Dunno about the game, but I really like Melos Han-Tani's music, and the writing on All Our Asias was quite good.

All I want is for them to rework the terraforming so you're not left grinding reseeding rockets over and over again, as if plants wouldn't spread on their own given O2, temp and water at the right levels.

Quoting: dpanterIf you're referring to the Pink Floyd album, "obscure" ain't the word you're looking for. It's one of the most well known and most highly regarded albums of all times. :wub:

Game looks cool as well, great trailer!

Now if they wanted to be cryptic, they'd say "It looks good, but not as good as several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a Pict."

First bit of Pink Floyd I ever heard.

Hard to listen to, but arguably the best title ever written.

I've been following the dev on Mastodon for ages now, it's great to see they've got a new demo out.

My question for those who have and play the game is, how is it as a single-player experience?

A lot of what I see from people is multiplayer, but I'm not all that interested in getting a group together, fitting their schedule, not being able to wander off and read something at my leisure, etc. So is there enough to keep someone like me engaged with the world?

Going to add a caveat that I do expect the next year or two to bring a LOT more content to the game, so it's obviously going to improve. But that said, in your experience so far what do you think its appeal is as a solo adventure? Particularly for someone who's just fine playing Minetest alone and loves stuff like Subnautica which is exploration and base building heavy.

Quoting: NumericSide Note: MineClone 2 [External Link], the popular Minetest game known for its efforts to replicate the Minecraft 1.12 experience, has undergone some major changes itself. The last few releases have added in major features such as the experience system and enchantments. The current version (0.70.0) was the last release under the talented project maintainer/developer Wuzzy. The torch has been passed to two active contributors, Fleckenstein and kay27, who are well underway in tiding up the 0.71.0 release. Based on the git page, it seems to have a lot of nice improvements https://git.minetest.land/MineClone2/MineClone2/issues/997#issuecomment-13272 [External Link]

Thanks Wuzzy for all of your years of hard work!

I tried that recently, and it's pretty good. I like the double chest mechanic a lot. Although it could stand with a lot more interior design recipes. Not much motivation to build a cool house if it's just standing there with empty rooms.

Still, looking forward to the 5.4.0 release, even though it's not on the Ubuntu-MATE repository yet. I imagine it'll show up in the next few days sometime.

Man, that turret voice from Portal is really making the rounds lately.

I like the humour in the trailer, and it's rare for me to like humour in adventure games. Almost every time I've encountered it as the narrative's dominant element it comes off as trying too hard. The Whispered World, Edna & Harvey and so forth, they tend to leave me cold.

But this. This, I like.

Amusingly, I just took a second look and I'm pretty sure that's the same guy at 1:27 in the much older video, except doing something interesting.

Looking at Standard Fantasy Synopsis #14 there, I suspect this is gonna be one of those series that tries to take a "realistic and grounded" approach, and will have a lot more to do with the politics of the factions, delivered via long exposition scenes. There's my prediction.

Wow.

All the characters they could have picked, there's what, 120 of them? Almost all with amazing, visually impressive designs and costumes, flashy abilities and compelling backstories, and this is what they picked? A generic looking human warrior whose outfit is mainly brown?

Gotta say, not impressed at all from this teaser. It's got less to draw me in than any of the trailers for the game itself that Valve has made. Seriously, compare it to this from nine years ago.

I know which one makes me want to know more about the world and the people in it.
