A few months after entering Early Access, Daedalic put their RTS 'A Year Of Rain' on hold

The bases where not very good in my opinion.

Pathfinding terrible yes, but also weird economy, scale, IA and other stuff.

Too many games release in Early Access way too soon in their life.

Quoting: Patolait also feels bland -- unevolved from the latest 20 years.
Ah yes, that's very much what i wanted to say, my lack of english didn't find the right word.

I play it from time to time, didn't try the last update yet. Last time i think was early 2019, probably taunt by the update at that time.

It's nice, but... Well, old. Systems are solid, but i don't feel attracted to visit or flight or much.
Things are not very attractive, visuals and sounds are quite poor and uninspired.

It's "just" a playable too old game, with an amazing scape.

FOSS washing is just another kind of greenwashing.

It's super fun, and weirdly addictive. I think i bought it around Liam's time as well. Being active suggesting many stuff and talking with the dev on Discord.

Isometric university management game 'UniverCity' development stops - goes open source

Well, it's good to say they stop, and go open source, but the game was never fun. I played it months ago. It was barely in alpha stage, released way to soon on Early Access with almost no content.

Like too many others.

Early Access is a powerful tool, but you cannot expect to release more a prototype than a game, then provide no update, and still attract players and positive reviews.

Quoting: bigbadwaffleHi there! Developer of Isleward here. Thanks so much for posting this.

To anyone playing, I'd advise them to use the direct link: https://play.isleward.com [External Link]

The embedded player in itch works pretty well but certain hotkeys mess with the interface a bit.
Yep i can confirm that, on my french BÉPO keyboard on itchio i cannot use 1, 2, 3... to use skills, while i can via the direct link playing via Firefox.

It's actually quite fun already, even if simple.

Feels like Diablo with 3 classes (warrior, mage, archer), a hub and a lot of bashing and looting.
It has a Path of Exile skill trees, even if much simpler.
Also, it's a mmorpg, and right now there are about 20 players online.

Quite expected actually, but still not good at all.
