yet another Elevator7009 alt, now to mod [email protected]
Ouch. The reviews got a lot worse. Game not explaining things well, inability to pause combined with text-heavy, no save button or information on what saves… also drama over how devs receive criticism that I did not actually investigate to see if they actually cannot take criticism and just silence dissent, or not.
Dev interviews are always fun.
At a game center, there’s a tendency for games to start losing players about three months after their release. So we thought that if, three months later, some new feature was unlocked, it would bring people back. On top of that, we thought it would be cool to have something open up like that which would challenge players who have already gotten used to the game and cleared it… “You’re not done yet, bring it on!!”
Smart, I wonder if that actually worked.
From that point on, in order to allow those people who had gotten into shooting games through Deathsmiles to clear our other games, we added Novice modes. And you know, a 1CC is part of the fun, isn’t it?
Always nice to see them consider how different people onboard to their games and trying to add stuff for beginners.
Them thinking about difficulty but also trying to make sure things are theoretically beatable is appreciated.

This is exactly the kind of reply I was hoping for, thank you!
I feel if I spontaneously quit all my niche gaming communities and posted everything I’d post there on a general community instead, I’d annoy everyone with a bunch of Steam links for games they probably do not care about. People in the niche communities are more likely to care about a link to a game in a genre they already like. Also, for most of the small communities I’ve got at least one other poster sometimes, and that’s better than nobody! Despite all the trouble with incremental.social and federation, when I can get on there we do have a few regulars chatting there and that’s nice.
There’s also just fans of a certain genre being used to backlash from the wider gaming community. I did get mostly upvotes when I posted [email protected], which is mostly romance visual novels for women who like men, to [email protected]. I appreciate it. But I am not sure how posting these games to [email protected] would go over, especially when I suspect Lemmy to be male-dominated. Visual novels already suffer from the “it’s all just hentai” stereotype. Now add the “media for women, especially romance media, is stupid and vapid and silly” prejudice. And even for those who just live and let live, I suspect most of the general [email protected] community would be disinterested in otome game posts, which is fair because I’m disinterested in romance and/or sex visual novels aimed at men who want to date women (although they should definitely be allowed to exist and people should be allowed to like them in peace). So both to avoid any backlash, and to avoid annoying the wider community, I don’t want to post those games to this general community. I still want a space for it on Lemmy though, so I made that community. I have one other regular poster and sometimes people drop in and comment.
You could make the argument that I’m simply posting low-quality content, and I’d just have to raise the bar for [email protected] to accept my posts, and that I just want my niches back, to which I say: fair. But unfortunately I’m no video game expert or connoisseur. I play and enjoy. The lovely guide and wiki makers usually get there before I can. I’m not too good at coming up with fun discussion questions that are better than what I’d consider low-tier engagement bait back on Reddit like “name one good thing about [noncontroversial character]”. So link posts it is, better some on-topic content than none at all. And even if I did write a wonderful in-depth review or guide, if it’s not for some big mainstream appeal game but something that only genre enthusiasts really like, not sure how well [email protected] would take to it. So that’s my rationale for having these niche communities. You’re still very free to think I’m wrong ;) Thanks for contributing in earnest to [email protected]!
On one hand I understand this, but on the other hand I’d like to post games I find that fit these subgenres or talk about that subgenre without making myself the biggest spammer in [email protected], and I think (time will tell!) I do have the stubbornness necessary to scream into the void until people come along. Maybe I should crosspost the ones I think are most likely to have mass appeal…
This is a short review-ish thing for the game. If you want to know a lil more, or swear you have seen this before, this game has been on [email protected] before courtesy of OP :) https://lemmy.zip/post/33711855 https://lemmy.zip/post/34576112
You’re probably right, but most of these do exist already, so I figure not why not continue trying to use them (and to direct attention from this big community there)? Also probably doesn’t help a lot of instances have general games communities. We’re pretty splintered. Now that I think about it I should probably crosspost to some of the bigger ones.
So pleased to have seen this on my feed. Loved doing mazes as a kid.
(Also you might want to look at [email protected])
I saw this on the Steam deal of the day, was going to post it, and saw you got here 7 months earlier 😂😭
alien worlds teeming with (edible) life
Back when I was on Reddit, I was a big [email protected] fan (Humanity Fuck Yeah, usually sci-fi subverting “humans are the boring generic ones”) and I remember a HWTF one about us eating other sapient aliens, my brain immediately went there after seeing that. Although that’s probably not what they meant.
I suggest cross posting to [email protected] since that was a mentioned genre in the Steam description, maybe with a title emphasizing those aspects a bit more
I’m always surprised these posts go to general gaming communities but nobody thinks to post to [email protected]
Sometimes I crosspost myself and sometimes I make some comment like this hoping OP will do it because it feels somehow like I’m “stealing credit” even though it’s just a link post and not some original textpost. This time I took a third option and just straight up asked how they felt about the new subclasses
While we’re here, [email protected] definitely could use some love (and by love I mean posters).
Hey, thanks for your effort again!!
Looked into Metro, completely disinterested, but 
. I always figure if my tastes do a 180 or a friend wants to play some games (it is pretty likely our tastes will not be identical) it never hurts to have.
I guess we’re total opposites, I usually avoid physicals because I know myself. I want to keep things nice and pretty and pristine, I’ll never subscribe to “the flaw/crease/spillage adds to its charm!”, and I know I am too clumsy to actually keep it as nice as I’d like. Less objects to clean, to lose, to cry over when they inevitably get messed up.
At least from what I am aware of Mitchell cheated. I never heard of the suicide thing. If the lawsuit was really just over suicide and not over the cheating claims, I wonder why his records got reinstated after this. But hey, I’m quite out of the loop and my comment would probably be a good example in court of reputational damage, as a random who does not really follow these records but might click a video on them someday or read something and come away thinking something about a person.
Have been playing Antimatter Dimensions, an [email protected], and various Steam demos to see if I’ll like the game or not.
I have not played this game but someone at [email protected] might be able to help you.
