So.. like Baldur's Gate 2. Yeah, you can make some choices there, but since there's mods for BG2 that just let you skip this part - loads of people want it.

In Pokemon Yellow on the PC I thought “release” meant “release them from the PC back into your party”. I released my Bulbasaur. I hadn’t developed proper game saving habits yet so I had just gone all the way through Mt. Moon without saving and didn’t want to do all that all over again so I had to accept his death. 😭

most games just add crazy/tedious requirements to 100% them, which just sucks.

I'm the kind of player that like to 100% games but when this means going out of my way to do it I'm usually just dropping the game (except for some rare exceptional games) and even worse if a game grades me and I don't get perfect score, this one always drives me nuts haha.

so I'm looking for games that are fun to 100% (preferably in 1 run, not new game+ and other things like that, just the ability to replay missions to do better)

Time stamp for the ND part is 10:43 in case it doesn't embed properly. The video is about sony's many issues with live service in general and goes into multiple studio's woes but to me this stood out because everyone has assumed that ND has just been faffing about on intergalactic for the whole 7 years since TLOU 2 came out.

This is just yet more proof of why live service is a plague. Full quote from the vid

>A lot of people at ND were working on it. I think there's a belief out there that it was just kind of a side project while most people were working on intergalactic...no the opposite is true. Intergalactic did not have the majority of staff until after tlou online was cancelled. The majority of the studio was working on either tlou online or the remasters/remakes.

He also says tlou online cost "hundreds of millions" by the time it was canned.

Like i mean they are working on deleting those leaks

but to me it kinda sounds like a marketing thing just to keep the hype going on, and the leaks are just from Rockstar them selv.

What are your favourite two game worlds? One that you'd actually want to experience for real, and one you wouldn't.

The one I'd love to experience would be the Horizon Festival. I'm a car nut through and through, and the idea of a festival that celebrates cars of all varieties is something I absolutely love.

The one I'd avoid at all costs is the Zone from Stalker. As a game, I love and even find weirdly relaxing, but if it was real, I wouldn't go into the Zone if I had a choice in the matter.

• Oof. I feel bad. I should've looked around and found the actual source. If y'all like it, I think we should make sure some traffic gets to the developer's video:

I searched and didn't see any results with this trailer. Me still being in the Hollow Knight endgame, it's easy to draw parallels, but I really only have that and Aria of Sorrow to go off of. From the stuff I've read, it's really hard to be a metroidvania (which I'm not sure this is) without being reminiscent of the biggest names in the genre.

Still, I love the art direction and the music used in the trailer. IF i can love something like Kirby despite its consistently familiar gameplay and difficulty, I can love something like this if it turns out to be good whatever that means to me when I play it.

I hope it can cross the finish line. I don't know how game development works and if a trailer is usually a good sign for a game, but I hope that's true for this.

Hi there!

I'm Darya Noghani. I created Small Saga, an RPG about a mouse on a quest for revenge against the god that took his tail, and the strange London wildlife he encounters on the way.

I released it on PCs about three years ago, but since then I've been working with two-person company Vertical Reach to produce a Switch port. It was a gruelling process, basically requiring us to remake the game from the ground-up.

And now it's done! It's out on the Switch in Europe, America, and Australia! We also added a bunch of new features such as a hard mode, knife-darts, and achievements.

Please feel free to ask me anything about Small Saga, indie development in general, or rodents.
