Deep survival game Vintage Story adds cave-ins, improved first-person, lots more animals

Quoting: hardpenguinI really would love to play this but I would rather do it on Steam so I can invite my friends to play with me.
Send them a message and go play together ? I’m an heavy Steam user for many years, but i never think there is ONLY Steam in my gamer’s life. Vintage Story is an amazing game, it seems a bit silly not to play it for such reasons. It’s not like it’s on an other EVILCORP system like Epic, it’s simply direct, straight, from devs, to players, and native Linux (i would understand the "need" for Proton, but here it’s not needed at all).

Huge fantasy city-builder Songs of Syx latest massive update is out
16 Jan 2024 at 7:29 pm UTC

It’s an awesome city management colony sim, with huge numbers. It’s a nice change from most of the colony games, with 10-200 people to deal with. Here it’s more like 20 000 - 50 000. Also i love the arts, the theme, the feel, the pace... Great game already, full release would be even greater ! Plus the musician girl doing the main tracks is very excellent (i followed her before i knew about the game).

I’ve a tiny wishlist, as i try to keep it under 500 items (five hundred).

Only 8 of them have a 50% discount maximum, about the same with 40% discount, and many with less than 30%.

I remember a time not so far ago, my list was going with -90%, -75% very often.

Of course i understand a cut is a cut, but as a customer, it’s way less exciting.

Also, i use my wishlist more to follow games (the "follow" button is rather useless) than to actually list the game i’m about to buy.

Since BAR (Beyond All Reasons), i cannot play any RTS without the position control (not sure how it’s called) : draw a line to move the troops so they end up on that line instead of a blob full of collisions.

Or at the very least, some sort of hard formation like Cossack.

Part why i don’t play 0AD anymore, too, and also because the units collapse into each others, while in BAR they have an individual... mass ? Volume ? Body ?

My hype for this game is about 0.01%

I really don’t care much, i may play it later, like 2030, DLCed, patched, smoothed, de-priced.

Maybe.

I play this game from time to time, since early 2018, and it’s nice to see its name poping here !

Diablo be damned, Last Epoch plans to release 1.0 in February, 2024

Quoting: GuestIs this game online or not? Does it have microtransactions? First thing i see on steam they are selling some kind of in-game currency.
Currently online, they said it will be offline eventually for solo players.

As we’re talking about changes to the client here, we also want to quickly mention our plans for the future of the Last Epoch’s offline mode. With Beta Patch 0.9, Offline mode will continue to work as it currently does, where it has some online services such as friends list support, and chat. However, as we move towards 1.0, we’re planning to make offline truly offline. This will mean offline mode will not require an internet connection at any point (beyond initially downloading the game). This also means offline mode will not support connected functionality but will offer a genuinely offline experience to players who want it. You will only be asked to connect to our servers when you select to play multiplayer and play on our servers.

Still a bit rough, but if they pour updates as they did for all their previous excellent games, i’m very confident it will be a again a great game from the T-Bro.

Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine fheroes2 v1.0.9 released

Quite obvious for most, but each time i see a "good old game" (not GoG related i mean) i think : it’s amazing how good 2D >>> anything 3D, and manage to walk across the age without much trouble.
