yet. It's a thoroughly superb arcade game with a lot of depth and replay-ability. There are some randomized elements at play, but obtaining a high-score requires a good strategy.
There's also support for up to four players (local-only).
I'm not looking to be a hype-man or anything, but I've been playing this for awhile now and I'm very impressed.
