It’s funny cause when the game flopped, they couldn’t give it away. Now a sale is 25 bucks. Great game and worth every penny no matter what you end up paying.
I’ve bought this game so many times…
- I bought the pre-order on PS4 (and loved it).
- I bought it for myself on Steam when I built a gaming PC
- I bought it for a stranger on Discord who said he wanted to play it but couldn’t afford it
- I bought it for my son so we can play it together
I see it on sale like this and I’m wondering if I can buy it again…
Steam sale means a patch is coming. Guess it is probably part 2 of the worlds update. Part 1 was spectacular. Can’t wait!
There’s a broader space exploration sale on Steam right now. This might just be for that.
True. They also have Elite Dangerous on sale for $5.99.
Wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. They keep releasing new expansions for free which is definitely admirable, but I can’t help but feel like they’re trying to build a castle on the foundations of a shack. Maybe it’s because procedural generation doesn’t mean the things that are procedurally generated will be interesting, or that the different game mechanics still feel pretty disjointed to me?
In any case, the options they added a year or two ago to fine tune the difficulty definitely made it more playable- not as punishing as a survival mode but not as lacking in impact as a creative mode.
Procedural generation’s philosophy is “work smart, not hard”. If you have a truly clever generation alg then you are creating gold from vacuum and it is miraculous. But, speaking as a guy who spent 10 years inventing a clever generative alg, you really do need to give your whole soul to the project. And only the insane do that.
