I feel like this is important to mention, given that the post might prompt people to spend money on Factiorio:

Factorio's got some things about it that might make some people reconsider funding it. Just a PSA.

Quoting: benstor214WHAT IS IT WITH THESE CAPS LOCK GAME TITLES?
Are they doing it to stand out of lists?

No. It's a Japanese thing.
The Japanese language has two different phonetic character sets that can acceptably be switched between for solely aesthetic purposes, if one wishes - and this is just treating English caps/lower-case in the same way. From the perspective of Japanese people, sometimes all upper case or all lower case just gives more of the vibe they're going for, so they name things accordingly. Upper-case letters are the aesthetic Katakana to lower-case's Hiragana.

for a game of this type, the gameplay is everything - and just from the video i can see they don't quite have it. doesn't handle right, combat is too front and center.

if someone wants a truly good Wipeout-style racer that runs on linux already, check out BallisticNG, a completely faithful PSX Wipeout love letter. Grab the Enai Siaion track pack off the Steam workshop to get tens of professional-quality new tracks for it for free, including some very faithful recreations of Wipeout courses - and the Wipeout ships are on the workshop as well, if that's your thing.

BallisticNG has the years of polish and feedback from a wipeout-diehard community needed to make a racer of this type work, a fair pricetag, tons and tons of content, and is imo quite beautiful.

I've never found another modern anti-grav racer that even comes close to having "it"
