I've still got a copy of DoomRL on my machine from back when it had ASCII graphics.

It doesn't work, but I have it. Something to do with an "Access Violation".

I played the demo for this last year and it seemed to be on the right track. Core gameplay was pretty good, and to look at the trailer it seems they maintain that well.

Hmm.

Afterplace on Steam: CDN $16.56

Afterplace on Itch: USD $5.94

I know the exchange rate isn't great these days, but this is a little much.

Downloading it now, but I'm kind of afraid that all this stuff is gonna kill performance on older systems. I'm hopeful it'll still be playable for me, but we'll see in a bit.

Edit: To my surprise, it works fine. I haven't been in the water or into space yet, but standard early game operation seems smooth.

I played the demo during the last Next Fest, and I don't think they had the hint system implemented there. I really could have used it for at least one of the puzzles. It's generally not bad, although the pixel style can be a problem when you're really close up to some objects. The Vulkan issue BloodScourge mentions might address that though.

I noticed a while ago that the name had changed on my wishlist. Definitely don't agree that the old name was inferior or hard to remember, I thought it was very memorable and evocative. Definitely different from many other games, so it stood out to me.

Nice to see it's progressing well though.

Quoting: Purple Library Guy

Quoting: JarmerWhoa, this is a blast from the past! I think I've had this on my wishlist for ... actually I can't even remember, 4 years? More? I used to have this high on my anticipation radar, since the demo was great and the entire setting was just fantastic, but I guess it somehow got stuck in dev hell if it's still EA after all this time.

I will still keep it on my wishlist, and I hope they can get closer to a release.

Is it in EA? Huh, I guess it is. Weird that they're adding a named content update while they're still in EA.

There are a few games I know who do that. Valheim for one. Caves of Qud just had the Spring Motling update. Wayward has a big update coming soon that they're trying to decide on a name for. That sort of thing is pretty common I think.

I played the demo for this last year (I think? Or the year before) and it was pretty fun. Might be worth a look.
