At least for me it is a lot more fun in turnbased mode. I tried the game previously, but it just didn't click. Yesterday evening I tried again and it seems much more enjoyable... but maybe that isn't only the turn based mode.

@patola all of the ID software open source engines have be adapted to VR multiple times over. Doom, Quake 123, Doom3 you name it. Half-Life 1 also has a great Quest port using an open source (with some licensing caveats) engine. Return to Castle Wolfenstein will have a Quest version very soon.

As for Veloren: you can switch to a first person camera in game, and the way the models animations etc are set up, it would actually work quite well in VR I think. But the scale of the world might be a bit strange in VR.

Quoting: PatolaI guess that game would feel even better if it had VR. And it would be the first open-source game to do so...

There are quite a few open source games for VR already. But yeah, seems like this would be a nice addition.

Anyone knows how many players can play together in Veloren? Is it MMORPG like?
Edit: Actually yes, it is an MMO in theory, but right now the server options are limited and it seems like the official server is not (yet) meant to host hundreds of players.
Edit2: I asked the developers and the most simultaneous players they had so far was 54. And there seems to be a hard to track down bug right now that makes it difficult to add much more. But in general they are aiming at small MMO level player counts, so a few hundred players per server instance if possible (so in theory much more if servers are linked like in commercial MMOs).

Seems like a great game, but the pricing is a bit off. For 9.99€ I would have bought it for sure already.

Yeah, got an older one (2016?) as well, no complaints. Just be aware that the build quality is Clevo barebones which is really only average.

Might be tempted if they make a 14" with also a dedicated AMD mobile GPU ;)

Super annoying though that the Steamlink software for the RasberryPI is incompatible with other SBCs and stuff like the Pinebook Pro. Come one Valve, just release the source code of it :(

Oh cool. No anti-cheat software issues with that one? Sufficient playerbase online?

Well, nice if it works, but I never missed anything so far :)

For the dual booters it will just be Denuvo (or what ever other anti cheat is currently broken) if EAC is working.

And given the current trend of windows kernel root kits, maybe it is better to avoid these games or run them on a seperate machine only used for gaming.

Hmm, looks very slick.

But from a business perspective I wonder if it makes sense to go to the length of having a nice cinematic trailer produced etc. I noticed this as a recent "trend" in some indie games, but those are then asking for a significantly higher launch price, basically competing with last year's AAA games price wise.

I doubt the slick but $30+ indie game will work out, and it might very well break those indie studios financially.

Really not into farming games, but combined with cool graphics and what appears to be twinstick shooter gameplay? Wishlisted :)
