Exploring Dead Online Games

[@MrSaviorHD]

Tower Unite has taken most of my money in the casino. Why can't I learn? Hope you all enjoyed the video! It was a headache to put everything together in a proper flow, but hopefully you enjoyed it. Let me know of some other Dead Games that are worth checking out. I might make another one of these videos in the future.

[@KeplerXYT]

Light Bearers is a dead game I used to enjoy on release. I have a load of dead games in my steam library that Id play again, if people were in them.

​@@MrSaviorHD I'd like to ask if you ever actually went to see him again but I'm too afraid to hear the answer. Everything about this video is depressing. It's like a small community of survivors clinging back to something that used to be their home. Everyone else left, but for some [most likely also very depressing] reason these people didn't. And now they wonder among ruins, living the past. Their existential loneliness is only interrupted by smug youtubers aiming to make a field report on lunatics living in exile. These men always say they will be back but everyone knows they not gonna. It's ok tho. It'll take a great many lone bumper car rides till memory of those two hours of happiness will finally fade away too. In the end it's always only you, your metal detector and an inaudible dolphin on the table.

[@JoeLichman]

As somebody who has played Tower Unite A LOT over the years it's not that it's dead it's just that the community is small and people are constantly coming and going. You see a lot of the same people, and then some regulars (like myself) disappear for a few months and then come back. Always updating, always growing, always a favorite. Glad you checked it out, hope you come back again sometime!

[@benten825]

Thats so true, I sometimes go months without playing and then pick it up like nothing happened. Its always filled with nice people

[@gregariousegg]

I'm pretty sure the last nail in the coffin of Boundary was the devs and the publisher split and there was legal issues and just a giant mess in general

[@MrSaviorHD]

Ya that would do it.

[@mr.package4702]

The thing I find the saddest about boundary is the enormous efforts thrown into its development just for it being remembered as a dead game. When I played it, I noticed so many small details that just screamed that the game was developed with deep passion. The detail that I find the most mind boggling is the fact that empty mags start to abruptly flip its orientation when the player reloads its weapon. Since the game sets in space, there’s an actual existing phenomenon called the “Dzanibekov” effect, the essence of which is that an object with a shifted center of mass when spinning in microgravity starts to flip repeatedly from one side to another as it tries to find a more stable way to spin. The fact that developers actually added this small but actually a difficult in computer modeling detail, probably tells a lot about the amount of work and love putted into this game

[@imtheonewhoknocks4230]

Ooh I've got some: - Absolver - Aragami 2 - Sky knights - Frozen synapse - Guns of icarus - Red orchestra 2 - Angels fall first

[@MrSaviorHD]

[@sephonium]

Isn’t Aragami just a single player game with coop? I don’t think it counts as dead in that case.

[@sonwig5186]

I don't get why people leave a bad review on a game for being dead. That just discourages more people from joining

[@jvy012896]

That's because people want to feel like their opinion matters. Same concept with why people leave negative comments just for the "lolz"

[@jackjack3358]

Their review won't bring hundreds of players into the game and make them online at the same time. But it can save a few poor souls to pour money into a dead game

Nowadays, I just play with the same group of friends and don't really interact with others besides being called various slurs and then attempting to make them ragequit.

Also about boundary, in 2008 FutureMark, maker of benchmark tools released a free to play fps in space where there was only one weapon, but with many functionality so it could work as a sniper, shotgun, assault riffle, so everyone was on par with each other. You were in zero-g with a pair of electromagnetic boots that you could enable to stick to a surface. They later released a paid version on steam with multiple guns but it made it less special. It was called Shattered Horizon

Tower Unite is not dead, it never really lived, so to say. It has some influx of new players, and only a few of those people stick with the game. If you play long enough, you will start recognize people and it has a feeling of a tight community. For many like myself the main grip is the player housing the game has. It has the best in-game map editor I've ever seen. You should check out some of the Player Condos that's on the Workshop to really see what's possible with it.

I regularly play a game that has been "dead" since before I started playing it in 2007. "Free Allegiance" was originally by Microsoft, released in 2000 and is now open source and free on Steam. We barely scrape together 20-25 players for games on Sunday, but we still play. And people are still nerfing and buffing faction balance and arguing over the changes. Come join us, just be aware there is no one online during the week.

[@souljaboy1416]

Tower Unite was made by a group that made the last great Garry's Mod platform called Gmod Tower. After Gmod Tower shut down, the only thing that filled their void were pay to play and pay to win predatory servers.

[@kennuimuffins2426]

I would like to see you try a not-dead dead game - Heroes of Newerth. It was shut down 2 years ago but with this one weird trick, it was kept alive by the community. They rebuilt the infrastructure to allow the game to continue with servers, accounts, stats etc. All starting from scratch of course. It's impressive. So it was killed by it's owners, but it has around 5-6k players (depending on time of day). I am very biased because i've played it since 2009, but it is the best feeling moba no contest.

[@novarity6561]

The issue with Tower Unite is that they have small individual servers instead of a massive one. It needs to have a ton of players in one server because of how the map is designed. So many places and activities and rooms to explore but there's no one there. West coast servers are dead most of the time and the massive world of things to do is so empty without a massive server player count.

[@DylboFPS]

RIP Boundary. Loved that game

[@fozzylozzy1131]

"Its hard to hear over the artillery, gunfire and screaming." Welcome to WW1 buddy

[@dusk3671]

Tower Unite is a game where there is essentially no competitive pressure between players (although rankings exist for the seven side games within GAMES). Unlike the vast majority of online games that encourage you to do whatever it takes to outperform other players in the game, TU gives players a completely relaxed playground. I don't think TU is considered a dead game, most people just don't know it yet.

[@Smjn_]

I used to play NMRIH with an old friend when I was younger, it's such a good game!

[@spaceman53]

im late but let me clarify for tower unite, it was a Gmod mod way back then with about four regions with at max 8 servers each, each server had a max capacity of like 128, at most two servers would be full with a couple reaching 60 or so, so when it switched most played moved too, it still holds most of the community so when people say "dead" i hesitate to answer as its just a small community that migrated and slowly grew older. (i still think the devs should reach out to creators to invite them back) i also have not played in a while but occasionally find myself coming back

[@grgffgg9747]

I have boundary and during the VERY short time it had players it was extremely fun and I still have hope that the game might get revived

[@nicktopo8380]

boundary was legit my favorite concept of the game. that first play test i was in love, but second play test i didnt like the changes they made

[@Someone-yd3yt]

I know it would be a lot of work for a game that is by definition not making much money anymore, but for “dead games” that are online only, or require a server to play them, if the developers converted them to a version that could be stored for posterity, and purchased and played offline by people who still wanted to (I.e. for a game like Isonzo, they could program npc team mates and enemies for a single player experience), even if it’s not quite as good. Again I understand this would be a lot of work, and probably won’t happen, but it’s sad to see games be lost, or become not worth playing due to lack of other players.

[@novAviator01]

I’m Sure I’d like Isonzo since I thought Verdun was goated didn’t know they made more games and tower unite looks really fun

[@selectionn]

no more room in hell went so hard back in the day. Also the only reason it has so many players right now is because a sequel got announced, at SGF no less, which is massive publicity. its completely dead otherwise. Day of Infamy was great too. That game, like NMRIH, originates and can be traced back to a source mod.

[@baitboy3191]

Day of Infamy was great, it was so easy and fast. Easy to learn the game and learn the maps, I had some awesome sniping spots in that game. The community was great, I think the game mainly died off when there were larger WWII games that launched like Hell Let Loose (which one of the better Military sim games, cause you can get into the action a lot faster compared to games like Squad).
