Build a colony on a hostile alien world, today Maia is finally released

Quoting: SkipperroThis game is a disappointment or me. Bought it long time ago - was not playable on Linux at all. Throughout development it was a little bit better, but still barely playable. Now it's released, it's still 30 FPS on Titan Xp, looks like crap, have bad controls and feels more like a job than entertainment.
Works for me. Titan X. Mayhap you should get in touch with the dev?

Quoting: g000hReasserting the fact that it was hard to find high-calibre staff with these credentials: Lead Unity programmer, DevOps/Server programmer, Business Intelligence/Data Scientist expert. Many people interviewed were not suitable candidates, due to inexperience or lack of ability (i.e. Couldn't complete the on-boarding tests).
That means nothing to me.

Mayhap you're sitting on some isle?
Mayhap you pay peanuts?
Mayhap you required unpayed overtime?
Mayhap people with experience don't feel like working in a startup / basement to get burnt?
Mayhap you should search for _three_ different people for your 3 different jobs?
Mayhap you should _train_ your staff to _become_ high-calibre?
Mayhap ...
Mayhap your argument is simply unsuited for the discussion at hand: We got backstabbed once more - and in a genre that has a tight fan base after all.

Quoting: g000hThere seem to be a number of overly-upset Linux gamers on here, with respect to this game's change of position.

It has been mentioned in comments numerous times on GOL website about the problems of making payments supporting kickstarter developments. You support a kickstarter, you are risking your money that you won't get what was offered.
We are overly upset because it's always the same gorram story.

This is the reason I stopped Pre-Ordering.
This is the reason I do not support any kickstarter.
This is the reason I leave games on my wishlist until someone else bit the lemmon of another lame port.

Exceptions occur. There are some I trust kinda blind to date. Feral Interactive e.g. and a small bunch of Indies. That number is dwindling tho.

"Beeing in the gaming industry" my ass. I'm in LINUX GAMING _and_ programming fer almost two decades by now. How often do you think a person can be fooled with the same lame arguments? There are hundrets of qualified LINUX programmers out there that know probably way more about cross platform development than other programmers. How's that? I tell you: Most devs simply don't give a f*ck whether their stuff could also run on a toaster or a potato. They only care for _one_ thing or niche. Where is this idea coming from that you need a "specific" programmer "only" for Linux? You think that programmer can't do anything else but Linux related work???

And don't tell me there are no resources for this when there are obviously other programmers on that team that can deal with let's say _only one_ platform? Especially if we follow the path of "they lost their one Linux guy so they stopped support"? If there's a free position put someone else on that job. If this is no longer possible you're in deep trouble already. This is a sign of failed planning and management.

Yes, overly upset.

Quoting: botchikiiRising World is perfect for builder, for sure. I love this game.
Where do you play? I'm on medievalrealms.co.uk since this is perfect for a timber buildings lover like myself :)

Quoting: garpuHuh, interesting. So a less tedious Wurm? (I do like Wurm, but it's old school, even tweaked.)
It does look like Wurm On Steroids. I'm quite happy with Rising World lately tho. The build system with "planks and beams" is really a thing for me. Tired of the ever same walls/windows/roofs. Also coming: Blocks resizing and rotation, afaik. Perfect for a builder like me :)

Will check this out anyway, oc.

Quoting: Colombo2. Connecting basic game features to progress in game is stupid. "Hey, you can quit the game from main menu. But you need to build building X to get to main menu!" It is OK for some minor things, like skins, unlocking music or so, but basic functions should not require any progress. Especially save or pause function, which are so much important for people who need to stop game at exact time or stop it momentarily to do something different.
Nowadays I'm already happy to get this without a DLC ?

If you have trouble with keyboard input in some Unity games, there is a workaround (updated)

Quoting: 14Well, now I know why I wasn't experiencing this well-known bug. It must not occur to KDE Plasma users.
Gnome user here. I never experienced this well known bug. It must not occur to Gnome users.

Of my.. I probably sunk a year of my life into this. That was such a fun game back then :D

Dev is very active on Discord. Mayhap ask there. Works for me. It even started on my work laptop without dedicated gpu. Just the i7. Stuttering, of course, but launched. Fedora tho.

Netcode on the other side... plenty of issues that I hear are resolved in the upcoming Steam release of this game later this year.

My dedicated alpha server is running fine for days now.
