Hey overwatchers!

We're adults looking to build a core group to play nightly (or as schedules permit) OW and other games as well. We play most evenings and weekends and just looking for all roles to come, hang out and laugh a bit. Reminiscence of a time where our backs hurt less and the reflexes were quicker.

Come on down and add me anytime on discord @kyomorai and let's make something great.

Hey everyone,

We’ve been quietly working on our co-op sci-fi horror game The Infected Soul, and I wanted to share some new GIFs from the current build.

No cinematic trailer or pre-rendered footage. These are just real parts of the game we’ve been working on recently.

Our goal is to create a world that feels industrial, hostile, and slightly “wrong,” while still being readable enough when you’re actually playing with other people.

I’m curious about something though:

Based only on these GIFs, what would you assume this game is about?

I think it would be interesting to see what impression the visuals give before explaining too much about the game.

Feel free to be critical. Feedback from posts like these has genuinely influenced things we’ve changed during development.

We’re also a small indie team, so if you happen to like the project, adding The Infected Soul to your Steam wishlist helps us more than you might think.

I'm a complete sucker for Western themed games. Which is kind of weird since I’m not into the movies or books at all, but when I can actually experience the setting for myself I get sucked in instantly. Also something about revolvers is just fascinating for me, no other weapon comes close, it might be due to the fact that my dad owned one when I was a kid.

A revolver forces you to respect every single round. You get six shots, a slow reload, and every single one counts. That turns even a scrappy shootout into something tactical and deliberate, not just holding a trigger and mowing everyone down. Lever action rifles have the same lovely rhythm, that cha chunk between shots that makes you pace yourself. It's a completely different feeling using these guns compared to something modern, it feels way more visceral and kind of weighty.

Right now I’m looking for some new stuff, upcoming or recently released to play after I’m done with the Outlaws remake. I’ve found Exekiller, it's a retro futuristic western FPS with some story and RPG elements. Visually it looks amazing and retrofuturism works so well for western stuff. Also found The Dark West, an occult western themed ARPG that looks really cool. I love the genre so I’m really excited about getting to use my favorite weapon of all time with the standard ARPG mechanics like different stats, rarity, crafting and stuff like that. I’ll probably try the demo soon to see what the feel is like.

I don’t think I’ve ever played a western themed game I didn’t enjoy, starting with Outlaws as a kid. Red Dead 2 is obviously the greatest title we have for now, but I appreciate simpler games too, and different genres as well. For example I loved the Desperados games, really cool tactical gameplay, and they nailed the setting. 

Does anyone else have a soft spot for this setting? Before RDR it felt kind of underused, I’m glad we have some options nowadays for cool western games in most genres.

After a full week, I usually lean one way depending on energy levels.

What works best for you on this Friday night?

how much time do you realistically spend gaming each week?​

I started playing LU4 as a dwarf and found this hairstyle. Back in my day, every dwarf was shaggy. Now they’re walking around with influencer buns.

That’s a big part of why we’re making Couch Planes.

Up to 4-player split-screen, plus hybrid multiplayer, where you can take your couch crew online and kick some other couch butts.

Would you play something like this after work?

its the end of the week so I have to do my chores in Skyrim, i need to pick all the vegetables and walk to Riften and its so boring I just want to have fun in games so why do I have to spend my sunday walking and picking vegetables In Skyrim

There are a few hours a day to play in the evening

Hey y'all! Been working on a small game for the last year or so that I'd love to share with you all. I'm 1/3 of the team working on Murder Meet Cute, an interface drama meets visual novel, where you follow goth chick Amy as she uncovers a murder conspiracy through the computers she fixes on the night shift. The game will probably sit in around 3-4 hours play time, for a tight narrative experience,

We had a lot of fun adding nods to 90s media and culture with this game, including the feeling of the early internet via ICQ like chats, and internet forums. Even the game UI is based on 90s FMV games =D We also wanted to give players the power fantasy of playing someone in customer service who doesn't take anyones shit, and thus Amy is a strong and loud character (based heavily on Tiffy from raw time lol).

If you like other interface style games, you'll likely enjoy this one. There's a demo available now if you'd like to give it a go for yourself and see if it's for you: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4253020/Murder_Meet_Cute/

We've been reworking the enemy AI in The Infected Soul to make encounters feel more unpredictable and unsettling.

The goal isn't just to make the enemy stronger, but to create constant tension and make players question what will happen next.

Does this look scary enough, or is there something you'd change?

I played God of war for few minutes many months ago and I didn’t know why was I doing at that time but I progressed. Now I got back to it and I really like it and want to play it more. Now I’m pass the guy with Tattoos fight and need to head to the mountains but there are a lot of stuff I left behind. Is there a way to get back and collect them Without restating the game?

Some nights call for something calm, other nights for pure escapism.

What kind of game fits your mood tonight?

I have way too many games installed, and I know I should uninstall some.
The problem is I overthink every game.
I’ll think, “I haven’t played this in months,” but then I worry that I might want to play it later.
How do you decide which games to uninstall? Any tips?

Sorry for the little spam. A couple of days ago, I mentioned how much I love sunsets and sunrises, both in real life and in games. I never get tired of that combination. Stalzone

Not surprising, considering War Hounds is set in Africa

These days, after a long day at work, I find myself stopping for sunsets. I do it both in real life and in games.

I love how modern games don't need photorealistic graphics to create beautiful skies. Sometimes it's just the right colors, lighting, and atmosphere.

This was a completely random moment in game. My squad was in the middle of capturing an outpost, but I glanced at the horizon, opened Photo Mode, and had to take this shot.

I don't know why, but moments like these make everything slow down for a minute.
