Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 22/09/2026That makes sense, I don't think I got my hands on guns often enough in the first game to have worked out what they were for. They look great though and the glow is a good tell for who you can't kill at range. Looking forward to them coming back, and more of the supernatural elements in general. 020
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Or wait... is that what those neat looking orange lamps affixed to some of the enemies' bodies are? I noticed those were gone in GW and I had been wondering why! 111
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Makes sense, I imagine the more environmentally specific a mechanic becomes the more you have to tailor the environment to it for it to be relevant, which might not play well with the rest of the game. Though pitching dirt/sand at people could be amusing if you ever wanted to bring it back. 020
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Oh sick I'm definitely going to have to go back into BB1 and take a look to see if I can find out which ones. I'm guessing Yenneloch has one but I've never tried to go at them with anything but the swords so they might have a more general immunity. 110
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Oh this kind of addresses another curiosity of mine: After seeing the loading screen tip I have splashed enemies a few times with water buckets. I've seen the particles for the wet effect but other than presumably putting out fires I'm not sure what it does... 110
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Looking forward to it regardless of how long it takes! Have there been any mechanics that you prototyped for this game or the previous two that you ended up cutting? And/or any that you thought would be more central to gameplay and ended up being more peripheral? 110
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Hell at least even if they were to lose momentum after doing this... then they still would have brought the vaulted parts of the game back which is far from a bad thing. 110
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Hilarious how their system is so good, so self-evidently effective, good, and moral, that a single dissident will cause it to shatter like sugar-glass apparently. 010
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 17/09/2026These people never understand how childish they sound, exercising the magical thinking that the intentions of a system are synonymous with the results of that system. Oh don't worry, it'll be a *well-intentioned* dictatorship, and thus only good can be done, and those questioning can only be evil. 040
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I think there might have been a "make it look like an oil painting" directive given at some point and maybe they took it a bit literally? 010
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Fantastic name! Makes sense that a gun that is clearly rare and specialized has a name that's less rough and more reverent compared to the other weapons. Great look too, I love the muzzle shape especially. 010
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 31/08/2026(Prowess then seems like it comes mostly from Fennel themself, considering how much pride is baked into some of the finishing animations.) 3/2 010
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 31/08/2026The opening conversations in Saint Tavol frame Domination and Grace as being a job well done, while Sigg's compassion is the source of the Mercy objective. Given that Mercy persists for every job, this says a lot about what kind of qualities Sigg brings out in Fennel. 2/2 120
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I think it was successful, not only through the dialogue in and between levels but through the gameplay incentives of the tokens and where those incentives as parts of Fennel's character come from. 1/2 110
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I've watched youtubers to get a handle on the basics and I've watched GDC talks for inspiration on how to turn my ideas into systems, but damn there is so little publicly available connective tissue to guide me from one to the other. 010
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 29/08/2026I can't wait to see what you call this one. A highlight of your games for me has been all the creative names for weapons, bullets, and other items. 010

Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 06/06/2026I'd argue that its not untouchable but an LLM isn't even close. There's a lot more going on in a living brain than a "guess the next word" machine. 070
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 21/05/2026I suppose we should have all seen the wave of enshittification coming for ongoing games as well. From what I hear even Helldivers has fallen sick with it. At least the industry seems to be pulling back on this whole live service thing. Hard to say what will come next (other than layoffs ofc). 010
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 21/05/2026I don't think they realized just how badly they have screwed themselves going forward (though they aren't unique in this): How am I ever supposed to get invested in one of these "live service" games again? I have now witnessed that a game can be really fun today and be patched into a slog tomorrow. 110
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 21/05/2026I will forever maintain my opinion on Destiny 2: It is a very, very good game trapped inside a very, very bad game. I think if anything its one of the most blatant example of mismanagement and poor leadership letting down a great idea and a team that was otherwise qualified to deliver on it. 150
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I think I only thought to say abrupt because the change in management was one you could feel. The introduction of the portal was such an outwardly hostile change that it permanently killed any interest I had in the game going forward. 020
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Yeah, you're right. I really started to fall off during Revenant, and it was because the conga line of warlock nerfs, removal of crafting for new weapons, and the fatigue of having to learn a new meta every season (that may or may not be as fun as last season) made the chase less fun. 110
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I've definitely lost the desire to play Destiny 2 but I can sometimes feel a big Destiny 2 shaped hole in my free time. It was jarring to see the game go from being maybe the most fun it had ever been (in the time I played it at least) to a shell of itself so abruptly. 110

Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Is there anything in particular that made you choose gamemaker over something like unity? I've only ever used the latter but I'm curious about the other choices. 110
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Last time I played was somewhere in the middle of Revenant. I feel a little bad that I never got around to playing in Heresy since that episode looked good, but especially as a warlock main the current mechanic changes seem really rough. The last thing the game needed were more nerfs. 010
Xzocka @xzocka.bsky.social · 22/07/2025I've been away from D2 for like 7-8ish months now but I was interested in what the new changes might have to offer so I've been checking in with the community on the new expansion. From what I'm gathering, to call it a fumble is an understatement. As far as I can tell, the game is worse now. 130
