My understanding of the Creative Commons licenses is that they are for providing permission to people to use something that they wouldn't be able to otherwise, due to copyright or other issues. I don't think the licenses are capable of limiting what people can do with something if it's already the wild west, or do I have that wrong?

Cool system; thanks for the run through!

Is it here in the post? I've looked all over and can't find mention of that. There's the video of the author clearing it, but that doesn't imply that all levels are beatable.

Looks like that's still the case. His website only seems to be a place where you can donate or volunteer. Guess his campaign is just focused on social media now? I get the potential value in that; it's like old-school campaigning. But wouldn't you still want a clear and easy place outside of videos where people can reference your values, accomplishments, and further goals?

Sony has already stated they are working on PC support and hope to release it this year: https://blog.playstation.com/2024/02/22/coming-soon-to-ps-vr2-zombie-army-vr-little-cities-bigger-wanderer-the-fragments-of-fate-the-wizards-dark-times-brotherhood-and-more/

The sword of Damocles hung only by a single hair.

Cool idea! I'm not really into survival or tower defense games, but I like the theme and the look of the whole thing. Survival games seem to be getting a lot of attention these days, so I hope you're able to attract some of that because it seems like a cool idea for those into it.

Hopefully it also gives emulator devs a push to separate out the ROM decrypting piece from future emulators and make them only work with decrypted roms. Then the decryption piece can just be shared under the table, and the biggest piece of development, the emulator, will be protected.

Seriously, especially with all of the early leaks. That person was so self-important they decided to try to get Nintendo to take Yuzu down; it makes sense that they would also think they were the ones that caused it when Nintendo finally took action.

It's heavily inspired by Chrono Trigger...heavily. It's got dual-techs, the writing feels very similar at times, the equipment has predictable scaling as the story progresses, and lots more. The dialog is a bit saccharine for my taste; I've far preferred Chrono Trigger's. Chrono Trigger has pleasant and supportive characters, but it hasn't ever felt over the top. Sea of Stars also has some modern niceties, like timed presses for defense and offense, some interesting spell-boosting mechanics, it's very pretty at times, etc. And it plays on jrpg tropes at times in a fun way, and didn't feel like it overstayed its welcome. Since you love Chrono Trigger, my best guess is that I think you'd have fun with Sea of Stars. It won't blow your mind by any means, but I don't think you'd regret spending time with it.

I've started and stopped it a number of times over the past 20 years or so, and I'm finally playing it all the way through right now. At least one of those times was because I thought I HAD to fight Lavos through the bucket and thought I was expected to grind until I could defeat it lol. This time, I've found it really remarkable how tight it is and how well it still holds up today. Even though Sea of Stars came out last year, it feels like Chrono Trigger could have been released alongside it and it would only feel a bit more dated in some respects.

I don't know Rune well; got excited that there was a new group jumping in on cracking Denuvo. Looks like it's just a Denuvo-less version that got released, whether intentional or not. That'll work too!
