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?

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.

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

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.

Just want to say I like Trawl. The typewriter mechanic brings out the poetic muse in me, in much the same way The Things We Lost In the Flood [External Link] does.

Also I found three items before my radio inexplicably exploded.

So I'm curious, as someone who's not really familiar with the OpenMW project. Is the goal here to make an engine that recreates the original Morrowind, or one that's actually an improvement on it in a kind of "Morrowind, but better" sense?

Okay, this is very strange. I installed libcrypto.so.1.0.0 a few days back in order to get several games in the bundle to work. Obviously it's there because first of all those games wouldn't work without it, and second, I'm literally looking at it in my file browser right now.

However, The Aquatic Adventures Of the Last Human won't work because it claims the library *doesn't* exist. Which is clearly incorrect. And yes, it's the 32-bit version.

If you're interested in categorizing the items in the bundle, I ran across this yesterday and it turned out to be tremendously useful. I simply had that open in a browser window and used the search on the Itch client to find and add everything I'm intereested in trying out to a collection, so I can install them at my leisure.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoI am really tired of these "retro" look games.
In those days, the games looked pixelated because of the technical limitations of that era (like low res images and 256 colours) and not because the developers wanted to do that...

I'm very sure the devs of those days wanted to give the highest graphic quality they could achieve with the few technical resources they had.

Anyway, I have an old CRT monitor just in case I want to play real retro games like Hexen or Heretic.

There are good ways to approach pixel art, which have good reasons behind them. But this isn't one of those situations.

According to videos they've put out, the pixel look is just a filter that you can turn off. It's solely there for the nostalgia factor, not for, say, abstraction or a consistent style the way it is in a lot of games. Honestly, to me it just makes everything look needlessly blurry.

Every time you post about this game I misread it as ProTeus, and get my hopes up for a new ethereal randomized music/exploration experience.

Not that this isn't good too, of course.
