Only partly related:

I get the feeling that unity is gonna become the next flash. Shitty, overbloated, closed source, and full of security holes. Games in 10 years will be playable only through a 2nd party "unity emulator" that safely executes them so your pc doesn't immediately begin mining doge coin.

At least I've seen a lot more godot games recently. Even if they insist that is isn't "go dot" and is Fr*nch. Also godot games are a lot easier to reverse engineer. Makes translation/modding a LOT easier if a dummy like me can do it.

I’m confused by this. I don’t get how these types of hacks work with an offline single player game. Where is the attack entrance vector for a hacker? Like sure if your computer got hacked through a coffee shop’s public WiFi or something, but my home network isn’t actually a high profile target. Or if I get malware from the web. But that point I have bigger problems than playing an unpatched unity engine game I feel lol.

It is unintentionally just adding to the artistic themes here.

Even if I hate it.

This is real? Like, really real?

The title screen ad is apparently (i'm not reinstalling DE to find out) but the JamrockBozo guy's image is a joke

[–] doleo@lemmy.one 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I mean it would be on the periphery of believability; that they'd add dialogue to a full-voiced scene. But at this point, I have to ask.

I could see those fuckers using AI to make slop advertisement voiceover lines lol

[–] GiorgioBoymoder@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago

great question because this is too good as ragebait.

It can’t be real. This has to be a bit

[–] git@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

Don’t worry, it is (for now?).

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 29 points 4 days ago

Amazing.

So glad I live in this wondrous time we live in

joyce-messier did the critique capital end up reinforcing it instead?

Maybe hot take but I'm still interested in Zero Parades, despite ZA/UM being stolen. A CRPG about a spy who is a burn out is extremely my shit and it's one of the few studios that have unionized.

Please pirate it then.

And ideally don't talk about it (i.e. promote it)...

If it's just a title screen banner for a game by the "same studio" then that barely even qualifies as advertising lol. They're not being paid to insert ads for dick pills or something

I'm assuming the in-game thing isn't real (even if it is, it'd just be a cheeky little easter egg).

But like every game I've played will have a title screen message if the same studio publishes a new game
