I’m working on a body-swapping mechanic for my game. ( Yes, you can even become a cat...)

One of the core mechanics in The Infected Soul is body swapping.

Different bodies unlock different ways to explore, solve puzzles, and survive.

Yes... you can even become a cat. 🐈

This is an early prototype, so we'd love to hear your thoughts. What kind of bodies or abilities would you like to see?

Quiet gamer wanting friends

33 Upvotes

Hellooo, lately I have found myself lacking friends to play games with. When I was younger I would join discords and play in big groups but as I have gotten older (26F), I have noticed I dont have the energy and just want one or two people to play quietly with regularly. I struggle speaking up when in groups or inserting myself and often find them too loud and energetic. Are there any mature quiet/chill gamers who would welcome me into their group or just play duo with me? I used to play a lot of Overwatch but lately just been playing cozy games or Fortnite (to collect sprites lol). Would be open to trying new games with the right people. Edit: I play on PC

Hey folks.
Posting this here as it's quite a niche item and I feel someone may be interested or know someone who could be interested.
I'm selling my Taikoller arcade size drum for Taiko no Tatsujin. It's been a while since I've used it feel like someone still active in the game will appreciate it way more.

I'm based in Wellington but can post it. It's all hosted on TradeMe for peace of mind.

18F looking for warthunder teammates :)

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone!! I’m looking for other female or people around my age to play warthunder with me and my boyfriend.

My highest BR is 8.0 USA ground and I’m currently grinding a different line in the tech tree. I am also grinding Sweden on the side. I really enjoy 6.7 USA and I am trying to grind to top tier as I really want to join a squadron and do squadron battles.

I am quite new to the game as I am currently level 20 but this game has sparked a big interest in tanks for me!! I’ve never played Air but I’m keen to learn.

It’s really hard to find other women who play this game so if you’re interested, hit me up!!

EDIT: I also really like playing marvel rivals comp, RDR+RDR2, Elden ring, overwatch, stray, and many others

29M looking for gaming friends/ duo :)

11 Upvotes

Hey! 👋

I'm looking for anyone down to game with, preferbably around a similar age range or older.

I'm into alternative/experimental music, films, show series, art and any creative based stuff. An easy-going, chill, silly, open minded type of guy. If you can hold a conversion, dabble in the some banter and have an odd sense of humour then we would most likely get along 😉.

I mostly play a lot of PVP shooters like unranked Fortnite ZB and Marvel Rivals QP/ casual Comp (strat main) on PS5.

I game on weekdays, during the evenings and weekends. I work freelance and part-time so I can usually make time to play.

Send me a DM chat if you're interested in gaming and let me know a little bit about yourself, stranger :)

Ciao! 👌🏻

24/f looking for friends

23 Upvotes

Hey there, the only game I mostly play is old school RuneScape
I haven’t played in a few months, but I’m looking to get back into it and make new friends.
Because of reasons, I’m not able to work or get out much, so I don’t have many people to talk to. I’m looking for people I could have a genuine connection with, someone who might also be feeling the same way as me.
I live in the Otago area if anyone also may be close or nearby.
I’m open to playing new games, just please give me a message if you’d like to chat :)

Anybody playing Minecraft bedrock?

5 Upvotes

Got back into it a couple days ago and joined a few realms but all of their regions are set to Nevada etc & the one kiwi server I found had cool people in the discord but their bedrock server was dead.

Anybody got a realm / server I could join? Preferably 18+ since my favourite time of the day’s 4:20 , beggars can’t be choosers so don’t have too many preferences on anything else. But surely miss us with the non consensual ultra pink textures packs

Ja Bless 🍃

Wondering what the player population is like on the new PlayStation ports for Black Ops 1 and 2? Is it easy to find games with decent connection here?

I have 2100 budget and want to buy parts to build a pc. I know nothing about pc though. Anyone know parts I can I buy to build a pc that'll be really good for current games like cyberpunk right to gta6 when it drops.

I’m a solo developer working on a free browser MMORPG - looking for feedback

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a solo developer from Poland and recently launched Velderis, a free fantasy MMORPG that runs directly in the browser.

The game has turn-based combat, quests, dungeons, PvP, guilds, equipment upgrades, an auction house and a player-driven economy. The server is still young, so the rankings, guild rivalries and economy are only starting to develop.

I’m still actively improving the game, especially the first part of the player experience. I’d really appreciate honest feedback on whether the beginning is clear, what is confusing or needs more explanation.

No download is required, and the game is available in English:

https://velderis.com

Thanks for taking a look. I’ll be reading and responding to all feedback here.

Looking for some casual D2R friends (PC Ladder - New Zealand)

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a few people to play Diablo 2: Resurrected with on PC Ladder.
I’m a casual player from New Zealand and usually play most evenings after work. It would be great to have some people to level with, farm together, trade, help each other out, or just chat while playing.
I’m not looking for speedruns or anything super hardcore—just a relaxed group of people who enjoy the game and don’t mind helping each other.
If you’re in NZ, Australia, or a similar time zone, even better! But I’m happy to play with anyone as long as our schedules line up.
Feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM if you’re interested.
Happy farming, and may your next drop be a Ber! 😄
