Doctors can heal themselves by smoking herbs. No . Not that kinds of herb.

LOL.

Jokes aside the game looks nice , reminds me of Populous from 1999.

Quoting: PatolaThis one bugged me.
I love Strategy, but I loathe roguelike.
I adore Stealth, but I despise procedural generation.
I am addicted to Turn-Based RPGs, but I hate JRPGs with a passion.
Can't decide whether I will have love or hatred for it.

Flip 3 coins ? :D

Was there a previous version of this ?
The way that trailer describes it , it almost sounds like an expansion of sorts.

Looks very interesting but will probably wait till it leaves Early Access before I purchase a copy.

It never ceases to amaze me how much love people have to make these mods in old school Doom.

Quoting: AzPThe most insane thing is that Steam is still 32-bits and a lot of games as well. That was a hard realization when I had to build all the 32 bit libraries that they depended on when disabling STEAM_RUNTIME on Gentoo.

Yeah, though I doubt it will remain like that for very long.

If Steam don't support 32bit, then those people who are using a 32bit system might suddenly stop having access to their game library. Not updating 32bit Steam then might hold back 64bit updates lest they break something. It's a tricky situation they've backed themselves into really.

Almost nobody is running 32bit systems any more. Especially not gamers. Even on Windows, where people are less.. enthusiastic about tech, less than 2% are left using 32bit systems (according to Steam hwsurvey). Quite simply, Steam could afford to lose a handful of people.
And if they did the change, I'm certain most users on a 32bit system would simply upgrade anyway. What else would they do, not play any more games? It's not like there is a real alternative to Steam around.

Honestly, there is no reason to stick with 32bit systems any more other than "no need to upgrade" or old hardware.
It's been known since many years that 32bit won't be lasting too much longer any more, not getting newer software, etc.
At some point, people who still stick to their old stuff just have themselves to blame and developers should NOT hold back because of them.

And if someone, for some reason, is still bound to some ages old 32bit software, well - there are always VMs.

Some people can't afford to update their hardware. I guess they're to blame and should lose access to their game library?

No, if they bought a game, then they have that game. It's not a rental. There are still plenty of Windows XP installs out there too.
Don't mind no further updates, but telling people their system is now too old so no more old games is wrong. No matter if it's one person, 1%, or 90% of the userbase.

At least with drivers the OS doesn't need updates to continue working - a frozen snapshot will do. I would hope Valve allow the same if they ever switch away from 32bit.

While true , corporations and FOSS projects think differently.
For a FOSS project people can always keep support for legacy tech or fork and make something dedicated for legacy devices.
Corporations usually don't care for the minority of their users. Update the EULA and drop support for the legacy people. It's not fair but it is how business usually runs.

Tried to run it and got that. There was also an exception window but I could not select it.
It's odd , I get the two logos then a black screen.
On regular wine (3.4 I think) i managed to see both the intros and the main menu but trying to start a game resulted in a black screen.

Are you using Steam version? If yes, make sure to disable Steam overlay. I've heard it's not compatible with dxvk. GOG version obviously shouldn't have this problem.

It's the GOG version.
But thanks for the heads up.
