>>1552 No July game night...

good August hikarins. sorry for skipping out last month, i had an important meeting out of town. this month i am working the last Saturday of the month but i would still like to have a game night. the options are, either do it on the 23rd or do it earlier on the 30th. as of now i don't have any overtime planned for the 23rd but that may change. i also have the 16th off for sure. please let me know what would work best for you all. also suggest some gaymez!

>>1569 Hooray new game night I'm fine with either the 16th or 23rd

>>1570 i think i would prefer the 16th since i know for sure i will be free. what game should we play?

doesn't seem like there is much of an interest this month. before i try to organize the event, i should probably ask how many are interested in joining? if the interest isn't there then that's fine, i just would like to know so i don't plan for it and nobody show up.

>>1467 if i'm not mistaken the server is set to offline mode meaning you can join without an account. clients like polyMC or whatever let you launch in offline mode for free.

>>1468 ultimmc or sth like that is awesome

>>1469 ElyPrismLauncher is great to. You just need to create a account at ely.by for skin, and connect it into the launcher, and done. Its completly free! :3

>>1468 PollyMC is dead, long live FjordLauncher

the server is dead

>>1726 artists are much more valuable than sw devs in the indie scene. no one will sign up for a random, unpaid project

>>1728 I am saying that I'd contribute what they lack, the artist I am talking about is the kind who fills a sketchbook with his fantasy world illustrations, who'd always wanted to tell people his stories, not someone looking for grunt work. They can sell the product, idc, I just want my name in the credits.

I'm an artist myself, but can't code or write. Where do you find likeminded people with the needed skills to start a doujin circle?

https://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com/ I can't remember where I found it, but it's fun. Really enjoyed the very simplicity of the gameplay. Would recommend.

>>755 it sure would be nice if anons enjoyed a game of mine and shared it on hikari3, unfortunately I am a complete failure who can only create tools of destruction with the wisdom of the ones who lived before me.

this game was a solid 2 hours of fun. It's basically a full metriodvania game https://pinpan.itch.io/meatball-the-mite

>>1309 >God I love VNs I know >based Japanese knower

>>1311 >based Japanese knower Thank you! I may still struggle with some parts but I prefer it this way. It's part of the process

>>732 Let me add some recommends: >Tsukihime >Fate Stay/Night >CROSS†CHANNEL >Dra†Koi >Fate/Extra for more NASU

No more gacha, no more Live2D, no more VTubers or anime adaptations, bring this back NOW.

>>732 >>>how many VN have you read? >"Like... 20? ish?" >mentions 30+ VNs You seem to know a lot about VNs. I don't see you mentioning Tsukihime or any other type-moon games, have you read any yet?

>>1511 since 2021 the game hasn't felt great honestly, from what ive heard from friends who still play the fights are still pretty good but i noticed everything was just becoming so simplified and catered to retards, everything felt so boring and there was no competition left. plus modding has taken over the game 100%

ive gone and resubbed......... game feels meh but i think ill just push through and finish the MSQ

anyone have thoughts on monster hunter collab?

i got to kill arkveld it was very cool and epic

>>1667 I got the mount from the normal version of the trial The target dummy also looks nice

>>1417 How's the online? I'm pissed off Sony had switched paid games' online to become paywalled by PS Plus (they're not even handling P2P connections)

>>1715 no online i believe, but i haven't played since july

Kinda remarkable that it's so playable with only a few bugs, but I guess the emulator is being developed specifically for the game. A lot of mods available too.

>>1719 Keep it and let him get fired

well sometimes they fuck up in your favor, often they dont. sell it

They bill personnel for those losses. Company loses nothing. You should return it.

>>1704 > it's fair to say that most games released since like 1980 aren't playable anymore, if you aren't willing to spend a lot of money and effort on hardware Why? Ain't there at least few emulators for pretty much every retroplatform?

>>1694 Consider an example: Xenoblade Chronicle X re-release happened only because emulating its Wii version gradually created a demand as people had been getting informed of XCX as a cool thing that's a bit unfinished and is a Wii exclusive. Same for countless other games that got out of stock or got delisted with only maybe scalpers reselling them at unfair prices. Especially for platforms that got deprecated and, again, monopolized as a product to be sold by scalpers. Piracy is archivation. Piracy is also free PR for a product, and signals for a market there's demand with the price seen to be a bit too much. That's why you shouldn't pirate kusoge and completely ignore any crappy or corpodemon software. I'm tired of dealing with any malware personally, so I usually just stuck to supporting devs I like or using free software. I was never in the mood to neurotically manage my internet reputation to get into private tracker circles.

>>1706 Wii U*

They are beneficial to me, that's all that matters.

>>1705 sorry, i probably worded it wrong lol. i was talking about playing games on original hardware specifically. yes, there are at least a few emulators for everything, which is exactly my point: emulating is much easier and less costly than playing on original hardware. the convenience is just undeniable, and in either case, no money will ever go to the developers, because they aren't releasing the games anymore.

>>571 S3&K's special stages are the most memorable for me, but they made me dizzy as a kid.

Of the true classic games, I'm not sure. Each of them obviously have their own hangups, but I think I'd probably give it to Sonic 1. It's got that 'first game in the series' weirdness concentrated pretty heavily in the Special Stages that have only been done since as homages instead ofna true evolution of the concept. If we count Mania as a sort of neo-Classic, then Mania takes it pretty easily. Well crafted, fun, many different ways to play it. It's a great idea that lends itself well to Sonic. If we're count fangames that emulate Classic, then my true personal favorite is Triple Trouble 16-Bit. Racing Fang to the Emerald, having to hit boosts, dodge his attacks, hit him back, all of it incredibly frantic and keeping you on your toes. The Fang races are so great that when I got the last Emerald I was disappointed that I couldn't keep doing them.

Mania if you count it. CD otherwise, especially in the Taxman port.

>>850 >I don't see why not Probably because it didn't come out during the classic era

>>1645 i might be crazy but i feel like the special stages are easier in the original than the taxman version
