Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

If you played Sid Meier's Pirates or Port Royale you will feel right at home. No naval combat yet, but trade and automated trade routes. Dynamic prices based on supply and demand. Randomized worlds using climatology science - seasonal wind patterns which affect the flow of trade. Some cool stuff to check out.

Cool! Might check it out.

Word of caution: it might not play well for you to insert political opinions in the game. You'll alienate plenty of gamers for no good reason.

It’s kind of sad the anti-circumcision cause gets lumped in with a lot of other garbage, because at its core it’s a pretty reasonable argument: let’s not cut bits off of infants for no good reason. But instead of just sticking with that we got anti-feminist conspiracy theory nonsense.

[–] new_world_odor@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I was just talking about this recently, funny. Like you said, it's reasonable. But what I find weird is when people make it a figurehead issue. It feels so low-stakes compared to all the other atrocities in the world. It's strange how some people focus on it. I agree with their message just not the importance.

I've noticed as well if someone is really into being vocal about that issue, they almost certainly have some weird sexual hang-ups around women to go with it.

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

I initially upvoted then read this. w.tf. downvoted.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 3 points 3 hours ago

Jesus Christ. Maybe I'll skip this.

[–] bigboismith@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

Huh, I wonder why this game has so many downvotes, probably AI

No AI, huh I wonder what else it could be

Ah, that would do it

[–] terabyterex@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

Anyway... just generate a world :)

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 44 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy seems like the wrong place for an anti-feminist Andrew Tate disciple to land, but seems like he's banned everywhere else already.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 14 points 8 hours ago

The x account worried me already, so I want entirely surprised but still. It also runs like shit

[–] Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 60 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Oh boy. Why would you put that in the game?

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 33 points 10 hours ago

Seems like it's LLM slop being used a medium to share his crack conspiracy

[–] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 17 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well it's true. The elites have had hats and harmes since the Blackwell convergence in 1428. they used andrethreertousendocrome to inject themselves with nanobots. Back then nanobots where made of wood and cotton, thats why the cotton industry bloomed and that is also the reason for jetfuel not bring able to melt the grinches icy heart.

Anyway here is Conrad Twitty.

Bro needs a doctor cause that reads like some early onset schizophrenia.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

Some people are just knobheads and lonely

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

That's what I was thinking too

[–] e8d79@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Ever since the Silent Hill Circumcision Incident I was waiting for someone exploring the Sid Meier’s Pirates! anti-feminism, secret harem, and circumcision deep lore.

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

i only play un-WOKE games with CIRCUMSICED characters

[–] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 hours ago

Pyramid-head is my mohel.

[–] GenitalHurricane@lemmy.world 37 points 10 hours ago

MRW Oh cool I loved SM Pirates! Oh. OH. Oh.... Oh no.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I was in the development team of Port Royale!

I will SO check this out! 😂💖

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Wait WHAT. I LOVE port royale 2!

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 points 6 hours ago

I exited before the second part 😞

[–] SavvyBeardedFish@reddthat.com 11 points 10 hours ago

Cool!

Word of caution: Avoid phrasing it like an UE5 remake of a game, in the age of AI game disassembly it might sound like that's what you did in this case.

IMO: phrase it like a reimagination of the game instead (or any other synonyms that might fit the bill!)

The city names are killing me! It looks like German... but it's so wrong that is HAS to be wrong on purpose. Like somebody has a half understanding of the language, but absolutely no idea where to separate syllables.

[–] terabyterex@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

read the comment above showing the ramblings of the dev

[–] sidebro@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago

It's like the names are half-baked

[–] Agent_Karyo@piefed.world 14 points 12 hours ago

This looks really cool (I enjoy Port Royale), no saving/loading is a bit of blocker for me though in strategy games (even demoes).

Hope to hear more about your game.

[–] knuk@piefed.ca -1 points 10 hours ago

Your UI looks good! It's the part I'm having the most difficulty with making a game in UE5
