This is extremely my shit though. I was kind of hoping it would have the crafting minigames like Fantasy Life because, well, of course I would. I also suspect that it’ll feel a bit like a charmless version of Fantasy Life without the soundtrack, but…
I think I’d snatch it up immediately at $25, $50 is asking a little much. But this will definitely be on my radar.
Bring Fantasy Life to switch you cowards.
I love the frown in the last panel
I don’t know much about anything but I think I’ve even seen programmers on this forum complaining about this trend
(the new Warcraft 3 menu they just updated everyone to is a Chrome app)
Wow Blizzard used to be awesome but they’re like a big joke now.
Electron (which is the desktop framework that embeds chrome) is actually nicer and fuller featured and easier to ship basic stuff with in an attractive way than any other fully cross platform desktop app framework that preceded it, the problem is that a) they’ve only recently tried to optimize it to do anything less than run a full browser instance, and b) people literally don’t know how to do anything else anymore, so you get cases where it’s really inappropriate
Dreams is coming out soon as well.
the most recent RPG Maker runs on the chrome webkit or something as well, so a web build might be 10mb in size but a standalone download version of the same game will be 200mb minimum
which I find deeply vexing even if people claim download size doesn’t really matter anymore!!!
cutting into valuable space people could be using to store unnecessarily high quality orchestral versions of one winged angel dot mp3 >:(
Didn’t old RPG Maker versions let you download a package for free from their website that had all the common files in it? That way the actual games that used those files could save a ton of download space? Is there no equivalent for that for Electron apps? I mean, not like everyone doesn’t already have Chrome installed anyway.
yeah they had a run-time package! and you could include it all in your game, or ask people to download it separately, or only include a very trimmed version with the base files if you were mostly using custom resources. to my knowledge and after looking around there’s no equivalent with the chrome stuff haha.
in fairness the web exporting is pretty cool and it’s not like rpg maker was ever particularly good for really short-form trainwrecks stuff but it has been a bummer finding forum posts by RM-using teenagers who don’t have web servers and just want to email goofy game builds to each other without a potentially >500mb uncompressed file if you’re not conversant in all the little reduction tricks.
The rumor is the PS5 UI is going to be all html.
The PS4 UI is already entirely a web app.
yup, just like the PS4 OS is a BSD fork
none of that is exotic and all is as expected
Lol
What’s a BSD
Berkeley Software Distribution, it’s the commercial-friendly (non-Linux) open source Unix, also the basis for Mac OSX
