1·1 month agoAnyone have any ideas as to why it might not be generating thumbnail previews when creating a post? I checked and Kickstarter and Youtube are doing OpenGraph correctly, so there seems to be something else going on.
I’m down! As long as they work their way to “E.T. Rising”
I didn’t get to posting about it, but I saw last week the announcement about “Beyond the Ice Palace 2”, which is the metroidvania sequel to a 1988 Amiga game. Bizarre that now is the time to cash in on the social capital these two games have built up over the years 🤷🏼
I bought it after the positive reviews and have only been able to get to the city after the prologue, so you’re already farther than myself. But part of why I put it down was because it felt too soon to introduce this reprieve from the Metroidvania gameplay loop.
I have every faith that it’ll “get to the good stuff”, but I did have a similar feeling to you. I’m going to give it another hour in a bit.
There’s a demo on Steam
3·3 months agoI love it. Funniest play I’ve seen in a long time.
Maybe it would’ve been better if he had made the shot, but give them something to laugh about, some excitement.
…my god. Did he hit his head on the rim?!
I haven’t played it, but I hear really good things about this retro-3D metroidvania called Pseudoregalia
They slipped the release date to April 5, 2024
I don’t know if you played Laika: Aged Though Blood, but I’m curious out the biking mechanic compares. (Also had a killer sound-track, albeit a very different tone/style)
FYI: c/metroidvanias
Love both, and very excited for their next game, No Rest for the Wicked - which I don’t know if it’s been said explicitly, but is rumored to also be a Metroidvania.
I know it might be a little cliché, but I would still rank Hollow Knight as my #1 Metroidvania, but these two are my #2A and #2B, even after loving the new Prince of Persia. The level of polish is incredible and Wisps just cranked it up even more.
I enjoyed the video the IGN posted about them yesterday.
1·4 months agoJust saw it in the update. Thank you!!
I don’t know, but I have a feeling it doesn’t. He just pushed a blog post on it and I’m reading it now
They have private/internal APIs that they get grumpy at you for using because you can circumvent ads. The goal with this app was to not make Google grumpy.
EDIT: got to the answer - no.
Does it block ads? It doesn’t, I don’t think Google would like that, but if you have YouTube Premium you won’t see ads, just like the website. Honestly, YouTube Premium is like one of the most essential subscriptions for me, it’s so handy to never worry about ads and it’s pretty cool in that it also supports the creators substantially more than if you watched ads. So I dunno, if you can afford an expensive Apple Vision Pro, I’d really consider treating yourself to YouTube Premium!
I don’t know how to write this that doesn’t come off as defensive, but… Yes, the guy who’s dying to create a community on here around Metroidvanias and is the only person to make posts in c/metroidvania for 55 posts is a corporate shill for Ubisoft.
5·6 months agoI didn’t know about the challenges with the Eastside extension, but I’m glad they’re partially opening. I can’t believe they still don’t have NFC tapping with phones. I know bureaucracy is tough, but they misjudged the demand and their priorities.
Could you share more details on the “better video handling” so I know what to test for? Is it specific platforms were added to auto play? Or is it reducing bugs when playing? Etc.
I’m excited to test it out. Thanks!
What are the conflicts?
I loved the demo for this game and while there aren’t many reviews out, the ones that are are really positive.
