I've started playing Above Snakes and I really like the mechanic where you build the world instead of just exploring what's already there.

What asynchronous games, or games with asynchronous features would you recommend?
What asynchronous games, or games with asynchronous features would you recommend?
A recent example being Death Stranding and its light social features of indirectly building/maintaining structures or leaving helpful equipment around. The Souls' games message system is another even lighter example.
I enjoy these indirect, optional social features in some games, but they seem few and far between.
Preferably no MMOs/always online game recommendations. Thanks in advance!

Facial Tracking in inZOI Character Studio
I made a quick video on the facial tracking inside the inZOI Character Studio as I thought it was awesome. I was not expecting this level of detail and I'm very much looking forward to the game releasing now!
This is going to blow The Sims 4 out of the water!

Games to replace Total War: Warhammer 3 with?
@games Games to replace Total War: Warhammer 3 with?
There have been rumors/controversies about the next #totalwar Warhammer 3 DLC, while I don't personally believe them, it's true that we're reaching the lifecycle end of this franchise, I'm thinking of a contingency plan, I've played this series since 2017, and to replace with something else is going to take a while.
Still, here are some of my ideas, and I would like to hear others from the community
Online scifi space game Starbase resumes development after an extended pause!

For those unfamiliar, Starbase is an ambitious in-development online multiplayer game that has a mixture of first-person on-foot, and vehicular gameplay, with the ability to build ships and stations.
Awhile back its development was paused as the studio had to focus their resources on a different game, but now they're back to working on Starbase.
What kinds of games might you recommend with deep worldbuilding and interaction that aren't RPGs?
What kinds of games might you recommend with deep worldbuilding and interaction that aren't RPGs?
I like worldbuilding and stories, and I like when they're mixed with the interactivity of games, so RPGs seem like they should be a natural fit. Problem is, I dislike the stat-heavy, grindy progression of many RPGs.
I enjoy point & click adventures and visual novels but they're often more limited in their interactions. What kinds of game might I be missing combining the two?
Horn of Balance - an indie 2D zelda-like
Horn of Balance - an indie 2D zelda-like
I'm developing 'Horn of Balance', a 2D zelda-like featuring 12 non-linear dungeons, 2 interconnected worlds and a TON of secrets.
Right now, the project is live on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hornofbalance/horn-of-balance) and we've almost hit the funding goal with just 24 hours left!
There's also a free demo on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2738140/HornofBalance/) and Itch.
I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!
Suggestions for a non-survival building game with a similar scale/level of detail to Lego Worlds?
Suggestions for a non-survival building game with a similar scale/level of detail to Lego Worlds?
I've found myself with this interest once more, and looking about, it seems like there's still not much like ol' Lego Worlds.
However, I'm hoping I may be overlooking something right in front of me, and no, from what I've seen, Lego Fortnite is not that option. Non-generated world I think, different building style, simply a different sort of game despite the same branding.
A game I recently started playing is ToME or Tales of Maj'Eyal. It is a roguelike singleplayer game.
A game I recently started playing is ToME or Tales of Maj'Eyal. It is a roguelike singleplayer game.
It has been around since 2010, but it goes all the way back if we count its predecessors. It is also an open-source game.
As of this post:
There are already 3 expansions.
The 4th expansion is set to enter beta testing soon.
The 5th expansion is already being developed in parallel.
Give it a try, available in Linux, Windows, and OSX. (Also available via Steam.)
Check the official website for screenshots, videos, and more information!

A bit of history based on what I was able to find:
Originally named: Tales of Middle-Earth: The Fourth Age. Set 122 years after the fall of Sauron.
In 2010-11-21, the game setting was changed entirely into a new one. See: https://te4.org/news?page=27
Its predecessor was “Tales of Middle Earth”. See: https://www.t-o-m-e.net

My first game Mushy Score is out on Steam! I have been creating games since I was a child but never felt like a real game dev. Now I finally have a game that I can show to other people.
Mushy Score is a 2D Roguelike where you fight against endless waves of enemies. Collect points and try to get a high score! I am super exited for the release !

Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?
Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?
I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?
