I play it from time to time since several years.
Steam may give them more viewers... and troubles, too.
Hope it will become bigger, better, badder, then !

The Spatials was already nice, this Galactology is really taking shape update after update. I've been enjoying it a lot already, now i'm only waiting for full release to start again.

I want to like this game since maybe 2 years, but i can't. It's to shallow and i don't feel i'm needed at all. I don't feel i'm a god, powerful, meaningful, and my impacts in the world are not very impressive.

Well, empty, maybe, but i did enjoy my 45 hours on it, it has charisma. Just waiting for the "final" product to replay it again.

I prefer Drox over the other games, partially because the space is less ugly to draw with an old engime, and more appealing to me. But my main grip with Soldak is the general artistic taste, not the technical engine itself...

Anyway, the games are great, and if you didn't yet, you should play Drox and Zombasite (IMO the previous games are obsolete because Zombasite does everything better).

The previous game, Enemy, is a hidden gem, a truly excellent tactical game, with Time Units (Xenonauts) instead of the shallow Move/Action (new XCom), and organic covers (everything can be a cover, based on line of sight). Shields block based on the very same idea. Mostly everything i destroyable, so you can hit a wall to collapse a roof on your target's head, and so on.

He also released an update this week, allowing for Steam Workshop, and it seems the game is easy to mod.

Sadly it's "old" (2015), and "ugly" (pixelated voxel), and the name "Enemy" is terribly generic, and the com was based upon the universe (play with Mario/Shinobi/etc world and enemies) instead of the gameplay, so i think many players didn't even see it. Myself, i saw it only last year.

I did a few videos about 5 months ago (in french : https://www.youtube.com/c/JeuxIndecents/), and will do a new one soon, as i started to play it again a few days ago.

Quoting: adamhm...

Thanks !

I still can't get a windowed game : it's windowed but taking all the screen, always with the same resolution no matter the options i pick.

But, at least i can play again with resetting the options.

Also the mouse cursor is extremely sensitive, not unplayable, but annoying. and it's stretched, but looking at some videos on youtube, it's seems "normal". Weird, if it's by design.

Quoting: adamhmThe offsets given at WSGF aren't exact... anyway I updated the wrappers with the aspect ratio options earlier, so if you use the updated version you'll now be able to apply/revert the hacks without needing to edit the executables manually.

I think i need to delete somehow my previous configuration, because when i start the game, i still have the "destroyed view" with a huge zoom and partially out of screen, without possibility to move it around. Not sure if it makes sense...

The game was going well the first time, then i played with the ingame options to find a good ratio. First i played a few missions with a stretched screen (but odd enough it was my screen size HD1080 : 1980*1080), then i changed to something smaller (HD720 : 1280*720) thinking i could play windowed, and i destroyed the settings. Since that, when i start the game, the image is "out of the screen".

I don't find any files i may delete without loosing my saved game to "fix" my issue.

Quoting: adamhmI'll be adding an option to the start scripts soon to select the aspect ratio & apply the required hacks as detailed at WSGF:

Thanks,

I tried to understand the hex stuff, and installed GHex to edit the ffvt3r from /gamedir/ folder
There, i can't find the offset 013A50, but i do find 013A58. As i don't know what i am doing, i prefer not to do more, yet...

However, looking at some screenshots, it seems the weird cursor shape and some portraits ratio are from the base game ? How is it possible ?
