Similarily, there's the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas! [External Link] bundle, a bundle of tabletop RPG books in response to the Texas in the US signing laws in place that hurt trans people and especially trans kids.

Ah, and here I thought the "soon after" that was previously stated meant like a day or so, still within the one week for getting the release-day DLC for free. :/

I'm a bit sad they don't use Ren'Py. I like being able to snoop through the game scripts and Ren'Py makes that easy(-ish) :P

Quoting: slembckeIt doesn't take thousands of lines of code to draw a triangle with Vulkan though, and I'm kind of annoyed that people keep saying so and discouraging others to even try it. :(

A few years ago, I did write a simple Vulkan renderer just to get a hang of Vulkan, starting with getting a triangle to work. I loosely followed https://vulkan-tutorial.com/Introduction [External Link] , IIRC.

And yes, it was nearly exactly 1000 lines to get a triangle to show up. Granted, extending it to do more didn't add thousands more, but it is definitely more verbose than OpenGL.

Quoting: EikeIt's pixelated, it's ugly, scrolling is bumpy, controls are broken, path finding doesn't work, the puzzles are superfluous, pacing is bad, the action sequences are nonsense, the jokes sometimes fall flat...

... but it's wonderful game about

Spoiler, click me

live, love and death.

I have (nearly) exactly the opposite view.

It has a cute pixel-art look, no issues with the puzzles or the pacing. The action sequences I could do without, yeah

The story starts great, yeah, I like it, but...

Spoiler, click me

the story it's all completely made void by the fact that it's not real. It's not a time-travel story, he's not connecting with his former SO, he's just imagining it. It's not real, it's fake, it's a lie, so in the end, it has no bearing on reality, it has no meaning.

Quoting: LanzI know it's popular online to be a rabid leftist, but Thatcher was a remarkably talented woman who deserves our respect, not mockery.

The problem with pissing on Margaret Thatcher's grave is that eventually you run out of piss.

I'm assuming they're doing other contract work outside of porting and/or outside of games

Like, the company I work for is in the automotive industry, with VW previously being the major customer. VW has been scaling back on external contracts (not just, but also because of the panini), so we had to pivot quite a bit. That's business
