I need to make sure to sprinkle the flag of Puerto Rico for the final release wherever I can and maybe edit that sign. No, it's the old map I was working on a while ago. I've been trying to be more intentional with the architecture and make it resemble the actual city of San Juan. And also make it nicer too look at. It's still heavy wip, but I think you can get a good idea for the final thing now.

Quote from Castle

Not gonna lie, this has always been one of the concerns on the back of my mind, but I didn't expect it to happen any time soon. It's a bit scary actually.

But it's interesting to think about what you wrote overall.

@Castle please continue, I think everyone here is curious about how VR could develop.

I also think VR will play more into the social aspect, having conversations with people, meetings etc with games like HLA being a side dish. Even if they get the cable out of the way, there's still the fact that it gives you motion sickness. It's cool, but it won't beat sitting on your couch with a controller in your hands.

Quote from FMPONE

I cannot remember the last time the industry was in such an uninspired rut, this is I think the worst it has ever been in my lifetime. Cyberpunk was the only big game release I was looking forward to, and it was universally panned to the point where I didn't even bother playing it.

If things continue this way, I don't even think I would call myself a fan of video games anymore. I will play a new Mario or Zelda game when it comes out, basically the same gaming habits as a young kid, certainly not a hardcore gamer anymore. The industry is in total free-fall it seems, it cannot tackle new and exciting projects successfully. At least VR is an attempt.

Long-term, I see myself being more interested in playing a new VR release than a big pancake release, but a wireless headset would be a big help.

I also found myself pretty disappointed with triple A releases, so I turned my attention to indies and haven't been more impressed with how creative people can be. It's not that triple A releases are downright terrible, but they've become more like junk food with photoshoped flashy advertisements. And even though it's becoming rare to play something that's thoroughly good in that space, it still happens. It's just a matter of setting your expectations in order.

Vee ARR-haven't played anything else since HLA

While I like the daily picks as a small quick highlight, they take too much space now. I guess that applies overall, everything feels zoomed in after the recent update.

You know what the funny part about this is? It's the part where Microsoft now owns Zenimax, but has to honour the publishing deal they made with Sony prior to the acquisition

Is there any word on how long this will remain platform exclusive?

Insurgency: Sandstorm has some support, don't know to what extent, but you can create levels for it at least.
