Bay 12 Games Forum

Anyone checked out the latest version yet? I just got a steam key from humble bundle.

Now maybe I'll actually figure out how to make something in the shipyard...

I think it's just the change in the module-snap feature (attach one point to anywhere, rather than to another point) coupled with the lack of a symmetry option (yet) and new camera controls, but I'm actually finding it far harder to build stuff than the last release of the shipyard stand-alone. This is frustrating, as it looks like the rest of the game-so-far has been substantially improved. Hopefully these things will be fixed up soon.

Greed: Black Border is a SciFi ARPG.
The upcoming KRATER is a party-based ARPG with a Borderlands-ish setting.
Oh, and Borderlands is SciFi, of course.

So RPS-favoured platformer InMomentum, plus its soundrack, is going for $whatever here for the next few days to raise funds for their next project, an ARPG called Dilogus, as well as donating to Child's Play. If they get their target, $7,500, contributors will receive:

the Dilogus-The Winds of War Insider Bonus which includes special access to Dilogus as it develops, including concept art, level designs, music, prototypes and Pre-Release of the game before it officially launches!

They haven't made much of a dint on their target yet, though, and only about 100 hours remain.

Necro'd for new information -

So the "Initiation Station" character creator is now live for those with promo codes, which were bundled with Red Faction: Armageddon.
However, there's also a way to claim a limited number of access keys through GameSpot (free GS account required) links are here: X360, PS3, and PC (steam).
I'd recommend the PC version simply because there's no link to it on the main site and I had to guess at the URL to get to it, so I'm assuming there've been less keys claimed.

The Creator features a Spore-like ability to share your characters on the Saints Row website, and similar rating/tagging community features.

Had a bit of fun with it so far, though I've noticed that the layering of clothes has been significantly cut back from SR2. Also missing is the ability to set default facial expression. Hoping that this is just due to it being a limited demo. Despite this I've had a bit of fun with the creator so far - you can see my abominations here. It's also good to see the stylised graphics in action - they look fantastic.

Plus a lot of things that we've probably stopped looking at as bugs or even oversights - like having no straightforward way to muddy/irrigate a surface. If I want to pour water onto the floor, I shouldn't have to dig a hole through the roof.

I nabbed this as soon as I read it was out.
I'll save on repetition by saying that I agree with all of Haschel's comments. Suffice to say that this game is going to be a bit divisive, comparable to pre-patch S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Precursors, or White Gold.
I've only given it less than an hour so far, and much of that was spent trying to tweak the controls to a more fluid layout as it's fairly unintuitive. The tutorial consists of of a series of videos that the game reminds you to watch whenever you need to do something new, and most are either blindingly obvious or don't really explain themselves too well. The dialogue is atrocious, and the plot so far is utterly impenetrable. But overall my scattered impressions are more positive than critical; here are some reasons I am enjoying it so far:
The maps have a style to them that I find entirely appealing. Wide open spaces, insanely lofted ceilings, and bold contrasts.
Jumping off a small ridge will make you land with a massive thud and cloud of dust, which gives a great reminder to the fact you're wearing heavy armour.
I hacked a raider's brain and, while he was screaming in terror, made him turn and gun down his baffled comrade. Then I fried him.

I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy it more when I'm not juggling it with Old World Blues, as it's much too easy to draw unfair comparisons (why can't I loot that corpse? what do you mean I can only carry as much as I could actually carry?).
If you're willing to invest time and money into something that's not particularly slick or intuitive, but will be rewarding in the long term, I'd say E.Y.E. is worth it. And hey, you play DF, right?

The RFG lag spikes/stuttering can be fixed by changing the priority of the game process in task manager. It's something that should've been patched out, and requires a third-party app to save the priority, but it's certainly not insurmountable.
