Step 1: download the app ??? Step 6: discuss war plans with your fellow government officials

I didn't know about Chatbot arena, turns out its a 100% subjective rating system where visitors are asked compare 2 LLMs and vote for the "best" after giving them one prompt and displaying their output side by side (sending more than 2 prompts crashed the page for me). That's a crazy metric to include in your promo material imo.

I like auto-shooter. It makes the connection with auto clickers, and they are both games you play with your brain turned off and a lot of crap is flying around on the screen for spectacle

I'm all for a company that avoids crunch if they can afford it

I got into Guild Wars 2 last week. I really like the fast progression, it's the opposite to every other MMO i've tried that makes you grind hours for a level. I'll reach max level pretty soon after only 10 hours or so playing

Just because the game failed doesn't mean the whole studio needs to be scrapped... Artists and programmers could still get their chance to shine, without the top level decision makers steering the game towards dated formulas like hero shooters

It used to be my favorite game before I played Outer Wilds. That was a while back, aah the nostalgia.. The Swapper's graphics are also quite unique and aged pretty well I think.

I mean, he's in a similar situation as Toby fox. He has the freedom to spend as much time as he wants on developing updates without worrying about money, so he doesn't need to charge anything or ask money from players.

 

I really enjoyed this interview. For those who have tried this game, it reveals interesting facts about the development and the thought process of the (solo!) developer.

 

Spring Falls is a relaxing puzzle game about controlling the flow of water on a hexagonal grid. The difficulty is very tame, and I don't recall spending more than a few minutes on a level. Instead, it has a very soothing, ambient soundtrack layered with the occasional sound of falling rain. I played this during a calm morning sunrise and it was perfect.

The game takes around 2 hours to complete and can be found on sale for less than 4€.

I personally recommend A Monster's Expedition, a great game with many clever tricks and mind-bending mechanics.
