The concept reminds me of Neko Ghost, Jump! [External Link], although that one switches between 2D and 3D rather than being simultaneous.

Dead rodents?

Quoting: cozBusinesses have been created around protecting game developers against Switch emulation. You don't pay someone to protect you unless you expect to lose sales, which makes obvious that harm has been done.

Say what now? If you think you will lose sales on other platforms, then you make your game available on those platforms, you don't pay for some protection racket. That sounds pretty Mafia?

Quoting: scaineBut "Coming Soon" are a bit of a pain when "Soon" turns into literal years.

"Coming soon". Been waiting 14 years now.

I think some dev teams manage to create really great prototypes/teasers, but when it comes to the drudgery of actually making it into a full-fledged game they get burned out quickly. Not an easily avoidable trap without a "boss" pushing it along, and too many Kickstarters ended up with that fate.

Quoting: alka.setzerthis only applies to the open source AMD stack, the closed source driver may not be subject to this limitation.

Sure, but who wants to use the AMD closed source drivers? ATI/AMD has never been good at graphics drivers (on any OS).

Valve recode various videos for Steam Deck

They do that specifically for the Deck, leaving desktop Linux without?

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualsupporting Linux natively long-term, even with open source engines, seems far more challenging than other platforms.

Which other platforms? Microsoft does a fair job of backwards compatibility with Windows, but certainly Apple does not. macOS developers have to keep up on maintenance, or their customers can't play their games after a few OS updates.

Quoting: PenglingSony/BMG then unironically went on to infringe on the copyrights of various GPL'ed projects [External Link] and then used pirated software within the company [External Link], with as much as 47% of what they were using at the time believed to have been pirated.

Ever notice how those who fuss the loudest usually end up being guilty of what they are fussing about?

Quoting: Geppeto35Lost in Random is quite a nice game also.

I played through that one recently, and enjoyed it as well; I think the stupid EA launcher broke a couple times during my playthrough, but at least Valve got it working again quickly.

Reviews are overwhelmingly positive, so clearly the game has something going for it. But I just can't tell what based on the screenshots and video; it looks like a visual novel crossed with Final Fantasy style combat (hence the JRPG part, I guess).

Anyone who played it that can speak to the wide appeal?
