Hello, I am close to release a Godot made game in Epic Game Store.

As you may know, they offer for the 6 months 100% revenue for me (its caled "Epic first run"), but there is a catch (except the store exclusivity):

It requires integration with EOS, so players will have to confirm a dialog like this:   .

Do you think that would be a big dealbreaker for the potential customers (the requirement is written in the specifications)?

On the other hand, it would allow me to use EOS peer2peer connection and lobby thing and make some leaderboard, but I was not planning for that.

This game is supposed to be just as a test bed for my upcoming main project, that will also have a P2P multiplayer. So I currently dont plan to release this game elsewhere, but dont know for the main game.

According to this part of EFR agreement:

the EOS integration requirement is permanent, even after releasing elsewhere, which would definetly make many steam users upset.

I asked also in other subreddit, more anti-epic-ish, so it would interesting to see also your opinions.

BTW: sorry the typing error in the title.

I realized I have so many games on Epic and haven't played any of them, so I want to install some of them but with 300 of them I don't know where to start. I have an older PC so it won't be able to run those big titles, so other then them which games did you like the most? Genre doesn't matter

Nowhere else would be that cheap that game and I love the show! 2 questions:

1. it is worth it? Far as I know it like the 2013 Star Trek game co-op style
2. Can be played alone with AI like the 2013 game? Since Epic has limited social interface a bit hard to find a player

Review: Sifu – 7/10 (good) 

Sifu is a kung fu beat ‘em up game with five excellent levels. That’s a good thing, because I had to replay them a lot.

The main gimmick of Sifu is aging. Every time the player dies, they are resurrected at the cost of being a few years older. Resurrection is no longer possible after turning 70.

Age also carries through between levels. So it’s easy to get past Sifu’s first boss by just tanking hits and dying over and over again, but this will leave players unprepared for the rest of the game. It’s a cool mechanic that incentivizes beating levels repeatedly to get a good age before moving on.

All of this builds up to a climactic boss fight at the end of Sifu’s fifth level. However, the credits don’t actually roll after defeating him. To get the real ending, it's required to go through the entire game a second time, with the only difference being slightly harder bosses. This path also feels much more confusing narratively.

The second path combined with Sifu’s aging system meant I replayed each level quite a few times. This wasn’t too frustrating, as they’re all beautiful, and the superb combat takes a while to master. But Sifu really does stretch five hours of content into 15.

Want a better idea of my taste in games? Check out my Backloggd.

——————————————————————————————

Journal Entry:

For those who missed the last post, my New Year’s resolution was to beat all of Epic’s weekly, free games and document it on Reddit until May. I could choose any game from the holiday giveaway to start. I decided to go with Sifu, as it seemed to have the most hype. 

I didn’t have any knowledge about the game going in, but Sifu was a blast to play through. Each level has a gorgeous art direction, and the combat system is very similar to Sekiro — one of my favorites. That’s probably why I didn’t find Sifu to be that difficult. I beat every boss in three tries or less on the standard difficulty. It all just felt very familiar in a good way.

Getting Sifu’s true ending took me two days. I had the feeling afterward that it was possibly one of the best games I had played in a year. However, that initial hype has died down. Sifu has a lot of issues, including the overemphasis on replayability that I mentioned in the review portion. It’s a very fun and stylish game, but the thinning of content over a 15-hour runtime has prevented Sifu from leaving the long-term impact I expected.

I’m still very glad that I played it. I never would have if not for this challenge. Sifu was also just a good first game to play, considering it’s both fun and relatively short. There won’t be the luxury to choose one of multiple games going forward, so I’d better prepare for some interesting stuff. 

On that note, next week’s game is Turmoil. I know nothing besides that it looks like a building simulator. See you all then!

Good afternoon, I want to share my event with you, today I announced my first game. I am a novice developer from Kazakhstan.

A parkour game set in a cyberpunk city. I tried to recreate a foggy city where you can move around using parkour elements without restrictions. The gameplay should have been quite interesting.

I will be glad for feedback, if you are interested, I will leave all the necessary links on top.

I will be grateful for the likes and activity.

For me the answer is 24 %. To find out select list view, go to last page that has minutes played tracked. Multiply each page with amount of items on page (default is 24).

I have stopped claiming games that I have absolutely no interest in ever playing. Otherwise my number would probably be under 15 %. I only claimed about 20 games this year.

Of the free games that have been available through epic game stories which one should I try first? Ones that I have gone through any really enjoyed were Frostpunk, call of the Wild, gta V, and Civ 6. I pretty much all except for a few games so I’m looking for suggestions on the next game to play. I’ve tried Brotato and couple others but they didn’t really click.

So what was your favorite from this year now we've wrapped up? Anything you tried and liked? Psyched to try something out but haven't gotten a chance yet?

I've tried out Wizard of Legend and Kill Knight, and can see myself putting some serious hours later into both of them. Vampire Survivors is probably the highest for me here, though I already had it. If you haven't given it a whirl it's a blast.

Though what I'm probably most excited for is playing Hot Wheels with my kid. He's gonna lose his mind, just haven't had the chance to get to it yet with all the holiday stuff going on.

What was your favorite?

I got many games I actually wanted to play like

1. vampire survivors
2. Hot Wheels Unleashed
3. Sifu
4. Hell Let Loose
5. Ghostrunner 2

KCD and Control were amazing too but I already bought them last year so wasn't particularly interesting to me, but I'm happy for others less fortunate.

Which games are you happy to get this mystery games event?

I'm extremely happy to get so many games for free and it was an awesome experience guessing clues, fighting over conflicting clue ideas and waiting to see the next game leak one hour before by u/MeguminShiro.

At last thanks Tim Sweeney and Epicgames store for making our festival so special.
