Narrative exploration RPG 'Vagrus - The Riven Realms' enters Early Access
22 Jul 2020 at 11:31 pm UTC

Quoting: denyasis"...Vagrus, an award-winning turn-based post-apocalyptic fantasy RPG."

Award winning? It's not even out yet?!?
Seems the awards are for the previously released demo/prologue.

General Horse and the Package of Doom might be the dumbest FMV I've ever played

This absolutely looks like my thing. I love that neo-B-movie aesthetic.

Tomb of the Eaters is the 'biggest update ever' for Caves of Qud
20 Jul 2020 at 12:40 pm UTC

I still maintain that the biggest thing that plays against Caves of Qud is hanging on to permadeath as default from its roguelike roots. For an expansive game with so much to cover, it feels like an artifact of older versions that just doesn't add much to the experience outside the daily and weekly challenges.

Yes, you can turn permadeath off and saving on, but those options are buried deep in the options, and are clearly an afterthought. A pity, since I think it presents a barrier to new players.

The Battle of Polytopia: Moonrise releasing August 4 for Linux PC
15 Jul 2020 at 12:44 pm UTC

So roughly the same price as buying all 12 basic tribes on the mobile version. I can live with that.

Pity they haven't done anything with the tech tree. It gets kind of stale after a few games, particularly since every tribe uses the same progression.

Unique puzzle-adventure 'OneShot' now has a Linux build on itch
8 Jul 2020 at 6:48 pm UTC

It won't install from the client for me (on up to date Ubuntu-MATE). I assume it's the same appimage issue.

That's more than a few days! Good work on creating a great resource for the community.

Papercraft styled tactical RPG 'Wildermyth' adds Legacy campaigns
30 Jun 2020 at 12:39 pm UTC

So I get to put characters in a Legacy pool and recruit them for Legacy campaigns. That's all well and good, but I still don't know what a Legacy campaign even is, and how it's different from a regular campaign. Could you illuminate?

Bounty Battle the 'ultimate indie fighting game' releasing July 23
30 Jun 2020 at 12:37 pm UTC

Hoary old Guacamelee is in there, no surprise. They seem to get in on every indie crossover. Which makes the absence of Shovel Knight, who was appearing everywhere for a while, all the more surprising.

Celestial Command adds 3D space physics and a new battle mode

The more you zoom in, the more the cruisers look like the deck of a container ship.

Colony building sim 'Maia' has a huge free update with more world simulation
27 Jun 2020 at 12:28 pm UTC

Maia was on the second "Early Access" (not even sure it was called that at the time) title I ever backed, and I was quite excited about its development. But as time went on and problems with the early build persisted right up to release (like colonists not prioritizing) I grew disenchanted with the whole thing so much that I didn't even play it when it released.

Maybe this will bring me back to give it another try.
