I'd love to see a well-stocked asset store. Right now Godot seems to be very popular among smaller studios and developers with a more coding than art-oriented background. A place to find/buy assets for Godot would be great.

Quoting: Liam Dawe

Quoting: tgurrIt always really amazes me to see games like Victoria in such lists as I personally can't image how you can play such a an input and text-heavy game on a rather small screen. Games like Persona 4|5 on the other hand are a perfect fit from the start. It would be really great if we'd have some additional details from each game about how many users use an external connected screen and their playtimes on each in the form of native deck screen vs. external screen connected.

Well, I imagine plenty of people are playing some like that Docked. It's still on the Steam Deck, but you're not limited to the small screen :)

That was my first thought as well, but isn't it safe to assume that in most situations when you can dock, you'd be near your main gaming device (PC, laptop etc) as well, and could just use that?

Quoting: akselmoJust stop using twitter.

It's not that easy, at least not for everyone. If you are a person who has to maintain contact with the general public, you can't just NOT use what is one of the more important channels to reach them. It's like companies can just NOT say no to Facebook for similar reasons.

It's rather yet another example why we need stronger and stricter regulations for organizations like Twitter.

We need more replacements for EA games. :)

And that's why devs should have ZERO choice in whether or not EAC is enabled on all platforms.

Good riddance. Yet another dead product that (almost) nobody asked for, and that got hyped as the future of all things when it clearly wasn't.

To be fair, as awesome as the game otherwise might be, I expect to be able to play -any- PC game at least reasonably well with mouse/KB. I wouldn't have appreciated having bought the game only to find out I can't really play it. While I bought a Steam Controller for giggles back then, I am still utterly not used to this kind of device and couldn't seriously play with one.

because EA are apparently terribly at naming.

Looking at Origin, they are terrible at coding too. Knowing EA, that stuff won't even run properly on Windows... :whistle:

Personally, it won't affect me too much, as I have no interest in EA's games other than the Sims, which really has no need for anti-cheat. But I don't like the trend to apply band-aid solutions to cheating issues instead of designing the game to be cheat-resistant from the get-go. Particularly not when said band-aid solutions behave just like malware....

Let's see where this goes, but I am not too worried. If the worst case happens and that company gets taken over by big-evil-business, I am very confident that Godot will get forked by a new dev team and live happily ever after. It happened after OpenOffice got taken over by big-evil-business, too. The good thing about open source is that it's fairly immune against hostile takeovers.

In the best case, this could be a positive game-changer for Godot. While not everything the team will be working on will get upstreamed to Godot, I am sure that a lot of it will.

Launchers are one of the biggest diseases to plague gaming next to lootboxes and NFTs. I have never, ever understood their purpose and never will. All they do is adding another unnecessary screen people have to click through and another source of potential problems. Other than that they do exactly nothing the game application couldn't do just as well from inside, while it's running.
