games

If nothing else, I appreciate that the dev actually optimized filesize for his game

the game runs internally at like 360p resolution and gets upscaled

Visuals is the one thing I had zero conplaints for

A lesser dev would've had that game at 1GB or something retarded

instead of the <50mb it was

i listened to an interview from the dev and he said that because he wrote the game from scratch he was able to make the entire input->render loop take only one frame so it has lower latency that would be possible in a typical engine, so its more than just code size optimization

based

in that interview he predicted quick sub-30 minute speedruns, and the any% is already sub 3:30 because of the wrong warps

Thought so

metroid prime is now an in development archipelago game

I'd be interested in trying that

Tenatively I am defending either June 27th or 28th, so I should have about 1.5 months to just relax and do fun group gaming things

We'll have to get Kaze to rejoin to play with us, he mentioned he'd be interested when I talked with him

by whatever faked method my youtube addon made it up with

that UI is literally just roblox

copilot is going to tell the kids to go steal mom's credit card and spend $6 on a monetized mod

the ad on uses the data from the people who use it and extrapolates

at least thats what I've heard

so it probably skews higher towards dislikes (since only people who would dislike probably use the add on)

😦 🔫

yeah, game is cooked

I have no idea why valve is making this

this is the valve overwatch game right

if you didn't hear Max loredump, this is/was Icefrog's personal project

the fact it's progressing towards release though, after multiple group-up redesigns

is kinda insane

interesting

a lot of my issue isn't even the genre or 3rd person perspective, I'm open ot those working

but the style of the game feels dated af

seeing the animations

everything from the visuals, the core game concepts, the gameplay designs with skills, team size

i think the designs are set in stone

^

Valve's art direction in modern Dota, Underlords, Artifact, etc.

has been terrible

I agree

compare early dota characters to recent ones (excluding TV show tie-ins)

i like the mexican.

i like primal beast

i like most of those new ones

opinion invalidated

idk how to describe my issue with newer designs

theyre not units from a 2000s computer game?

I feel like there are these base template characters they use, that they then slap key design elements on

"this model will wear a hood"

"this model will havea crown"

do you think thats just becuase

they want to sell skins

a lot of the old dota units

dont have skins

like literally have one skin

honestly maybe

because they cant come up with anything

def easier to design skind for

even primal beast, one of the newer heroees and one of my favorite visually

has two

and just got one recently

and he was good in pro games for a while

but yeah, this new game, even if they polish these characters

they don't inspire much in the way of deisgn

its its free I'll try it at launch

I want to try it

but I do not suspect it will be a long lasting phijkchu game

I want a dev like valve to bring something new if they're coming out with game in a saturated genre like this

not just "it's our spin on the same generic slop" done in a generic slop-like style

but yeah, hopefully closed alpha this year, beta soon after

Hopefully it is at least tribes 3 fun to play together once

did you see the price they slapped on that Pika

$20

for the same # of maps/content
