Ball x Pit is out on iOS. Same great game but huge mistake making it landscape only mode imho

Yeah, that’s a missed opportunity. Portrait mode would have been great, although I’m not sure how one-handed play would work.

Still got it, will still probably pay to unlock it, but that would have been a no brainer with portrait mode.

same lol

How long has Twilight Struggle: Red Sea been available on iPhone? I thought it was iPad-only.

The game I have the most time clocked in on Steam (over 4600 hours) is Marvel Heroes and it went offline in 2017. There has been an emulator team working on reviving it for a couple of years now, and over this past weekend it went 1.0.

There are 3 main server branches, but the main one is Project TAHITI. It is the closest to the original game when it went offline. There are two other server branch projects out there COA has an accelerated version of the game (not just leveling and exp abut actual CDs of skills) and there is a French server team.

Just in case anyone was interested. I have already clocked in about 20 hours over the weekend.

This is still a great game. I have opened it back up again.

Tempted to buy the army packs! Though I likely won’t get enough play time in :wink:

Dice Throne Digital funded on KS very quickly yesterday. I love the game and play mostly solo at home, so excited for this and there is going to be like a single player campaign or something as part of it.

It’s going to be a fremium model, so unless you want in the beta, holding off until release makes sense if you are not a huge fan.

I want to play in the beta though (I opted not to pay up for the alpha).

Anyway, it’s news I thought: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dicethrone/dice-throne-digital/description

Today I again re-learned that I am a sinful greedy Prinny! The truth hurts.

Warhammer Classics on Steam

This is a massive effort to port classic Warhammer and Warhammer 40k games to steam. While some only received barebones efforts I am fine with it, since the aim was to have them run on current systems, not to overhaul them. Since more than twenty games are targeted, its quantity over quality. Some games even make their steam debut here!

Chaos Gate for the first time on steam? Yes please!

Final Liberation as well? Nice, the fmv in that game are hilarious!

Space Hulk and Space Hulk Ascension rerelease, where I missed the boat back then? Great!

Battlefleet Gothic Armada (1) modernized and with launch sale under 2 €? Chefs kiss!

Sad that this are no upgrades of existing purchases but oh well, cannot make an omelette and such…the only thing I REALLY wanted was controller support (STEAMDECK ANYONE?)

Overall a great thing but…..I cannot help myself….why no rerelease of DEATHWATCH? I only had the iOS Version, and only learned about the expanded scope of the steam version after it was delisted both on iOS and steam.

Why oh why did GW manage to disentangle the licensing of so many old games with defunct developers (Full Controll for Space Hulk and SH:A among others) and the ones from last cent…MILLENIUM but not with Rodeo Games and Deathwatch?

Not sure why I bought this for my iPad. But it was only $5. Great game. I want to replay it before the sequel comes out. I just need to free up a bunch of space on my ipad. It’s 45 gb.

Guild Wars Reforged is coming to mobile this summer and I am excited a) for a good game but also b) for another demonstration that mobile can be a legitimate platform with legitimate games. It sounds like the cost will be the same as PC and owning one gives you access to the others.

I am curious tough, how the heck do you implement a working ui/controller scheme for such a game on screen? At least GW1 had no press space to jump (it only had a jump emote). Since you mentioned crossbuy (?) I would try it out if my hardware wasn’t incredibly out of date.

Edit:

It might be a successful proof of concept, but hasn’t premium gaming on mobile pretty much evaporated 10 years ago?

Are you a Playdek spokesman now ?

I am not.

Thought it was interesting.

Didn’t realize it would cause a problem. It won’t happen again.

I had forgotten about this game. Update looks interesting.

On a different Note, I wonder if/when Trump becomes one of the leaders, and what his leader ability might be? :slight_smile:
