Your podcast is a profanity. Welcome back! Today on NOCLIP Pocket, we're going to be talking about Solar Ash, a movement-based 3D platformer which was developed by Heart Machine, the developer of Hyperlight Drifter. While the aesthetic and other stylistic elements of this game relate back to Hyperlight Drifter, this game is very much a departure from the type of thing that that game was, and I think it may be this difference that made it fly so far under the radar of so many people, even those that were fans of their first game. Solar Ash is a platformer that places its emphasis strongly on its movement mechanics. Your character skates around the terrain like they have a pair of rocket-powered Heelys, making use of momentum to jump large gaps and navigate tighter obstacles with a host of context sensitive mechanics like grappling hook points and bouncy surfaces. The game also has a unique approach to boss design, mixing the fluid movement with Shadow of the Colossus-style encounters by forcing you to navigate your way up onto them and then accomplish a timed platforming challenge to deal damage. The weakest part of the game, however tends to be in its level design, though there was much disagreement between us as to what specifically we found good and bad, so we encourage you to give it a try if it seems interesting and make your own decision. We're going to be talking about how movement mechanics really make this game what it is, our favorite and least favorite levels and why we disagree so much on their quality, and we make a quick note of IKEA's diminishing influence in this developer's work. Thank you for joining us again this week! We love to talk about all kinds of games, but the ones that don't get much attention hold a special place in our heart. And this was no different. We may have fallen into different camps on this game in the end, but it was still a fascinating experience to have and offers insight into how games like this are designed, especially with how different it is from the developer's previous work and how well the mechanics came together. Did you play this when it came out, or were you one of the many people who seemed to miss this one? Let us know over in our Discord or in the comments! Next time, we're going back to the GameCube (which would be more novel if we hadn't just done Monkey Ball a few months ago) and talking about FROM Software's card game RPG, Lost Kingdoms, so be sure to join us for that, if only to say how much better it would have fit as the Pocket companion for Inscryption and we just barely missed it.
Slow down, Pac-Podcast! Welcome back NOCLIP Pocket! Today, we're going to be talking about Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, which is among the stranger entries in the Pac-Man franchise. In Pac-Man 2, you guide Pac-Man around a world map to accomplish goals, most of which are mundane chores, by shooting at things with a slingshot or directing his attention, making the game a sort of second-person adventure game. You'll need to identify objects that will help you and avoid the ones that won't while managing both Pac-Man's attention as well as his mood. This makes the game fluctuate between being a colorful shooting gallery where you're often surprised by the results of your actions and a kind of tedious experience once you figure out what needs to be done and just need to make it happen through all the curve balls the game throws at you. Despite this dichotomy, this is still an extremely unique game that uses a familiar character in an extremely unexpected way and is worth taking a look at, particularly if you're interested in the history of games. We're going to be talking about the amount of environmental interaction the game encourages with its systems, the strangeness of the concepts and mechanics and we crack into the real Pac-lore this game sheds light on. Thank you for joining us again this week! This was the game that actually inspired “Fan-bruary” a few months back and we felt like we should definitely do an episode on it even if we didn't manage to squeeze it in back then. It certainly is an odd one and is appealing in that "you don't see that very often” kind of way. Have you played this game? Or even heard of it? Let us know in the comments or over on Discord. Next time, we're going to be talking about Solar Ash, the third-person platformer (kind of?) from the creator of Hyperlight Drifter, so be sure to check back then.
Solar Ash by Heart Machine is what happens when the creators of Hyper Light Drifter play a bit too much Jet Set Radio. Skate through the vibrant yet dying worlds as Rei: the last Voidrunner. Her goal is to prevent the Ultravoid from swallowing the known universe into its abyssal innards. Each area features an epic creature that will stop at nothing to keep Rei from her mission. Unfortunately for the Ultravoid's minions, Rei only grows more cunning and agile as this adventure progresses. Mark, Dave, and Dan each take their chances against the all-consuming black hole. Will they emerge victorious, or discover an even darker truth to the circumstances before them? Then, Mark challenges Dave and Dan to create an accurate release timeline of games. Who will be able to retrace the footsteps of gaming history? MAIN TOPIC: 25:25 TRIVIAL TASTEMAKER: 1:03:20 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dinosaur-machines/message

Two weeks ago, during our best games of 2021 podcast, I made an offhand remark about Balan Wonderworld, a game in which you have an economy based on small creatures called tims, which you literally throw onto the gears of capitalism. I figured I'd expand on what I meant by that. Tims are little creatures that hatch from eggs, and live on the isle o' tims, which is your hub world. They have distinguishing markings like stripes or different cute ears and stuff like that, but functionally they all want to do the same two things: eat, and procreate. The other thing they can be compelled to do is work, which is what they spend most of their time doing. At the start of the game, the only real structure in the island is a Conan the Barbarian-like turnstyle that has the appearance of a gear. next to that is a long black signboard that flips and makes a big clacking sound as numbers go up. To make that number go up faster, you can pick up your tims and toss them into this turnstyle, which eventually makes them push it. So that's what I meant by throwing them onto the gears of capitalism. As your number goes up – and by the way it's not clear what this number represents, but let's say it's money – more structures unlock. The sole function of most of these structures is to enable more tims to do more work. There are little elevators that take them up into simple rube goldberg machines, which drop them through a series of gates and slides, before depositing them back on the ground to start the process over again. Some tims are never released into the world, they simply exist underground, turning a giant wheel. The floor is transparent so that you can watch them work. All of this is work simply for the sake of work, because the only thing that is created out of this constant grind is a number that goes up, and then an occasional structural addition that theoretically enables more work to be done. But the apparatus itself is inefficiently designed. Tims get regularly jammed up at elevators. Two of them will try to enter a slide at the same time and be stuck for a while, causing a massive traffic jam behind them. There are regularly a dozen tims, piled on top of each other, stacked two or three high, bouncing up and down on an elevator to try to get to work, but unable to do so. Of course, after a while there is more than one elevator. There are two, and then three. But the tims never take the second or third route – the first is easiest to slide into, so almost every tim takes that path. The number doesn't seem to go up much faster when tims take the other two paths either, so why should they bother? I also mentioned that tims want to eat, but I didn't tell you that what you feed them is gems. You feed them one kind of money in order to make a different kind of money. Gems are something I can collect for free in game stages, and which Balan themselves will double if I complete their minigame. Once you feed the tims enough to grow large, there are unique kinds of apparatus these rich tims can use to generate money, but they never want to do it. They're full now and they don't want to work. They just want to procreate, which happens when you throw a medium-sized tim at a large one. They instantly create an egg, which hatches a tim that's too small to work. Feed them a few gems and they will become a worker and join the grind. The structure you're building is the somewhat ominously-named Clock of Happiness. The name of this structure, whose purpose is never revealed by the way, keeps coming to mind as I see these little guys toiling away to make my numbers go up. There's a special platform that I can use to view the operation from all angles. It allows me to keep tabs on all my workers and is accessibly only by me. Even with all that I still don't exactly understand what it is I'm forcing them to work so hard to construct. But I have found myself, as the defacto boss of this operation, staring at the jammed up elevators, looking at my non-spinning turnstyle, surrounded by tims peeping at me for gems that I don't have, and thinking “get back to work!” I toss them into the gears and they start it up again. This game may not be an intentional allegory to capitalism but it's an effective one anyway. This system definitely came from somewhere deep inside of somebody. The game is cynical about work, bosses, and the worker, all by turns. It's no wonder Yuji Naka quit after making it. Discuss this episode in the forums!

December is here and the snow is upon (some of) us, so this week, we're taking a look at games that let us step back from the action, take a deep breath, and nail someone real good with a snowball. Then we'll get into early impressions of Halo Infinite, jump belatedly into Solar Ash, get excited for Dr. Dre in GTA Online, and hear your thoughts on whether PlayStation Plus and Games with Gold should stick around.

Esta edição do MotherChip é uma montanha-russa de emoções. A conversa tem início com ataques desmedidos e cruéis contra a aquisição de um controle (lindo) por parte do Heitor, mas os ânimos se acalmam quando o assunto entra em jogos e abordamos Solar Ash, Sherlock Holmes: Chapter One e algumas coisas mais. No entanto, antes da gente finalizar, os humores entram em ebulição quando Teixeira narra sua empreitada para instalar um SSD em seu computador. Fica o aviso, provavelmente nunca tivemos tantos palavrões em um episódio. Participantes: Henrique Sampaio Caio Teixeira Heitor De Paola Assuntos abordados: 12:00 - Solar Ash 39:00 - Sherlock Holmes Chapter One 1:09:00 - They Always Run 1:12:00 - Teixeira tenta instalar um SSD (atenção, muitos palavrões) 1:30:00 - Halo Infinite Venha fazer parte do Discord do Overloadr!

Se nos va un buen trozo del programa, esta semana, con Battlefield 2042. Entre los cambios que anunció EA para la franquicia y los innumerables problemillas –el último se lo trajo el mismísimo Papá Noel–, el juego de DICE y Ripple Effect acapara la actualidad a falta de anuncios; puede que la cosa cambie pronto, con The Game Awards, pero no nos ponemos de acuerdo al intentar fijar las expectativas.Los lanzamientos, por suerte, no paran. Nos había quedado pendiente Exo One y también hemos estado probando Solar Ash y Wildermyth. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
