Their newest game is going to be on a custom engine. As for the games still being updated or about to release I think they said would be very expensive to rebuild in a new engine at this point.

Thanks for the recommendations. No idea Victor Lucas had a podcast, I’ll have to check it out.

Interesting. In Canada you can now drive a 11,000kg rv without any kind of special licence. Not sure how I feel about that one.

Interesting news from paradox considering their recent downsizing.

When it was free on steam it was a much more generic ww2 game and I believe the factions didn’t even have the fictional names they have now.

Now the devs have made a point to say it is not a simulator for any of the world wars though inspiration has been drawn from an amalgamation of 20th century warfare.

It’s completely fictional but the other reply is accurate in that it’s more WWI or interwar period themed.

Thanks. It also hasn’t been WWII themed for years.

I also don’t like this narrative journalist are running that development on haunted chocolatier has stopped because stardew valley is still getting little content updates here and there.

Just got to the second city and I think I’m hooked.

Factory gamers were eating good this year.

I believe SOMA is less horror-y and generally more approachable than the other frictional games. It may be because it’s a scifi story, like the other games you mentioned enjoying.

I used to hate horror games, but I realized I actually just hated bad horror games. SOMA is a good horror game. It has a compelling story, fantastic atmosphere and sound design, and the frictional games devs are great at balancing the suspenseful moments with more relaxed thoughtful moments. All of this makes getting through a stressful or scary bit of the game more worthwhile.

Like Ashtear said, the safe mode prevents the monsters in the few areas they patrol from ‘getting’ you, which I would say somewhat gets rid of some of the suspense. However, after you’ve been caught once and have to reload a checkpoint, they just become an annoyance so I wouldn’t blame anyone for turning safe mode on.

I’m only 17 hours in and my base is continually getting beat up by medium and big biters

Thankfully the new one doesn’t require further downloading. The trade off is that even more of the game is server-side.

1900’s to end date would like a word with you.

Loot boxes and what is essentially a market of nft’s. Otherwise they’re pretty cool I guess.

Really? The key art even had two divers on it during early access. I just remember being kinda bummed when they said it wasn’t happening. I don’t think they knew how their game would turn out at that point and it did turn out great in the end.

A large portion of the player base wanted it because they advertised it as being a big feature of the first game and then walked back on it.

Does the Nvidia app have gamestream? That’s all I care about

I’m also surprised how much the full release has taken off. One of my favourite things has been watching streams of people 100% new to the game to see how they solve things.

I was skeptical of the alien tech but dimensional depots rule.

Starting my new save in Dune Desert this time around because I never really see that much of this side of the map.

Top tier game and dev team.

If this means you’ll no longer be able to share with neighbouring countries that’s a real shame.
