    Game News Swordhaven Kickstarter Approaches Final Stretch

    I don't like games depending on the real world date either (if that's even the case here) but for single player games you can usually at least change your system clock (or just lie to the game process abut what time it is) so it's not a big problem.

    Vapourware Codexian Game Development Thread

    Both crisp nu-pixel art and CRT-filtered pixels can be great looking art styles but it takes more than slapping on a shader to go from one to the other. Art that is intended to be displayed on a CRT-like display (real or simulated) needs to take into account of the resulting blending between...

    Anime Your Unpopular Gaming Opinions

    Arx Fatalis' rune recognition works by converting your mouse input (a sequence of points) to a series of directions (left, right, up, down, as well as 45 degree rotated diagonals of those). Then those directions are matched to runes using a fixed list of direction sequences for each rune. If...

    Decline The state of physical gaming libraries

    Which one is that? There was IndieBox but iirc they stopped making new boxes and are just selling the remaining stock now. They were also really trying to push a subscription model which never made sense to me - who the fuck wants physical boxes that take up real space of random games rather...

    NSFW Best Thread Ever [No SJW-related posts allowed]

    Pretty sure "space particles" has always been a humorous euphemism for random bit flips even if most of them probably have more benign causes - at least that's how my Uni professors used it. There was one time where I got a couple of surprise ECC errors on my PC and later found out that there...

    GOG.com

    One was when they tried to get away with refunding the steam dick deposit to my steam wallet instead of the original payment method and I told them that that would not fly. The other one was for repeatedly filing refund requests for one game until someone with the authority do do anything other...

    GOG.com

    Interesting - even more reason to save standalone installers instead of relying on Galaxy. From recommendations on prestigious internet forums. Or other places where you can interact with real human beings instead of algorithms and influencers. To be honest I don't really follow what is being...

    GOG.com

    I had keys revoked on Steam. There were for beta versions of shitty Kickstarter games that I don't really care about so I'm not too bothered about it but clearly valve has already built the functionality and is willing to use it under the right circumstances. Its only a matter of time until...

    The Valve and Steam Platform Discussion Thread

    Sad to see one incentive for exiting EA in a reasonable time removed but the Advanced Access part is the more concerning change IMO. Valve now fully embracing the paying beta tester model.

    Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    So the biggest "problem" is that they screw over console NPCs? Good, those who buy into locked down platforms get what they deserve. (The toolset was always hard-coded windows UI widgets and also was never included in the Linux port even back when NwN was one of the few commercial games with a...
