Adventure RPGs are the best genre on the DS. The functionality of the second screen lends itself to this type of game best. Puzzle games are probably the second strongest genre on the DS. If you list the best games ever on the DS, imo, the top 4-5 are all either puzzle or adventure RPGs like Zelda:PH, TWEWY, Prof. Layton, Final Fantasy CC:RoF, Dragon Quest MJ, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, etc.

Anyway at the moment Boom Blox (what category does that go under?) and Okami have my attention. Cant say I have a favourite type as its mood dependent.

I don't have a favorite really. Some days I really want to jump into some epic RPG and spend the next week doing nothing but playing that game. Other days I want something I can jump right into and enjoy for a good 30 minutes (shmups are the best for that).

EDIT: Right now I'm absolutely hooked on My Life as a King. And I just got Boom Blox which is also a blast, and I finally started really playing Zak and Wiki. I've also had a real hankering to play Majora's Mask.

RTS because it isn't a game of who plays the longest.

RTS is easy to learn, you can learn in less then an hour.

But hard to master, especially the different strategies and in 2v2 + matches, teamwork, such as flanks, spys, ambush, expansion, placeement of buildings, and unit formations.

And most of all, micro

    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
