@lobut @itmightbethew ya, cold take actually turned me on to the escapists as a brand rather than just a ZP fan. Was my favorite show they had.
Who says you can’t mix full-time jobs, families and game development? :cold_sweat:
We are a small diverse group of friends, following our dreams, and trying to build something to completion for a change! Can we do it? Lets find out!
Wishlist our first game Somnipathy Today!

@JDPoZ @HobbitFoot there is definitely talk that RTS split into moba and ‘grand strategy’/4x games. That most gamers fell into one of those camps and moved on from the genre.
I remember seeing some new RTS games at PAX east a number of years ago, and it always just felt like worse starcraft to me. Almost all of them feel that way to me.
@Pheonixdown @alyaza I had alot of fun doing a bares bones prototype of gravity lashing in 2d. Storm light is just ripe for all sorts of video game adaptations.
Definitely a project I wanna revisit someday.
@Scooter411 ugh I don’t know why I bother with cross posting thing. Thanks for the heads up at least.
@banana_meccanica @trashhalo man you sound like me 25 years ago lol
I did grow out of it.
@frank ya the. Second one really wasn’t as good somehow to me. But with the cozy game trend atm it feels like a new entry would do well.
@bijuice I recall when achievements were still kinda new and weird a little game called viva pinata. While it was a creative sandbox of sorts, the achievements essentially guided you to get ‘everything’ the game had to offer, and it ended up being one of the only ‘monster catching’ games I actually finished completely and loved.
I think that’s probably the way to do it. Freedom to do what you want, but a guide to encourage you to do most of it.
@PersistentDreamer @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] its been a beautiful mess working with them. People have egos, and games are sort of art by committee… Feelings were sometimes hurt, painful cuts made. It’s been a fun year and a half but it’s been tough too!
I’ll be making sure they see your compliment right now, cuz it really does mean alot to all of us. Thanks!
@RiceMunk hm may be a federation thing… I get list easily here still. Doesn’t matter! Does this come through?
@tal @Jimbo truly something special back in 09 or whenever it was released. The twist ending and mind screwy real end were super unexpected back then .
Today nothing really to write home about. It’s all been done and built on already.
