shapez.io VS OpenRA

Shapez , web'de oynanan demosu da var : https://shapez.io/

new to shapez.io , found it 2 day ago after 35 hours finished level 26 thanks to the blueprint library I built . with them its just drag drop and arrange as stages so I end up with 100% efficiency .

Basically I want factorio to look like https://shapez.io

Shapez perhaps?

mindustry perhaps, or see if shapez.io works in mobile browser

is masterplan tycoon like shapez.io or is it more of a puzzle game about solving specific issues. do we build a general "factory" and expand it or focus only on the current problem every time? It is very expensive in Turkey and I wanna be sure before buying it.

You could play a big chunk of the first one online for free at https://shapez.io/ to see if you like the core of the game at no risk (iirc, the free "demo" version on shapez.io includes everything that was in the first version of the game, it just doesn't have all the extra content from the later paid Steam version.)

When I was around that age, I was really into Final Fantasy and the Dragon Warrior series on the NES. I partially attribute them with developing my reading skills and vocabulary.

NES games might be a hard sell for a kid who's already been exposed to flashier games, but the SNES visuals hold up pretty well, and have some of the best RPGs: Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6, Secret of Mana, etc. There are also the Pixel Remaster versions of Final Fantasy 1-6 available on PC and modern consoles. Of course, the problem with RPGs is they're mostly about performing violence...

https://shapez.io/ - Shapez is sort of a Factorio-lite. You "mine" shapes, and perform operations on them to satisfy the game's requirements. It starts out pretty simple, but the difficulty ramps up. The demo is playable in the browser.

https://www.openttd.org/ - OpenTTD is essentially a virtual train set. Yes, there are other modes of transportation available, but the trains are where it shines. Might not really be suitable for a child to play solo, it's rather complex.

Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/

I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)

Obligatory reminder:Red Alert,Command & Conquer, Dune 2000, Rebuilt for the Modern Era.

I recently found an open source version that has been fun (https://www.openra.net/).

You can import those from ISOs: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Game-Content but the campaign is not complete afaik as it needs to be re-built in OpenRA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/4989 (I think this is the related ticket)

Alternatively OpenRA has a bunch of C&C inspired mods: https://www.openra.net I think this way is the easiest way to get a C&C like experience on a M1 Mac right now.
