“Gaming has been for a long time just an extremely digital thing that you do only by sitting at your computer and changing pixels or programming,” Kaya said. “Now we are in this age where anything can go into a video game, and when you put a lot of literally and metaphorically interesting textures, it just becomes a more interesting work. Stop-motion is a great way to do that.”

Hell yes, use technology to make videogames more human not less human!

Nothing I do works consistently, so who cares?

Seriously if I could disappear without hurting anyone or causing rippling traumas, I would in a heartbeat.

Until then, I will at least try to enjoy the beginning of my doomed projects.

Meh Soldak Studios has utterly schooled this fool at bringing interesting depth and richness to ARPGs without betraying or losing focus of the core gameplay loop and I doubt he has ever even heard of Soldak or any of their games

I can confidently tell you your impulse isn’t brash here, Mutant Football League is exactly what you think it is, has splitscreen and is fucking awesome.

I honestly don’t even give a shit about 'murican football, it doesn’t even matter (though make no mistake, this game has good arcade football gameplay, it isn’t “just a joke game”), Mutant Football League is a journey on a road paved with footballs but it is about the experience along the way not what type of sportsball the road was paved with that you walked your pilgrimage on.

You mean like Mutant Football League 1 and 2??

If you want a local multiplayer arcade basketball game check out Dunk Lords

If you want a shockingly good local multiplayer arcade volleyball game check out Super Volley Blast (seriously how is this game so good, it is just volleyball??)

it looks like the same indie devs have an arcade tennis local multiplayer game too called Super Tennis Blast but I haven’t personally tried it yet like I have the rest of these games

If you are willing to stretch your definition of “sport” here a bit check out the local multiplayer handball brawler Hyper Brawl

Lastly, check out the airhockey meets top down action team based hero game Omega Strikers. This game isn’t pay-to-win and it really deserves a lot of love! Don’t pass it over just because it looks like it could be another live-service casino disguised as a game.

edit silly me I forget to recommend the absolutely phenomenal Lethal League Blaze

fuck you EA

edit 2 - does Rock Of Ages count as a sports game? It certainly has lots of balls, a clear goal for those balls to go in and a set of sensible and logical rules to how those balls get there which leads to mythical stories about heroes, sounds like a sportball game to me so what if the sportball is made of living sheep

It’s interesting what a bubble lemmy users are in. There is a reason it is not taking off.

Yeah, we don’t have millions in VC or private equity funding to dump into marketing and to smooze with the tech press enough for them to actually do their jobs as journalists and cover the fediverse with a modicum more of nuance then “Mastodon is just for nerds, even the Mastodon CEO says so! Use Bluesky, it is corporate and its marketing promises what the fediverse already has so in that sense they are equivalent and lets be honest that means you should use Bluesky.”
