The player should unravel the story of the planet through exploratory gameplay. Ruins/remnants of civilization hold useful items and slowly reveal the story, villain, and stakes. Completing the game should feel like a relief, like escaping a trap.

Good luck!

I've never liked 3d Metroid, it's not the same game

I need to copy and paste this message and send it to most of the apps I've been using for the past 10 years lol

This is how I feel about Magic Arena, I only go on to play like 3 garbage games of Magic and get my gold coins for the day

Consoles were made as a vehicle to sell games in an era when people didn't have cell phones, chrome books, tablets, and 100 other devices that can at this point run 75% of existing games. Exclusivity is lonnng gone. Console relevance has never been lower. Perfect timing Valve lol

Isabelle from Animal Crossing. Not only can she fight (Smash Bros), she can drive (Mario Kart), and most importantly because I don't need a bodyguard for anything because I'm not being attacked she's a great assistant and an awesome neighbor to hang with

EA would be interested if they could turn it into a Sims expansion pack and get 14.99 for it lol otherwise I think the colossal failure of the reboot banished everyone on the team into the shadow realm

I'm just working off memory, but I think you can play the original SimCity via browser? I think archive.org might have it as well

Yeah 100%, there's so many easy ways to do this, the fact that this is a story is wild

I'm baffled that "we can't figure out how to write a new Bond" is even a story. There's no professional writer in the world that can't come up with five extremely plausible ways to bring him back, I suspect this is some goofy executive trying to figure out how writing works

There is often a gap between new devs who are too good for beginner tutorials, but not quite good enough to develop something on their own. I find Game Jams fill this gap beautifully, small projects you can do frequently help build the stamina you need to tackle a big project

This looks WILD, this might be an insta-buy
