Screenbound is a platformer where you play in 2D and 3D together

Quoting: M@GOidThis is why I buy indie games. There is more in gaming than FPS and third view, open world adventure games.
Also a message for Indie developers: can we have other things that are not metroidvanias? There is another genre of games that are in need of new releases.

Well, I'm already doing my part by not making any purchase of anything from the usual suspects in the last decade, like Ubisof and EA. You only encourage them to keep doing despicable things like this, if you keep buying their games. So do not buy them, send this clear message.

Off Topic: hey Liam, are you going to cover the new Contra game? It is already out and have a demo available. I'm curious to see how it works on the Steam Deck, since I found it to be on the heavy side for a side scroller.

Quoting: KROMI'm just happy I don't have to buy a PS these days to experience games like this. :smile:
PS owners are really upset that their precious exclusives are now available to the PC Master Race®. I was dubious about this until I saw it with my own eyes, when I mentioned it while talking to one of those dirty peasants.

Yuzu agrees to pay Nintendo $2.4 million and will entirely shut down (Citra for 3DS too)

While this is not a endorsement for Nintendo's behavior, I thought it was common sense you don't create a emulator for a videogame still on sale, or else the manufacturers will send their minions after you.

There are a lot of emulators and even commercial products for previous Nintendo consoles, and I don't see Nintendo going after those.

Like others said above, I think it was pretty dumb of those guys for not only making a emulator for the Switch so soon, but establishing a company based on it. Is like painting a target in their foreheads.

Nice. In the last couple months I was wishing for a modern take on the old Desert Strike. This might scratch that itch. And it will have a Linux port, so whishlisted it is.

Immediately putted it on my whishlist. This is he kind of out of the box thinking that attracted me to indie gaming lately.

If Google and Apple, with all that power, cannot keep their stores clean all the time, how is that a surprise that a malicious app got into Canonical's app store?

Geometry Survivor is wonderful nostalgia bait updated for the survivor-like era

Speaking in nostalgia, the demo of the new Contra game is out. It is kinda heavy to play it in Proton, since I was getting only 60% of the performance I have in Windows.
