It's true, I do hit machines when I'm stressed. Pretty sure I've not lost control of my bladder while doing so though. If I did, I blame my manager...

Just to clarify a little - I don't avoid EA because of bugs. I avoid it because I want to play the finished article. A game that stays in perpetual EA is like a demo to me. A glimpse at what will be a great game when it's done. Until then, I'll generally stay away.

I've made exceptions though. I backed 7 Days to Die and with 250 hours in that game, it's one of my most played games. Similarly, I love Oxygen Not Included. But both titles will be far better when they're actually done, and my free time's rare enough that I'd generally rather wait for that day than buy an unfinished game.

the whole Steam Machine idea from Valve never really gained any steam

Really, Liam? Really?? :D

Wish they'd just release it already. Literally waiting to buy this, but it seems they're quite happy in EA.

Regarding the spidertron, I don't know the details, but of course the 3D "version" of this game, "Fortresscraft Evolved" has had a spidertron sentry robot thing for quite a while. I wonder how much these two titles play off each other?

Quoting: Leopard

Quoting: Adamfx990I will actually buy it now :D

Why , for feeding Windows sales?

I might be being optimistic here, but I don't think he meant "I'm buying it right now". I think (hope) he meant, "great, now I can buy it". You might be right, but lets not jump to conclusions!

Adamfx990: In case you're new here and wondering about the sniping, if you buy the game right now, you'll be counted as a Windows sale, and Feral won't see a penny from you for their efforts. Hold off buying until it's released! There's almost always a sale on release anyway, and if not, Feral will love you if you buy at full price, or there will be a spring sale regardless, if you can wait.

Excited for this. Like Teleglitch, but with graphics that aren't a blurry, headache-inducing mess. Superb!

Also, love the Shodan-inspired voiceover. Great atmosphere with the lighting too. Looking forward to this!!

'Windows, Mac and Linux'

Good guys.

The artwork reminds me of The Swindle, but the gameplay looks more like that co-op PVP game where you fly around in airships. Can't remember its name. Iccarus?

Quoting: NotSoQTI really wish we had more games like NWN and NWN2. As today I'm still unable to drag my D&D gang into NWN, but this is surely a stimulus, with or without toolset (it would slow down the things a lot but...).

Also, I found this some years ago and I guess it's pertinent to share now for anyone who cares:
A reimplementation of BioWare's Aurora engine (and derivatives). Pre-pre-alpha :P [External Link]

DrMcCoy frequently posts here about his endevours on Xoreos! Here's a search of GOL for those articles: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/index.php?module=search&q=xoreos, although he does mention that they're mainly crossposts from the changelogs he writes for the project itself.
