<Look inside
>Thinly veiled power fantasy treadmill
>Gameplay's trivial or an outright grindy chore but there's tons of UPGRADES and UNLOCKS
>Everytime you get an upgrade you feel you've gotten better and get a small dopamine hit motivating you to grind for the next upgrade which makes it easier to grind for the next tier
>Upgrades eventually trivialize key game mechanics
>Key content is locked behind unlock chores which don't add anything mechanically but create another impression of "progress" (no you can't just have fun and play the way you want you HAVE to do your chores first!)
>God fucking forbid devs stick to simple milestones and challenges
>Roleplaying in your Roleplaying Game? Wrong. The point's the power treadmill, roleplaying's secondary
>Only genres generally immune to this are engineering/puzzle and simulation games
Anyway post games that DON'T do this

so i have a shitty intel integrated graphics office laptop, it can barely run csgo, minecraft and gta 5, but i somehow i managed to beat crysis on it at 120 fps at 1080p

Where find ? I have a dedicated slackware gaming sewtup.

please be nice 2 me

A phenomenon I have witnessed

I don’t even have to explain how it weird for people like shartyfags to like a violently beautiful lady😍🥰ed out game like deltarune

Is this something that shartyfags just like to do? I’ve also seen it strangely with TADC as well, not that I care even a little for that shit

How ever so peculiar

Post in this thread every time you play a new game and rate it, I'll start, currently playing Dread Dawn, pretty jank and honestly not that good but I'm desperate for more zombie games to wait until PZ 42 comes out. 6/10.

New Gamedev thread. This is thread is only for people who have deved something. Don't post in this thread if you're just an idea bro who has never deved anything in their life.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.

Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.

So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

What happened to call of duty, it kinda became opposite of what it used to be. The games feel completely bloated now and they completely lost that original, classic identity that made the older titles so good.

What is it with remakes/remasters absolutely ruining the old artstyle?

I was kind of intending this thread to be a storehouse of replies for

<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?

where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.

For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.

Then there's also Tamriel Reborn that seems like it isn't just a remake of the original, but actually expands on the original Morrowind, I guess to add back in all of the content that had to be cut. Apparently they've been going at it since 2001.

Then there's DOOM, which has just had an insane amount of work done on it and with it since it was released. It's actually pretty amazing to see what people are capable of doing with it after so long.

the new call of duty for example, why do people keep buying these capitalist garbage that glorifies war and paints the US as the good guys and everyone else as ~the bad ones~
