Iittala Taika-mug! Customer has a nice taste!

Pokemon finally makes battle focused game.

(Implying with this meme that Pokemon has now reason to takedown Pokemon Showdown not that it would be better version if it)

Not all games are for everyone. I think big issue is specially if many people think that game is masterpiece it will be even harder to enjoy the game because you will feel the pressure from the people.

Stardew Valley (like other farming games) is just grinding simulator so it is imo really easy not to like it. Some people find watering plant relaxing and some people find it tedious.

Looks like weird bug. It has different thumbnail on Mastodon, but it links to this post correctly. Here is link to Mastodon post: https://feddit.nl/post/52370698

For Godot specifically there is TerraBrush, that could fit your needs. https://github.com/spimort/TerraBrush

Yeah, now begins the hard part. Demo+steam next fest is usually the biggest boost for wishlists, but this should be closed to the release. Emails, social media posts are helpful. The game itself usually defines how to best market the game. Go watch videos by Chris Zukowski for example this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQBdIGaZROE

I replaced Discord(and Whatsapp) with Matrix/Element as voice chat (and general chat) with my wife. I remember running it with Docker was bit annoying to set up (I was selfhosting beginner when first doing it now it could be easier), but with Yunohost it is one click install (if you are willing with swap operating server).

Nextcloud Talk could work for your needs, but I have not personally used it so hard to recommend it.

Well this is silly :D. It has been while since I played Palia, but I also remember when “cake parties” was way to grind money.

I am mixed between “Wow! Ten years already” and “Only ten years old, it feels like it has been out for ever”. I am always amazed that it is still receiving updates. ConcernedApe is always developer I look up to and admire. He didn’t let the fame and success affect him and still just casually keeps developing games.

I played it when it was in closed beta. And as a fan of Overwatch and previous LoL player, Deadlock was super fun to play. But combination of high mechanical requirement and knowledge requirement it is hard to enjoy the game as casual peopler. Thank god now there is light version of Deadlock as Overwatch Stadium.

Deadlock. As a parent and full time worker I don’t have time to commit to a new live service multiplayer. It would be amazing to be a teenager or student again and just grind that game as nolife.

Wow is kinda similar. Housing update seems like fun thing that they finally added but no way I have time to play wow.

“Clickable files in the Output panel”. OMG thank you finally. This was so annoying.

Here is list of some games that I enjoyed playing with my wife:

One of my favorite recent games were: Ale and Tale Tavern and RV there yet.

Here is list of other game I have played (+ or - if I recommend it). These were all I found in my Steam Library.

Interesting to see Split Fiction there. Kinda fun idea to speedrun CO-OP game.

Wow, that’s great to hear!

My vote also goes for Godot. Godot is the “new Unity” and it has a lot of resources to help beginners get started. It is free so you can try it with no worries and take some other option if you don’t like it. But if you are just starting game development there is “no wrong answer”. You should just select one engine and try to finish a game with it.

I am stealing this name for my next game.

I personally use Matrix for this. Artyom kinda summarizes issues of all chats pretty well. If you use Yunohost installing Matrix is at least easy. Matrix/Element is good enough and even my non tech wife is able to use it.

Same I almost got locked out from my Ghost account because of email 2FA. Luckily you could change the config to override it.

Same annoying was with Mastodon, but luckily as admin you can approve accounts to override the email confirmation.

Started playing “RV there yet” with my wife and we were laughing out loud how silly the game is.
