Regulators: Tactical Gameplay in a Chaotic City

REGULATORS top-down tactical action game is shaping up to be something epic on Linux, Mac, and Windows PC in a demo. All thanks to the creative minds at Orangepixel. Which you can try yourself on Steam. REGULATORS throws you into a chaotic city overrun by mutants, thanks to some sketchy alien goop called the Ooze. You and your AI-controlled recruit are the last line of defense. Due to take down these twisted enemies with tactical teamwork, big guns, and — some superpowers of your own.

The Ooze Hits the Fan

It all started when an asteroid crashed into the city, spilling out this weird substance. At first, people thought it was just some new underground drug, but then the mutations kicked in. Gangsters, lowlifes, and even random city dwellers started turning into monsters. And just like that, the city went straight to hell. Now, more of these freaks are showing up, and it’s up to you to stop the spread before there’s nothing left to save.

Tactical Combat with Backup

REGULATORS isn’t just about running in guns blazing (though you can if you want). You’ve got an AI-controlled recruit at your side — kind of like your own personal action-movie sidekick. Whether you take the lead or let them handle the dirty work, they’ll get stronger as you play. While learning to breach doors, set explosives, gather intel, and take down enemies more effectively. And yeah, you’ll need every advantage. Between the mutant hordes and the chaos of the city, you’ll be fighting to stay alive every step of the way.

Superpowers? Yeah, You’ve Got Those Too

The Ooze doesn’t just turn people into monsters — it’s also given you some serious abilities. Each character in REGULATORS has their own special skills and dodge moves that can turn the tide of battle. Mastering these powers is key to survival, especially when you’re up against the deadliest mutations yet.

REGULATORS of the Chaos

With 15+ missions spread across apartments, hospitals, banks, scrapyards, and more, there’s no shortage of places to clean up. Thanks to a mix of procedurally generated missions and handcrafted level design, every run keeps things fresh. You’ll never quite know what’s waiting for you around the next corner. As the Couch Co-Op event closes out on Steam, don't fear, the REGULATORS demo will be available once it ends. Grab a friend and check out the co-op gameplay in the free Linux demo.

Can You Stop Dr. OozeBrain?

There’s a mastermind behind all this madness, and his name says it all—Dr. OozeBrain. If you’ve got the guts, grab your gear, lead your squad, and take him down before the city falls for good. Want a taste of the action? So try the free REGULATORS demo on Steam for Linux, Mac, and Windows PC. The full launch date is TBD.

CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM TO VOTE FOR TO STOP MILITARY FUNDING FOR ISRAEL!

Sanders has introduced resolutions in Congress that would prevent a $20 billion weapons transfer to Israel. Please call your senators and tell them to vote yes on these resolutions! This is something that you can do to prevent the country sending more money to fund this genocide

Daisuke to me represents the type of person who you have to bottle up your pain around because they are ill equipped to handle it. He would realistically not know what to do realizing that among the people he idolizes one is this horrendous monster, especially since he is so optimistic to a hazardous level to himself.

This makes his relationship with Anya so upsetting because as much as he could confide in her she could never confide in him. That very conscious fact/choice on her part is a constant reminder of her suffering along with the hopeless inability to do anything herself about it that ruins her mental state more.

Experience the Thrills of Inkbound: A Tactical Co-op Adventure

Inkbound the turn-based tactical action roguelike game game is aiming at Proton for Linux and Steam Deck with Windows PC. Thanks to the team at Shiny Shoe for their ongoing efforts. Currently available on Steam Early Access. Shiny Shoe, the indie crew that brought Monster Train to life, is about to make some changes in Inkbound. This tactical co-op adventure is leveling up big time in April. We're talking the full package, the 1.0 update, and it's also a giant leap forward. But for native support, not really.

...we don't have plans to make a native Linux build. However, the game plays well via Proton.

Just heard back from the folks at Shiny Shoe! They've been crafting Inkbound with Unity 3D, and as they wrap up the Early Access phase, there's a bit of a twist. Instead of rolling out a native build as I was hoping, with its 89% Very Positive reviews, they're putting their energy into Proton support for Linux and Steam Deck. What to expect in the launch? Get ready for a brand-new story. Due to dive deep into an epic quest, facing off against a massive threat that could end it all. Whether you're new to Inkbound or you've been hanging around since day one, this is something you might just enjoy. Now, let’s talks about what's been news since the Early Access release. Mark Cooke, the founder and CEO of Shiny Shoe, is eager to show off the upgrades. We're talking new character classes, fresh worlds to explore, and also loads of tweaks that make everything smoother.

Inkbound - Early Access Gameplay Trailer

The 1.0 version isn't just about new content. It's a total revamp. There's an epic new questline, "Rise of the Unbound", due to be packed with challenges and items to unlock. And the final showdown? Get ready for a battle that’ll have you on the edge of your seat. For those who like gaming on their couch, great news – full controller support is in v1.0. And for the on-the-go crowd, especially Steam Deck users, you can play both online and offline. Perfect for those times away from home. But wait, there's more! Shiny Shoe isn't just thinking about us English speakers. They're bringing Inkbound to the world with full localization in Chinese, Japanese, German, and French. That means more friends to join in on the fun! The storytelling? Next level. New cut scenes, a revamped story, and fast-paced progression that'll keep you hooked. They've even added full English voice over to make the experience more immersive. And, of course, the Inkbound team's been busy under the hood. They've polished up the text, made quality of life upgrades, and balanced things out based on player feedback. It's all about keeping the challenge fresh and fun for everyone. Since its Early Access launch in May 2023, the team at Shiny Shoe has been all ears, tweaking and enhancing based on what players say. Remember the massive Starship of Terrors update?

maybe origins/da2 fans are annoying but imagine being like a stardew valley fan who discovered the game because they love farm sims. and then a survival horror sequel comes out and everyone's mad at you for being disappointed. okay maybe some people have a superiority complex over only liking farm sims and maybe plenty of people were interested in games with resource management more than they were in stardew's original mechanics and vibe but . it would suck right. to like a farm sim and be hyped for the next one only to find out it's too scary for you. well this is the life of a crpg enjoyer realising they have to play an action game if they want to find out what happens next

You ever heard the name Baragaki? It's for nasty kids that prick you if you get too close. That's what we called the bad boys where I'm from. Including him. Baragaki no Toshi.

i guess the reason i'm not an anarchist is that i don't think if you get enough people in your community doing mutual aid that one day white supremacy and colonialism are going to poof out of existence. there's a bunch of intermediate steps between those two things, and a lot of them involve large-scale organization, and when it comes to large-scale organization, at some point you're gonna have to do a thing that looks a lot like taking the reins of state power to influence policy.

that necessarily implies some degree of compromise and coalition building and dirty, dirty politics. but i would prefer that people actually do the work of building a better world instead of sitting around in their mutual aid groups going "if only we had a way to organize on a large scale and somehow exert influence government policy! guess this is an unsolvable problem."
