Not sure if you're sarcastic but it's the starting point of the Three body problem.
We did a couch coop game (CTHULOOT) and the number 1 refund reason we have is that it doesn’t have online. (It doesn’t because we lacked budget) So I’d say players now really expect online over local.

Yes! Switch version is in QA so we hope it will only be few months away from PC release.

Too many useless AI features in the last version of Filmora, the user experience is really degraded now.

Working on a new game with some friends: CTHULOOT, a multiplayer coop game. Imagine Overcooked x Zelda 2D. We have a demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2283410/CTHULOOT/

BulletML is also used in some more recent Unity3D games like Steredenn

Hello! I’ve been working on the game for few months now. It’s a coop arcade game where your play a band of (bad) thieves on behalf of Cthulhu. It’s designed to be easy to play, fun, family friendly. You can grab the demo on Steam and test the 1h content. And/or wishlist if you like the game.

Thanks a lot <3

Unity was chosen because I am a C# guy coming from XNA, and Monogame was super rough at that time. Also it allowed us to really focus on the gameplay and not too much and the engine, while having access to all consoles. We still had a lot of headaches with it… Now I’m considering switching to something but I’m glad I had that experience on a mainstream and fully documented engine.

Best of luck with your game, if you need advices send me an email via the Steredenn or Flipon contact address.

Flat eye (PC) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1358840/Flat_Eye/

A video game about technology and its impact on our lives. Very inspired by stories from here.

I make videogames for a living:

- Flipon (https://flipon.net) an arcade puzzle/match-3 inspired by Tetris attack on PC mobiles and switch

- Steredenn (https://Steredenn.pixelnest.io) a roguelike shoot them up, pc, iOS, switch.

I’ve been lucky to have an extra income with those two games for a few year.

Hello, interesting model. I’m an indie gamedev and I could be interested for my games. You can contact me at dam [at] dmayance [dot] com.
Re:A Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Trigger Warnings on Friday November 25, 2022 @03:09PM (#33746263)
This comes right after the release of our game Flat Eye [0], which includes a quite new Content Warning system.

So far players really likes the fact that the system exists and that they can choose to skip or see the content. It's all about being warned anf having the choice.

I’ve released my game Flipon https://flipon.net end of 2020 and while it’s not a huge success, it’s still quite a consistent flow of income (300-500€).

Doesn’t require much maintenance, maybe some new content soon.

Interesting, I will give it a try.

It reminds me Gladiabots (https://store.steampowered.com/app/871930/GLADIABOTS__AI_Com...), but the target audience is not the same.

Good time to recommend the game Night Call if you like the peculiar atmosphere of a big city at night from a taxi driver perspective.

This is one letter swap from something very popular but completely different…
Nice work!

Had the same issue for the second kid and came to the same conclusion I needed an app for that.

I never shared it but I’m happy with my “trouve prénom” French only site, based on INSEE names statistics.

Thanks a lot! <3
