Conquests of the Longbow is one of my favorites.
I watched an excellent video about Conquests of the Longbow recently - I'd never even heard of it before then!

Yeah, it's good! It was written by Christy Marx.

GOG has a manual with interesting history of the game and very cool art.

Quoting: NexxticGame is available DRM-free on Steam. No launcher required

I'd rather buy it on GOG or Itch.io. Any plans to release there? They do accept early access games, though I don't mind waiting until full release.

I tried to get into the game but got quickly bogged down by too many details. I was looking for something similar to Freelancer, with more focus on space exploration and etc. But it felt differently.

I don't get this part:

QuoteUse cases have been identified for which separating the core GPU programming out of the full DRM driver stack is a strong requirement from our key customers.

Why does it need separating?

I hope DRM-free release will follow. If they pulled off good NPC AI, it can be really interesting.

GOG will purge your Cloud Saves that hit over 200MB

Never really used their cloud storage, but just to point out - 35 saves for later parts of playthrough in Cyberpunk 2077 (that's manual and autosaves) take around... wait for it... 302 MB! So with such kind of limit that's not really practical to use their cloud sync I'd guess.

In the early parts of the game saves are much smaller. I guess they somehow accumulate state of the world the longer you play and grow in size significantly.
