Bloody hell... What did everyone have for breakfast? A plate of "Go fuck yourself, with a side of bad attitudes"?

This look like a very interesting project, and something I could have a fair bit of fun with. I'd love to see this get a toe-hold, even if it is a little bit of a niche.

Quoting: SeegrasHm, it wants a newer OpenSceneGraph than Debian provides... I'll guess I'll wait a bit.

Not even Sid or Stretch? I could give building the package source a go for you maybe.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleI see this requested often. What exactly would one do in a multiplayer version of this? How would questing work, for example?

The way most cooperative rpg works: quest and objectives are shared between players.

I have fond memories of MW too, but in 2016, I could not get myself to enjoy OpenMW, however close to "perfection" it is. The interface is just too clunky.

'Distant Land': meh. Awesome when it's available, but not a feature I'm waiting for. We had no option of using it even under Wine until the last year and a half or so. Shadows though, the shadows 0.36.1 and earlier had were very nice, far superior to any of the options in the original engine with mods. But they're a really minor thing. Playing with 0.40.0, I don't particularly miss them.

Quoting: SnowdrakeThis game was so awesome (superior by many aspect to its sequels). Hope openmw will finally implement a proper multiplayer for this game !

I've added it to my wishlist on Steam, looks like a fun game & the music on the trailer sounds pretty cool too. :D

Quoting: GuestComical if you're highly desensitized I guess? Goat Simulator is more comical but without being mean.

They look very similar to me.

Reminds me of the infamous Phantom console.

So basically it's an expensive under-powered PC coupled with a procedural generated 2d platformer game that can change a few objective types and graphics. The "games" also looks cheaper than some of the fully free phone games I can play.

Honestly I think they should have made a cheap console with a easy to use custom engine/framework with an in-depth step by step tutorial to making your own games with their custom tools, as well as a platform for distributing those game/ game assets to others freely. Then I'd be more impressed and interested.

I think taking the programming out of game development is the worst thing you can do. After all 90% of the fun (and pain) is ACTUALLY making the game.

Yeah, this is grade A bullshit.

And it's not even new bullshit at that: Polygon wrote about the very same OTON console back in 2013.

As a programmer, I'm pretty aware about what procedural generation can do. Spitting out good games, created from nothing, well, that's just not something it can do. Give it lots of human-generated prefab pieces, sure, it can recombine them and create variations, but completely new games from whole cloth? No.

(Narrative-focused games, like point & click adventures and RPGs, of which I am a fan, those are even more not possible. There's a reason we still have authors instead of letting an algorithm write stories for us.)

The timing is quite bad as well, what with the current hubbub about No Man's Sky and its procedural generation.

And the comparison graphic, wtf. "Privacy"? "Unlimited Storage"? What.

Also: If he wants to sell a procedural generation thing, why is it a console to begin with? Why not sell the software itself?

(And he's not gaining any sympathy from me with his "ex-marine" schtick, either. Quite the contrary.)

Frankly, I'm torn between this just being someone without a clue or an actual scam. Could be both. Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice, or somesuch.

Quoting: liamdawe

Quoting: JudasIscariotThere are prompts for the keyboard as I watched one of our testers test the game. Perhaps the keyboard prompts are missing in the Linux version, then?

I wouldn't know as I've only played the game with a controller :)

It seems going by the Steam forum at least, that a lot of people are having issues with the Keyboard and getting into games using it.

On the character pick screen, the only thing it gives me is "O" for going back, example: http://imgur.com/a/oevvj

Ahh OK, I thought you were referring to the prompts you get while playing the game. My bad.


Also, Liam, you know that the game has this mechanic where you can press and hold the button for punching to charge it up, right? Well, you can use that while you're beating up a dude while he's down...brains errywhere!

Sure, blame the tax havens.

I'd prefer to have low taxes everywhere but since that's not the case, yes, I blame them.

That's like blaming the bartender for your alcoholism. I doubt anybody forced GOG execs to register their company in a tax haven. But we're going way off topic here.

So you either get an Atom CPU with a low powered Intel GPU, not really a gaming system, or an Nvidia GPU, but with ARM CPU, which wont run any of the titles available on Steam due to their different architecture. Sorry, but this product has disqualified itself for gaming right from the beginning.

Hmmmm. as much as I wish Linux to succeed in gaming, after watching and reading through their material, its very difficult for me to believe in this product. Such a price for the specs.. no possibility to even run games like Tomb Rider 2013, Life is strange or Victor Vran. This console reminds me more of an Ouya... but maybe I am wrong and there is market for such kind of device. If this is so - then wish them all the luck.

I hope this ends up being like Prison Architect's "Escape a Prison" mode: You build a level to be as good as possible at preventing the player from doing the objective (without making it impossible), then challenge them or yourself to do the objective. A level editor where your design not only affects the player, but how many and what kinds of NPCs you get, where they go, etc.

If not, it still sounds like a cool game on its own. I look forward to getting it.

I'd prefer to have low taxes everywhere but since that's not the case, yes, I blame them. That's their business model to attract companies to pay taxes there even if sales and manufacturing are not actually there. They are driving tax money away from the other countries and thanks to shady tax laws they are the countries with the most HQs in Europe. That is not fair to other EU members. If they would not be EU members then they would be free to do whatever they want.
