    #AShortHike does this so good!

    I used to be an elitist about game difficulty, but as I get older I've developed a great appreciation for #CozyGames that don't expect you to actually need to try that hard.

    #BugSnax comes to mind as well here. Loved that game.

  6. #News out of #Nintendo's #patent #lawsuit against #PocketPair, alleging the #GameMechanics of #Palworld are too similar to #Pokemon.

    We now know the main #patents, all filed in #Japan earlier this year after PalWorld's release...

    (Reminder that #IAmNotALawyer)

    No. 7493117 involves #collision and #pathfinding, and seems to be mostly related to trainer battles and entering battle by throwing one Pokemon at another. It's not clear to me how this is novel or unique enough for a lawsuit.

    No. 7528390 involves player characters mounting creatures and riding them around. As Pokemon is far from the only, first, or even a game with this mechanic for more than a few years, I don't see how they can claim this.

    No. 7545191 is the #PokeBall thing, which #PalBalls are very similar to, so much I was surprised they did that at the game's release (#Bugsnax at least used a non-spherical trap), but again, I'm not sure how this is unique or innovative enough for a lawsuit.

  11. Thinking more about #Nintendo's #PalWorld #lawsuit, which claims that many of the mechanics, such as the #PalBall, are too similar to #Pokemon's mechanics, like the #PokeBall.

    Wondering if it would be a good idea for #PocketPair to take a cue from #BugSnax, and replace the "ball" with a cyllindrical "trap". Perhaps they can take inspiration from #GhostBusters, and have some sort of energy based trap which opens at the top and sucks the magic monsters in. They should definitely be leaning hard into the #MonsterCollecting genre's roots of #Yokai, #Spirit entities, and #mythological #cryptids.

    They might be able to avoid some damages if they lose this or have to settle in a few years by just changing up a few aesthetics, and I think the game itself would benefit from this: I personally think the Pal Ball looks odd and out of place as a mechanic, like it's just there to copy Pokemon.

    Then again, changing things might be an admission of guilt? I'm not a lawyer.

  21. J'ai beaucoup apprécié Bugsnax, un jeu étonnant, avec des graphismes et un univers qui sembleraient enfantins alors que c'est un jeu finalement assez adulte. Les personnages sont bien écrits et interprétés, le gameplay est original et évolutif : en bref, une belle réussite, avec un joli message et des personnages queers… que demander de plus ?

  28. Just finished #JourneyToTheSavagePlanet yesterday, a fun and quick little romp. My "completionist-ish" run took 19 hours over a few days; I missed some scans but kept my sanity.

    #RaccoonLogic did a great job with their premier release. Hilarious writing, fun level design, neat little toys. It reminded me a lot of #Bugsnax honestly, lots of heart.

    It's refreshing to play a game that respects your time the way this one did, I just wish I had gotten to check out the #coop features in the game.
