Quoting: EhvisTo get those, you need to move around to other islands as well. Make something better to sail with because the initial life raft is a disaster.

I can tell... I simply did not understand that ther are _SEVERAL_ other building menus hidden and did all this with that life raft. It just clicked when I watched some Let's Play.

I swear.. in some cases is the UI just genius. In some other cases… well duh.

I see. So they just released the tools and SDK because.. quake was mod friendly?

That may be normal nowadays. It was not back then. And boi that simple quake mod really made a wave.

Quoting: JuliusIt wasn't so much that Valve understood, but rather that they were providing the latest version of the Quake1 engine in a really popular game (Half-Life). Quake1 has to this day an active modding scene as id really understood (back then).

I remember this quite different. Quake itself was popular but not like this. Not at all. Sorry. Half-Life _became_ popular due to it's superb modding support.

Releasing the tools needed for this was a perfect move at this time.

I was there. Run my own mod projects (as in plural).

Quoting: liamdaweSo what we've learned is that mods are awesome ;)

tbf I wonder how modding would look nowadays without Half-Life back then. That modding support and scene, that evolved around it, was unseen before.

So yeah.. Valve understood this. Back then at least.

Quoting: Phlebiac

Quoting: bekoFedora next?

Nope, they will not include proprietary bits by default. It's well supported via RPMFusion though.

I know and I do use RPMFusion - like anyone else. A man can dream tho ;)

After so many years of adding foreign repositories for decent GPU support we really get NVIDIA to a huge distro? I almost shed a tear :woot:

Fedora next? :D

Played this a while today and I liked it for a very early alpha game. Sure, it's a lot of running around type quests to get familiar with the area. And yeah, it does crash. As expected and noted. Shame on me I forgot so save. No autosave so far ;-)

My attention was more on the details from a historic perspective and while I take issue with _some_ stuff - like clothing - I'd file this as alpha issues that will probably be resolved. Attention to detail, like no potatoes and not even orange carrots, really fill my heart with joy :)

Other stuff I've seen is subject for discussion. Hard to put a nail on this. Mayhap it's creator knows some sources I don't.

Oh yeah and Edit says:

> 24 hours real-time

Time is progressing faster and you can sit down (or sleep - or pray) on many occasions to speed that up a lot. Useful when waiting for some stuff like cooking to finish.
