Dreamcast/ドリームキャスト general
Elysian Shadows edition


I am not sure if you guys make Dreamcast generals here since I am new but I didn't find any live so I created one



Soooo…
Few weeks ago I randomly stumbled upon on this YT channel Elysyan shadows.
Eminently I fallen in love with their content and their personalities.
They are making "next gen 2D RPG".Main guy Falco is THAT one techy C programmer who started this project 7 years ago with few friends. Basically they made 3D engine for 2D game.I highly suggest you to watch their YT Adventures In Game Development series.They are successfully founded on Kickstarter and planing to release game in 2017.
Also I was blown away with the fact that there are indie developers still working and publishing games for Dreamcast

BTW I just found ouy that they had huge problems with team so after all this yeras only two guys are working on this Falco and Patryk.I really hope they finish

Resurrecting this thread out of the .tokyo archives. Any sushi rolls here own a VR headset? Any rolls just curious about them? What games/experiences are you trying these days? Any small projects that you would recommend trying?

The last thread was made just as the two main PC headsets (Oculus Rift and Vive) were coming out in 2016. In the two years since, we've seen slow but constant growth in both headset sales and the number of available games. In addition, the lineup of Windows Mixed Reality headsets is making room-scale VR with hand tracking more affordable than ever. Beat Saber is helping to push VR to arcades across the country and I really hope this is the time when VR makes it to the mainstream.

So E3 is over, and in the spirit of looking forward to better times, what games are you feeling optimistic about?

That new Zelda has some potential.

A few years ago I smoked a lot of pot and thus found great entertainment in commentated professional gaming. The way commentators direct your attention and point out important things or just give background information on the players, maps, strategies and so on is really captivating and can enhance the experience of the game a lot.

When it comes to games I haven't played myself, a good commentator, giving explanations on game mechanics and meta, can completely shift my view on the action and appreciation of skill involved. This is prominently in speedrunning the case, where the beauty of tricks or glitches often only comes to shine with the knowledge of how to archive them.

What are your favorite e-sports?

For starters I recommend this post-match analysis of a game between Rapha and Cooller in Quake with Rapha himself explaining everything.

hey everyone, whos excited to play hello kitty island adventure when it comes out on steam at the end of
January.

there's a thread here ( >>196 ) on old source/goldsrc games which i enjoy.
this thread is for modern source/source 2.
i love counterstrike ive been playing it for 20+ years love every single iteration especially cs:go.
so, when i heard there was going to be a cs2 i was so excited.
the improved graphics are a major plus yet the movement feels a tad off, then there's the cheaters so many cheaters to the point where some matches might as well be HvH. cs:go wasnt perfectly balanced on release so im hoping in a year or two cs2 will be better balanced. last but not least in regards to cs2 maps are needed i miss train and cache.
oh yeah, deadlock beta is going on i got an invite to it but havent downloaded it yet cause i dont like the cartoony look its like they put every source game in a blender to make this thing.

I know you guys might not find the idea of indulging in social movements enticing, but there has been this initiative recently that I believe pushes for a benefit for most of us.

Lately Games as a Service have become quite the norm in this day and age, and it's a very common trend for these games to not let players access the game's content any longer once End of Service arrives. Even if you bought a physical copy of it, there is no way to access these games any longer since they required connection to the servers to play them.

This pledge would be in order so that the EU provides consumers the right to be able to still access these games, allowing users to host their own instances of them, in the case a company or developer group decides to announce End of Service. It would allow a decentralization similar to mastodon 's infrastructure, where if one instance is shutdown, users are able to host their own servers, and the products they bought wouldn't be rendered useless.
I normally believe most users have to do the right thing and not purchase games that they'd be sure these kind of things would happen. But given the tracking record of the EU, bringing back replaceable batteries and making USB-C standard, I don't think this isn't that bad of an idea.

If you think this is a good way to help videogames in general, here are some links you might find interesting:

The initiative:
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home

The amount of signatures that are required for this to be taken into consideration by the EU parliament is 1 million, and it also requires certain thresholds to be met. ie: it requires 7 countries of the EU to reach a certain amount of signatures.

hey sushirolls, I feel like MMOs have fallen out of style. This makes me sad, since I find them to be cozy, so I wanted to know if anyone else stills plays them.

If anyone wants to create a clan in everquest 2, I just started it… I'm trash but its been a lot of fun so far ;w;

Can we have a thread for combo videos/CMVs (combo music videos), speedrunning clips/montages, general montages, etc.
I really like these sort of things
