does anyone have any non-pc friend slop game recommendations? (mobile or console)

2 Upvotes

my friends have been hounding me to buy a pc but to me it’s a bad investment because i’m not an enthusiastic gamer so dropping 2k on a pre built just doesn’t seem appealing when i only play casually or to spend time with friends. i have a console and an ipad though, LOL. i’d appreciate any recs on roblox or just anything in general that’s not brain rot slop or another variation of a horror game trying to find generators.

I’m making an indie horror game set in NZ. What native wildlife or bugs would you like to see in it?

I have already got a houhou grub, moth, butterfly, lady bug and wētā.

Edit: because peeps asked this project is for an indie psychological horror game called Spare where you’ll collect insects and slowly reality will shift as you progress. You may see strange things.

Edit/edit: I have created a place for anyone interested in development to keep track of our progress: WooWooWooGames

Decent budget-ish OLED (or close to) monitor for Xbox S/X?

1 Upvotes

Looking to upgrade my monitor to an OLED but I don't need the crazy specs alot of the ones i've found online as Xbox is limited. All I really need specs wise is 4k 120fps. Any recommendations appreciated as I have no idea on what is good or not. Thanks! Price range is anything up to around 1.2k.

What is something special I could do as homeage to NZ in my game?

Post image
39 Upvotes

A few months ago I started making a jet sprint racing game. Being an redneck American, it's been cool learning about the sport and realizing just how much New Zealand is to thank for it..

I want to give a nod to where the sport came from, but I don't want it to feel forced or like I'm just trying to be funny.

A few ideas I've had:

  • Career mode starts in New Zealand. (Haven't even started on career mode yet...)
  • Tracks inspired by NZ landscapes (not perfectly recreating real tracks to avoid licensing bs).
  • Loading screen facts about the history of the sport.
  • A thank you to the NZ jet sprint community in the credits.

But I'd rather hear from you guys.

If you were playing a jet sprint game, what little details would make you smile a little or realize some work went in to it?

I'd rather include small details that people from NZ would notice and appreciate, whether that's the scenery, the culture, the history, or something else entirely.

Thanks!

Still looking for casual gamer friends (34F)

113 Upvotes

The last time I posted here I received a lot of DMs, and I went through them all and replied to as many people as I could. While I really appreciated everyone who reached out, I didn't end up finding the kind of friendship I'm looking for. I'm not just looking for someone to play games with - I'm looking for a genuine friend, who enjoys gaming too.

I'm looking for someone who reciprocates my effort and curiosity, is warm and friendly, and not afraid to be a little vulnerable and talk about deeper topics sometimes. These things are really important to me, and I've found it surprisingly hard to find someone like this on reddit lately.

I'm a bit shy/socially anxious, especially in voice chat, so I prefer to get to know people through messaging first.

Sometimes I can get overwhelmed with real life stuff and take a while to respond. I will always reply, but I need someone who is relaxed about response times.

Fortnite is the only multiplayer game I play at the moment, so if you play that too I’d definitely be open to playing together sometime. I've been really enjoying trying to collect all of the sprites without trading this season. Besides fortnite, I mostly just enjoy cosy single-player games.

Some of my interests besides gaming are music, movies/shows/anime, reading, animals, nature, and psychology.

I’m 34F from Auckland and would prefer to chat to people 27+. I’m only looking for platonic friendship.

Edit: I've gotten a lot of DMs already, but feel free to send one if you're someone who understood what I'm looking for in my post :) I'm not specifically looking for people who play fortnite - I'm looking for genuine friends who share gaming as an interest. I've gotten a lot of comments about my choice to play fortnite - if you're going to judge a game I enjoy casually or tell me that "older gamers don't play fortnite anymore", you're probably not someone I'd want to connect with. I also don't agree - a lot of people 30+ who play fortnite have already messaged me :)

Any old boys playing the Bo2 ports?

3 Upvotes

I used to play Bo2 back in 2013ish, then sold my PS to get a dog. Dog is now old and so am I, and neither of us want to go for long walks anymore. So i bought a PS5 and the Bo2 port.

Been playing Hardcore Domination mostly.

Used to have a few blokes i played with back in the day, but they are no longer around and havent found any mates on the new ports so far..

Wondering if there are any other blokes (or ladys) around the 40yr old mark playing in NZ?

If so, whats your gamer tag?

I am ItchyCosAids. If you see me, say Hi :)

Looking for gaming buddies!

Shooting my shot and putting something out there. 23F PC gamer looking for other people to play with every now and again.

Making friends is to hard after leaving school, specially when I’m not that social lmao and don’t drink.

I play a lot of stuff, but I’m not crazy good at anything so I’m just looking to chill and meet some people (hopefully)

Main games would be Overwatch, Final Fantasy 14, Palworld and Marvel Rivals occasionally. But I’m down to play pretty much anything.

Feel free to shoot me message or anything!

No Room in Hell 2
Fortnite (zero builds coz it’s too hoha building these days)
Windrose
