I like the idea of quicktime dialogue events like they were used in Katana Zero, even though those were not the central point of the game. Trying to convince someone a union is worth their time when they're trying to go back from their lunch break of they're in the parking lot about to go home could be treated in a similar way.

>>39437
this seems like a cartoony base building game so I'm not sure how the playstyle would translate to union organizing

>>39561
you could have different union organizing scenarios for different national situations. Being a union in the 1920s USSR must have been so much different than being a union in the 1920s USA

me and my bf had the exact same idea but also got already 2 concepts ready for both scenarios

the first game was gonna take place all over the world like XCOM and you fight a bunch of secret organizations and paranormal societies who want to claim power for themselves along an angolan secret agent sent by the "eastern bloc" who is sent to Florida and from there you have to help out allied forces through a neoliberal-fascist east coast, in from Florida to New Orleans and Memphis, full of Voodoo, latinx neonazis, thulean shi and all that edgy shi

and that was only for the first mission.

but then, for the prequel of the game i wanted it to make a more "for all ages" take, so; it takes place in an occupied island where there's an island where children are sent as part of an experiment to have kids have their own society and adults just oversee it.
so the gameplay loop is kinda like Tarkov or STALKER where there's factions of kids from different backgrounds and shi
and most of the lore to the sequel is kinda there but it's mostly implied rather than explicitly written, some sorta "history repeats itself" kinda thing, once as a tragedy, then as a farce, right?
i was mostly inspired by KND and this character i made named Heliogabalus who's a kid who's like a trans kid with no resources, so she just kinda likes to hang with girls and wear dresses and carry a nenuco baby around, but also has a revolver toy to defend herself.

same timeline but different contexts, like i said, "history repeating itself"

but like, we only got so far because whenever i pick up these proyects i get too ambitious and also i forget what my code does because i lose momentum after taking breaks from development…

Got news on when the final Rogue Trader DLC is comming, end of year. Give it three more months for followup patches, half a year unil I can finally play it.

such a good game; accidentally put 24 hours into it and i only feel like I scratched the surface. Trying to go full iconoclast.

>>48190
I want to go full heretic. Although from what I heard heretic includes the standard selfish evil choices, which I dont find very fun or interesting.

Tau politic is Jim Crow on steroid.
All are equal under the Tau, as servile cattle for the upper class, which is servile the the ehterals.

>>48191
Guess what, you can. Demons literally invite you to join them to gain power. They are just like that, giving free power against nothing in return. What could possibly go wrong?

>>48149
It does not make sense because Tyranids create a void in the warp, they are psy poison to empyreans, basicaly a race of blanks.

>>48195
wrong the tau are a parody of feudalism not slavery. it's a caste system not a slave system.

>>48175
shan't be buying, sir. I shan't. porky might like it though, it gives him something to burn 400 dollars on that isn't socialism. porky would rather buy baubles like this than give you universal healthcare.

>>48178
>it actually doesn't, believe it or not!!!
lmfaoo

>>48175
At that price Lucia better come out of the screen and give me a sloppy toppy.

>>48166
>san andreas for example was made in 2004 but set in 1994
1992*

>>48171
>These games take so long to make that all the music, humor and pop culture references in GTAVI makes it feel like a mid 2010s period piece despite it supposedly being set in 2026.
yeah this. i thought the same thing

Excuse me, purging all reactionary regimes from the planet as the FES is very amusing I'll have you know

>>48150
Even though it is going downhill for years, TNO is my favourite mod primarily because the althist scenario is very interesting and they had done a good job on immersion and athmosphere, felt it especially when i did start the mod when there were still Atlantropa, Ordenstaat Burgund and stuff

>>48196
Every single country in that game is reactionary tho

>>48198
That…is just factually untrue. I dunno what else to tell you.

>>48182
Also I would like to add that opening cinematic is so much shittier in remake.

>>48182
> To be fair I am running it on Linux through Lutris
You can switch the proton/wine layer with protonup-qt or whatever and try with one of the glorious eggroll branches and see how that works. Probably the difference will be minimal, on demand shader compilation in UE5 is so incredibly shit and makes everything stutter

Restarted Gothic Remake playthrough. Didnt even try to fight anything this time, just running past enemies on my way to Old Camp. It got way too dark before I reached it, and didnt want to risk bumping into something that could one-shot me, so I had to go AFK at a small hunting camp with two hunters in it, waiting until dawn so I could see properly. At the gate I couldnt help myself but to pick the snarky dialogue option with a guard, who attacked me. I tried running away, but got stuck on world geometry or something, character stopped running, and got knocked out and robbed. Lost all of my starting capital and weapons. Later broke my lockpick trying to understand how lockpicking system works. Met an NPC named Mud, who is supposed to be an annoying guy who keeps hanging around you, accidently got him murdered by scavengers when I ventured to explore surrounding wildness.
So my plan right now is to steal what I can, so that I save enough for learning lockpicking skill and some lockpicks, and then rob everyone blind. Might have to first go to Swamp Camp, not sure if there is enough for me to steal in Old Camp right now.

And I am done with my Gothic playthrough. Got murdered by NPC. I dont know why, they should beat you up and loot your stuff, but this random digger just decided to murder me.

Played For the Fatherland: Chronicle of Park Chung-hee, legit good, better than all the Ostalgie games IMO, very reminiscent of TNO.

No gameplay vids? It's a worse version of the StarCaft Ghost trailer but people will drool because graphics.

>>48160
Its actually good cinematic trailer. Blizzard used to have reputation for those, I guess people are pleasantly suprised they managed to make something nice after over a decade of garbage that looks straight out of Korean MMO.

>>48160
I learned long ago not to trust blizzard with anything that isn't out yet

>>48161
Blizzard is a sick social experiment in a studio trying to stay alive on their trailer game alone

>>48170
Call of Duty and Diablo alone will keep Blizzard going until the heat death of the universe. Blizzdrones slurp up any slop that's on offer from those those franchises.

>>47877 (me, posting again about that game because I'm a masochist)
MJ is a character that when crouching is invulnerable to many crouch attacks. But don't worry, everybody has some attacks that work on her lol. Everybody has an overhead and the overhead is… your throw move. Optically this doesn't make sense of course, but gameplay-wise this is actually better than not having an overhead. Blazing Strike is really a 3/10 game that could be a 7/10 with some simple bug fixes. As it is, it feels like a Mugen title and sadly the dev is busy working on the next game instead of fixing this (and his reputation).

Done.

I like Bloody Roar

Is there actually a single 2D fighting game out there with silhouette-based collision detection? I know 16-bit games of any genre have rectangular boxes all oriented in the same way because of technical limitations, modern games still have those because it's considered good enough and it's tradition.

I suppose with hand-drawn animation frames one can argue that collision zones must exceed the silhouette areas because of implied movement between animation frames. But for 2D gameplay with polygonal graphics and fluid movement this is not an issue. And even with hand-drawn 2D animation with big gaps between frames, more accurate collision detection could be done by computing invisible morph frames with corresponding collision data. The question is: Is there a point to this extra effort, would players even feel the difference? Maybe I was a stupid kid, but back then I did not notice that everything on the SNES was really a rectangle.

Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes - Played through this with each of the 23 characters + 1 unlockable boss (launch version sans DLC and balance patches) and I still don't know what the title means. It's fighting in anime style (not cel-shaded polygons, big sprites!), so you got more movement options than a 90s fighting game and everybody got some normal attacks that look like specials or even super moves of a 90s fighting game. You gotta catch your opponent somehow when they are dashing around, so these two gameplay aspects logically go together.

The confusing story is told (or rather alluded to) in the arcade mode's cut-scenes in visual-novel style, fully voiced, with. A lot. Of. Dramatic. Pauses. (I like the voices, especially during fights: The humming of Phonon, Wagner sometimes saying SCHEISSE when hit.) You get thrown into a bigger story that is nearing its end. I read that the prior iteration did have a non-interactive story mode with hours of VN content. Couldn't they have cobbled together a recap for newbies? Hrmpf. Night in Tokyo, opening to another dimension, evil guy tries to bring on the apocalypse. It's all very serious and mature, except for all the anime uwu humor (which I'm mostly OK with) and the guest character from another game who is aware she is a guest character from another game (bit too much for my taste).

All our beloved anime tropes are there: woman with big breasts, pretty boy with wig made of a slain Pikachu etc. The characters not only look diverse from cute to monstrous, there is also much variety in how they feel to play. Chaos controls a beast, Merkava can fly, Carmine has attacks that drain his own life (very cool).

The controls are 3 buttons for light/mid/strong attack + special button for various things (throws, shield, extra movement options, super move). Specials are easy to do Hadoken inputs (and quite often the result is a projectile) and Dragon Punch inputs (and quite often the result is a DP). Except for Vatista, the charge character. Down, down + button is another common input for specials. Holding a button for a bit can also have an effect (Mika hard punch deals more damage, Eltnum angles her shots). You got an ex meter to buff your strong specials. You can pause and look at a list of your specials, which also displays if they got ex properties, if you can do them in the air, and if they have specific follow-up moves. YPost too long.

Yes nerdy hobbyists will spend hours making video games in their free time, but will they go tile roofs or work in a slaughterhouse for fun?

>>48137
>work in a slaughterhouse
dont wanna come across as vEgAn but lowkey no one should be doing that

>>48137
I'd do some roofing for fun ngl.

>>48137
>work in a slaughterhouse for fun
