MAkes me think of Metal Arms. Eager to try this!

I love the game and the critical situations it puts me in, but a real-time limitation sounds like too much for me. I spend more than 10 minutes on some turns so 30 for a whole mission, thanks but no thanks x)

Quoting: Micromegas

Quoting: Armand RaynalI like this game, but while playing it appears obvious that balancing this type of game is extremly hard.

Very frustrating to stumble upon a player that doesn't collect faeria nor place land and just wait for the OP cards to get in his hands.

Oh, come on! How long did you play the game? Do you really think there isn't a viable strategy against that type of deck you were matched up against? I would prefer to say: Playing the game can be hard. ;-)

I didn't play a lot, I'm rank 24 right now, but I really don't believe I could have done anything with my cards against the cards of this guy. Only saw that broken way to play once so it's not a big deal. I would have taken a screenshot but the f12 thing didn't work.

Awesome game, one of the best local multiplayer experience I ever had.

The game was far from being content empty one year ago, from what I've seen in the trailer it seems they added so much things ...:woot:

Quoting: GuestWith some more content and more stuff to do, this game would be great.

How much stuff can there really be to do on a bleedin' raft in the middle of the ocean?

And for how long ? a simple storm and it's the end.

Quoting: slaapliedjeWas he necessarily actually doing much coding? i kind of thought with the Unreal engine you could potentially make an entire game without much code at all and just needed to feed it textures and such.

Granted I could be completely wrong about this, I only played with the new editor for a short time (looked really powerful though).

To make a whole game like what nothern shadow looks like you need relatively quite a lot of code if i'm not mistaken, even with the unreal engine. Although UE provide a tool(blueprint IIRC) that makes programming more visual and easier, it's just sort of a graphic translator for code, so it's still code in the end.

Just providing the art with creative commons would have been cool though.

Quoting: tmtvlHarrumph, could've at least GPL'ed it so the community could try and finish it.

Kinda reminds me of Good Robot, though, where Shamus got quite far into development before teaming up with Pyrodactyl, and ending up with something quite different from the original vision.

I think he uses the unreal engine, so he cant GPL the whole code.

I don't how hard it would be to separate the lines of code that can be GPLed from the engine lines.

Quoting: Armand Raynal*FLOSS plz, not open source.

really? semantics? you realize the "os" in floss is for open source?

The semantical difference is important.

I am sorry, but it is not. Naming wars are not appreciated here as stated in posting rules.

Being neutral avoid those wars, for sure taking sides start them.

FLOSS isn't exactly neutral either you know. FLOSS is "free libre open source software" so essentially GNU definition of free software. Open source is the neutral one as it merely notes that something has source code available for free without going into further philosophical or ideological details. In simpler terms: free software is open source but open source is not necessarily free software. Easy.

Sorry but no.

Open source software doesn't just mean you have the source for free. In fact Free software and OSS are practically almost the same, the differences being ideological.

Saying OSS is absolutly not neutral between OSS and Free software ! Damn that's choosing one between both terms !

And that's why FLOSS is neutral : the 2 terms in one. 2 terms that are very very close in their meaning, the essential difference being the emphasis, which is on Freedom with Free software and technical apsect with OSS.

Check that :
https://opensource.org/osd [External Link]

That's more or less the same that FSF definition but in 10 points rather than 4.

I'm sorry Xicronic but I'm not going to stop talking for your convenience. The conversation isn't a GNU war but if Liam wants to delete it, then so be it. Until then I'm not going to shut it.
