Quoting: AkienFYI, this is now fixed in the Steam demo.

Also fixed another Godot issue along the way which should benefit users of AMD discrete GPUs :)

Thanks!

I went to check out the game the other evening intending just to fire it up and play for 15 minutes or so and report back, and ended up playing until after midnight. :grin: It's definitely quite compelling, I'll be keeping an eye for its release.

That looks pretty neat. Funnily enough I was just thinking the other day, "I wonder how long until someone makes one of those 'it's an old game but with a twist*' games using Minesweeper." (This is not intended to be disparaging at all, I really do think it's a cool twist on a familiar formula.)

*It's Pong, but you're the ball trying to escape! It's Snake, but a rogue-like! It's Tetris, but an RPG!

I quite enjoyed the demo when I played it last year, and am eagerly awaiting the full release! :woot:

Seattle [External Link], 37.49; Glasgow [External Link], 49.01.

I see your two mildly damp cities, and raise you Hilo [External Link], Hawaii: 126.72 inches (3,220 mm) average annual rainfall. :grin: (Though it does get more sunshine than Glasgow at 1656 hours per year, and it's all lovely warm rain instead of that nasty cold stuff, so I reckon you have us beat in the misery department.)

Quoting: Guest-- edit
Jokes aside, actually without pollinators and wind or animals to distribute seeds, plants would not spread on their own regardless of other favourable conditions.

Once you've increased the atmosphere to Earth-like pressures, there's gonna be wind. :wink: Though it's a good point about animal-based seed spreading…clearly the solution is to allow us to introduce animals to start spreading plants about the planet faster! :grin:

But seriously, I'm really glad to hear this. I picked the game up with all DLC when Green Planet was released, and it felt like a really good solid game with a lot of potential…which then never got additional content. Which, fine, nothing wrong with making a good game and releasing it as-is, but I'm so happy to hear there'll be new stuff coming.

I think this is the expansion I'm most excited about yet. :woot: I found the introduction of the Galactic Community really breathed new life into the game by giving you new story options that didn't require warfare*, and Nemesis seems to be building on those strengths with espionage and, of course, the ability to either become the crisis or to valiantly hold it off only to unite the galaxy into a galactic empire. I'm still working my way through all the origins introduced with Federations; so many interesting possibilities for my next game! :grin:

*While I enjoy a good war—or even a game as a fanatic purifier—as much as the next player, it's so much fun throwing my diplomatic weight and soft power around to try to enact resolutions beneficial to me while denying those of my rivals. :whistle:

Quoting: PhiladelphusIs this *by* the studio that made Goat Simulator, or was that just a comparison? I couldn't tell.
Fake edit: I looked it up on Steam, and it's a different studio, MAD Sprouts.

I like the premise, I think you could get a lot of story mileage (and a bunch of games) out of the tension between animals and humans moving into their territory, as seen from the animal perspective.

The studio that made Goat Simulator are working on Satisfactory now, which looks to be a great game, but unfortunately no Linux version.

Oh right, yeah. Forgot about that. :whistle: And I even got Satisfactory (playing with Proton) when it released on Steam middle of last year, too…

Quoting: DeathByDenimHmm, looks interesting, but the demo doesn't run on Ubuntu 20.04.
 
./RogueStateRevolution.x86_64: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./RogueStateRevolution.x86_64)
I think Ubuntu 20.04 is only on 2.31.

Yeah, I'm getting the same error (unsurprisingly) on Debian 10. I couldn't even get it running with Proton.

Quoting: GoboFrom the first first search result [External Link] for "usb logo" on Google:

You must use the logos exactly as they are shown in the USB-IF digital artwork files; you may not imitate the USB Logo(s), the SuperSpeed USB Logo(s), the SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps Logo(s), the USB Type-CTM Charging Trident Logo(s), the Certified USB Charger Logo(s), or the Certified USB Fast Charger Logo(s) in any of your materials.

You may not combine the USB Logo(s), the SuperSpeed USB Logo(s), the SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps Logo( s), the USB Type-CTM Charging Trident Logo(s),the Certified USB Charger Logo(s), or the Certified USB Fast Charger Logo(s) with any other feature, including other marks, words, graphics, photos, slogans, numbers, design features, or symbols.

Now, the standard I Am Not A Lawyer disclaimer applies, but the link, which leads to a document called "USB Logo Usage Guidelines", looks like a guideline for companies who want to use the USB logo correctly, i.e., companies making USB equipment who want to correctly put the USB logo on it. The "you may not imitate the USB Logo(s)" bit, in context, seems to me to be saying "You must exactly reproduce the logos as shown here if you want to use them at all, without deviating from them in any way", rather a blanket pronouncement that the the USB logo cannot be imitated by someone explicitly not claiming to to USB-affiliated in any way.

But again, IANAL, and don't take this as legal advice! It may very well be protected in some other fashion that I'm not aware of.

On another note, what engine is the game in? Or is it something home-made?

[off topic]Is it even possible to talk about modern transport vehicules and infrastructure in latin ? :dizzy:
[/off topic]

Whyever not? Surely it is the same for any other language as new words are created? You could say 'secum communicandi' instead of Internet, but most other languages just used the word, "Internet," anyway. Perhaps, in the realms of openTTD 'celeriter iter sinum currus' might be used to describe a mass-transit highway, if you didn't just want to keep 'motorway' or 'highway'

Well I say, the English language has stolen enough words from Latin over the centuries, we can certainly afford to donate a few back. Have "Internetus" free on us, Latin!
