looks like it might be a laugh and it's fairly cheap for the normal version 15 bucks and then a dlc with some new modes for another 5
1-8 players several modes like a cross between bomberman and gauntlet
DJI just came out with the phantom 4 their latest camera platform quad
In common parlance anything like this is called a drone but that typically implies capabilities these things don't have.
Many, many years ago, Back at Mill Hill School I spent a huge amount of time building 3D objects with a program called Euclid on the Acorn Achimedes. I made citiies you could "fly through" (move the camera) and an American truck. It was where my love of 3D things, be it rendering or building worlds, began. At some point in University (1996ish), once I had my stonking first PC (a Dell Pentium 200Mhz) an old chum Raj furnished me with Lightwave 3D, which he said "They used to make Babylon 5".
This is an excellent little fps with super stylised graphics (all white environments black objects and red enemies and bullets) with a gimmick that time only moves when you move. So stay still and everything is basically frozen in time (more or less it's probably more accurate to say that time is moving really slowly so fast things like bullets and cars do move perceptively while you are still just at a very slow speed).
I've just finished playing MASSIVE CHALICE, which is a strategy/tactical game from Double-Fine... I remember seeing the Kickstarter a while ago (I think a nudge was sent out to all backers of Planetary Annihilation). It's a lovely little game that I really enjoyed...the first single-player game in a long time to hold my attention to the end...it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
It's taken them two bloody years but there are some cool things coming. I'd rather they released less and more often. Here's a really good roundup:
I want to go to the end now. I didn't really care before but now there is a reason to do it. I'm going to find me a portal, make a safe railway to it and then go kill me some dragon and do some exploring!
Taking a break from the repeated small runs of success then horrifyingly crushing defeats where I loose all my soldiers in XCOM2 and while waiting for the DLC to reignite my fallout 4 addiction I played Firewatch over the weekend.
Reminds me a bit of gone home another story experience style of game
This came out on PS4 a while back and I just noticed there is now a pc version it's from the same people that did the new version of gauntlet and is a coop twin stick shooter. It's also on special for the next 13 hours and is relatively inexpensive even when full price.
might be worth a go.
Hypothesis : People will grumble and complain about stuff, yet continue to do the stuff they are complaining about, rather than spend 30 seconds resolving the issue.
The witness is a new puzzle game from Braid dev Jonathan Blow it's a crazy beautiful game like some sort of gorgeous painting come to live.
