The Signal From Tolva has a free expansion with a new Polar Region to explore

If anything, this game does not need more land. It was boring enough that I couldn't force myself to finish. Signal from Tolva feels less like a game and more like a game engine sample project. Sorry to be so negative.

Another Steam Machine/OS push probably won't be made again until Microsoft does something truly appalling. It's the ace for Valve to keep hidden in their sleeve and a second push would this time have the backing of a 4000+ library and matured ecosystem.

Quoting: IronJaegersomeone please make a MOBA with this engine to run on light configs. we need a lol/dota2 rival for low end devices in this mining craze where every piece of hardware is getting a pricetag bump , not only the GPUs
Start a git project. Even if you may not know how to build a game, getting the ball rolling could maybe attract those who do. Or some game design students or something. But then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about really.

Wow! HD2000 series? That's pretty old graphic card. It was on my wishlist along side GeForce 8 when I was teenager. Never got it. :(

Quoting: GustyGhostStrategic closedness. Unreal Engine are doing the same, I believe.

Maybe Godot will eat their lunch if they're not careful.
Do you think Godot is better or on par with Unity right now?
I have at most done only hobbyist size projects in either and it's been a while since I'd tried Unity so for whatever it's worth, if you're just cooking up simple 3D projects using one of the available scripting languages Unity and Godot are functionally identical (aside from that Godot groups everything as "nodes").
