Unless i've missed something, it's more a big demo than a free game.

No campaign, many unlocks are locked, and first button before playing is "go buy the complete edition".

Quoting: Beambooma game "with potential".

That was ATOM. Last year.

Now it has reached its potential, and it's great since already several months. I'm waiting for the full release to start a new game, but i really enjoyed what i saw in my previous, unfinished, campaign.

It's far from fun in its current state. I have the "influencer version", it's the "most advanced beta" available, i think. The GUI is quite terrible, content quickly limited, and it lacks many core features. I love it on paper, but it has still a great way to go before it becomes more than a small curiosity.

I really don't know how they could think this economy model was a good idea for a VIRTUAL cards game.

It's a great game, i played it about one year ago, now waiting for a more advanced version, and still keeping an good eye on it.

I've about 65 hours on TWH2, with about 15-20 mods (aestetical mainly), and i encountered zero crash (only actually two crashes but fully related to a couple of outdated mods i wanted to try).

On my system, it runs well at 40+ FPS with everything on low/medium, and ultra textures for the units.

If i remember correctly, they (Stainless) released at some point a picture of a car driving over pinguins, didn't they ?

I'd have prefered (much) more work being done on Robothorium, but well, i'm curious to see that one too.

I started a mod last year, but i'm not playing it much these days, so no more modding.

It's a really nice game, with a great "2D Total Annihilation" feel to it.

Quoting: theghostSounds like you've got some hours into equilinox already.
How is the game progression and endgame content?
The concept looks fresh and nice but how long does it take until it becomes repetitive and boring?

Yes, i've played about 6 hours to the current version, and made an article and a video (in french) :

The game progression is quite linear. You start with only one kind of grass, then you unlock sheep, some trees, then some flowers, some algua to turn water into river to add some fishes, etc.

After you complete "tasks" you will unlock a new kind of grass. Grasses are the key to spread new biomes (biomes don't exist by themselves, you make them by planting grass and other plants, each plant spreading biomes in some extend). Then inside this biome you can add new plants, animals or fungus, and you will unlock a new grass after completing tasks.

And again.

The nice part however is soon you have enough to actually have to think about how you want/can colonize empty lands, and how you need to cross biomes to support variety of life forms.
