A fantasy comic about Action, Courage, and Advanced Mechanical Enemies! (1/3)

Quick sketch before work.

@TreyPowell1964 Played through Ep 1 last year and I think the way you do it is great. There's more player expression in your combat alone then a lot of games, and that plays into what I like about imsims. I think wanting all imsims to play the same, or share the same mechanics defeats the point

I get the same rigid restrictions from imsim gatekeepers. We let you do so much shit in Aces but people sometimes don't lump it in within the genre. There may be one or two scripted moments in the game and once that happens everything goes out the window.

@turboghosto Sleeping dogs is an example of this. If I remember right, all the combos are locked behind finding jade statues. you could unlock most of your moves in the early game, but you'd have to scour the city for collectables.

10/10 game but you have to unlock all the combat and movement abilities slowly over the course of the game absolutely tanking the replayability

Messing around with those Krafttone coloring brushes again.

@TafferKing451 Over the years I've seen people try to explain what an imsim is, and %90 of the time, someone else responds by explaining that their rigid definition would exclude the Deus ex, or Thief games. It usually comes down to "if I like it, it's an imsim, and if I don't then it isn't"

I believe this is the crux of the issue, and no immersive sim is immune to it. I've seen people argue "the game didn't let me skip X by doing Y, so it's bad" for every single game in the genre. People will readily strip them of being an imsim by vague, subjective goal posts.

@TopHatStudiosEN Alright! I'm a delivery boy!

Send SSStyle into the stratosphere in DELIVERY MUST COMPLETE, and parry missiles as you weave, dodge, and destroy your way across a warzone! Every battle is massive, every fight is a spectacle - and you must finish the job. Deliver the package... before it gets cold.

@TehSnakerer Funny thing is I learned it from the news post they did on steam. I'm pretty sure they added the tutorial pop-up in an update after that.

@JimmyDArtist I am enjoying it for its absurd AA-ness. Actually smiled when I got the tutorial for this mechanic out of nowhere on a random event street fight out of nowhere. Like the game forgot to tell me

Get in the fridge

Samson is a pretty cool game. It's basically a "day in the life of a low level thug" simulator. The game might be lacking in a lot of areas that other games excel in, but I find that the daily action points/jobs system is really engaging.

Some sketches

Would Left for dead and Payday count as Friendslop?

I could understand the dislike if people thought friendslop was reducing the production of other types of coop games (like how souls-likes killed off the hack&slash genre) but I don't think it really has. (3/3)

competitive to some degree(or were only 2 player). So this surge of games that are focused on 1-4 players working together to achieve a singular goal has been great to me. (2/3)

I have nothing against the term friendslop, but I find it odd how many people genuinely dislike the existence of those types of games. For years me and my brothers had a hard time finding games that were cooperative multiplayer. It always seemed like most coop games were (1/3)

@Timothy1395 @RealGameVault I'm going to be honest, I was not actually expecting it to be from the book. It just seemed so random. Though I guess the movies have their fair share of goofy moments too

@JimmyDArtist @RealGameVault Those are gnomes and this is at Ron’s house. Ron’s house has a gnome infestation and in the book he chucks them over the fence along with Ron to get rid of them. The reason there is a car there is cause Ron’s dad likes to do magic enchantments on muggle items.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002, Electronic Arts)

A couple of sketches from last night. Not entirely happy with the right one, and I wish I drew the left one larger, but I'm posting them anyway.

@spnidelman Enemies being able to mess up the grenade throw is great. Reminds me of Max Payne 2, where the same thing would happen pretty frequently.
