(Will) Rascal Recess Indie Game 🛝

Yes, exactly. I normally would agree with @raphlife.bsky.social but I think ARC Raiders is actually a unique case where there are deep game-play implications if a full PvE only mode was added. The normal game as a byproduct would probably become 100% shoot-on-sight.

What I think this debate highlights is how the general audience is actually just desperate for quality made games with a unique vision / ip

If we are just talking PvE only events (like a map modifier) I think that is a little different. But, my worry would be adding PvE only maps events would make "normal" PvPvE maps more hostile. And pose some questions about power scaling loot.

Well, now you are making me elaborate on an impulse post 😅

I think players wanting a PvE only version of the game want a different game. Something with similar aesthetics + game loop + deeper player vs arc/environment interactions.

I think the entire game would need to be rebalanced for PvE only

I think what makes the game special is that it is a microcosm of human interactions. The frustration of being robbed by a player makes a successful extraction weighty.

Imo, removing PvP is the first step of designing a totally different game.

(I love The Long Dark btw!)

Seeing people complaining about Arc Raiders not having a PvE only mode is a constant reminder the average player has no idea what they want from a game

Omg I love this vibe

Whoa looks awesome

Some screenshots from my game ! 😁
Can't wait to release it now that I announced the date

I am very excited for this!!!

Ideally you could be compensated for the time you put into the feed without ads - but we don't live in an ideal world. I appreciate your labor. If ads need to happen to support your work - so be it. Sounds like you already figured out the main issues of labeling ads and % of ads in the feed so 👍

Sorry I haven't posted at all about my personal #gamedev work. I have been very busy focusing on my friends and family and my own health because of *broadly gestures*

What about 3?

Looks great!!!

incredible work 🦀🦀

Thanks for playing!!! Hope you enjoyed the holidays!

After two months of waiting finally my #playdate is arriving tonight 🥹

Oh hell yeah 🔥 ❄️

All I hear when I read these types of posts is "PLEASE DONT MAKE ME IMPROVE MYSELF PLEASE ITS UNCOMFORTABLE". Sorry folks, improving yourself is often just uncomfortable.

(We can upload GIFs as videos now!!!)

Fin-ally back to working on Fish Heaven after taking December off. Here's some purdy distance fog applied indiscriminately to everything.

Terrain is placeholder, too detailed for perf. Working on vertex color interpolation / texturing and a lower-poly model.

it's incredible 🥲

Fortnight crashing seconds before my first win of the year. This better not be an omen 😡

Wishing all my fellow game devs a happy and healthy new year. Rest up, y'all deserve it ❤️ #indiegamedev

I now feel extremely guilty for the sins I have committed against my sim children 😭

This seems genuinely really bad. There is no way this is good for anyone's mental health, let alone children.

A relatable vibe

Don't tell my mom that I am now playing with fire (shaders)... in a forest 🤫
