Good game: Sir Lovelot by pixel.lu.

It's an indie platform game that seems to be along somewhat similar lines to Super Meatboy. I haven't played Meatboy myself, but Sir Lovelot seems to have a similar premise, where you have to guide a small knight through self-contained levels consisting of lots of platforms, buzzsaws, spike pits and enemies. Gameplay requires a lot of precise jumps, sliding down walls etc.

Basically, you play a knight who is trying to find the love of his life (and bed every princess in the land in the process). On each level you have to find certain items (e.g. flower, ring) that the princesses want before they will admit you to their tower of love. There are also lots of secrets to find - getting to the end of each level isn't usually too difficult, but finding everything and 100%ing the game looks like it will offer some challenge.

The controls are very tight and the game feels great to play. The pixel art is also beautiful and the music is very nice. I definitely recommend it to fans of indie platform games!

Maybe this game should be called "Leisure Suit Lovelot"?

Nothing. Why do you assume they are paying me? I just think it's a nice game made by a little-known small indie developer that I'd like to recommend.

When it comes to classic games, GoG only cares about French and German. Will Zoom games come out with all their official translations?
no release today zoom-plateform sniff.

The Zoom Platform staff might be reluctant to reply here, as they have been dinged by the GOG moderators before for 'advertising'. So, a better place to ask would be the ZP Discord channel.

From what I have seen though, Zoom seem to be interested in languages other than French and German. The store page for Megarace 1 says they have versions in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Brazilian-Portuguese. You can see quite clearly what languages are available on the game store pages, and you can filter by language on the game search tab.

Just so you know, you sound more like a Zoom Platform customer service person than a customer of the site. This can affect how people see your boycott as they may wonder if you are generally unhappy with GOG services or are you an employee of Zoom Platform using a situation to benefit your employer.

This is not meant as an attack this is genuine as a number of your previous posts have sounded more like marketing promotions rather than a fan excited for something and as you have seen one person has already questioned your intentions, if more people start doing that it can hurt you in the long wrong with your boycott.

I think it is more likely Time4Tea is similar to my approach in that I am just very passionate about DRM-free gaming.

Until the last year or two, I was extremely passionate about GOG, recommending it to any gamers I knew, etc. I'm sure that on these forums and in real life, someone could have also tried to dismiss me as a "shill" instead of someone genuine. It just so happens that nowadays, Zoom-Platform is arguably the "more pure" source for DRM-free gaming, so excitement might be more around that Platform than this one that just recently introduced a singleplayer game with massive amounts of content locked behind online to the point that even regular GOG defenders were saying (paraphrased) "hold up...this doesn't belong here".

Also, it is NOT "Time4Tea's boycott". I really wish people would stop repeating this as if to imply Time4Tea is some kind of cult leader or something and the rest are mindless flock. Time4Tea happened to help organize a thread but the people boycotting are doing so for various reasons and in various ways, some of which are even contradictory to one another. The boycott thread is simply a collection of individuals expressing frustration at GOG and ceasing/reducing spending on GOG until their own desired changes are made. Time4Tea has been questioned yes, but it appears imo to be done in bad faith, so that doesn't really mean much.

Never said anything about Time4tea being some kind of cult leader and never claimed people supporting the boycott are mindless in any sense, frankly it's this immediate accusation from supporters of the boycott is the main reason why I don't support the boycott, please don't put words in to create a false narrative. I used "your" as a generalization

Well, my apologies if I misconstrued you, but this is not the first time I have seen someone saying "your boycott" to Time4Tea when that is not accurate. You meant people boycotting in general, but that wasn't clear to me.

The boycott is not some clique or club. If you personally are dissatisfied with GOG's recent actions and have ceased/reduced spending as a result, to me, that is boycotting. Please focus on the idea not the people.

I want GOG to be DRM-free, however I have been attacked by Boycott supporters despite this, in the boucott thread and elsewhere, it's like I'm "not DRM-free" enough for them as whenever anyone else posts about keeping things DRM-free they get support, when I do it I get attacked.

So I don't support the boycott due to how they treat other people. It's hard to hold a DRM-Free sign when people in the DRM-free group take shots at you and frankly it does matter what people on a side do or say as that will represent how people see the movement overall.

Well, it sounds like your problem is with individuals rather than with the idea of a boycott. There are numerous people in that thread who literally buy on Scheme or Epic Fail; I think those stores ruin gaming and even contributed to ruining media so needless to say I don't agree with these folks' approach but I wouldn't say I "attack" them for it. There are also some who disagree with my own approach, as I will buy on GOG what I consider a must-have (mostly as a practical reason to guarantee I get the DRM-free offline installer), whereas they will be boycotting entirely, no money spent whatsoever. I have not been "attacked" for people disagreeing with me though. Is there any possibility it could be something in your own approach?

Btw I couldn't disagree with your last sentence more...for people to dismiss a valid idea due to imperfect adherents is a total cop-out.

Anyway, thanks for the discussion but let's try to get this back to Zoom-Platform. Any news of new releases? I guess it is part of being a smaller store but I don't see any "unofficial confirmations" the way we have a thread about in relation to GOG potential releases.

They have attacked me too. It is a small group of users, they are well known, it is easy to know who they are in other forums and social networks.

It's not a no-drm issue (they really don't care). It is a problem that they want to remove gog galaxy and prevent users from having all kinds of options. They want to ban what they don't like even if it doesn't affect them.

However, I agree with them that no drm should not be touched. I also think that with them gog would disappear.
