Quoting: scaineI played Act 1 all the way through in 2013 and was vagely surprised, at the end, to discover that it was a episodic release. Sadly, I never went back to it. I suppose episodic releases only really work if you can keep up momentum and stick to a schedule. There's no point in me buying Act 2 onwards now - I've long forgotten what Act I was about!

As crappy as the devs are (long, unexplained delays and extremely little contact with players), they have made something worth playing. Act 2 in particular is brilliant, so I'd recommend replaying Act 1 and then moving forward with it. That's what I'll be doing.

Just...don't trust anything the devs do in the future, that's all.

This is exactly my jam. Been looking forward to it for quite a while now, glad to see I can wishlist it at least.

Quoting: NezchanAs to spouses, I've only married three. Leah is great all around, and probably my favourite so far. Maru is a surprisingly good mother, which is something she doesn't really hint at beforehand. Penny is...nice? She's a little too "perfect 50s housewife" for my taste really, but to a degree it makes sense for someone with her background to really want that kind of stability.

I start being curious about this game... :S:
This does sound... complex?

It's actually not all that complex really. Sure, there are ways to min-max things but that's not the point of the game. Farming is straightforward, crafting isn't complex and materials are generally pretty easy to get, and the friendship/romance system is maybe a little *too* simple (it's basically just giving people gifts a couple of times a week, and keeping tracks of what they like). Overall it's very chill, but there are loads of different things you can do if you feel like it.

According to Steam I've got just shy of 500 hours on it, although that does include some degree of idling in the background while I did something else. So realistically, it's probably in the 400 - 450 range.

Quoting: kusochiTo my knowledge this is what basically all tetrapods look like when they're fetuses, so there's no telling what it will look like mature.

Looking it up since it's been ages since I studied that stuff, it's not too different from a 3-week old human fetus, but maybe a little less lumpy. Could be another animal entirely, but my guess is probably a mammal.

I bought Littlewood after Xmas and played a bunch of it. It's good, but nowhere near a complete game yet. There's a lot of content that's just placeholders promising more to come, and a lot of places that could use some polish. Most of the underlying systems are good, if a little grindy at times, and I like how the day passes not by time but by energy expended.

I figure it'll really be something special by summer or so.

Quoting: Laboratoryo_ni_NeilFeral Interactive needs to partner with other publishers such as BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment and CAPCOM.

Resident Evil 3 Remake and Dragon Ball FighterZ on Linux would be awesome.

How do you persuade these companies to even consider Linux? Square Enix shocked me when they teamed up with Feral Interactive in the first place giving us Life Is Strange and the Tomb Raider serials. No doubt it takes months of meetings, possibly begging in there somewhere too??

idk about SquEnix, but the Life Is Strange devs were showing interest from the first episode, save that the middleware they chose made it difficult. Even then, they were saying future projects would be done with Linux in mind.

Quoting: razing32Does the counter go down when you are not playing ?

"...you don't even need to play it to get to the ending" seems to imply that it does, and you can just play once then come back a little over a year later and you'll have won.

1. Subnautica (both games)
2. Any of the more recent Final Fantasy games
3. Um...Skyrim, I guess.

It looks pretty good, although some things definitely need tweaking. Whoever thought that white text on a mottled light blue background was a good idea needs to give their head a shake.
