There was this survival game not long ago, it was really early in dev, you moved a well-built cartoony guy and hit trees with a button, they fell and you got the wood so you could build stuff like a home etc. It was top down, sorta like a more animated Unreal World, but so far there was only trees everywhere.

Very late reply, but I found what we were looking for: Townseed. Don't worry I wasn't searching the whole time. Going by his Twitter it's still in development and has gone 3D.

A very early 2000s game, with rather bright and colorful graphics.

You were controlling a nation (state?) on Earth, and your goals were:

1. Research all kinds of nukes.
2. Launch space stations as research/defense platforms.
3. Launch nukes to wipe out the enemy.

You could leave launches and defense to AI, but at any given time you could hop behind space stations' weapons and blast the incoming missiles to bit.

I only played the game's demo, which ended after you researched 2nd type of missile and new satellite defenses.

Trying to remember something that was a predominantly menu-driven text-based game, available on PC, where you're basically the officers of a colony ship trying to find somewhere to settle down. The assortment of officers you pick at the start influences the availability and success rate of the various events you'll encounter on planets as you... track down the origins of a beacon or something? I remember two points of interest you can reach along the way were a spaceship where the crew decided to basically merge themselves with the shipboard AI, achieving a hivemind pseudo-immortality, and a futuristic utopian planet. Both also functioned as bad-end traps if you failed the events, as your crew could decide to join them, as opposed to continuing on. It was predominantly pixel-art style and I want to say it came out in the last five years or so. I want to say there were also ship upgrade stats involved too.

(Not Seedship, though it was probably an inspiration This has more narrative. Not Out There.)

It is much older then 5 years (1994) so it is likely not the what you are looking for, but that sounds alot like Iron seed. The source code was released in late 2013 though, but not sure if anything came of that.

Although the full name is MAD: Global Thermonuclear Warfare, it's exactly what I was thinking about, thanks!

Haha! That one's definitely it. I remember the smooth chopping animation. Thanks!

I don't know the exact title, but it was a Spiderman game from the early 00s, where there was a level in which Spiderman travels across floating New York in space, collecting some shit, then fighting Mysterio who's in turn was shielded atop a tower of his. It was available on PC, so it's not Spiderman 2... unless it's actually Spiderman 2 PC port, which is kinda infamous for being different and inferior compared to PS2 game.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

Looks like it is the PC version of Spider-man 2.

I remember seeing a game that looked similar to the FPS space hulk games. It was first person, on a dark space station. It was coop with friendly fire. I believe it had a semi pixelated look to it. It seemed very intense from the videos I watched of it. Sorry I can't give more info

Would it be a freeware game called Derelict? A 10-year-old forum post about it. I don't recall if it had friendly fire, though.

so there was this 2.5 twin stick shooter which was part of an indie competition themed around time travel or something of the sort, where every time you died the level restarted and you got to play together with the recording of all your previous attempts.


anyone remembers the name?

It's not twin stick but the only thing coming to mind is Super Time Force.
