Wow, can't wait to see what people do with this already amazing game!

Or you can interpret this another way. The Steam Deck is hugely popular in Canada and they can't process orders fast enough.

Survival game Vintage Story adds 200+ new blocks, lightning, water physics update

Quoting: scaineIf Tyron doesn't have immediate cashflow issues, and actually cares about their reputation as a game developer, then I completely agree with their caution. Despite the fact that I'd really like to play this, but as I say, without Steam multiplayer, I can't see me buying this.

How does Steam handle community servers? I have yet to play a game on Steam where they are a thing. There's no on demand server instances for VS... I guess you could choose to share your single player instances with your friends on Steam and allow them to join through there, but that would be about all the benefits Steam would give you. In the end it would still be like Valheim where you have to tell your friends on which community run server you are playing, giving them the IP/domain like we used to do years ago, and completely bypassing the Steam multiplayer thing.

Quoting: TcheyDid i say earlier i think Vintage Story is the best of its kind ?

Yeah, i think i said ten times maybe...

I will add to the choir. The very best in its genre. Its also a coherent game, its not a ton of crap thrown together like that other, well known, blocks game. Everything is designed to work together. The art style is great and consistent. The game is also ultra realistic, but not to the point of making gameplay tedious. You like survival and/or crafting games? You like to build stuff? You like amazing pixel art? Maybe you are more the dev type and you like an easy to mod game? This game is for you.

A genre is born: Horde games

Don't forget long time classics like Phobia 3 (native Linux) and Kill Monty (this one is a Mac thing).

Exceptionally good game. I usually hate racing games, but this one is pure gold.

Modern Diablo game engine devilutionX sees new release, how to get it on Steam Deck
30 July 2022 at 11:55 pm UTC

Quoting: ShabbyXI remember I sucked hard at Diablo. I could never finish it. Diablo 2, I also sucked but at least I could get through to the end.

Then I played Diablo 3, which was rather easy, and so boring (500 yellow items to be identified one by one, each taking 4 seconds? What were they thinking?) So I decided to go back and play Diablo. Man, they had it *right*! Blue drops were so rare, it was so exciting to see one. You couldn't wait to get it identified. Same with Yellow items on Diablo 2. Diablo 3 just threw garbage after garbage legendary items at you. No excitement at all for getting them.

Anyway, rant over. I hope divelutionX doesn't force you to click the mouse for every attack :)

Yes, there is an option for click and hold.

Diablo 1 is a wholly different beast, the swarms of monsters are actually way stronger than you, so you have to use every terrain advantage you can get, abuse doors, corners, lava lakes, etc. All characters can learn to cast teleport, use that often. The sorcerer and the rogue should do a lot of teleporting. The warrior with a good armor can usually take more punishment, and since he's a really slow caster, chances are he's not going to be able to successfully cast teleport while surrounded anyway, but you should still abuse the hell out of doors and choke points with him.
