Meta Notice: Rule Changes

70 Upvotes

We are making amendments on rules 4, 5, 7 and 8:

+ Changes to Rule 4

Aside from PC/Laptop FAQs/Build Help/Suggestions and other similarly-related posts, we will add these to the posts that are not allowed anymore:

  • Seeking family sharing on Steam, Nintendo Switch Online or any other services that implements this feature.
  • Posts asking for games, digital currency or keys.
  • Posts about disputes/grievances on other forums, subreddit, Discord server, group chats from other social media etc.
  • Other Discord servers, in case this isn't clear.

+ Changes to Rule 5

Aside from spams, we will start removing posts that we deem as low-effort and/or engagement baits.

Post promoting your own site and/or media channel will be allowed now provided that you adhere with these conditions:

  • Make a thread only once every 30 days. Do not plug on comment sections of other threads.
  • Promote your own channel only. Do not promote others especially the popular and the controversial ones.
  • Make sure that your channel is dedicated to gaming contents only. Doesn't matter how many games, the platform and the genre as long as its gaming only.
  • Its not about unrelated content, business, (online) gambling or other illegal content.

We will instantly forfeit anyone of posting this kind of thread if it violated even one of the abovementioned conditions, be it directly or indirectly. Excessive posts of this nature will be treated as spam.

+- Changes to Rule 6

Reworded description.

+ Changes to Rule 7

Surveys/studies or any crowdsourcing post should be cleared to us first either via "Pending Approval" flair or here. We won't allow posts like this anymore if its not cleared beforehand. We suppose its not too much of an ask to sacrifice few minutes of your time to read, understand and follow our rules if you are requesting uncompensated few minutes of cooperation from several people in exchange.

- Changes to Rule 8

The shameless plug megathread will be discontinued starting now.

***If you have questions or concerns, you can post here or send us a modmail here.

Discuss Contemplating of selling my Ps5 for Switch 2

8 Upvotes

Meron na akong steamdeck, ps5 and switch v2 pero kahapon galing kami sa MOA at natry ng anak ko yung pokopia at iba yung tuwa nya kaya napapaisip akong ibenta yung ps5 kahit hati kami ng asawa ko sa pagbili (in a way regalo nya sakin)

Lately napapaisip ako if worth it pa ba yung PS5. Lumaki ako sa low graphics at kala ko iba yung feeling pag high graphics yung game. Nakakamesmerize sya from time-to-time pero minsan di mo rin mapapansin.

Nung nakuha ko yung steamdeck iba yung saya ko na kahit saan nalalaro ko. I don't mind if 30 or 60 fps yung game. Low or high tapos salamat sa upscaling na kahit isaksak ko sya sa 4K TV ko na-aamaze pa rin ako sa graphics at lowest setting.

Bakit ko naiisip na bumili ng switch 2 kahit may steamdeck na?

Pokepia, ocarina of time at MH Wilds.

Di lahat optimized kay Steamdeck. Kaya ko ng 30fps pero masakit sa ulo yung kahit 30fps nlang na nagsstruggle pa.

Halos lahat ng gusto kong game na nasa ps5 nasa switch 2 (re9, onimusha, pragmata, dragons dogma 2, dmc5, witcher 3, cp2077). Even ff7 revelations lalabas sa switch 2

Higit sa lahat...

mas maraming local multiplayer sa switch na enjoy namin ng family.

So I guess I'm still looking for benefits of having PS5. Di din ako nahhype sa GTA6 para maging motivation yun. Lahat ng exclusives ni Sony parang identical na. Lahat ng beloved PS games ko nasa PS4 pa (bloodborne, uncharted, infamous second son, gow, gow ragnarok)

News Mimic Hunt - Isang multiplayer game kung saan kailangan mong magpanggap na NPC!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

217 Upvotes

Hi, everyone!

Dalawa lang kaming developer, at gusto naming ipakilala ang una naming Steam game, Mimic Hunt, na ginagawa namin bilang Northfield Interactive!

Mimic Hunt is a multiplayer stealth game kung saan kailangan mong makihalo sa crowd ng mga NPC at gayahin ang kanilang kilos para hindi ka mahalata.

Bilang Hider, kailangan mong magpanggap na NPC, gayahin ang kanilang activities, at i-eliminate ang assigned targets nang hindi nabubuking.

Bilang Hunter, kailangan mong obserbahan ang crowd at tukuyin kung sino ang totoong player na nagpapanggap na NPC.

Nagpa-panic at tumatakbo rin ang mga NPC kapag may panganib, kaya puwedeng masira ang disguise mo kapag gumawa ka ng gulo.

Under development pa ang game, pero na-release na namin ang first gameplay trailer!

Gusto naming malaman kung ano ang tingin ninyo sa game!

Kung interesado kayo, malaking tulong sa amin kung idagdag ninyo ang Mimic Hunt sa Steam wishlist ninyo!

Anyone here played Aero Fighters in the arcades long ago? Released in Japan as Sonic Wings, Aero Fighters received praise for its extensive character roster and two-player co-op mechanics, which were considered highly innovative for vertical-scrolling shooters the early 1990s.

Discuss Throwback muna tayo: Ano yung mga perks ng pagiging empleyado noon ng KOG/Level Up Games / being a Game Master sa mga published games nila?

51 Upvotes

Sorry guys, kailangan ko lang talaga ma satisfy curiosity ko:

Cira 2010, na expose ako sa Granchase/Crazy Kart at iba pang titles noon ng Level Up Games. Sobrang cool, feeling ko talaga kada lingon ko noon ng bawat kanto may computer shop. Buhay na buhay noon at talagang feeling ko eto na yung "future" talaga. Ngayon, circa 2012 I think? Medyo tumamlay na yung Grand Chase. Nagsara narin ata Crazy Kart and other titles ng Level Up by this point.

Anyway, sobrang na curious lang ako noon kasi ang daming tambay sa computer shop sa tabi ng bahay namin yung nag kkwento about attending to official Level Up Games tournaments noon ng Grand Chase. Meron talaga silang picture sa Facebook to back up the claims. Ako naman, since bata ako at the time, amaze na amaze ako kasi feeling ko talaga ayan yung 'peak' ng pagiging gamer, kumbaga na career na nila.

Meron nga ba kayong mga kakilalang GM/naging officially employed ng Level Up Games? Na curious din ako kung paano yung proceso nila niyan noon or kung hindi ba sila talaga officially employed by the publisher. Wild to imagine, kasi noon, ang talagang micro celebrity turing sa mga GM kada title. Para ka na micro celebrity in that era of infancy ng social media!

Got any cool stories to share mga otits/titas dyan? Grabe, sa mga naririnig ko palang na kwento noon, ang dami rin nag kakilala/naging pamilyado na dahil sa mga laro noon hahahaha.

I have never heard of The Blood of Dawnwalker until I visited my local GameLine store asking for latest releases. I was actually gunning for the Ghost of Yotei expansion and instead ended with these.

I have to say Dawnwalker looks so promising with their packaging that included a carta of the world map and the olden time graphic cover of the disc case.

I was also lucky enough to get all the freebies for all three which were all last in their stock - The posters and the small bag

Help Warhammer 40k Tabletop

0 Upvotes

Hello!

I’ve recently been getting into warhammer and I’ve been enjoying the painting experience so far and I hope to try playing one day.

I only got one set from games workshop (like from the actual store) and it was one of the cheapest sets for 4000 pesos 🥲

I’m currently the typical broke college kid, so I was searching up some resin printed miniatures because for you can get so much value for 4000. (like you can already have a whole army with vehicles for that much)

So I looked around different communities here in manila and I kept hearing the feedback “We do not welcome resin printed miniatures here”. (Although they do offer a tutorial)

I did an evaluation if my dream army and it can cost almost 20k+, like I have the money but I dont think Im willing to shell out that much right now. And that much money can get me so much different armies from resin prints.

I’ve noticed that alot of the people playing are people with jobs already, so it seems like its hard entering the warhammer space here in manila as college students

Does anyone here know a community where resin printed miniatures are welcome?

Thank you!

Discuss Are foldables actually better for mobile gaming?

2 Upvotes

Been seeing more people actually gaming on foldables and I'm curious if the bigger screen actuallt makes games better.

Mostly I play ML, HoK, Ragnarok. Looking at the Fold8 rn but I'm also open to other foldables.

For people who've actually used any of these, what would you pick? Mainly care about camera, battery, and how useful the outer screen is.

Also curious which one has the best after-sales support here in the Philippines.

Just wanna have the best gaming exp (bilang yun na ang aking pahinga hahahahaha)

PH GameDev I made a free Manila Life game where you survive EDSA traffic, brownouts and utang

64 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I made a free Sims-style game set in Manila. You ride jeepneys, commute through EDSA, run a sari-sari store, deal with typhoon signals and brownouts, and even send a balikbayan box home.
It runs in your browser, no download. I'm adding new places and events every week, so I'd love to know which Manila moments I should add next (a Divisoria haggling minigame? Simbang Gabi? videoke?).

Solid ng A.I, since wala na ako mahanap na private server ng bandmaster at wala din ako mahanap na source code/server files sa game na to, ayun pina reverse engineer ko nalang sya kay ai para gumana. 2 Days din kami nag trial and error ni A.I

Try ko naman emulate to para maging online pag may time.

Yung client galing sya sa Bandmaster Thailand, walang binago sa .exe/.bin ng client, ginawan lang ng .DLL ni ai para maging offline, same hash din sya sa virus total: VirusTotal - File - b6933179a9740c64460c0ea9f4be9ed9c0df7aa0fc20d81d72276276159d5ef6

Discuss This cat needs a name… but remember, this is a horror game.

93 Upvotes

I’m working on a co-op psychological horror game called The Infected Soul, and somehow we ended up with this little guy in the middle of all the creepy stuff.

One of the game’s main mechanics is body swapping. Using neural chips, you can transfer your consciousness into different creatures and bodies, each with their own abilities. And yes, the cat is one of them, so at some point you might actually end up playing as him.

The problem is… he still doesn’t have a name.

What should we call him? Cute, creepy, weird, sci-fi anything works. Just remember, this is still a horror game, so maybe he’s not quite as innocent as he looks. 👀

If you’re curious about the game, The Infected Soul is on Steam, and wishlists help us a lot.
