Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Came across this video critiquing the gameplay of some out of the sheer number of "cozy" games coming out recently.

Wondering what everyone's opinions are on cozy games. Do you feel the same or do you have differing opinions on them?

Well, I'm making one so i guess i can't say they suck. I do feel like a lot of them aren't great games, though. As in, they create a good vibe but they often lack solid gameplay. I think the writing in some I've played leans far too much into awkward and insecure characterizations too, and that gets tiring for me quickly. I'm trying to avoid those pitfalls in mine.

Any link/info on your game? I’m down for a cozy game with a bit more core gameplay

Hopefully it involves parachuting dogs

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago

It doesn't, but it does have a pig-based sliding puzzle. 🐖 i posted the demo on the comment you replied to if you're curious.

Thanks for the interest! I only have a short demo and trailer up so far but would love to hear what you think. 😄

I really like what i saw in the trailer! I'll try the demo later today if i don't forget haha. Keep it up! 😁

Thanks for the kind words. Means a lot for an unknown solo dev like myself. 🙏

That looks really cool. It will help me live out my fantasy of having a handful of ants in my pocket that I can deploy at any moment.

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

You can also get a jar of bees! Thanks for the kind words. :)

[–] vladmech@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This looks fun! Going to have to check that demo out when I get home.
