My two cents is that the feedback is a bit harsh.

When you think about it, what is the overlap between those objecting on AI for copyright reasons and those downloading roms or pirated games, seems to me that’s not a strong argument?

The ai models in question have been trained on existing works but nothing precludes using models trained on permissible works, these are already being developed (maybe available), so let’s push for better training ethics instead?

The energy argument is an argument for renewable energy, there is enough to power the world, I can find some links, we should push for energy ethics?

Code quality standards and checks don’t change just because of who or what wrote the code so are folks unhappy with the bugginess of the project?

Otherwise I think there is a reasonable argument to make that the dev needs more coding resource than the community provides. Think people can disagree with that and support the project but just because ai is used in a process doesn’t mean vibe coded slop, the dev clearly understands the codebase so can safeguard code quality.

Do you know if these are workarounds for bugs in games or in the wine implementation of the windows APIs?

Looks interesting. Want to learn more about it!

Got a lot of love for this game, after a very chilled and engaging early access gamepass run through. Got a steam copy of the game to go and see what’s changed.

It will help preserving the game in the same way a snowglobe preserves our winters from 1980.

Looks interesting and the mechanics look fun.

I’m a bit confused about the mix with farming though, it’s like the game wants to be relaxing and have tension at the same time. Just going by the trailer.

Might try a demo if there is going to be one

I like the idea of this. Maybe the developer can still change to a font more optimised for screen UX, it has that 'wireframe style' proof of concept quality to it that contrasts with the polished mechanics.

(I tend to have this issue with Linux distributions as well without having the skills to suggest an alternative sadly -- maybe try Inter)

Interesting game, I hope there is some sense of connecting towns as well without it being a total clone of similar games.

Tried to get into this but wasn’t able to dig the visuals and keyboard shortcuts, but will give it another go.
