Meet Your Maker is SnapMap’s Spiritual Successor SnapMap was one of the most overlooked features in DOOM (2016).

A new competitor could carry on SnapMap’s legacy. Meet Your Maker, an asynchronous builder/raider multiplayer FPS, was announced today at Behaviour Beyond. It’s due for release on…

The second time, I was able to build a watchtower. The person manning the watchtower could defend wildlife, but only two of the three raiders were killed. One survivor took my entire food supply.

August 2, 2022August 2, 2022 Michael Gibson

Do you remember the PS5 Accolades feature? We don’t either – and Sony is removing it anyway. A good trophy is the best reward for completionists. However, it’s nice to be able to get a prize for your online sportsmanship. With so many gamers complaining of toxicities in everything from Apex Legends to League of Legends, it is clear that having another way to persuade people to change their competitive practices might be a good idea. Not, in the case of PS5’s Accolades feature. It was quickly forgotten and is…
