I know it's supposed to look inspiring, but I can't help seeing the guy in the thumbnail of the launch trailer as doing an A-pose.

Quoting: pbPlease remind me, will these demos disappear right after NextFest or will they stay available? Or at least stay in my library if I install them now?

The most likely outcome is that they will disappear, though sometimes developers keep them around afterwards. But if there isn't something explicitly saying that, I wouldn't bet on it.

I'm kind of in the same boat, no pun intended. I adored FTL for the freedom it gave you in combat. I'm not sure I would've enjoyed it as much if combat had involved deck building. Don't get me wrong, I also love Slay the Spire so it's not like I dislike deck-based combat in general, it's just that FTL had that incredible tactical freedom to pursue so many different options depending on your loadout.

That said the trailer's short enough that I didn't get much of an idea of what gameplay would be like, so I'll reserve judgement for now and see how it plays closer to release.

Looks interesting, and wishlisted! And not actually Dune related as I thought from a casual read of the headline.

Seems a bit optimistic to call it The Last Plague.

My current job ends in three days, and with all the free time I'm about to have on my hands I figure I might give this whole "streaming" thing a try.

Hey, they added Coilheads from Lethal Company to Minecraft!


(Yes I know Weeping Angels came first. )

Quoting: MayeulCThere is even a first-person mode. I was going to suggest you play the free demo :)

Haha, I didn't know there was a demo. I've played around with it some more since my last post, and I still get my mind blown every time I see pictures of what other people have done. It's really quite incredible.

One more little factoid I picked up from an interview I read with the developers: it's not only written in Rust, but was developed using the still-relatively-new Bevy engine.

Quoting: SamsaiThere has to be some other way to get vulnerabilities fixed than by doing some kind of a salesman marketing spin campaign.

Having read the blog post, it sounds like Simone Margaritelli would strongly agree with that sentiment.

YESSS. Finally! I've been waiting for this one since it was announced early this year. I've always loved the alien zoo event, and have wished for literally years that it would one day go from a few preset species to a full-fledged system in the game. We deal with the sapient species, and occasionally a few pre-sapients, and there's some space fauna, but we don't see all the non-sapient species the galaxy must be teeming with apart from a few mentions in events. Time to collect 'em all! With mega-structure sized Pokéballs Gravity Snares…

And if that was all there was I'd be happy, but a new midgame crisis? New civics, origins, relics, and music? Two whole new tradition trees?!? I know what I'll be doing come the 29th…
