Thanks! Since I switched from (X)ubuntu to arch I didn't look back, might be interesting to listen to some of the talks. Just made my Thunderbird remind my forgetful self. :whistle:

Wow, huge scale indeed. Honestly, this sounds like it will never be done. In the trailer he says he plans to hire talents to add more content - I wished he said to help him get stuff done more quickly and possibly in better quality. Has he published anything yet? I've been there myself, wanting to get the best game with the most features out there all on my own (or a small inexperienced team) - like I guess most people trying to get into game development have.

Well, if it does succeed (and I'm still around) I'll take a loot at it.

Still running on RX 470 (I didn't even remember and had to lspci for it :grin: ), usually enough for the kind of games I play. Every time there is some new GPU generation announced, I hope for a reasonably priced model that has some lower power consumption and significantly higher performance so I might consider an upgrade. But with every new generation I have the feeling that only monsters are created or budget cards for office scenarios.

I'm sure efficiency must have increased somewhat, my card is now four years old (says the internet). To be honest I don't have any numbers and don't invest much time on it. Usually I take a look what models lie in my desired power range (< 100 W) and then fire up some of those "GPU X vs. GPU Y" comparisons and am disappointed at the not impressive performance gain.

My guts say it's a different story with CPUs. Still running on a X4 860K. Just compared it to a Ryzen 5 3600 which has less TDP (65 vs. 95 W) and, from some benchmarks I found, has 2 to 5 times the performance.

Am I just missing some products here or is the GPU market really evolving so much differently?

Somehow I have to scrape together some timeslots for this in case I win. So please count me in!

Thanks for the info, just backed! The tutorials I watched from GDQuest were really well done most of the time.

[Edit]
The campaign's goal has already been reached!:smile:

The cloud is so cute none of the people annoyed/hurt/killed won't be mad.

If you search for it's name on Steam there also is a demo listed in the results, though the page redirects to the main game's one. Since the trailer does indeed not tell much I had hoped to get my hands on the demo, but we have to wait for that, too, I guess.

Quoting: NezchanI'm not really sure what different "look and feel" we're talking about here, and the trailer doesn't tell me either. It seems...slightly more action oriented? Or a little more disturbing during scripted events? Or maybe that's just how the trailer is cut, I can't really tell.

I'm wondering the exact same thing. The trailer was conveying a different tone than the Half-Life I remember, though that's due to the kind of music they put into it. Their page on Steam doesn't tell much either.

There's another demonstration video available which, for a graphics tech noob like me, illustrates very well what global illumination can do for your game. I was very impressed:
