    @miskkie Best of luck! It will be interesting to find out what the learning curve is with this game, as in, how long does it take to learn enough in SP to be able to enjoy MPs.

    @DoctorEldritch Peanuts sounds great especially the salted ones will be most welcomed. 🤣. I'll go grab it.

    @DracoTarot wait, you lost me. Peanuts? Are you talking about a comic in this thread?

    @DoctorEldritch That is true! So erm, just saying this to the wind and TOTALLY not directed at anyone, but uh, this Project Century game looks pretty fun. Summer Games Fest gets a lot of eyes, so now might be the best time to release a demo of it or sumthin. Also, Netease has been printing a lot of money lately with Marvel Rivals, so they probably should share their wealth with some of the other studios under it.

    In a real zombie apocalypse, friendly fire mode will be the first thing that gets enabled 😆

    @ZaidH I'd say, even if they do not share Project Century at Summer Games Fest (which I will need to look into as to what they are planning to show), they will more likely do it at the Tokyo Game Show 2025 in September. Home turf and everything. Though I hear Hideo Kojima will come to the Summer Games Fest this year.

    Actually, now that you mention it, Mundfish Studio, the developers of the Atomic Heart shooter, recently shared that this game was played by over 10 million gamers worldwide. It brought them success and money, and they decided to build on it by expanding into Mundfish Powerhouse, a publishing house. They plan to support new upcoming small teams (like they were before Atomic Heart success) with finances and advice. Take note, Netease.

    I am not sure whether friendly fire has a disabled mode even without the zombie apocalypse...

    Oh. Ma. Lawd. SGF, I underestimated ya. People were screaming in joy looking at the destroyed Raccoon City, but for me, it was seeing Sotenbori. Unreal stuff. If Half-Life 3 gets announced today, then this community truly needs the services of an exorcist.

    Dude if whatever Mundfish showed during the show comes out as it is, then holy moly, they knocked things out of the park. Ill especially looks phenomenal. Please don't be a tech demo, please don't be a tech demo 🙏

    @ZaidH I'll let you in on a little secret: 8th of June is my birthday, so during that time, my reality-bending powers get a boost, maybe that's why 😉 The offset is that I am always too busy to join all those shows live so am still catching up to what they showed now 😅 I'll need to check out that Sotenbori.

    Half-Life 3 may not be announced today, but more likely than not, it's coming. Lies of P had a surprise drop, and it made waves. I imagine if Half-Life 3 did the same, it'd cause a tsunami.

    Ah, good to know that strategy is already paying off for them. I would hope it is not a tech demo, they did a very good job with graphics in Atomic Heart, that game has a very unique retro-futuristic soviet style, too. They know how important it is for a game to find its own visual art.

    @DoctorEldritch You said the games are worth peanuts on Steam. I'd rather settle for the edible ones. 🙂

    Now I got it 😅

    ...And now I am hungry. Though personally, I do not like peanuts as a snack all that much. My go to snack is fried broad beans:

    That is, when I go for processed snacks at all. More often, I snack on fresh radishes 😅

    Maybe we need a thread about best snacks...

    Here is an extended showcase presenation for you:


    This is an in-depth look at the 3 big upcoming games: Atomic Heart 2, The Cube and, finally, ILL, which is the last part. You may be interested to listen how much effort they put into physics and making "the most realistic dismemberment in games" in combo with advanced behaviour AI and surround sound effects. So it is shaping up to be impressive indeed. @DracoTarot this may be of interest to you as well, given your fondness for horror games 😉
