Time To Guess What Feral Interactive Are Working On, New Teaser
21 Nov 2014 at 12:48 pm UTC

Quoting: flesk
Quoting: wolfyrionGenus: Aptenodytes
Species: Aptenodytes forsteri
If you Google "Aptenodytes forsteri Steam", the second hit is this Steam profile [External Link]. That player only has one game in their account, 7 Days to Die [External Link]. Feral is porting 7 Days to Die to Linux, confirmed. ;)
Interesting theory, but we should consider more seriously the clue : on the picture I don't think it's an emperor penguin but a king penguin or Aptenodytes patagonicus.

Double Fine’s decision to drop Spacebase DF-9 is another huge blow for indie games

I am not sure I understand the problems with spacebase df9. They did exactly what they said they would: gather a huge wishlist, implement what they could and then release it (source: https://web.archive.org/web/20131018054131/http://spacebasedf9.com/devplans [External Link]). Cherry on top: they open source the game for others to continue implementing if they want (and open source doesn't mean they are giving it for free, it's only the lua source not the whole thing and opensource is not free software).
Is the game in its current state unplayable as a whole game ? Sure, I suppose it could be better, as any other game could be, but is it a shaming version 1.0 ? this is a true question as I haven't tried it.
Another question is, what were their other options to finish the game ? It was unavoidable that one day they would say "feature freeze! we squish the bugs, add a tutorial and call it 1.0" How is an editor supposed to do that and not hear that he is abandoning the game ?
