Was quite excited for this, to revisit some nostalgia with the likes of Crash, Zap, or Computer & Video Games. However, while they're indexed, they're not actually scanned. There's a lot that is, but nothing I actually recognise from when I was growing up. Maybe they'll be added over time.

Edit: just noticed this in their FAQ: "Our archive portal only includes items that have been processed and have a digital copy available to the public". But that's not my experience. If you go to the Crash [External Link] section, they clearly state that they all but one issue. But there's no links to any copy. And if you go directly to the Digital Archive [External Link] and search there, there's no hits for Crash when searched in "Title".

Eh, it's early access. I'm sure they'll work it all out.

Tried this the other day and it was an absolute breeze to use. After all the pain I went through to get minor Skyrim mods working on Mod Manager 2, this is an incredible step forward. I can't wait for them to add Skyrim support though, so I can start my... fourth?... play through.

This is really cool... but it looks pretty complex to build. Some of the "check you have this" in the build guide are things I don't even know how to check. I guess I'll have to wait until it's packaged. No doubt it'll hit AUR for Arch-based distros pretty quickly, but I might be waiting a while over here on Sid.

Fixed an issue where dropdown menus would sometimes fail to appear.

I don't know about "drop-down" menus exactly, but I've had various occurrences where, after a long session, the top menus won't produce anything when clicked - such as when I want to do Steam/Exit. Luckily, I can still exit cleanly from the systray icon, but I wonder if this is the same bug.

If so, very welcome!

Should I hoard more?

Always.

Actually, the sheer chaos of it reminds me of Revenge of the Titans, which is definitely a good thing. On the wishlist it goes!

I got utterly hooked on this during its demo season, and I've been waiting impatiently for this announcement! Amazing synergies possible with this one and that was with the demo limiting what was planned. I can't wait for this to release. Another month though, goddamit!

Man, this looks ridiculously fun. My jaw kept hitting the floor when every vehicle was revealed to be "real". Love it.

Minecraft, in space, with vehicles... and a story-mode? Count me in. Yeah, I guess it's a voxel NMS, but the story in that left me pretty cold, and the "collect all the words" got old quick too. I wonder how engaging this feels to play.

And the execution of that "absurdist web comic" (not sure what else to call it) is at the very least decent.

You could call it "Placeholder graphics" though. Sure it's consistent, and it's good to hear it's the style that the dev was aiming for. But personally I can't get invested in a game with that style, because it DOES remind me of a half-finished game, awaiting actual, finished art.

Still better than I can draw, of course. You know what they say - those who can, do. Those who can't, critique.

But I'd personally have to be extremely invested in the game's story, logic and gameplay to look past the graphics.

I'm with Tevur, sadly. Love the style - it's got a real Bard's Tale 1 feel about it... but those graphics. I just can't.
