They've never made a comment either, which is not exactly normal human behaviour

I think you've answered your own question

I've got a sort of "gamer's breastfeeding pillow", basically a chunky inflatable half-hexagon which works pretty well

LastHope is a tower defense video game where you control a character in a Hazard suit. You must build a base and defend it from hordes of zombies intent on devouring your brains and those of your subordinates.

Build your base

Using four types of structures, you must develop your base's logistics:

  • Build catapults aimed to the left or right. These require rocks as ammunition and manual reloading by you or your subordinates.
  • Build walls to block the zombies' advance toward your center and protect structures.
  • Build campfires to add new spaces for gathering and storing resources, increasing your logistical capacity.
  • Build tents to attract survivors who can automate tasks and help you defend the base.

Survive the hordes.

After a while, a horde of zombies will arrive. The first waves will be weak and will come every minute, but as time passes, more and more zombies will come with each wave, causing the game to escalate rapidly.

Until your base collapses.

Eventually, your base will collapse, and it will be sooner rather than later, making this game ideal for 15-20 minute sessions.

Play with your friends.

Although designed as a single-player experience, the game can be played as a "Couch Co-op" with up to 8 players using a controller.

In development.

This game is in active development. I work on it when I can because I don't have much free time. Currently, the game features:

  • 17 types of enemies.
  • 2 special events.
  • 3 bosses.
  • 2 type of NPC.
  • 4 types of structures.
  • 11 different items.
  • 3 materials.
  • 3 tools.
  • 1 car.
  • 4 firearms.
 

Nova Lands is a factory building, exploration, and island management game. Explore, engage in combat, and automate your industry. The planet you’re on is full of mysteries, creatures, people, and things to do. Welcome to your new home amongst the stars!

If you were to mix Factorio, Forager, and Satisfactory, Nova Lands would be just that. Explore, build, and automate your base in this awesome, open-world 2D game!

New planet, new home. Build your new base with all sorts of resources available to you, from basic rocks and wood to rare and unknown materials. Unlock new possibilities with every new building, maximize efficiency, and push deeper to other islands.

As you progress through the game, you will be able to automate more and more things, freeing up more time to explore! Your little helper bots will be instrumental in helping you do that.

The bots are the tipping point where your ingenuity will begin to shine. These little self-sufficient machines can form entire production chains and sustain your industry all on its own. They’re easy to set up and manage.

Just like you’re not the only person to land on this planet, your started island is one of many! Kickstart your industry to get all the tech you need and comfortably explore other islands. You’ll come across various biomes, creatures, landmarks, caves, and some really important people…

Of course, there’s a blaster you can fire, and critters large enough to be a real menace! Engage in combat and gather rare materials, or, go the full pacifist route and remain a kind guest to this planet - even when boss creatures are concerned. Be prepared to offer valuables to make peace with them, however.

 

A chaotic multiplayer card-roulette game about bluffing, betrayal, risky choices, and surviving one more trigger pull.

Sit down, draw your cards, watch your opponents, and decide who gets the next shot. Every blank is hope. Every live round is fate.

By "tap to pay" do you just mean contactless payments? They do work, just not via Google Pay. I'm using something called "Curve Pay" which seems to work perfectly (and it's now owned by Lloyd's Bank in the UK so it's not like its some random company I'm trusting). I believe there are other third party providers, apparently the PayPal app works but only if you're in Germany.

Or just tape your card to the back of your phone for the simplest solution.

Tattuga Bay was once the center of the tattoo scene, but today, almost all parlors are closed. You take over the last remaining tattoo shop and turn it into a thriving business, while making friends or enemies with other local characters, from quirky customers and troubled tattoo artists to the city's most influential businessman, "the Tycoon".

THINK INK

Go all out on the interior design of your parlor. Get new furniture and make your rooms look fresh to attract more customers. Talk to them to find out what they really like and what topics to avoid. Only then can you offer them a tattoo design they cannot refuse.

You'll need a steady hand to get ink into skin without hurting your customers (too much) in the process. Beauty is pain, but the happier they are with your work, the bigger the tip.

NIGHT AND DAY

Time is money. You choose when to open and close your shop, deciding how to use your limited time and energy to face each day's new challenges.

Hone your skills and styles, hire new employees, and handle the day-to-day operations of a tattoo artist.

TAILORED TO EACH CUSTOMER

Everyone has their own unique interests. You'll need a variety of tattoo designs, decorations, and tattoo-related products like skincare, t-shirts, and posters. People might also want coffee, a cold drink, some snacks, and comfortable seating while waiting for their turn to get a tattoo.

A PERSONAL STORY

You create and customize your own character in Tattoo Tycoon and build personal relationships with those around you. Learn about their issues and help them earn your trust.

While launching marketing campaigns to promote your art can help, personal connections and word-of-mouth are just as vital for making a name in the tattoo world. And only the most renowned artists can enter the most prestigious tattoo competition: Ink-Vasion!

  • Create your own character and experience a unique story.
  • Manage every aspect of being an aspiring tattoo artist, entrepreneur, and shop manager.
  • Choose from many tattoo parlors in a vibrant city and take it to the top, or change locations as often as you like. Each neighborhood offers its own perks and challenges!
  • Customize and specialize your parlor with advanced tattoo equipment, interactive features, and a wide array of decorations and furniture.
  • Unlock over 100 unique tattoo designs, attract new customers, cater to different target groups, and improve your tattooing skills.
  • Tattoo your clients, but be careful: Understanding the preferences of different target groups is essential for choosing the perfect tattoo design.
  • From tattoo artists to receptionists, hire a team for your tattoo parlor and make it truly your own.

It's already been free on Epic through Amazon Prime, but here it is for everyone else

 

A fun shooter where you shoot the enemies and try to survive as long as possible

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 8 points 3 days ago

I think some people want the idea of a service that's absolutely perfect, and anything with any flaw is just as bad as the actual bad thing. The likes of Signal and Proton aren't perfect, but they're so much better than the big tech defaults that the only ones benefiting from people shitting on them are the corpos we're trying to get away from!

More power to you if you can get all your friends to switch to the optimal self-hosted FOSS solution, but don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

 

What is Princess Farmer?

Princess Farmer is a match3 puzzle and visual novel game with easy to learn action mechanics and different playstyles that let you breeze through the game or challenge you. All three of the playstyles earn you rewards! The story is played in episodes, much like magical-girl anime, with each lasting between 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your chosen playstyle, your skills, and whether you decide to skip dialogue interactions. Different level goals keep you on your toes and bring a fresh approach to the match3 genre.

Story

Princess Farmer was just an ordinary farmer when one day she woke up under the Gaia Tree. Now through the magic of Mother Gaia, she can hoist up whole rows of veggies with ease to make matches and smash obstacles by herself, in co-op, or even with an AI companion! Something mysterious is happening in the woods and it's your job to puzzle your way to uncover it! You'll learn about the world around you as you talk and build relationships with the loveable characters including: Mother Gaia, Garlic, Shoppe Keeper Rowan, and even Bot Bunny!

Action Puzzle Gameplay

It may look like Princess Farmer plays like modern match-3 games but it’s much more strategic and reaction-based, tasking you with character movement and stack management. You can choose to adjust how you approach your strategy to maximize matches, combos, and smashes. Personalize your playstyle: are you an Action Bunny, a Puzzle Bunny, or a Balance between the two? Level goals range from simple to challenging. Some levels will pit you up against a opponent But watch out for storms! That's when Grumpy Block shows up to spoil all your harvesting fun!

Play with a Friend

Sure harvesting is fun by yourself, but why not invite a friend? You can harvest together and even make dialogue choices together as you explore the world.

Collect Unlockables

As you play, you'll earn Heart Coins which you can give to Ro at the Shoppe to collect different Hare Dyes. Charm the characters with dialogue options to unlock new outfits so you can harvest in style!

Charming Graphics

It's cute! It's bouncy! It's pink! It's retro! It's BUNNIES!

Vibrant Soundtrack

Produced by Astra, the soundtrack is bubbly, blending chiptunes with lo-fi beats. Additional music is by Chloe Hotline, The Crystal Furs, and Anne Beyond the Darkness.

VOXALITE is a physics first voxel destruction sandbox set in a fully infinite, procedurally generated world.Nothing is random, with each voxel based on real world phsyics. Knock out the wrong support and the whole section loses its connection to the ground and comes down piece by piece under simulated gravity, or explode large sections of ground and watch the dirt fly!

Current weapons:

  • Sledgehammer, shotgun, minigun, and railgun for direct destruction
  • RPGs, C4 charges (with a remote detonator), and napalm for longer range
  • A sonic impulse cannon, laser cutter, and gravity gun for more accurate demolition
  • The SUPERNUKE, for when you want the whole map gone at once

Drop in premade structures skyscrapers, castles, suspension bridges, stadiums, radio towers, and more as fresh targets, or use the building tools to construct your own before you blow it up yourself.

Play solo or bring friends. Host a lobby and destroy the world together, or go it alone. A replay system lets you scrub back through anything you just blew up, and a minimap/world map keep you oriented as the terrain streams in around you.

Currently in progress , replay systems are buggy but its still a fun play!

Depends how you read it - is it better on Linux than Windows (a benefit), or is the Windows binary better on Linux than the Linux one (the linked complaint)

Ooo nice, though you'll need to 3D print a bigger box too

I wish more real companies dropped asteroids on their rivals

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 5 points 4 days ago (8 children)

I can't speak for this adaptation to a digital format, but this is a great board game

 

Companies are competing with ingenuity to transform Mars into a habitable planet. Each spends numerous resources and uses innovative technologies to raise the temperature, create a breathable atmosphere, and make the oceans liquid. As terraforming progresses, more and more people will come to settle on the Red Planet from Earth.

In Terraforming Mars, you lead a corporation with unique characteristics. Play Project cards, enhance production, place your cities and green spaces on the map, and compete for rewards and objectives.

  • Reach a high level of Terraforming by increasing the temperature, raising the oxygen level, or creating oceans. Make the planet habitable for future generations!
  • Earn Victory Points by building cities, infrastructures, and other increasingly ambitious projects.
  • Beware: rival corporations will try to slow your progress. That's a beautiful forest you've planted there... It would be a real shame if an asteroid were to suddenly crash into it, don't you think?
 

Edmund Harrt is looking for "the corpsetalker", a government-sponsored sorcerer rumored to have past connections to Edmund's late employer. Edmund thinks he has little to offer in exchange, but he's curious. Will the simple act of appealing for help bring peace to a kind woman's family?

Ash Simmons is a man who excels at getting himself into extraordinary trouble. He is better known for helping people understand the problems they got into themselves. When a delightfully nosy and surprisingly disarming stranger shows up to reconnect him to old friends, he has a blast doing both in own unique way.

How will their first eventful evening together end?

  • Short story around 5k words
  • Dark-fantasy romance with comedic drama
  • Historically based queerness (M/M main characters)
  • Easygoing choices (with the third affecting the ending)
  • Includes a quick minigame / interactive activity

That's the one I was thinking of. It's a slow process, but it does happen.

 

At the turn of the millennium, the world of Tahnra is headed for a reckoning. A long and bloody conflict left the Empire of Veridia scarred. Now a rogue general has abducted the Empress and raised the flag of rebellion. You, a young academy graduate, will command an expedition that sets off a chain of events to shake the very foundations of the world.

Symphony of War is a 2D turn-based strategy RPG with a story-rich 30-40 hour campaign, 50+ character classes, and massive tactical depth. Maneuver squads of up to 9 soldiers across battlefields, grab high ground, hold chokepoints, ambush from the woods, and break the enemy's morale. Outfit your troops with equipment and artifacts, research upgrades through the tech tree, and forge unbreakable bonds with heroes from across the world. Tactics win engagements. Logistics win wars.
