Hello everyone!

After years of making stuff in Godot, my partner finally sat down to make a proper game for a release. And I'm happy to share it here (as she doesn't use Lemmy much)!

The game is a survival horror with an emphasis on open exploration and puzzle-solving - all while something is hiding in the woods. It relies fairly heavily on sound so I (as a beta tester who stubbornly played w/o them) strongly recommend headphones. There's also ambient mode (no monster) if you're scared or something.

 

A Day To Remember is a short Visual Novel starring two girls named Rain and Aino.

You play as Aino wanting to confess her feelings for rain after being around her for so many years.

Both haven't had much time together cause of adult life, can they strengthen their bond again like old times and maybe become something more? or will they remain friends and not end up together in the end.

either way, for everyone this will be A Day To Remember

 

Explore a forgotten galaxy full of different planets, venture deeper into the planet to mine for rare resources, craft items to fix your ship, and discover ancient secrets and life forms. It is an exploration (survival) game like no other.. Adventure awaits!

Residual... a new breed of survival platformer from OrangePixel.

In a forgotten galaxy full of strange planets, a lone explorer crash-lands on one with an ancient alien secret. Venture forth from the shipwreck across a harsh, unpredictable, procedurally generated world. Harvest food and make campfires to stay alive. Craft science-fiction survival tools like teleporters and mining devices. Unearth alien technology capable of repairing the ship. Hunger, cosmic storms, hostile plant life, and the mysterious ooze are among the many obstacles you'll face.

You won't be alone! PDB (a snarky floating Personal Disaster Bot) will follow and assist you along the way. Sometimes. PDB also helps you discover the hidden lore, revealing the history of the planet as you explore deeper and deeper, assuming you can survive!

OrangePixel’s uniquely designed Nature Engine generates thousands of planets from a vast set of environment-based rules, then drops explorers on a world brimming with potential. If a planet orbits close to the sun, intense heat, high winds, and sparse vegetation will pose a set of challenges wildly different from other worlds. Further from the sun, long nights make stamina easier to maintain, but reduced solar power turns every suit's function, like scanning the planet, into a critical decision.

Residual welcomes players to a non-violent survival experience with limitless possibilities and no traditional combat. Jump and descend through colorful, highly detailed pixel art evoking classic 2D platformers. Solve light puzzles to reveal secrets of a long-lost civilization. Select a male, female, or non-binary protagonist, customize survival parameters like how fast time advances, and race to repair the ship, dig up ancient secrets, or collect data entries on hundreds of undiscovered objects.

I don't think that thumbnail is doing them any favours

Not one that you like too much, your brain will start associating it with a call instead of the song whenever you hear it elsewhere!

Set sail into the Lunar New Year with Tempest, a pirate action RPG where danger, treasure, and legend await on the open seas. Command your own ship, engage in thrilling naval battles, hunt sea monsters, and explore a vast world filled with rival pirates, hidden loot, and deadly storms. Upgrade your vessel, choose your path, and forge your destiny as a feared captain in this high-seas adventure.

Hey Captain! Now that you’ve got the Jolly Roger fluttering in the wind over your ship, you’re ready to rove the seas, take on merchant ships loaded with booty and storm formidable fortresses. Set sail and get your hands on all those legendary treasures that are just waiting for the picking!

When we created Tempest, we focused on the most thrilling part of pirate life – sea battles. As you navigate the dangerous waters of the game you won’t just catch up with merchants, but you will encounter fellow pirates, creepy followers of a mysterious cult and terrible mythical monsters: Kraken, Leviathan and other infamous creatures.

Your ship – the pride and joy of any freebooter – can be customized in many ways. You are free to change almost everything – from the color of your flag and sails to the ship’s hull and figurehead.

Of course, there are plenty of weapons to choose from for every battle, including cannons, mortars, flame throwers and so on. Also there are special tools ready to help you to rig the ship for any purpose. However, you can win the most valuable artifacts only by finishing the multilevel quests called “legends”.

  • Always something to do - Three regions, dozens of islands, hundreds of quests!
  • Free roam - Limitless sailing in real time - use Global Map only if you want to!
  • Pirate cooperation - Share the world of Tempest between you and your friends. Pirate, trade and do quests together, or declare war to each other and watch the ocean burn!
  • Pure singleplayer - Want to be a lone sea wolf? Multiplayer is only an option, the game is originally designed for singleplayer mode.
  • Seafarer’s adventures - Buy ships, upgrade your ships, decorate your ships!
  • Being a pirate: Marketer or Racketeer? - Buy something cheap and sell it at a higher price… Or plunder galleons, sink warships, destroy forts!
  • Fight huge monsters - Kraken’s sea-friends are waiting for you!
  • Not only cannons - Use mystical crystals to escape the enemy’s cannonballs, bring down meteorites onto your opponent or call a huge octopus to your aid!
  • Create a great, loyal crew - Level up your pirates, let them grow from sailor boys to skilled old salts!

Dinner if it's hot, lunch/tea if it's cold, supper if you're in an Enid Blyton story.

It did seem very strange that as soon as they'd got out of f1 (again) they were immediately pulled back in (again). This is Honda though, flip-flopping on being in f1 is the name of their game.

Rogue Malfunction is a puzzle adventure where you control a robot struggling against an external system trying to override its inputs. Each room is a self-contained puzzle, and on first entry the game remaps certain controls, forcing the player to adapt to movement that can’t be fully trusted.

Each puzzle room remaps your movement in unpredictable ways. What once made you move forward might now send you backward. What was left becomes right. The further you go, the more your own controls betray you.

The room is your enemy. Rogue Malfunction remaps WASD as you progress, turning basic movement into the core obstacle. Each puzzle is about learning the room’s layout, timing your moves around its traps, and adapting fast when your controls stop behaving the way you expect.

For d&d? https://2014.5e.tools/dmscreen.html on my laptop along with my spreadsheet of notes.

For something less rules-y? Maybe a PDF of the rules, or multiple copies if I need quick reference to several places.

Oh weird, must just not be showing up for me

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 1 points 6 days ago (3 children)

It's not giving the usual "normally costs X" message on the install page, sure this isn't a forever freebie?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 35 points 6 days ago (3 children)

The best open source Video Calling alternative to Discord is Element. It's not free, so if you're looking for a free alternative, you could try Element

I'm not particularly confident about the quality of this page!

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

Supposedly developers get a flat fee for being the weekly freebie, so the money has already changed hands regardless of whether you download it or not
