Quoting: scaineI purchased on Itch, and noticed recently that it wouldn't start on that platform.

What is the problem? I haven't noticed anything. Do you use the client?

The error message I'm getting (just bought it on itch today) is something to do with not finding lime: "Could not load module lime@lime_application_create__prime". I tried running it through the itch app and running directly from the command line (same files, not the separate download). Based off of the bug report section of the dicey discord, there are at least a few other people with the same issue.

Yep, just checked - same issue here. Annoyingly, the bug report doesn't let you copy text, so no real details to share. I've sent another bug report, but the first one was ignored, weeks ago, and it still doesn't launch.

In 6 years of using Steam, I've only had one game fail to launch (Little Racers Street). It was incredibly common on Desura - in fact it was a key reason I never really used that platform. I'll be gutted if this becomes a theme on Itch.

Also reminds me of Clustertruck, which I enjoyed. Might check this one out.

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoNow I need a brand new Nvidia driver..
Why the PPA team takes so long?

This PPA? https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [External Link]

It has 418, but you have to running 18.04, 18.10, or the 19.04 beta. I'm on 16.04, so I only get 415 drivers - but pretty much a great experience so far. I didn't see anything in 418 that was particularly game changing to be honest.

It's a great game and I wouldn't argue the point much, but I get why some people don't call RotT a tower defence game. It breaks lots of traditional TD rules. The main one is that there are no routes in RotT. You're told that an attack will come from... vaguely over there, and then you build some emplacements to stave off the alien horde.

It feels more like an unusual RTS to me, even if you don't actually command moving troops, only towers.

I never actually finished it. If you do badly enough in the early levels, the game becomes near-impossible in later levels. And the ghost-aliens basically ruined the later levels for me (99% of your towers ignore ghosts, but you can build a manual laser tower to take them down - manual, as in, you have to aim/shoot the ghosts with mouse-clicks. It's tedious having to constantly scroll back to these towers to see if there are any ghosts attacking).

Got my money's worth though!

Happy GoL cake day, slaapliedje!

Does your name mean "sleeping song", btw?

Wow, sure enough, Google Translate tells me that your name means "lullaby". I didn't know that...!

Quoting: gustavoyaraujoFirst comment!

Jesus, calm yourself. This isn't reddit. Chill. :)

Really happy that the mouse-pulldown is addressed. I'll give that a shot this weekend - it was killing my Subnautica joy for a long time, so I guess I need to re-install that and give it another shot! (although you could always stick mouse acceleration to a very low number in game to get around it, mostly)

Will do some testing all round, I think! Love seeing these updates pour in.

I played an hour or so of this, but ended up just getting stuck, surrounded by loads of portals which led me round in circles. Shame, because the fighting is pretty fun and now that there's a shield, hopefully a bit more forgiving.

I'll give it another try.

Love this. If you liked Slay the Spire, you owe it to yourselves to try this too. I purchased on Itch, and noticed recently that it wouldn't start on that platform. Steam seems to launch okay though. Not sure where the discrepancy comes from - I reported the issue, but didn't get any feedback. Maybe the Itch issue is fixed with this update?

But basically, buy it. Immediately! :)

Quoting: einherjarHmm, to be honest, there is not one title, that is interesting for me.

I'm more or less in the same boat, most of it doesn't really grab me. Zed looks kind of interesting, and We Were Here Together would be good for a couple of streamer friends of mine to play together, but that's mostly it. None of it's going on my wishlist at this point.

Ya pair of cynics. Get out! :)

The performance on Minetest, last time I tried it, was fantastic. The only thing that put me off playing more of it was exactly what they've fixed in this release - getting it from "engine" to "game" was pretty tedious. Now that they're bundling multiple mods under the "game" banner, I can't wait to give it another shot.

You're never too old to appreciate a game like this! :D
