Quick Questions XIII: Answers Return

I’m really in the mood to play a chill, ambient, first-person adventure game, with emphasis on exploration. Preferably for cheap or free. I’m struggling to just not reinstall Morrowind again, because I’d rather sink my teeth into something less combat-heavy (combat is still OK though)

First thing that comes to mind reading your post is Myst? It seems likely that you’ve thought of that already though so then maybe Amerzone? Or see if someone has preserved the surprisingly good Lego Bionicles Flash adventure game.

Heard good things about The Void too

Tulpa is right Arx Fatalis rules. Right at the end of the simulationist wave, it’s like proto Deus Ex meets Ultima. Shares with Morrowind a contempt for generic Tolkienesque fantasy. The most important nonhuman race is librarian snakeladies

is there like a game engine for STGs anyone knows about? Theres one on steam which looks ok maybe but its 40 bux, and also someone linked an ancient looking japanese one in the STG thread ages ago that I feel would be more complicated than working in gamemaker or unity. I think @The_Blueberry_Hill mentioned one to me once???

i have to admit i almost just asked you about this directly Tulpa because when i did a forum search like half the dozen mentions of “Arx Fatalis” were from you. No shade. And

these are basically the 2 best reasons i should play it or anything, good choices

OK yeah, thank you, i’m going to play this game. Fuckin, duh

if you’re not looking for a full-on engine and just need some sort of bullet pattern assistance, Pixelnest did a version of BulletML for unity: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/bulletml-for-unity-16206

documentation of the actual unity package kind of sucks but I like BulletML

and this is just a wrapper for Unity, BulletML is available on its own for free

So who is getting dark souls, street fighter or sega at the end of this month?

For Dark Souls I might wait for the Switch version.

For Sega I assume you mean the Mega Drive collection, in which case I was hoping for a Switch version too, but seems Sega would rather charge us individually with the Ages releases. So I guess it depends on the price.

Street Fighter, probably not

i’d rather have the ages releases with their extra features and arcade games than the exact same set of mega drive roms sega have already released several times over the past 15 or so years
