      @@555Soupy555 To further clarify: Tasmanian Tigers (also known as Thylacine) were a kind of 'wolf like' marsupial native to Australia that well slowly got pushed back more and more until they were only left on the island of Tasmania then numbers there started dropping too and well. The last known member of the species died in captivity at Hobart Zoo back in 1936...
      The Tasmanian Devil is ALSO an animal, specifically a sort of 'possum/badger like' black furred -very angry little bastard- marsupial native specifically to Tasmania and they fortunately are very much still around though their conservation status is listed as 'Threatened' (poor little things have a rather nasty contagious face cancer that has been absolutely shredding their population numbers).
      The loony tunes Tasmanian Tiger cartoon character was very loosely based on them but other than 'sort of' having roughly the same heavy set body type and making crazy noises that make it sound angry, the cartoon character doesn't have much in common with the animal it's based on. It *does* however get people interested in the animal and helps encourage people to help protect the species though so its a win regardless though? XD

      At this point, most indie games have similar tropes that don't do something new. Of course proper disclaimer, not all indie games are this way and yes I do play some, but it's pretty hard to not guess where many are going go these days because of said tropes they fall into.
      1. Is title creative or just adjective mumble jumble that basically tells you the whole game like it was a pitch meeting?
      2. Does game involve cute and sometimes young protagonist paired with adult/wise mentor like figure? One of you is gonna die.
      3. Is the word "emotional" used at all in official press release, game's page, or other official entries from the publisher themselves?
      If it's none of these, it's probably a card battler clone or "simulator" game with no story and just gameplay concepts you've played already with retro art graphics.

    Glad to see Endling get some love! Stray is so much more of a "mainstream" game (super easy, lots of love and attention poured into how it looks, really wants to give you a sense of importance and influence on its world in spite of you literally just being a cat) so obviously it was always going to sell far better, but I honestly think Endling is more compelling, as well as more engaging.
    It's harder to justify the price since (even though they both have around the same runtime to complete) Stray has all the extra work put into AAA style presentation, but I think Endling has a lot more going for it overall and I do hope it catches its time in the sun. It lives up to the premise of playing as an animal so much better, and the storytelling they put into it being delivered wordlessly through a few interactions and a TON of environmental storytelling is narratively very satisfying. Even if the bittersweet ending (well, the 'good' ending, anyway) might lean too hard on the bitter. FWIW, I'd say Yahtzee is too harsh on the ending, as it's left up to interpretation how things will go from there... maybe not the case if you weren't a good fox-mom though~

    • @MaskedMammal
      @MaskedMammal Год назад

      The game is an odd one for sure, sitting somewhere in between a simulator (failing to feed or protect your cubs isn't a game over) and a scripted narrative game. I'd go in expecting a bit more linearity, and less control over how you progress in the map overall, as you're very much subject to the whims of Whatever the Humans Were Doing Yesterday. Makes for interesting environmental storytelling, and the stakes keep your attention on survival.
      I do think the game is ripe for an expansion/update of some sort that could make it more open-ended, though. More randomly generated events and such, a bigger map and no time limit, taking place over a longer timescale (maybe food simply lasts you a lot longer so you're not scavenging every night) and adding more threats with permadeath, and switching to play as one of the cubs when you die. Could be the cubs are very weak if you didn't last long enough to pass on skills and get them old enough. I certainly think they laid the groundwork to make it possible.

    In endling, your cubs DO keep up for a short while if you press the bark button. But I think that they run slower if you're not barking makes it more intense. The cubs are young and unaware of the threats, the mother is torn between hurrying to find the lost one, and slowing down to protect the three not yet lost.
    Anyway, the game had me all in tears, I know I cry easily when animals get hurt or people do a ton of hurting and call it business as usual, but this game hit hard, and that's also why I got it, I knew I would FEEL it, you know. I have been directly active in several ways in movements for animal liberation, including but definitely not limited to sabotaging (fox and other) hunts and, let's say more dangerous stuff still than pissing off armed killers with a lust for the spilling of some blood, just for fun, or for "food", or "fur". Or just "a nice day out in nature with father and son", that wouldn't be possible without hurting innocent creatures just having a nice day out in nature, otherwise. Obviously.
