This game’s gonna own. Played the demo a while back and was excited to be playing a boomer shooter that doesn’t take place in hell or on a farm.

Are the worst people possible still making it though?

There’s been no bigger heartbreak in gaming recently than a build engine game flipping the Duke/Wang script with a lady protagonist only to have it become some sort of gamergate homophobic mess.

it was too true to its build engine inspirations: homophobic mess with absolutely dogshit enemy design and guns that are fun on paper but boring to actually use, some decent looking maps

I’m always in it for the maps and exploration so it still stings.

there was one homophobic joke in an easter egg area, most of what happened was the devs being transphobic in a discord… I’m not going to waste my time being offended at an ā€œOgayā€ bottle in a videogame when they clearly did worse stuff than that. The lady protagonist is good, too.

Everything tulpa is counting as a negative besides that is why it’s a really good build engine game lol the enemies are no worse than Blood (like it literally even has the hitscanner cultists) and idk the weapons are good. Bowling bomb owns. Its a build engine game, they’re all kind of shit. I didn’t fuckin give them money so whatever

This new one is made by a different developer anyway, whos mostly been working on the terrible kingpin remaster and the terrible sin remaster that never came out

I cannot believe the universe threatened me with more Sin and didn’t follow through

Super Mario Maker 1 is one level away from being ā€œfully clearedā€

Here’s what the author’s clear attempt looks like:

These stats have increased by like 40-50% since I last checked yesterday:

Several streamers have been throwing themselves at it:

pretty impressive for a stage with only 12 timer ticks of action

in the unlikely event this level survives the community’s attempts up to the april 8th deadline, that would perhaps be as impressive at the entire project itself

unrelated, but there exists software that can host a minimally functional private server for the game: https://smmserver.github.io/

I’m sure nintendo will try to have any attempts to keep it alive shot into the sun

^ And it looks like there’s a free playable demo available now a little further down that page.

I never finished it, but I remember really liking Read Only Memories. Pretty good music, art, and worldbuilding.

I did not get along great with the original Read Only Memories but I am still kinda sad that I don’t think this follow-up will respect how bad an ending I got in said game.

Glad to know this new one is a different outfit, but I’m still gonna say fuck that original crew for that ā€œanti-censorshipā€ grandstanding they did after the fact to curry favor with the gg crowd.

You don’t have to say ā€œtimer ticksā€ – Nintendo made each tick in Mario Maker one second long even though it’s like 0.8s in every older game.
