VVVVVV VS shapez.io

*The Monkey's Paw curls* https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV

VVVVVV at least has since become open source.

VVVVVV - A platformer where you flip gravity instead of jumping. Was recently open-sourced to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary!

Yeah, just look at this beauty! https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV/blob/master/desktop_version/src/Game.cpp

Finally, games are really that complex. Check out for example Terry Cavanagh's blog post on releasing the source code for VVVVVV, and check out the source for Game.cpp (although keep in mind this was ported from ActionScript).

So it seems to be an unofficial policy rather than a written rule, if those allegations are true (remember that those are Wolfire's claims of what Valve said). Certainly there doesn't seem to be consistent enforcement - for instance Tales of Maj'Eyal is free, but $7 on Steam. Apparently there are some minor differences - does that mean that they can claim that it's a "separate version" and hence doesn't need price parity, even though 99.9% of the game is identical? There's also VVVVVV, which is open source (albeit years after initial commercial release) where you can freely build the exact same copy as on Steam ($5), including steamworks support. Does that count as a "separate version" when you just have to compile code? Admittedly these are two indie games, albeit extremely well-known ones, but then - isn't Wolfire Games also an indie studio?

I think it's worth noting VVVVVV has actually been open-sourced https://github.com/TerryCavanagh/VVVVVV

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.
