Quoting: 14I have Rise to Ruins on itch. I've only been able to get it to start up by installing it in a VM. The developer says the game can't run in jre versions shipped with Arch. I'm hoping that will change sometime. Since I have a pile of other games, I don't want to change my system jre to make just one work. Here's to hope. ^_^

Forgot to respond to this back when you made the comment, but it seems to run fine for me with jre8-openjdk. There is also jre8 in the AUR, which is what the devs ship with the Steam version (although they ship 1.8.0_202, and the AUR package currently packages 1.8.0_201).

Samsai did a playthrough on his Friday livestream and I had to stop watching because it was so good and I didn't want to spoil it for myself. Still need to pick it up, but I keep forgetting to add it to my wishlist. :dizzy:

EDIT: remedied.

I'm sure some people will enjoy this, but I can't see the point of shoehorning MP functionality into a classic SP game. Then again, I don't see the point of TES Online/Fallout 76 either. :|

Quoting: liamdaweThis is a very one-sided argument right now and we really have no idea what is actually going on, we have the words of one person.

Frankly, I have to question why you published this article given those very same arguments.

Did you try reaching out to Philip for comment? :whistle:

What makes you think he'd respond even if Liam had? He clearly doesn't check his email. :P

This has me Blinded by Fear. :o

EDIT: I've actually read the article and watched the video now. Looks good! Love the art style, very reminiscent of the original Colonisation for me (rather than Civ, which was tile based)

Currently $7 is about £5.40.

The pound isn't worth as much as it used to be. :P

I think it's borked the steam servers, I have a load of pending downloads, but nothing's actually downloading because "content servers unreachable". :(

I'm getting flashbacks to the Discworld games. Definitely one to keep an eye out for.

Z-levels (aka layers) is something I consider fundamental to these sorts of games, so it's good to see this one has it from the off. It also has a much more reasonable price vs. Rimworld, so I might check it out. :)
