Agreed on both points - I am skeptical they are such "amateurs", and it also doesn't necessarily seem like a cash grab considering how Craftopia is faring. It does seem like there's way too much buzz currently going on however, it's hard to say what is true or what is just an outright lie... hoping to learn more and see how this progresses in a few months. Also hoping they stay dedicated to improving palworld more than the valheim devs did (meaning barely anything, thank god for the modding community there doing what little they can to keep the game alive).

I see 2 games, Overdungeon (which seems finished or at least out of EA with positive review scores) and Craftopia which is still receiving updates and was also pretty well reviewed until people started giving it bad ones when palworld released.

I haven't tried it yet but it seems like a more polished Ark and that game is a massive hit despite the developers being just outright terrible.

Valve's Proton is open source but is it also free to use and distribute in commercial software? Cuz if so, there'd be nothing stopping GOG or Epic from implementing it already, they don't need this project at all

Sounds like this would be easier to setup and use than Lutris though - dunno about everyone else but I'm always so very confused trying to get non-steam games running on linux, with all the custom paths, simulated folder structures and prefixes while steam apparently does it on its own out of the box.

Ok that sounds really interesting then, hoping it will be ready for wide adoption soon! Thanks for the explanation

Any chance someone can ELI5 this for me? I've been trying to game on Linux and I'm frustrated / confused enough with wine / lutris / proton an debugging their weird setups and interactions as it is.

Is singleplayer more compelling than Ark or Conan Exiles? Games like Valheim or Project Zomboid can completely take over my life but Ark/CE was always just kind of an aimless boring grind.

He really got me interested in the game tbh, I've been craving a "maintain and live in a vehicle game" ever since I experienced the Cyclops in Subnautica and maybe this ends up being a similar loop.

Someone must have signed off on this and thst person should have gotten jail time IMHO.

Long time ago RPG used to refer to pen and paper RPGs like dungeons and dragons by default. When pc games using these systems got made, like baldurs gate, they were referred to as cRPGs to distinguish them.

Nowadays video games are so popular that when someone says RPG it means the computer game, but due to tradition / nostalgia CRPG is still used to describe the genre of games inspired by the pen and paper RPGs.

I think I still prefer owlcat games overall but damn, I really like how streamlined BG3 is. I do not miss the infinite buffing and pre-combat preparations that pathfinder boils down to in the end - and despite this I still feel like combat in BG3 is more tactical and I have more choices every turn in the end.

That's just one ship though, and it's literally just walk afaik - you can't actually do anything on it. It's hardly comparable in any way
