I'm excited for kenshi 2, even if I'm beyond wary of it being made in Unreal engine...

I thought it was a good lighthearted community in-joke, better night posts at all

Yeah maybe but I imagine she'll deffo return when she can yo do what she can.

The other dev is the ain't devs wife & had to take time off to rest after a botched surgery. Whether they return is up to where there health is but the focus is getting better. Can cut out the kotako fluff & get all the deets from the games' steam updates section.

I think I'm like 1 of 5 people that played and enjoyed midtown madness 3 on xbox. Last time I looked emulation had forgotten it, wonder if this can run it!

I had such high hopes for starbound but it just kept falling short through development to its current release.

I got in on the crowdfunding they did on their own website & enjoyed the idea of the road map they laid out. Unfortunately one thing that became apparent fast through development was how much they wanted to distance themselves away from terraria, to the point it felt they took worse development paths if it meant they achieved this.

I had a lot of fun with the first version of the game which was a lot more aggressive with the survival, heat & food & drink mechanics but I understood why they revised that because to capture a larger audience I could see those mechanics needed to be toned down. Then the game just kept getting revision after revision & every time it just felt worse for the overall game.

What we have now is a fine & competent game that feels rather disinteresting overall & a shadow of the concept it was trying to reach.

Even the modding scene can't really elevate it too much & the game has a horrid taint after the unpaid contributer stuff.

Do you mean Volodymyr Anatoliyovych Yezhov? He'll of a brave man, worked for the original GSC until 2007 then it dissolved in 2011 & relaunched in 2014

Was developed in Prague through the war, just an fyi

Train

Goddamn, those wolves with high beams are a menace!

Also the save feature was super cool!... until you had to do it like 100 times. Liked the Mr handys or whatever they were called a lot though, hope we see more of them!

Three issues that come to mind from when I played:

The gun... if you ever played right at the beginning with the people you could take down that drop their guns... that you're not allowed to touch because I guess they've got cooties or something, really broke the tension & was the first introduction.

The length made me disconnect with the story, to the point a didn't care at all about anyone, was sad Bout the Scottish guy but by the end I felt I could very easily have dropped the game & been fine, I can't even remember how it ended.

The ai, as others have mentioned, was somewhat prone to breaking. For me it was the opposite issue to others & I guess (in part wanting the game to reach its conclusion) my own fault. I found that when the alien does its intro animation to tell you it's in the area (the music would also join in) you'd be locked in place for a small portion of it but then I guess they freed up your controls to go hide, like some game of alien hide & seek & the alien is counting. Instead force whenever this happened I'd just b-line sprint to whereever I needed to go. So by the time the alien was free from its forces animation I was long gone & the ai didn't really know how to handle that & would scramble to do something.

Overall I liked the game & would love something shorter, maybe based around the new movie or just completely removed from the movies so the game doesn't live in the shadow of any movie.
