^He could have completed Arcanum in that time.

 

[lightbane]

Still waiting for the launch and the price.

 

[Kyl Von Kull]

^He could have completed Arcanum in that time.

He will never finish Arcanum because there are no dialogue boxes.

That game doesn't have wolves

Ahem, I assume they'll be good goys and not have pre ordering, but I wonder if the price tag will be 15 or 20$. That and I hope they give copies to influencers for them to lose their shit at it :D

ok I'm calm now

 

[Jimmious]

I'm also pretty interested in this game as I was looking for my "filler" game, as in a game that I can play in small intervals :D

 

[cvv]

For me FTL is easily one of the best games ever made. Damn right I'm super excited by their next project.

Also, took them a fucking while, jesus.

 

[Jimmious]

FTL was awesome indeed AND fulfilled my wish for such "filler" games. A session could be like an hour and be fulfilling and interesting all the way through. Currently my time availability is low and I appreciate such games a lot

The Into the Breach soundtrack is now available for pre-order on bandcamp. Three tracks right now, and the full album on Feb 27th. They are pretty sweet.

Fave track is 16, "Rift Raiders". Awesome. I can perfectly imagine it in the score of an amazing action movie.

It also reminds me of the Iron Man game OST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QybQCKyXBbc

 

[MicoSelva]

Any word on the expected price of this game?

BTW, there is some info about ITB in this podcast interview with Chris Avellone (towards the end). I like the concept of time travel integrated into the roguelite mechanics.

Looks more like Puzzlequest than it does Advance Wars :/

More interesting of a preview:

 

[HoboForEternity]

Oj well, i am gonna be sent to our branch in a rural town for a month in march, and i dont have my gaming pc with me, only shitty laptop so this and avernum 3 will probably fill my free time in the dreadful rural area

well okay it is not bad when i am playing vidya
Life in small towns can be quite a hassle and the internet is probably slow

 

[Arnust]

Seems like this game will be nowhere near 1GB on size either, though.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Yup. I can easily play and install them with shitty internet with shitty company assigned laptop.

 

[Jenkem]

there is much less hype for this game than I anticipated.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Why there should be hype?

However groundbreaking fresh FTL was: it was still relatively simplistic game from dudes that might have just stumbled into that concept by accident.
One hit wonders happen.

This is form a guy that think that FTL has been the most innovative game of 2010's (so far).
Darn thing practically started its own sub-genre.

FTL retreaded a lot of fairly familiar ground, it just found a neat way to repackage it so to speak. Nihil sub sole novum.
