Reassembly is seriously awesome. I completed the game with every race, then moved on, haven't played it in years. Maybe this is the excuse I need?

Everything Valve produce that isn't HL3, Portal 3 or L4D3 is pretty much cursed from the outset at this stage. I do have high hopes for the new Campo Santo game though. Because that's kind of not really 'Valve'. And I really, really loved Firewatch.

I was looking at this title last week and it's backfired a little for this dev - I ended up splashing £5 on TIS-100 instead. And frankly, while it's a steal at that price, it's mind-bendingly tough, made all the more frustrating when I complete a level, only to discover that @Samsai has completed it with one less node, 3 less instructions and about 100 less cycles.

Goddamit, Samsai!!!

I expect I'll try While True:Learn() at some point though.

I played this on Itch last year in October, offered to do an article on GOL, only for Liam to note that he'd covered two weeks previously and I'd somehow missed the article!

It's really excellent. Wholeheartedly recommended! The whole offhand weapon mechanic gives it a nice tactical feel too - shortsword and shield? Or shortsword and bow/knives? Or two handed weapon, so no bow and no shield? Great fun, seriously - give it a try.

I dunno, this looks like a modernised Tales of Maj'Eyal... I'm very interested! Looking forward to their release.

Quoting: dpanterI was thinking this looks really familiar and reminds me of another game, but it is probably just me re-remembering this exact game again... :D

The developer has been posting screenshots and gifs of his work for some months. Maybe that's what you saw.

Quotefund to help developers transition to more open engines, services, and ecosystems.

That's kind of deceitful. Unreal Engine is "source available" proprietary software and Epic could change the terms any time they'd like, just like Unity did. Then again didn't Tim Sweeney also call MS Windows an open ecosystem and then start complaining when he realized it wasn't?

Actually, he just redefined (in his head) what an "open system" is meant to mean. I try to be respectful, always, but I have no time for that guy.

Since Unity do go to some lengths to support Linux, while Epic pay the barest of lip service, I know which engine I'd rather "wins" here. Plus, Tim Sweeney - urgh. Constantly flapping his gums about Microsoft not playing nice... and then they pull this stunt.

Not that Unity are angels, as the article notes. But still.

It honestly looks a little frantic! I'm not sure I need that kind of stress in my life! :D
