Which is what everyone with some sense predicted, except Xitter exploded into drama from faking proof that it was directly copying Pokémon to claiming wild things like using gen AI to create the models.

These things are easily verified (or rather, debunked), but it was already too late. I lost a lot of faith in some gaming journalists as they kept perpetuating the wild takes and claims.

We’ll do this all again soon with another game and we will not learn from it.

Slang words that are being subtitled wrong because the locale automatically sets to English (international) instead of English (UK) for a lot of players.

It’s in the article if you bothered to read it

What the fuck why did nobody try this sooner??

Care to elaborate what makes it so special? I’m intrigued and I never really play licensed games because they are usually trash

Nah, you can’t patent gameplay mechanics unless they are super specific and interconnected.

Taking what’s good from other games and turning it into something new (or similar) is known as remixing and it happens all the time. Like mentioned in another comment, Palworld did this by taking the fun elements of different genres / vibes (Pokémon, Survival games, Shooters) and making that into a game.

Even the Pokémon Company had to put a statement out basically telling the Xitter drama seekers to shut up and stop reporting the game for infringement, because there wasn’t any.

Just make sure (like you already mention) not to use assets, sounds, names and other IP related subjects.

I’m glad they finally added directly beaming them to your smartphone.

Well, directly is a stretch. But at least the direct WiFi method means I didn’t have to use a throwaway twitter account anymore to transfer my screenshots and video captures without removing the SD card.

Good to know, thanks. I’ll keep to the actual board game

Who’s going to buy this when it’s on subscription services like XGP and EA Play?

The game might be revolutionary and I will still pass. Somewhere between ruining franchises and turning them into open world Ubisoup games, publishing “AAAA” games, sexual harassment by executives, and more, I have lost all interest.

One of my favorites sadly didn’t make it because of too much water. Hoping to salvage it and start over

What features would Godot need for you to feel like it could replace UE?

The perfect timing would have been at the show’s release, but we both know it would have been an even bigger broken mess than whatever this turns into.

Keyword being “next-gen”

Does Steam on Linux offer the same controller settings? You can basically map gamepad buttons to any action of the keyboard / mouse and save it as a layout that will be activated each time you launch the game.

It’s not true adverts like we are used to. This is the blog post from last month:

Quests are a way for players to discover games and earn rewards for playing them on Discord. We started experimenting with them over the last year, and millions of you opted in and completed them. We’ve heard great feedback from developers who partnered with us to create them and from many of you who completed one. If you didn’t see firsthand, the “May the 4th” Fortnite Quest is a great example. Now, we’re opening up sponsored Quests to more game developers.

Quests will show up tastefully in Discord where you can opt-in to stream your game to friends and win rewards for playing. Some players will be made aware that a Quest is available, while others will discover it as their friends accept and embark on the Quest. Developers and publishers who sponsor Quests will work with our team to build an experience that showcases their game and offers a reward tailored for their game.

“tastefully”, lol. That’s for the users to decide.

I’m not very creative with names but lmk when you have something public. This minigame was so much fun!

What does tracking have to do with it? It’s a limiter. It limits the speed electronically.

Or do you just want to use the magic words ‘government bad’ so you can excuse fucking over other traffic?

Good. Fuck speeders and their carelessness.

The dog assisted run is a novel idea. I’m tuning in for that Tuesday. Seeing Tunic was fun as someone who completed the game, but I can imagine if you’ve never played the game you have little time to process what’s happening sometimes. The strats are insane!

Halo: CE seems like a fun nostalgic romp, and the Eldin Ring vs Sekiro session seems interesting too.
