But most of all, you cheated BABA

While I'm not interested in any of those games, I hope that they're really good and people enjoy them.

Things I am excited for this month:

- Sunless Skies Kickstarter
- Tangledeep Kickstarter whenever it launches
- Waiting a whole month for the Stellaris expansion to drop in April
- The humble monthly bundle, because I love buying games
- Actually playing more of the games I own!

Also for February's horrible malaise to leave so I can spend time being happy and write stories for friends and spend more nights being energetic instead of tired all of the time.

Stellaris 1.5 looks like it's full of really good stuff but also sounds like they aren't addressing ship combat/design or ground troops yet. So maybe I'll just keep it on the shelf until then.

As I understand it, the devs are looking to fix that stuff, but yeah, not in this update. Up to you if you want to play the new update when it hits.

And frankly, I'm not sure there's another way when it comes to small developers aiming for large games. Rimworld for example is a huge game (despite its simple graphics) made primarily by one dude who contracts out a small amount of work to other people. He's not particularly wealthy. The game is not getting made unless someone pays for it and very few publishers are even interested in what he's making. So we foot the bill. It's not optimal and I wasn't interested until it started to resembled a real game and then I jumped in.

Honestly the early access label works perfectly for tiny indie games, and specifically for roguelikes, which are like the definition of tiny indie games. They're usually made by one dedicated crazy person and never come out feature complete, as there's always something new they can add.

Anyways, there was an interesting discussion from one roguelikes dev and others about if he should release his game in EA or wait until it's 1.0 that starts here:

People who have played Death Road to Canada: How fun/replayable is it? I am considering buying it but I don't have any friends who have played it to ask the opinions of.

Very fun, very replayable! The core game loop of roadtrip cyoa sections + stopping to whack zombies as you scavenge for supplies is rock-solid. There's a ton of content in it - weird roadtrip encounters, unique characters, different weapons/settings to fight zombies in -

Let me put it this way. If you dig the humor, you'll probably be like me and put in 20+ hours. I've won a few times but there's still more to see and do.

Game is good.

I can get just as woozy from running around in the Witness as I can from the Talos Principle, oh boy!

...At least the puzzles are more satisfying, even if the game, uh, doesn't have a story at all so far. (Outside of the odd environmental storytelling.)

You can do it! Some puzzles in there took me hours to figure out. Others I had to come back after a couple of days and what seemed completely incomprehensible had become obvious.

Thank you - I will keep plugging away at it, but...slowly. It's a beautiful, tough game.

For me a lot of the puzzles fell into the category of "easy to learn, difficult to master" but once I got about midway through each "set" or "type" of puzzle they started to get easier as long as I did them in sequence. Some nights I still have dreams about Tetris puzzles.

I...I was approaching the puzzle in the wrong way and just solved it!

Man, this game is mind-bending.

I took a break from playing the Witness to get on Uurnog (by the guy who made Knytt) and it's cuuuuuute. These boxes keep making cute noises as I ferry them around and there's a bird set of boxes that flies and I'm just so charmed by everything in this game, even when a gun goes off at the wrong moment and nukes half of my cube collection.

e: Also just in case folks missed it Uurnog's on the humble store for sale. Dunno if it's going to steam.

I think separating art from artist is a lot harder for video games because the developer is often such an integral part of the game itself, not just in its marketing and branding but also its creation. In a lot of cases you can feel their influence while you're playing, especially if you're aware of how deep their involvement was in it. Fez is a wonderful and puzzling game with a great art style and good atmsophere, but I bet no small number of people didn't buy it or couldn't enjoy it because of the looming shadow of Phil Fish.

edit: And I think such severe examples exist for all forms of consumable media regardless. Have you ever tried reading HP Lovecraft's writing instead of the wikipedia summary of his writing?

So I picked up gungeon during that sale and finally got around to playing it, and it turns out it's a really bad game! Who knew?

It's honestly the most divisive game I've heard these forums argue about. "It's great, goty, play it!" - Steam thread vs "worst game, play nuclear throne instead" - Steam thread.

I personally like it, but I'm not good at it so I rarely go beyond the first floor.

Regardless of whether No Man's Sky is good or not, I am impressed by how the team has stuck with the game, even after the game became a laughingstock in the media. Kudos on them for continuing to work on it and make it better.
