Not to muddy the water but there’s also cataclysm: bright nights & cataclysm: the last generation as alternative forks as cataclysm is an open projects & c:dda devs are known for… interesting choices & attitudes so its good to look around at the forks to which variant is more for you!
Also they’re all free from their github pages, I really would not recommend if you do go for cdda, buying it on steam.
I just think this is going to be a bit of a mess no matter what way it goes. People have such a different idea of what this game is now based on the riot drive.
& I can’t help but think that’s kinda the point of buying it, because you only need to sell it in one burst of hype to make a quick buck, look at cube world for example.
Also the game has been sold off once, if someone like M$ came knocking, even just to kill it, you think if he makes a huge profit off the purchase, he’ll say no?
I think a lot of people have been waiting for this & the hype around it is just going to lead to disappointment.
Except we already know that he’s willing to sell, so if MS came knocking, i bet it’d be just a question of how much. If it can get off its feet of course.
I played it for a bit, it’s a tech demo through & through. Looks good, ui & other features such as controls need dialing in but they’ve stated for it they’re just getting the ground work in. Can’t really say to much about it because it’s just a tech demo but what I can say is I’m a little sceptical about how this game will fund itself.
Now I need to prefix this with I really don’t care Dean left dayz, some people really latch onto this but either way the best thing that happened to dayz was Dean leaving.
What bothers me is how much work has been put into the “Donation” website, feels like it’s been really engineered so they can capture 100% of the “donations” because Dean hates the 30% store fronts. The website itself feels really gamified, with daily, weekly & monthly “donations” & a banner vomiting out live donos & analytics & total raised. I’m just skeptical this isn’t an attempt to tap into a niche market, Robert Space industry style.
The C:DDA devs almost feed off of being antagonistic. I’m so glad BN & TLG got spun off as their own cataclysm forks because the Core devs of DDA are really quiet negative.
I’m a bit confused, wasn’t this announcement ages ago? Is it coming out soon?
Edit: yeah it was announced in December 2023, I thought I was going crazy there.
I’m excited for kenshi 2, even if I’m beyond wary of it being made in Unreal engine…
For a second there I thought that amazon had bought the rights to star trek…
As I quick aside, I read oded as odo as it was the last word before dropping to a new line & went through the very odd emotions of super excited to confused to sad when I remembered :(
I thought it was a good lighthearted community in-joke, better night posts at all
On this subject, anyone know of a good anterprise D model & where to get it?
took me a long time to write this cause mobile, some subject matter stuff & retrospective on picard (honestly got really confused trying to remember the series as its all over the place in what its trying to do). So, sorry for slow reply!
Don’t worry about it, like in my edit there is a lot going on the macro scale and i can imagine anyone that enjoys star trek is feeling the strain (streign?).
yeah i know the Kelvins are movies and you gotta give it more lax because movies need to hit wider audiences to justify the large budgets, that being said a low budget movie made by A24 in the trek universe would be something might actually go to the cinema to go see.
I feel the end of one is misguided because the AI hole monster is still like a thing? i mean i’m not going to lie the picard gollum lives rent free in my brain so when i try to remember what happened to the AI Tenticles from another dimension I think they just closed it but i feel like that still could be an issue, felt like dealing with the symptoms not the root issue? Also yeah the terrible CGI ships don’t help me remember that ending.
I would argue there is something very toxic about the borg queen & Jurati’s relationship but we know very little so i may be just imprinting bad experiences with codependcy. But season 2 is time travel so its like did all that version of the borg already exist or was it different and then i have to stop thinking cause at this point i think time travel in Star trek is only damaging things, though it’s like pandora’s box, you can’t close it now. Season 2 also hits hard because some of the subject matter follows a pattern of irl things happening in my childhood & i think it was mishandled in that season. like as a kid watching trek i’d clung onto the thought that if i’d been around in trek times things may have played out different cause we were better as a whole but season 2 kinda poorly inserted that but again i may be marred by my own experiences?
is ok, is a lot going on atm
Burnham was in the first season of picard? What?
Answering everything with combat & lasers? Like I love a good kirk fight on a rock outside cali but give me a well written “we are stronger together speech” or some introspective or our differences make us stronger together, which I think most trek has been able to do.looking at kelvin trek or picard & saying no thanks to that I think is fine?
I think on the mindset of what trek stands, bringing humanity together & tearing down divisions is really at the core. I think it’s completely fine to dissociate with elements of the media that seem to go contrary to that when you want to engage with something that pushes the idea of a positive future.
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.
Honestly what I think happened is, in the lead up to the game awards there was a lot of talk about the cost of slots & I imagine the final of the show cost a pretty penny. Then I think no one was willing to buy said slot so the haphazardly shoved something in a lot closer to the event then the usually would. I doubt this was anyone’s first choice.
