Exactly! Creatures that peek around corners and slide back away when you look toward them, monsters that follow your eyesight to dodge attacks, etc.

It could be great!!

Any ideas? I’ve wondered the same, don’t really vibe with the 4X pattern but I like the slow snowball

I want a VR shooter that actually uses the tech interestingly. Give me sections of Zero G with full 6dof. Give me quirky weapons with panels you slide open when they overheat and barrels that twist to change firing mode. Give me abilities that I could only use with a virtual pair of hands, like slingshotting grenades without dropping my primary or reaching into things to grab loot. And make the gunplay feel like Pavlov because it’s the best.

Easy enough, right? 😅

Edit: also use eye tracking to make the horror better

It would be, I love the genre so I’d definitely play!

The lua sdk is great btw!

Hello, thank you 👋 The niche toys are my favorite! Someone made an orrery app, which is like a solar system simulator. I have this year’s eclipse bookmarked because it’s neat

Mars After Midnight was fun!

Unfortunately it’s still ~$100 just to make the thing, so halving the price doesn’t sound likely. It’s definitely a device you have to use intentionally because of the screen, but I still play mine at least few times a week (and daily when I’m pomodoroing!)

Plus you get 3 months of included games! A bit harder to become ewaste so fast when you’re playing something new every week

Heck yeah, I think that’s a good reason! 💛 Hopefully they ship out by mid-December, would be nice over Christmas!

Cheers, happy Halloween!

Save up for season 2, it’ll be like a game book club! Maybe we can finally make a playdate lemmy community 😭

As a dev who recently released a game for the system (on sale now - only $1!), I’m pretty excited to see what gets included! It sounds like it’ll be all new games

I downloaded the demo rom (from itch) to play on my anbernic sp tonight! I didn’t realize there was a nice little homebrew scene

Edit: Played it some, great game! They have little gates that take away abilities and it makes traversing a shared area really fun. Smart level design and the platforming is solid

Little Inferno can be beaten in ~3 hours and… let me check… yes, it’s on mobile! It’s by the people that made World of Goo, don’t sleep on it

Hat in Time is a great modern 3D platformer, movement was fun and I liked the variety of characters across the levels. The Murder on the Owl Express quest was my favorite!

Most of the game is fantastic, but yeah my partner and I were surprised when that happened!
There was one other plot point where we raised our eyebrows, but I don’t know to do spoiler text

KNIFE FIGHT!!!

There’s a lot to do outside the main plot, the townspeople were really interactive. Great rec! The falling leaves give it a cozy vibe too

Frog Detective!

It’s a lighthearted detective series, more of a walking sim with humorous characters than anything. The magnifying glass doesn’t even do anything! The dev did a fun talk about comedy in games if you’re into that

Here’s a shot I got from the last game (corruption at cowboy county)

Love Ooblets! The dance battles are a fun little replacement for regular creature collecting fights, and they also scratch that deckbuilder itch.

The OLED update also helped create a secondary market of used/refurbished units, it was a pretty good decision

That’s silly, thank you for the explanation!
