Hello r/Games! o/
Thanks to Gladiabots, my first game as a solo dev, I’ve been able to work full-time on No Plan B for the past 3 years.
The pitch: Assemble your squad, gear up, and lead your ops in gripping tactical missions with no room for failure. Plan the best course of action and watch it play out through brutal rogue-like campaigns, procedurally generated buildings and community-made missions.
Take a look at the trailer.
Choose between 4 factions and stop terrorists as a SWAT team, help the FBI rescue hostages or join the dark side and heist banks or fight for your territory as gangsters.
There’s also a cinematic replay system to help you create epic videos from your best missions.
All that and more in this commented gameplay video.
No Plan B has been in early access for a few months and received very positive reviews (94%). I plan to release the full game early 2023.
You can wishlist, try the free demo or buy the game from the Steam page.
Key Features:
- Old-school gameplay inspired by Thief, Commandos, The Sting!, We happy few etc.
- More than 15 robberies in various locations (slums, mansions, prison, ministry, etc.).
- Immersive behavior of enemies. Hostile characters live their own lives, interact with each other, react to noise and notice missing items.
- Dozens of different tools and useful gadgets (from distracting whistles to sleeping darts).
- RPG-like character leveling system with over 50 different skills and specializations.
- A deep dystopian storyline. Help others, find out other people’s secrets, destroy the plans of villains. Satire and black humor are present.
Target release date: end of 2022.

Hello, this is summary post of all translators and translation layers, that I have found, available for Windows, that can run any DirectX game with OpenGL, Vulkan and even DirectX12! This post incudes important links, small comparison and guides for each translator.
So to the point. This video inspired me to research this topic. It has some good results, but I wanted to expand the scope to other API and to find any positive difference, such as avg,1% lows, 0.1% lows with same settings, for a given game.
A selection of tests with each API in a given game:
As you can see, some translations can compete with standart API and be a little faster.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
To install use 7zip or other file archiver to open archives:
Heres small description for the translators, download links and guides:
DXVK - converts DirectX to Vulkan, Used in Linux to play non-native games and can give performance boost …
This is just absolutely crazy now haha. I’ve never had so much headaches just trying to play games. My Windows account and Xbox game account are two different accounts, they’re all trying to link to other shit and work with different platform accounts. Xbox/Microsoft support said it’s impossible and will never work (Worked for the past 3 months of the game pass deal) and I ended up getting it working anyway.
Just tried to install battlefield 1 via xbox and it requires the EA Desktop app which requires you to not be running the old Origin client otherwise it tells you it isn’t superman and closes.. It’s an absolute joke hahaha.
I get Steam was a bit of a monopoly before, but that’s because it is actually good and just works with no bullshit UI. I go to Steam, I click buy/install/play, and it loads.
Does anyone else wish it just went back to Steam, or do people actually prefer having multiple launchers?
Sorry for the long text, I got a bit emotional and nostalgic writing this as memories just flooded out and I got carried away.
​
Anyway, I was curious, what is/are your comfort game/s? Games that calm you down in an instant, let you unwind, make you feel at peace and just, well give you some comfort.
​
For me personally, it’s a threesome. On the one hand, Test Drive Unlimited 1; the sheer freedom of driving along Honolulu in some of my favourite cars, in this old, buggy and simplistic game that I’ve been replaying at least once every year for 15 years now. It’s just nostalgia on crack for me. A time when racing games, gaming itself - and life - was a lot simpler. Sure it’s dated and I’ve tried other big open world racing games like the most recent Need for Speeds, The Crew 1 & 2 and Forza Horizons 3-5, but still, whenever I need a fix of open world racing I immediately think of TDU.
Then there’s Assassin’s Creed …
I loved playing Battlefield 2 with bots and go bored quickly of the bots in 2042 because the matches play out the same way everytime. Are there any “conquest” type modes in a multiplayer game that have bots in it? Or something like Ravenfield with better AI? I love the intense battles that can happen but don’t want to have to actually try to make a difference on the battlefield. If anyone has recommendations for games please let me know! Thank you!
hello peoples,
I am looking for a game that focuses on realism. I do not need a simulator lol. However, one thing that is a HUGE pet peeve of mine is when games make ships not to scale (if you want big powerful ships just use razee variants). This is one reason why I can’t enjoy Sea of Thieves as much as I want to (apart from the lack of meaningful progression). If I want to be a pirate, I should be able to take all the weight saved from not having a 50-100 man marine detachment and use it on deck-mounted swivel guns loaded with grapeshot. I want a game where if I rake the enemy vessel, it’s going to properly cripple the fighting strength of the crew.
I have played and at least partially enjoyed: Sea of Thieves, Atlas (if only the game was not broken 24⁄7), Windward, Naval Action, Port Royale 4, and black wake. I think I would be just happy with a naval version of holdfast nations at war, to be honest. It does not need to be open-world or sandbox in any way. I think …
