"I've had this idea for 25 years": Solo dev behind single-player MMO with fake simulated players insists "I do not plan to add multiplayer" as it soars on Steam

Respect for the GOG link (gotta reduce Steam's monopoly-like grip on digital games), but... CrossCode, despite its fantastic presentation, wore me down to the point of not finishing it. I feel like the devs ran out of ideas halfway through because **all** of the dungeons involve multiple ricochet-angling puzzles, even all the way to the last one. They just got so tedious and boring that I eventually ended up "finishing" by watching someone else's play-through. It has an interesting plot, but... yeah. Anyway, that was my personal experience.I struggled with it as well. My main problem seemed to be that no matter how many side quests I did, I was still underleveled for most enemy encounters. I did read that upgrading gear is worth more than levels, but it was such a grind to go and find all the materials that I eventually got bored. Shame though, because it's really well made.

I have not played either of these, but the premise of a dead post-MMO world, [PAGAN: Autogeny](https://oleandergarden.itch.io/pagan3), seems personally more interesting to me.That looks like it's probably a great game for someone like 5 years older than me tbh. I think I _just_ missed the nostalgia train necessary for that kind of game

If you're interested in this sort of thing and like action/adventure rpgs, give [Crosscode](https://store.steampowered.com/app/368340/CrossCode/) a shot. it's excellentWhat’s this gotta do with fake MMO? The games aren’t even related, they’re different genres.

This post did not contain any content.I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot. It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.

But will they play like idiots and then offend my mom when I complain? Otherwise I'm not buying.

One review I just read on steam said "great if you have dad game hours"

This post did not contain any content.Tldr: Game title is Enshrouded. That article (as well as many others nowadays) don't even bother putting a link to the steam page. And the game name, yet again, not in the title, hence you have to read everything to know what it is about. Internet now is so crappy and I ly click baity. The game looks fun though, so I'll go out of my way and actively search for Enshrouded on steam myself like a peasant.

When did .Hack//Sign come out, again?It's so fucking weird that this game/anime is all I've been thinking about for the last week and now to see it mentioned in the wild, unprompted. Guys, quit mind reading/algorithming me. This and the ghibli shit. No one should have to vibe this much with the internet.

I think there's actually a rule against it... seen as pandering/advertising? I may be mistaken though.
