Quoting: thoughtfulhippoThis looks like a clone of Minecraft. How are they going to get sued by Mojang/Microsoft?

It only looks like it, but the game is different enough. Every time models and such get updated it gets further away from Minecraft.

Quoting: GustyGhostWait, so is it standalone or does it depend on Minecraft?

It's a standalone game, no Minecraft required. :)

Quoting: liamdaweSounds interesting, has a good few graphical features and general gameplay features not in Minecraft, an actual modding API and so on. Added to my list to keep track of.

Good first article! Had never heard of it :)

I definitely enjoy it! It's not as hardcore as TFC which is great. By the way, if you'd like to see how it pays, I have a series [External Link] going.

Thank you for reading and for the compliment!

Quoting: neowiz73nice find, thanks for the write-up :)

I know, right? You're welcome.

I honestly can't wait for the 1.0 release. I'm glad they're integrating the food restrictions mod. It's quite a necessity in some difficulties. I see people don't want to pay nearly $30 for the game because it's an indie game, but honestly? I struggle to think of any other indie game that is actually worth that kind of money.

By the way, if you'd like to see how it plays before buying, I have multiple series: alpha 16 [External Link], beta 18 [External Link], and beta 19 [External Link] (which will be updated to 1.0).

Quoting: razing32Looks like the first stage of Spore on steroids.
Not saying that's a bad thing.

That's what I thought too! It's great because that was my favorite stage of Spore.

Quoting: liamdaweTruthfully, I've not always had a great experience with Lutris. The interface needs a lot of work to make it more friendly ...

Same here. In fact, though I've no interest in making videos, I nevertheless seriously considered making one of me trying to use Lutris, so the devs could see what a confusing morass the UI was for a (or at least this) uninitiated user.

I think you should do it, but keep it friendly and constructive.

It's a good thing that Lutris came along as well. I always thought that PoL was resting on its laurels a little when it came to the user experience.

I've honestly had much better results with Lutris, both in ease of use and actually having things work, so competition in the space seems healthy.

What an incredible mindset! I just wish more developers thought like this and tried to do things this way as much as possible.

Quoting: Philadelphus

Quoting: DraconicroseI've been following the development of this one for a while. It's funny, I really like it though it's a bit different than my usual games. Kinda reminds me of the old zoo tycoon: marine mania. :P Too bad we don't get whales. Anyway, just in case anyone is interested, have my let's play [External Link].

I actually bought Zoo Tycoon (and its two expansions) after being inspired by visiting a zoo (the San Diego zoo, maybe?), and spent a lot of happy hours with it. This looks like a great game, I'll check out your Let's Play while I wait for it to return to Linux. :)

Thanks! Honestly, you're probably better off playing ZT on Wine somehow, since I doubt Zoo Tycoon will continue as a franchise :(
