Mighty News Thread Number 9: No Silksong in Mudville

IIRC the AA version of Sunset Riders didn’t suffer from a long-standing MAME bug where you can clip through slopes while walking up them

although that can be a good thing if you have a no miss going into Chief Scalpem. I for appreciate automated rank control

Did u know there was a quiet place fps, shadow-complex lookin King Kong game, and dual evil dead / halloween wayforward retro platformers with sonic and knuckles style crossover compatibility via a 3D arcade hub that all released this month ? news 2 me.

I almost mentioned the Kong game in the random games topic but it felt too licensed, which is a shame as I def would have grabbed some of the screenshots for use.

I know I’m ruined for this shit by reading peter sotos, but I’m curious how vile it actually gets

Aww, this is one of those “used to have a demo but pulled it because it’s for an old build” cases, I get it but I really wish it still existed as I liked Salad Fields but can’t get much of a feel off the store video.

Social media was hitting me hard with ads for this. Felt like a weird scam game.

Ah fuck of course. I wonder if there’s a way to revert it (or yell loud enough to the right people for them to allow it to be rolled back).

I’m remembering the .ogv files for the cutscenes in the steam release were directly accessible from the game’s steam folder and wonder if it’s just as simple as swapping them out. But in-game textures is probably a whole fuckin’ different story…sad.

The phrase “quality of life” as deployed by vidcon marketers isn’t even really a euphemism any more, it’s literally a phrase that means “we made this worse”
