Replying to Rusp #rusp. vampire survivors is a rusp type game in theory but in practice i think its mid when the genre is at its best
there are a small number that I like, but yeah, I think the wave of games is really silly

the hololive one is the best one
for some reason
at its free, which inherently makes it better than 99% of them
it's a very China core genre
even though it's not Chinese in origin question mark
Vampire survivor popularized it recently, which I doubt is chinese
I know it has existed in forms before that
but that is what caused the 1000 indie games
the alicesoft one I posted is that but you can't read
3 dollars is the correcy price at least, I will give them that
this was the one I liked, which I think pre-dated Vampire Survivors by a couple months
and yeah, the hololive one is pretty good
Your fight the horde game is bedwars fighting hordes of children
I do think a 1st/3rd person game would be better
Spooky, honestly
but you can't make quick-churn indie slop if you don't make it pixel art and top-down
risk of rain 2 is 3rd/1st person vampire survivors (almost)
I think that is close, minus the fact that you can progress
you know Pika
it wasn't until you said that
but Vampire Survivors really is just a top-down horde game
that's all it is
yeah
I like the old school horde games and game modes
cod zombies, Serious sam, Killing Floor, L4D2, etc.

I hope BA gets past its steam review limbo faster than Nekopara did.

Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 Stop Killing Games has a chance again
He's still on an absolute tear, it's going to be close
~250k in the last week
Copper armor should have a 90% increased chance of being hit by lightning
its only use is suicide bombing during rain
Minecraft wyf. ...... ..

They're doing so good
They want to get the EU to regulate companies making online only games that die when they pull the servers
is the main thing
So if you are closing a game, you have to patch it to allow lan/self hosting and remove drm
is an example of one of the proposed fixes
at 1 million signatures, the EU is legally required to look into it
The things they want are straight benificial unless you are a gay furry who chose a username to ape searches for bypassing paying for things
If they get the signatures, they will get this, EU likes these kind of regulations a lot
and the proposed rule would be that you are unable to sell digital products in the EU, that do not have an end-of-life plan that leaves them functional (good faith definition)
which is really reasonable!
"hey when you shut down, release your server binaries, and if people want to they can fuck around with them"
They don't have to patch anything or release source code, nothing extreme, just a "hey you can't sell people something and then render it non-functional"
this tracker site is cool
