For your entire life, the villagers have thought you to be a witch. It isn't your fault that you happen to be smart! Ah well, that doesn't matter: What they think is their reality. Either way, they're tired of you. So tired, in fact, that they wanna watch you burn in Hell. How lovely!

Being a living, breathing human, you decide to run away. To where? Who knows. All you know is you feel bad that your girlfriend's coming along for the ride. Even if she seems unusually happy about it.

You and your husband decide to go on a road trip. A very long road trip, at that. Then the two of you stop off at a gas station because of your random cravings. Shenanigans ensue from there!!!

Neither of you two know how much your actions are gonna change the course of so many people's lives...

"It'll be fun," you said when you decided to go on a cruise ship. "It'll be easy," you said, when you decided to relax for once in your life. But of course... because this is YOUR mind numbing life, it isn't that fun or easy.

After a little mishap at sea, you find yourself in the home of a strange sea lady. She seems pretty welcoming, but there's something really fishy about her...

Also a handful of other visual novels that have already been given away and some of their soundtracks

 

Let's go on the treasure hunt through the skies of the world! The ultimate "Psikyo Shooter"!

GUNBIRD 2 is a vertical-scrolling shooter game that first appeared in arcades in 1998.

A comical story about the "magical potion" from ancient times. You can see the dialogue demos that unfold during the intermission and when the boss appears, and the dialogue between the characters that changes when the 2 players mode.

New systems has been added, making score attacks even more fun!

  • Little great wizard "MARION"
  • Flying honors student "TAVIA" from Germany
  • Lone vampire "ALUCARD" from Romania
  • Military robot "VALPIRO" from Russia
  • Obese body "HEI-COB"from Arabia
  • Naked samurai "???"
  • Power up with "P" items, with sub-weapons also added.
  • Get bombs with the "B" item to wipe out enemy bullets and evade your foes!
  • Unleash the super shot to take down your enemies! Risky, but a high-powered, use the close range attack!
  • 7 levels of difficulty can be selected for beginners.
  • Now players can really test out their skills with a "HARD" and "VERY HARD" mode. We're looking for recruits who are up for the test.
  • Local rankings will support all difficulty levels and your own planes.
  • The vertical screen mode that allows you to play in arcade style like back in the day.
  • Select the screen filter from the normal +2 version.
  • You can set the number of lives from 1 to 9 and the number of continues from 0 to unlimited.
  • Assign "Shot", "Auto Shot" and "Bomb" in the key configuration. The vertical screen mode can be operated in the horizontal mode as well! Now enjoy a completely different gameplay.
 

What is this?

An open source, moddability-focused Android and Desktop remake of Civ V, made with LibGDX

Is this any good?

Depends what you're looking for. If you're in the market for high-res graphics, amazing soundtracks, animations etc, I highly recommend Firaxis's Civ-V-like game, "Civilization V".

If you want a small, fast, moddable, FOSS, in-depth 4X that can still run on a potato, you've come to the right place :)

For the price of free it still seems worth giving it a go, good to go in with low expectations though

Does that work? I always assumed games with DRM wouldn't work if they couldn't authenticate to your Steam account.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

Ah that's a shame, luck of the draw with one-person projects though, eh?

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

Simple explanation: if you have one console full of fond childhood memories then of course that's the one you consider to be the best!

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 14 points 2 days ago (6 children)

You can still play them on your GameCube or Wii though, or take copies of the discs and play them on anything that runs Dolphin

FYI if seems you can access older versions of Steam games, it's just a bit hacky

I think it's been the threadiverse (i.e. the subset of the fediverse with threaded comment chains) since before facebook's "threads" was even a thing.

OK, just making sure you're aware that the reason everyone is talking about gatcha games is because they're the ones that you brought up!

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

How many of the mobile games that you specifically mentioned aren't gatcha games?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 6 points 3 days ago

Fingers crossed!

Decades have passed and the Actress, Ella, returns to the abandoned theater to uncover a preserved collection of extraordinary performances. Explore a variety of magical, hand-painted worlds as you collect the lost pieces of the past.

When they were young, the Actress and the Director were full of dreams and ambitions. Decades later, the Actress returns to the theater, to once more become the performer, the audience, and the muse.

With each play you will explore a new, incredible scenography, fully painted in VR. Each performance tells the story of different characters, with individual gameplay mechanics and a unique closure.

To separate the performances from the real world and put the stress on their artistic nature, we decided to reach for new, creative methods of graphic design. The plays' segments of the game are painted using virtual reality technology. Exchanging traditional 3D modeling for painterly strokes and splatters granted us more expressive freedom in shaping the artistic vision of the Director.
