    Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe

    Yo this game is legit Kinda Kof-y meets Air Dashy kinda poverty fighter. Really nice moveset design and spacing, and the meter management and related options are really well designed and fun. Building 3 meters and going into unlimited EX or Super Cancel mode is crazy satisfying. There...

    Furi

    Not sure if everyone knows about it, it really came out of nowhere. Thought I'd make a thread since I just got around to playing it. This is basically the game I've wanted to play since I was 10. Furi is a mix of Platinum style hack and slash character action, boss rush, and bullet hell shmup...

    Koihime Enbu - any good?

    Was ported to Steam recently. A friend told me it was deliberately modeled after Super Turbo, which immediately makes me want to play it, but then again he's a scrublord so I dunno. Any thoughts?

    Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

    It's here baby https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night Thoughts: -Was hoping for something that emphasized the action a bit more, maybe returning to the classicvania style a bit, but eh still looks fun. -New girl is a cutie. Hope that Ayame Kojima art book...

    My Unity Demo's/Projects

    So last semester I took a Game Design class as well as a c++ course and aced them both. There's no advanced courses for either available at my college at the moment, so in the mean time I'm taking up Unity as a hobby since that's what we used in Game Design. I plan on doing a bunch of short...

    Cool Nes/Famicom programming insight (Contra)

    http://tomorrowcorporation.com/posts/retro-game-internals Something a friend on a forum linked to earlier today, interesting stuff for those interested in game design and programming. A summary of the way everything is programmed in Contra. Really neat to see how things are set up into...

    Doujin games of note

    Doujin means something along the lines of "self published". In the context of games, it usually means small Japanese independent games sold by the developer him or herself. Touhou is probably one of the most famous examples, though I'm not going to talk about shmups here because I already made...

    Under Night In-Birth

    I could have sworn there was a thread for this game already, but searching around I can't seem to find it. Must've gotten it confused with the thread about Fillia fan art by the devs/crossover possibility. Happened to stumble upon the sales page for the game at Play Asia whilst looking for...

    "Nerd hunting"

    http://en.rocketnews24.com/2014/05/13/man-arrested-for-hunting-the-nerdiest-game-akihabara-otaku/ Luckily nobody was seriously hurt, so I won't feel guilty using the line “I could probably get a lot of money by selling your organs.” in the future at some point. probably not so funny for the...

    "I DID IT" Gaming achievements/goals/triumphs

    See the invisible, break the unbreakable, do the impossible. Maybe let's talk about the skill based goals and journeys that make video games exciting. This is a fighting game forum so I imagine a lot of people will have fighting game related goals and achievements, though I've made this thread...

    Metal Slug Series Thread

    Pretty hype. Metal Slug is aces. http://store.steampowered.com/app/250180/ Would anyone be interested in trying for a co-op 1cc? It's one of the hardest games in the franchise, and I've heard from someone in beta that the netcode and port accuracy is pretty good.

    Gonna hold a contest/tournament to give away some Steam keys

    So I've been saving up Steam keys that I don't want/already have from bundles and whatnot, and figured I'd hold some kind of contest or tournament to give them away. Games I got A lot of you probably already have a lot of these games, but if you missed some of the bundles maybe not. Not to...

    Unpopular gaming opinions

    -Gunstar Heroes is over-rated. It's a good game, but it really comes off as a case of style over substance if you compare it to any Contra, Metal Slug, Mega Man, or Ghouls and Ghosts of the time. The level design is not particularly memorable imo and mostly is just a string of boss fights, and...

    Soma

    Interesting game I recently found about from the makers of Amnesia. It's a sci-fi horror game about consciousness and reality inspired by Philip K Dick, China Mieville, Greg Egan, H.P Lovecraft, and others. The environmental design seems to have a bit of H.R Giger influence too...

    Youtube Recreations

    Was linked to this the other day. Two thespian actors re-enact Youtube comment arguments. Pretty funny stuff. I hope they make more.

    The new Youtube comment system...

    I do like the lack of a limit on comment length though. People posting entire books, essays, and the declaration of independence on videos is quite amusing.

    New games you haven't played but have caught your interest

    Damned looks interesting, I like the idea of a randomly generated co-op/competitive horror game http://store.steampowered.com/app/251170/ Paranautical Activity definitely sounds like a cool concept. It does have some big boots to fill with the Quake/Doom comparison, I might wait for a demo or...

    Phantasy Star Online 2

    This is a fantastic game so I thought I'd make a thread for it. Pso2 is Sega's sequel to the enormously influential Phantasy Star Online, an online action rpg hack and slash that debuted on the Dreamcast and lived on through the game cube. Pso2 is the sequel, and advances the combat from the...
