I tried getting it to work yesterday over my lunch break but wasn't able to... something about missing 'fls' lua module I think. I tried compiling from source as well as one of the AUR packages. :'( I'll try again sometime because this would be a good laptop game.

Quoting: razing32Kinda reminds me of those old Disney cartoons with the mice rescuing people.
Forget what they were called.
You know, that reminds me of a Mickey Mouse game that I really liked as a kid, but I don't think it was The Rescuers, especially if that was published in 2014. I wonder if I can find the game I'm thinking of. It would have been for SNES I'd bet. EDIT: OK, I think it was The Great Circus Mystery Starring Mickey & Minnie. It may have also been The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse.

This Transformice game looks really cool to me. Looks like a game I could play with my kids. It's cute and maybe interesting enough for Daddy.

It's a very nice looking game. Would probably be some great couch co-op.

Planet Nomads has left Early Access and feels like a big missed opportunity

Ah, this is a bummer. I was watching this one to hopefully get it instead of NMS. I still haven't (intentionally) purchased a game that is only playable via Proton, but I might someday. There are a few games I play via Proton that I purchased when I ran Windows and they work really well for the most part.

Starbound 1.4 'Bounty Hunter' update coming soon, now available for testing

Quoting: NotSoQT
Quoting: 14Sweet. A already own it. It's getting close to time to buy some more copies for the kiddies.
I would really wait a few months before doing that.

You see, the game pretty much has been abandoned for some months cuz Wargroove development.

This update wasn't even supposed to be released, since they said a year ago that the whole bounty hunting system seemed to be lackluster [External Link].

Not to mention the performance problems (apparently caused by some bug?), something that the community has been complaining about for some time...

tl;dr
Games is OK, but requires attention ASAP.
Hmm...? We've already poured many hours into the game and are happy with it. I don't need to wait for anything.

At about 3:45, he said to stop watching if you're a person that hates spoilers. Well, I already know that I want this game and am excited, so I guess I'm not finishing this video! :( This is like my most-looked-forward-to game.
