Among the best games ever made. I really hope there will be a proper sequel (not that Zelda crossover that exists for the Nintendo Switch).

Finally a release... Everyone left was/is playing the autobuilds for years already, but new players always only saw the half a decade old last release and never bothered trying it.

Quoting: Zlopez
Quoting: ShadMessado people really still use FAT32 .....
Definitely, it's the best choice for external HDD that is being used by both Linux and Windows machines.
There is exFat these days. Works the same but doesn't have the limitations of Fat32.

That is surprisingly fun for the price. Also nice to see Godot being used (AFAIK), but it would be cool if developers would release the source code to their games for future maintainability.

Quoting: edoThe game itself is awesome (and by game I mean the engine), have you never tried the editor mode? You can do a lot of things there way easier than on a normal engine
As a sandbox and mod platform it seems quite cool indeed, but the official story campaign is very lackluster.

Nice to see that their codebase and build process for Linux is not some obscure afterthought and should be relatively easy to maintain in the future.

The game itself is sadly a bit meh and while there is some experimental multiplayer support, it seems like the overall engine design doesn't really lend itself to expanding that further.

Would be nice though if someone took that awesome procedural animation system and made a library for Godot out of it or integrate it with Blender or so.

I still think it would be cool to make a smart dock with basically a build in updated Steam Link.

Would be really cool if there was a libre content pack as well.

Selaco is an FPS inspired by F.E.A.R and a demo is coming soon

Does anyone know if there will be coop multiplayer? Or Deathmatch?

Better late then never. Hopefully this will result in some renewed interest in the Postmarket OS port for my x86 Zenfone2 :)
