I'm pretty gutted about this. I wasn't really aware of this game until this issue and I'd probably have bought it if I known - I love the walking-sim genre.

I just wish the Dev wasn't so focused on helping everyone. The support goal should be steamos and ubuntu, to hell with the rest. It's nice to be nice, but when you're running a business, you have to be realistic.

So yeah, hugely disappointed with this. I'd be buying it otherwise.

On a more positive note - I'm really enjoying Quern at the moment. It's a walking-sim-with-puzzles, in the style of The Room (a little - mostly I mean in the way you interact with objects). Lots of fun, if a bit frustrating at times.

After months of Flamebreak, I'm hoping that this is the 'one'.

Hmmmm. Nope.

And goddamit, I'm such a huge fan of NdGT... gutted that the messages coming from this project are so weak and confused.

Now I have Tenacious D [External Link]playing in my head.

Think I'll pick this one - looks like a lot of fun, although I never played any of the series before.

You need to mention for people that it's not stock Wine and not stock staging either. Otherwise it's misleading.

He states that you have to manually patch wine in the video.

Honestly, I turn off in-game chat in everything. I use my own clients like Discord, Mumble or whatever. Always works better.

I often do as well, but there was a period of a few weeks where I was regularly kicked from heists for ignoring in-game voice chat. I think it'll mainly only affect stealth missions, where the later missions are basically impossible without proper collaboration and timing.

Quick update - if you add -force-glcore to your launch options, you'll lose the purple water, at least at high quality. Much better. Very impressed with this release so far, even with the various reported issues [External Link].

Full agree with g000h and rcrit there - A16 is waaaaay harder. The vultures are everywhere and kill on two hits, often causing bleeding too. You now only reap 2-3 wood on hit, instead of A15's 8-9. I didn't know they'd killed spam crafting as a leveling mechanic, but glad they have - nothing more tedious than making then scrapping hundreds of stone-axes, no matter how realistic that is.

Snakes everywhere, lots of wolves and bears, occasional dogs, sleepers, new zombie types - great variety. The game feels darker too in unlit areas, which is good. I'm really liking the distant terrain - it makes the world feel massive and you no longer have to wander aimlessly - just find some high ground and look around. I also found my first proper cliff - a river valley. If I'd fallen in, I'd have to follow the river for what looked like a long way to get out again, assuming I didn't die in the fall. Also, traders. That'll be fun later, especially in multiplayer.

I find that the stealth even seems to work a little now. I can sneak up on zombie quite close before I'm noticed.

Overall harder, but a huge improvement.

Is this worth a punt then? It seems to get rave reviews on Steam, but I haven't seen a Lets Play, so I'm not sure if it's my kind of thing. I loved Balder's Gate back in the day, but didn't really like the mechanics in PoE much. I enjoyed a bit of Divinity, but grew bored after about 20 hours or so. I absolutely loved the Shadowrun games.

I also have a bit of backlog, but I'm looking for something to sink my teeth into now that I've finally finished Salt and Sanctuary (twice!).
