Quoting: RoosterYou put "No combat" in your game, you have my attention.

Mine, too. And as €2.something is a really fair price point I'm playing it at the moment. Seems to be interesting, and for luckless players like me really fast: It took me 10 mins or so to strand out there with a dead (out of fuel) and blind (had to disassemble the telescope to get silicon for the broken star drive) ship.

Second attempt, see y'all out there :D

Quoting: JSVRamirezDoes anyone have any experience with them?

Unlikely, they are not released yet : ) Tuxedo/Schenker uses barebones (most often Clevo) so it should be possible to get a similar machine - but Tuxedo's Pulse 15 with Ryzen 5 will not see the light until mid of septembre, the Ryzen 7 variant mid of octobre. I ordered the latter one and wasn't very happy reading the delay announcement...

Quoting: SalvatosHow much time do you reckon is spent doing crafting and gathering, versus exploring new locations and talking to NPCs? I’m more interested in the journey than the logistics, though it looks like it has a variety of minigames to make the crafting more engaging (and/or tedious in the long run?). Could you pretty much ignore much of the crafting to focus on other aspects, or do you need to build up the whole tech tree and keep stocking up to make everyone happy?

I played the demo and liked what I see - the fishing mini game wasn't too bad and the ratio story to mini games was fine.

And now I'm a proud owner of the gog version and will probably never open it again after a few of hours playing. The mini games/resource gathering is imo too overwhelming and my first reaction seeing the sawmill minigame was "what the fuck? are you crazy?". Maybe it has better usability with a game pad instead of keyboard, but for me it wasn't a relaxing game with a nice story line but longish segments of stupid games intersected by way too short snippets of a heartwarming story.

I will keep it as nephew and niece may like it - but I will not touch it again even with the proverbial 10-foot pole. I hope they will add an option to skip the games, I still love the art style and story of the game.

(the above is my personal impression alone. Don't blame me if you have a different opinion : ))

As someone quite often on the receiving end of French(wo)men speaking German: It's incredible _cute_. I want to cuddle all of them to death ; )

Except that my ship has a broken bell and/or someone steals my loot.

[if you put it that way there is not much to see. but I like the idea. drop you gamer glasses and look at it as a work of art. 'dammit : P]

Thanks for trying!

Quoting: dpanterI netted a rusty harmonica and a sealed box in my first two attempts so fishing seems to work.

Bah, I'm jealous. The WHOLE WORLD is against me : )

Has anyone tried Trawl[0]? The setting fascinates me somehow, and it works fine on my linux box - but I never catched anything. Unfortunately letting it run in the background is not an option, even Alt+Tabbed-out the game still grabs the mouse pointer (no idea why. The unity version is too old? some side effect of my desktop environment?).

I like it a lot, I'll certainly watch the progress. Good work!

Some unassorted comments:
- Only because of Stefan's explanation above I got the special ressurces. Now I only need to find a way to reenable the healing skill that worked - so far - only once : )
- A windowed mode would be nice
- I thought I was at the end of the demo, until Pangaea wrote about his problems with the skeletons. A dungeon map would be highly appreciated, it is clear that I missed something
- Is there a way to see open quests or recheck the quest items? blargh, I completely missed <C>. call me stupid...
- Even with my lowly intel integrated something the game looks nice and is playable with reasonable speed. Great!

Sorry for the delay, AMD decided at some point to stop sending us press releases.

Did AMD give a (good) reason for this?

No reply on it yet.

Maybe they use tracking pixels in the marketing mails and if your mailer blocks them they automagically remove recipients "never" reading the mails? It's a not uncommon issue with mailings lists.

Quoting: liamdaweI did also email them to ask where to find their press images, the ones you often see in articles on other sites.

Quoting: KimyrielleI am not aware of any example in industry history where a big studio bought a smaller one and still had it make great games.

Maybe THQ Nordic? They bought a bunch of smaller publishers/developers and afaik those are still able to work in a distinct style.
