Gaming

It didn't exist, so i made one!

This is a niche of games with an incremental mechanism. Also known as idle games, or clicker games. Most of these are played through web or mobile, so no powerful graphics card needed, though there are some good ones available through Steam or other more traditional gaming platforms too.

From the developer:

Thank you so much!! :) It was my dream idea to make a game like that, we are trying our best to make it good.

Edit: For all that were asking, the game is a single player story adventure game. It's called Moon Mystery. Our main inspirations are Firewatch (story telling), Half life 2 (gameplay, variety of vehicles) and the movie Interstellar (idea, art).

The demo is out for free right now, if you want to play it or read some more about the game here is the link, thank you :)

Hi I created new sub/community for iOS Gaming https://lemmy.ml/c/iosgaming

I recently beat the first boss and am having a good time so far. I find the dodge a bit clunky, but it seems like the game is trying to push you more towards blocking (and perfect blocking).

Overall, I love the fact that a demo for this game exists and that it feels quite polished!

Quite entertaining, if you ask me.

I created GOG community https://lemmy.world/c/gog

I got a quick update tonight and now I'm crashing about every 5 min. It usually happens when a transition is happening - opening a map, teleporting, etc. Am I the only one?

I'm on V1.0.2.42338

For around a half year, I try to locate games that don't fit within the "market" and - if I find them to be good - review them on my Blog.

I came to believe that there are many interesting works that struggle from a lack of attention. It is my believe that it would be worth to attempt to unite the different non commercial gaming communities and the various "lone wolfs" into a (at least loosely) connected, defined scene to allow mutual feedback, help, and allow us to detect each other among the zero-effort-projects and commercial players.

My idea is to establish the term Underground Game for such non-commercial games; the corresponding scene should be close to the free software/open source movement, and - so my idea - be open towards leftist politics but shut out right wing bigots for various reasons.

Here you'll find a manifesto I created, if you want to dive in further (no ads, no tracking, no placed content - the blog is strictly uncommercial, so i hope this is okay - putting the whole wall of text here wouldn't be practical): https://thunderperfectwitchcraft.org/arcane_cache/2023/06/08/underground-games/

Right now, I'm druming in various smaller game dev communities and on mastodon. Would you have interest in partaking in such a community? What would be the right medium for a common channel in your opinion?

Greetings Valentin
