Cute robots? As ever, I'm there! :grin:

Love love LOVE the look, feel, and sound of what's being shown here - the key-art on the trailer thumbnail looks like something out of a Studio Ghibli movie!

I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. :grin:

Quoting: GuestDo you know any games using Godot?
One that I've been playing lately is the Early Access Star Fox-style rail-shooter, Ex-Zodiac [External Link].

Quoting: GuestWould be interested to have a look at them. Official site doesn't seem to mention any games using it, but maybe I missed it.
You might want their Showcase [External Link] page. :smile:

Nintendo Switch emulator yuzu gets a nice Steam Deck upgrade

Have you been doing much emulation on Steam Deck or desktop Linux? Let me know in the comments how you've found the experience to be. I don't do much at all myself.
I used to be a major real-hardware-only person, even to the point of having owned a JAMMA cabinet (I don't recommend it - they're huge, noisy things, and they're a maintenance nightmare - even more so now that CRTs are out of production) and still owning a Retrode and a tape-player that can correctly handle old microcomputer data-cassettes (I still have boxes, bags, buckets, and binders full of old tapes, cartridges, discs, and arcade-boards hanging around, too), so a hell of a lot of my Linux-gaming is emulated, as once emulation improved I always saw it as a simple format-shift.

Anyway, the experience of emulation on Linux is better than ever these days, though I can still remember the bad old days when people would say "Oh, you wanna stick Windows XP on that." (no, I didn't want to). It felt like that changed for the better very rapidly once the Raspberry Pi spread like wildfire - something that it now feels like the Steam Deck is doing for PC-gaming on Linux. (Myself and fellow GOL'er StoneColdSpider often joke in the Weekend Players' Club forum-threads that we're from Emulationville, a bustling suburb of Linuxtown, as well, since it became fairly common for people to get into Linux-gaming thanks to emulation on the Raspberry Pi. :tongue:)

That said, I haven't emulated the Switch - I sold mine in late 2021 because very little on it interested me in the end, and as others have mentioned the ergonomics are quite painful, and then I went all-in on Linux-gaming after that, with most of the few Switch titles I enjoyed being available on Steam and working via Proton, so I just re-bought them there.

I'm somewhat reminded of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night [External Link], here, which is no bad thing - will have to keep tabs on this one. :smile:

Getting some strong Yume Nikki [External Link] vibes from this one, except with a more clearly-defined story and goal. Interesting!
