The Atari VCS team give another update - plus a proper look at the UI

Quoting: sketchtoo many dumb and slow animations imho...
Yeah they should only show them once and maybe prompt to speed them up a bit. A 50-70% speedup would probably make them tolerable while still being able to see them. (The dash is running in a maximized windowed. )

I doubt these sell well here in Australia, we have import tax and poor exchange rate atm. People rather use their money on next gen console.

If these were $200AUD, I'd get one, but by the time they get here it will certainly be $400aud or more. Next gen consoles will maybe be $600aud (market price capped by Sony and MS) since they NEED people to get the consoles more then they need to make a large profit on the hardware.

Godot Engine was approved for an Epic MegaGrant

To be fair guys EPIC killed Linux and Mac support for Rocket League after claims that there wasn't enough player base to keep supporting it. Which leads me to believe the development upkeep cost of that studio is in real bad shape (devs costing way too much).

This is a problem when a gamedev studio get too big, suddenly they go from only needing 20k profit on a fringe platform to keep supporting it, to needing 10million.... THIS IS 100% what happened with Rocket League!

Quoting: SslaxxHow bizarre. Why would Epic want to support a rival project, commercial or not, open source or not?

Unless they're going by the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" principle to hurt Unity...
Maybe they would like to buy it further down the road once its more fleshed out. Epic is doing some weird things lately, they kill support for Mac and Linux on Rocket League, and at same time help projects which have a very strong Linux support narrative.

I do hope Epic at some point wake up and actually release their store/platform for Linux, and Mac. (I hate Apple btw)

Co-op first-person spaceship command game PULSAR: Lost Colony now has a proper tutorial

Quoting: GuestI don't really either, but should that stop us from playing a cool game? We know we at least have ONE thing in common.
I get what you mean, however this game is built heavily around multiplayer, playing it solo would be quite hard and probably boring/a chore.

On top of that I live in Australia which makes it even harder to find people to multiplayer with. Perhaps its playable with 300ms ping? but often not.

I have almost bought the game several times. But it is a multiplayer game and well, I don't have friends, hehe

looks good to me, be nice if it had nvidia and amd gpu temp/data monitoring also. And for some reason it can't detect my memory modules.
