This looks like a awesome find, it combines elements of some really successful and fun genres, if they get the Steam Deck performance up then it'd be a perfect game to pass the time when waiting in a car for someone.

Fast-paced car combat game FUMES has an awesome demo worth playing

It seems like new games capitalize on old styles to generate interest.

My emotional reaction to the sight of this game is beyond ecstatic, but just like Selaco -- I jump over to the store page and see "Single-Player", or rather the things that "could" make this awesome for me personally are just not there.

Stardew Valley did the Harvest Moon SNES formula right.

Selaco didn't due the Duke Nukem 3D Megaton formula right in my view.

This to me is in the Twisted Metal genre and it at least presently or foreseeable lacks PvP split screen Multiplayer or Multiplayer in general which basically undermines the point of the genre, even a offline PvP would do wonders to make this buy-worthy for me.

There are plenty of untapped multi million-dollar markets waiting for the right person to fit the bill. Not that income is the __only__ goal, but I do think it is really nice when your indie passion project can generate enough wealth the sustain future game dev ventures and take being a starving programmer off the table.

Epic _BIG_ MAD

Some people just REALLY love the state and kissing boots.

Just went through my wishlist with an AI and deleted everything that contained Denuvo and Easy Anti-Cheat.

Not gonna buy headaches & spyware. One good thing about the future.

This may sound silly, but what I really would like to play is the old school DOS Snake game where you eat apples to get longer. I think I saw it in the Arch repos as `snake`, add cool-retro-term for SFX.

If anyone hasn't played Cyberpunk 2077 and likes dark dystopians like Akira, it's a masterpiece and 60% off

NVIDIA RTX Remix released, plus Half-Life 2 RTX demo arrives March 18 - looking way too bright

@CatKiller -- Perfectly Put.

1. Conflict of Vision
2. The Subject or Art has been overworked muddying the vision from better to worse.

@Laim -- Perfect title "looking way too bright"

Colors are at least 15% over-saturated, maybe up to 30%

--

Video 2 Time Index 0:47 - 0:50 -- Notice the "Light Saber" treatment -- where the Health Recharge Stations for Nostalgia "Memberberries" have been retroactively reworked to be "Overly Glowie" departing from their original design -- similar to how Star Wars Light Sabers were a PITA to SFX in Ep4, 5 and 6 and then in 1-3 and 7-9 were overused when previously other weapons in the SW universe were a bigger deal like the bounty hunter gun, jetpack and other tech due to real world fanfare effecting the fantasy world.

In any case the new video looks like a 15% reduction in grit which is not a good thing. Ravenholm needs to be more filthy and dirty, not shiny.

@:27 the Red Laser glows so ___king bright it feels like an insult to my intelligence, and to be quite frank like a shift to a overly tistic future where everything needs to look like a CASINO with bright flashing lights to feed the dopamine hits of a cellphone generation with the 2-second attention span of a goldfish.

Honestly it comes off as denigrating and undignifying.

In any case I'll check it out and I do support these kinds of efforts to old beloved projects, but I am not particularly hype 9k since I am on a XTX and the last RTX Remix I played had terrible performance -- I agree with previous sentiments that any lag or artifacts could really kill the experience and immersion.

I am half grump because I remember how during the PlayStation 2 there was this obsession with Revolutionary "Graphics" and the Gameplay, Story and Mechanics at the time were often the cost -- I would never make that trade or sidegrade.

Lets see what happens in 4 days -- I hope they dial down the obnoxious over-saturation some.

Sound Design undestands the principle of Negative Space, and I think that the lighting and reflections are in service to an Ego to sell a product, and not so much to the original work and are over-used at levels which cause the inverse desired effect when attempting to dignify and service the universe

Looks like the devs got excited and are hauling ass, this is an exciting time to be a RTS fan.

Acclaim Entertainment returns to 'support indie developers and reignite classic franchises'

From my view, the only thing that will revive this company is a new Turok game that stays true to the 1990s Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition ethos.

I don't think anyone in the west is brave enough for such an undertaking as investors dictate content. I would sooner trust India, China or the east with this IP.

The California Fire Relief Bundle is live on itch.io

California has major Sparking Power Lines during Wind Events and Insufficient Water Infrastructure problems to service the growing population, and millions of dead trees due to invasive bug species killing them (bark beetle).

It's great when communities come together to try to turn something bad into something good, but even better would be if the population understood the source of these problems and made sure the infrastructure mismanagement was not a ticking time bomb to begin with.

California Fires have become a Fire Industrial Complex, when construction and industries run out of work you can be sure the next one is on it's way. That's not okay, take it as words of warning for the part of the world you live in.

The transformers aren't even made domestically, and the ETA from ordering to having replacement parts on hand is can require up to a year.

Why is power infrastructure on decaying falling telephone poles instead of in the ground if Wind Events are a problem?

Why has the state been allowed to monopolize power production and socialize it under their direct control with none of the responsibilities.
