Quoting: tuubiThe game looked awesome in your livestream last night. Even better than Grimrock.
Yep, I've just bought it on the back of that livestream. Looks awesome.

Still in EA, so another great game I'm waiting to actually release, so I can buy. I do make an occasional exception though...

Quoting: BeamboomWhat's the "hardcore" element here?
Pretty sure it's just "hardcore sci-fi". From what I can tell, there's nothing particularly hardcore about the gameplay itself.

Like many here, I own the lot! Ah well... at least this article reminded me of Shadowrun. I might put a few hours into a re-run at some point soon.

As with Beamboom and STiAT, I'm looking forward to playing this, but don't generally buy EA games. I'll buy when it's "released" and after all the coverage GOL has given it over the years (wow... nearly five! Five years!! And four of those on Linux, it's almost certainly an instant buy!

Quoting: FoxyFirst they ask for more money to keep up the project & now they decided to cancel it ???

Unbelievable...
The article is pretty clear that it's not cancelled, but maybe you should read the original comment to make up your own mind.
Before saying that kind of things maybe you should learn to build your own opinion instead of believing things of one person especially when this guy who was supposed to lead the project ended up by tooking the money of thousands people to play with it.
So... even though I didn't state an opinion, and simply referred you to the facts as presented in the article... let me get this straight... I need to "learn to build my own opinion". Presumably, instead of using facts.

Whoa, gotcha. Glad we cleared that up. Peachy.

At a guess, I suppose I'm only meant to this when my "opinion" (or the facts) don't align with your own. Amarite?

Rise of Industry, a strategic tycoon game is now out in Early Access

Huh. I didn't realise Cinnamon and XFCE was the default experience on Ubuntu. :S:

I wish developers would just support the default, out of the box experience. Really weird to hear things like "Ubuntu is a mess" when they're actually talking about various respins. Valve's official line is that they support "Unity, KDE and Gnome". No mention of Cinnamon or XFCE!

That said, they also say they only support Ubuntu 12.04, which is hardly ideal in 2018...

So, so happy to be getting the sequel. Absolutely LOVED the first one, so this is a full-price insta-buy for me. And Vulkan! Boom!

Just superb.
