It was meant to be a spoof in that it was so on the nose was it not? I enjoyed it with that lense

I really wanted to make a neopets-esque online game but went down the route if a crime game instead. Would love for them to have a proper comeback and see what they do

Just installed this yesterday as a dual-boot. For the most part I'm enjoying it so far, had a few issues before I updated the kernel including no sound but managed to fix that.

Now the only annoyance is that I remote into a Windows 10 work Pc on a multi-nonitor setup, unfortunately Remmina just doesn't handle zoom on a single display well at all and scales every monitor, so have had to start trying to get used to a lower zoom level on my bigger monitor.

I'm currently reading I Robot by Isaac Asimov, it's very well written and I'm finding the dichotomy between such an old view of what the future may be like with the futuristic themes quite amusing.

Would definitely recommend any sci-fi fans give it a shot. It's not nearly at the same scale as our modern day space operas but it's really quite interesting so far.

I've recently decided to get all the achievements for Skyrim which led to me finally completing the main quest (which I felt was shorter than many of the side missions like the college etc) and been enjoying it massively. It gives a bit of direction to a game where there's also something else to be achieved.

Nailed it. Just off the Isle of Skye. Nobody ever believes that there are feral goats 😂

I don't think I've ever wanted to love a game more than Cyberpunk, but no matter how hard I try it just can't seem to capture my interest.

Who knows, perhaps this remake of so many core systems will keep my interest.

 
 

Hey folks,
Hopefully this is allowed but if not I understand and will remove the post if I can.

For the past 2 years I've been working on a side project called Cartel Empire. It's my own spin on games such as Torn City, Hobo Wars, Mafia Wars etc in that the goal is to build up your own character over potentially years and to do so as part of a larger community.

Cartel Empire is really about playing the game your own way, whether that's spending every moment committing crimes, spending time in the Gym to beat down your enemies more efficiently or building a community of like-minded Narcos as part of player-ran Cartels.

I've just released the Territory War system and would love for people to come try out the game and feed back what you like and what you think I could improve. I've got a Discord of 140 or so people I'm working closesly with and developing the game further based on the brilliant feedback from the community.

I found the online functionality to be really frustrating. Unless you're online it'll kick you out, you then need to wait to reconnect. Also being so used to Pokémon I found the typings to be confusing and not particularly obvious from the look of the TemTems what types they may be.

This all sounds rather negative but I do think it's quite well made overall, just not my cup of tea.

I personally love Torn and play it daily and have done for years. If you want something similar I've been trying to put my own spin on things with Cartel Empire which I've been developing for about 2 years as a side-project.

We've got a small but active community that's constantly growing and I'd love to have more people on the Discord as I try to include the community in as much if the development as I can.

Yeah I heard it was terrible as I'd read the reviews at the time. I mistakenly saw this and thought it was a new game and was sucked in by the trailer again

Not true, I've checked it and I still see a ton of posts in porn subs that aren't marked as nsfw. Not the end of the world but still somewhat annoying.

I've been actively developing Cartel Empire for about a year and a half now. It started off as a bit of a side project whilst I worked a boring IT job but has just kept growing which is amazing.

It's all hosted on Azure and written in JavaScript using Express for the backend and pug templates for the front-end.

I'm on mobile just now but if anybody is curious or has questions I'll be back later and am more than happy to answer anything.
