i bought this game so long ago, and i keep forgetting i own it until something like this pops up like once every couple years.
I just learned of it today and was checking out their dev blog and it went back to 2011??? That’s crazy.
Legendary game, only thing that comes close to M&B Warband as a sandbox IMO (shoutouts to Daggerfall)
You ever play X3? That’s what I’ve considered to be the Warband of space games for a long while.
I couldn’t get into it, but I do have several dozen hours on X4 :)
Yoo, for real? Okay, this is gonna be a big deal for me if that’s accurate
If it’s even close to M&B or Daggerfall my upcoming summer break is in trouble.
Yes its a lot like M&B but in space, it cost like 10€ but if you want to try it first, look at the video SsethTzeentach made about it, there is a (developers approved) code to play for free. I would also recommend looking at ironcladlion’s videos, because the modding scene is BIG and add a ton of replayability to the game. Honestly 11/10 i spend a few months each year replaying the fuck out of it.
Just played through the tutorial. Looks and plays great.
I’m guessing one of the reasons it’s not in Steam is that it depends on Java to run? I don’t recall every having a Java based game on Steam
Slay the spire is on Java
Project Zomboid too AFAIK
Huh, i thought PZ shipped a Java runtime?
Oh my, you’re right! I thought it’s in unity, because of their later strong stance against it. Maybe PC version is in Java and some of the ports in Unity?
Can’t see a problem with Java on Steam as long as you bundle the runtime and not depend on linking to it
It would be very very arbitrary of Steam to bar a game based on the language it’s written on.
Mindustry is on steam
Why would that be the first reason you came up with and not the fact that steam takes a ridiculous 30% cut from dev’s work? And yes, the game is that good, so good they can tell steam to fuck off. Makes me like the game even more…
As a dev while steams cut is large and id like to see it go down, you do get a lot for it.
