isn’t today also the release date for the new disaster report game
(btw i missed this thread as it first went on and just wanted to thank you for your service)
It was glorious
I think so the problem is ZZT3 and 4 (from the demo) treat the disasters with a proper amount of gravitas so it reminds me too much of the real horrors and disasters of the world where people morn the dead and stand there in shellshock.
Like in the demo the earthquake happens and then you walk around a bunch of personal tragedies.
Like KT has tragedies (constantly) but it is always kept in the “it’s just a game”
sense. ZZT4 seems much more serious and dour and as much as I want to support grandella finally releasing it after 10 years I don’t need to be reminded the world is cruel.
I finally gave in and ordered a used copy of this game today. I have no idea whether the language barrier will entirely keep me from playing it but I have to try because it’s obviously never going to be ported.
What made me think of it again today is this video by one of the Granzella founders where he almost breaks down crying while talking about the upcoming release of R-Type Tactics. (I used the automatic translation feature.)
