Now here's a #game on #steam I'm looking forward to. More #4x is always good in my book. Let's hope this turns out well, but best we manage our expectations.
The-Man-Without-Eyes is a mighty messenger of the beings which are beyond gods. You can make a pact with him to empower Your Dark Lord, but what will be the prize?
This is character from my free, narrative-driven game: https://adeptus7.itch.io/dominion where You play as the Dark Lord/Lady conquering/destroying the world.
I'll be in Seattle next week (Apr 15-18). Have questions about how your company uses/releases #OpenSource, about it's #SoftwareSupplyChain management, or about its overall #Strategy/positioning?
Played my first real game of Sins of a Solar Empire II last night, and it’s quite good!
Much like the original but with some important gameplay tweaks. And I still appreciate Sins’ unique no-nonsense take on the 4x genre. #4x#sinsofasolarempire#strategy
I'm not one for "New Year's resolutions", but I am one for overly ambitious projects.
For 2023, Project365 is "One New Game Per Day".
Given that I have 634 unplayed games in my Steam account and {mumble} unredeemed bundle Steam keys, there's a reason my unplayed collection is tagged "Pile of Shame".
I'll pin this to my profile, and give a brief summary here each day (or x, if I miss x days due to work or stuff).
I'll play 15-30 minutes of (at least) one new game I've never played before (or played less than 15 minutes of). I'll give every game at least 15 minutes, even if I hate every minute of it.
I'm also open to suggestions; if you reply to this thread with a game, I'll schedule it, or tell you what I thought of it.
One of the things that's come up is that I have a bunch of games that I've played once, and not touched again.
Humble really decided to lean into the strategy games this month, with the third game in the bundle being HUMANKIND. It's a hex-tile based 4X strategy game.
It does a lot of things in a strategy game that Victoria 3 doesn't, which gave me a considerably easier on-ramp.
It purports to allow you to progress from a hunter-gatherer tribes, all the way to a space-faring society, but I didn't get that far in 23 minutes.
It could just have been because I was tired, I just didn't quite connect with it, and I don't really have much more to say about it.
I'll possibly poke it again, but it does feel a lot like Civilisation in some ways, and if I wanted to play a game that felt like Civilisation, I'd just play Civilisation.
The version of the game included in the bundle is the definitive edition, so you immediately have all of the DLC expansions right there, but I'm not sure I'll ever get that far.
