Quoting: Mountain ManWhat game currently use Godot?
They've got a Showcase page [External Link] on their website, including a list of games and some videos. I'm guessing that it's not exhaustive, though, since there's a link at the bottom so that devs can apply to be listed there.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyAmazon have been jacking up their rates for third party sellers, charging for good search placement and generally nickel and diming them to death,
That explains why the place looks like a reskinned Wish.com or similar these days, with counterfeit goods prioritised above all else. :huh:

Until having them on the Steam Deck, they weren't something that I knew I wanted on a controller. :grin: The sheer versatility of just having them, even when not playing mouse-heavy stuff, is something that I wouldn't want to give up, now!

Fab news - it really looks like Godot is going places! :grin:

(which they can't have in the main open source code due to the secrecy of console companies)
The only pity about it is this, which is no fault of the Godot/W4 folks, since it comes across as a bit rich when the likes of Nintendo and Sony use open code for some products. Perhaps that's just me, though? :tongue:

Dig Dig Boom is a charming looking turn-based puzzle mining roguelike

Quoting: Liam DaweYeah I got a bit of an Emerald Mine vibe from seeing it.
Oh yes, most certainly. I love that sort of thing. Really should revisit Boulder Dash sometime, come to think of it - it's coming up to its 40th anniversary now! :shock:

Quoting: Purple Library GuySomewhere in the middle of the trailer thing there was a mention of winning a Norwegian game prize, and I thought "Norwegian . . . that explains something about the feel of it, it somehow does feel kind of charmingly Norwegian."
And how can we say no to a game where the protagonist is an explosives-touting dwarf called the Dynaminer? :grin:

Ooh, VERY interesting - looks like a mash-up of Mr. Driller, Boulder Dash, Spelunky, and the standard cross-pattern bombs from Bomberman. Wishlisted, because this looks like exactly my sort of thing. :grin: Thanks for the heads-up!

Last year, you were forced to suffer through the show, as well! :shock:

Quoting: Liam DaweYeah that trailer got me real hyped for the DLC!
I haven't gotten any of the DLC yet - once this is out I'll grab all of it (and pick up Brotato, which I also need to do), methinks. :grin:

Also, I just realised: Vampire Survivors is doing a crossover with Among Us. Among Us did a crossover with Fall Guys. Fall Guys did a crossover with Super Bomberman R Online and Super Bomberman R 2. So now, Vampire Survivors has a distant official connection to Bomberman, via several hops. :grin:

Oh I'm in. :grin:

Love the style of the trailer, too - I wonder if that's the direction they'll take with the Vampire Survivors TV-show?
