Just finished the Edge of Memories demo, by @EOSeries @MidgarStudio , positively surprised. I'll have to recover Edge of Eternity now 😂 Some thoughts/feedback (most of what I mention you can see in the clip below) : 🟢 I liked the premise/theme and characters. 🟢 I really liked how expressive they were during cutscenes, props to the animators and director. 🟢 I liked how the combat seemed to evolve in a good direction as I leveled up more. 🟢 I liked (more so wasn't expecting) the dark twist the story took, real quick 😂 🟢 Seems to have decent enemy variety, if I'm to base myself just on the demo alone. 🟢 Game ran really well, no performance issues on my end. 🟡 Speaking of their expressiveness, I liked it so much, that it was a real bummer to see them not have any mouth movements/lip syncing during standard dialogues, outside of cutscenes. I can understand budget limitations, and they did retain some level of body movements, but I would like to see at least some basic mouth animations in dialogue. It's not a major deal breaker to me, though. 🟡 Combat wasn't bad, but it lacked some impact feedback and could use some camera adjustments. Not sure I was a fan of the target lock switching based on my camera direction. Controller vibration wasn't working initially, but it turned on after I went through a few maps, which made combat "feel" better - that is not something that can be obtained on M&K though, so it could still use some improvements in that regard. 🟡 Dialogues could use an autoplay button and a history log option, in case you want to re-read something. 🔴 I encountered some major bugs in the settings menu and game graphics: - Moving the brightness slider up would send the menu into a confirmation loop, forcing me to alt-f4 the game. - The game automatically kept trying to apply a white-washed sort of palette, almost as if it was trying to kick of an HDR feature, which I have disabled in windows. Whenever I managed to remove it, it would turn back after a cutscene or two. - During exploration, the game felt "blurry", as if everything was being rendered at a lower resolution than my monitor, and after testing all the settings I couldn't find anything that would fix that. (I was always using DLAA/Native, tried every upscaler option) And that would be all, hope you'll find the feedback useful, I wishlisted the game and I would recommend any action RPG/JRPG fan to check it out. #SteamNextFest #indiegame #indiedev

Been having serious difficulty sorting through all the AI stuff in this #steamnextfest. If you're an #indiedev (or any dev really) and want me to check your game out, please let me know below 👇

Holy shit, where were they hiding this game! I'm all down for a competitor to Cyberpunk, and this looks good too! (fingers crossed) youtu.be/REpS6Qmxzz8?si=CTbr…

It might be early, but after the fantastic job they did with Gothic Remake, I want to break a spear in favor of @AlkimiaGameDev Let them cook, we'll see. Also, let's not forget @OwlcatGames exists (bugs and all, still 😂) 5 devs I'm willing to bet on, for now.

Some game devs want to make the game of their vision/dream. Some game devs will make the game they are told to make. Some games will sell, some games won't. Like with any product, not everything has a customer base. Coming up with a new product is always a gamble. I don't believe it's deeper than that.

Geralt of Rivia did not survive the world of #GothicRemake Witcher 3 DLC cancelled 😂

"Exploration in this game sucks" I have read such comments from "players", it really made me wonder what kind of games they usually play. Here's 3 random landmarks to explore I came across last night, next to each other, in less than a minute. #Gothic #GothicRemake

It was at this moment he knew... he F up 🫠 #Gothic #GothicRemake

Gotta give it to the people @SilverPinesGame, I don't usually play horror games, but I was so intrigued by Silver Pines that I just had to try it. And I did not regret it. Scared plenty, but I want to play more! Here's a clip of me messing up real bad XD Part 1 on Youtube! 👇

Can someone tell me I'm not crazy? I hear Andrew Wincott's voice in Colin the Pig 😂 Is he the voice actor or am I tripping?? #Fable #FableTheGame

I think I took a wrong turn, time to get the F outta here 😂💀 #Gothic #GothicRemake

I am (slightly) obsessed with how good #GothicRemake looks, sorry not sorry. Also, been finding a crazy amount of easter eggs/references, should I make a thread with them? 🤔

So, I haven't seen anyone mention this, am I drawing a weird conclusion here? I'm already in theory mode 😂 @fable 👀 Also, I need me one of those Jack statues 🥲 #Fable #FableTheGame

The new #Fable gameplay showcase was good, I have a few complaints here and there but nothing too big. What I found a bit odd was this sudden swing of mood 😂

The devs at @tct_adventures will listen to your feedback, just be respectful in how you express it. If you love CRPGs and liked the EA but weren't fully in due to the character creator, it's time to check Solasta 2 out again 😉 Personally, I recommend it. #Solasta2 #crpg #rpg

Is this a Game of Thrones reference/easter egg in #GothicRemake ? I'm not entirely sure, but what else could it be 🤔

They managed to turn one of the most barren landscapes of the time into such an incredibly immersive experience. I know some argue the remake shouldn't be this lush and green, but to that I say, the place is called "valley" of mines, not canyon of desolation 😅 #GothicRemake

About time!!!! (I'm glad)
