Fortunately the qualifiers aren’t necessary, they’ve hit just over 525k concurrent players this weekend and launch day was still over 300k. They’re the most popular roguelike, deckbuilder, and roguelike-deckbuilder

I like mine! It doesn’t get as much use nowadays (after a lot of use you sometimes have to press the dpad harder to register) but both seasons have some solid games and the sdk is very nice to work with if you’re a developer

Awesome post! Here’s few more kickass soundtracks from the PlayDate Community:

• Angel Pop (game)
• Gun Trails (game)

Yep, 330k concurrent players is no small feat. I wonder if it’ll grow this weekend

Scum

Expected behavior from shady sheehy, all he cares about is himself. The guy lied about being shot so next he’ll probably say actually his hand was broken

Ah apologies then

Yeah it’s veeeery flawed logic for steam. Most people don’t buy games unless they’re on sale, and the only way to make the sales attractive over a long time is to keep raising the discount

Do you actually expect people to read past the headline? All the way to the end too, preposterous!

I guess the “no exclusives” talk got to them, but I think at this point most people that wanted a ps5 already have one

It was free! They wanted to shadow drop it and… magically recreate the multi-million dollar advertising campaign that was Apex Legends

uh huh

Probably for the best, Season 1 was fun and 2 felt like it was faltering. They’re obviously building the main girl up as a bad guy so I’m at least interested to see how that goes

taxpayers 🍾🥳💸🎉

Good point, that’s the strongest aspect of the game! I don’t think bullet drop would add much since the challenge is mostly finding the things, but it would be nice if the scope didn’t disappear while reloading

All six crew ejected safely and have been recovered

Secret Agent Wizard Boy and the International Crime Syndicate updated their beta branch with a new castle layout so I explored that a bit this weekend, it’s bare but has good bones. I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the game fills out the space, especially now that there is a tank

Other than that I’ve mostly been playing the Marathon Server Slam, and it’s fun! The guns feel like Destiny (very good) and the time to kill is short which feels hectic and weighty. This is the first extraction shooter I’ve really tried and I like it! Rounds are usually 5-15 minutes so it’s not too hard to hop on and play a round or two

I tried a few of those demos! Everything is Crab is a neat idea and I’m interested to see how different builds feel, and Sniper Dan is fun enough for a cute hidden picture game. I’d probably like it more if there were bullet drop

I agree, I think it’s a big shift that’s coming too late. One of the staff members posted a long explanation about it that I thought sounded reasonable though, so we’ll see

gestures vaguely at everything
