Thrive, the free and open source evolution sim has a fresh release with save support
28 Jul 2020 at 5:00 pm UTC

Current version is quite barebone, and it took seven years (i think ?) to get there.

I do want Thrive to thrive, but seriously, it’s extremely slow.

The good part is that it is NOT "Spore", way more scientificish, and it’s quite easy to go extinct if you don’t care about your evolution, based on the environnement you target.

It seems the F2P modele comes with a perk : going for positive to mixed review rating on Steam...

Note that Cryofall runs on Linux Proton with some light tricks.
Timing luck, i did a report on Proton just last week.

(edit : my bad, the only one i missed was the one : Stage Overlay)
How do you have this GUI ingame ?

I’ve enabled most of the Overlay GUI option but it’s still quite a mess.

Based on my past, favorite games, mood, mind etc, i’m supposed to LOVE this game, but i can never manage to enjoy it, for "some reasons".

I should try harder, on paper it’s an almost perfect game for me.

Albion Online turns 3 with a big celebration and major update in August

I re-installed it this week, not aware of the birthday party. I played 10 minutes, couldn’t stand the zoom level and the GUI.

It was already bothering me at release, and i played 2-3 months thinking it’s going to change, then the game bored me and i stopped.

Now i feel i can’t accept it. The zoom is horrible, i understand it’s for "tactical" reason, but my guts say it’s for mobile support reasons... The worst part of the GUI is the wheel of skills. Who designed that, and who decided it was good enough to stay almost identical for 3 years ? It’s hard to read, full of emptyness, uneasy to navigate, impossible to have a global view, etc.

Dead Age 2 brings party-based tactical zombie survival to a more open world

It’s still early but so far players are not so happy with DA2, with only 52% positive.

Too hard, unfair balance, events you can do nothing about, unwanted zombies behaviors like basic ones able to throw molotov etc.

Developer of Robo Instructus gives out sales info after a year

It was on my radar, but not enough time and passion to play it, yet.
I think selling 2500+ copies of this ultra-niche game is actually quite a good score.
