Alpha 12was just released: https://7daystodie.com/mini-bikes-physics-bears-a12/ Way to much stuff for a quick summary, way too little stuff to get really exited about, but I have to play it before I can judge it. Some of it does sound kinda cool on paper. Once again increased modding possibilities, ...

Not sure if it's a AAA title but I'm enjoying Styx: Master of Shadows rigth now. Hehe, I was just expanding my post with a sentence about Styx before reading your answer. For some reason, it doesn't click with me ether, even thou on paper it should. That's propably my problem thou, not necessarily ...

Its a very different feeling between "If i get caught im fucked" to "if I get caught im gonna murder everybody here". I never finished Dishonored, but I've finished T1 3 times, T2 5 times, and T3 2 times. I played about 3/4th of Dishonored with a pure ghost playthrou in the hope...

That's not a tip for new players Alex. That sounds more like how to negate all challenge in the game in one paragraph. We tried (and failed) to tackle skeletron with that load out yesterday, so I somewhat disagree. It skips progression a bit, but only enough to fight 2 of the 26 (!) bosses currentl...

Thief vs. AAA Gaming (27 minutes) "Thief: The Dark Project" and "Thief: The Metal Age" are games I consider among the very best video games ever made (on place 2 and 1, resp.). This video compares gameplay and mechanics of the old Thief games with modern AAA titles. I disagree w...

@psion that's a coin portal, it appears rarely upon destroying a pot A tip for new expert mode players: Get the demolitionist, buy 30+ bombs, turn them sticky by combining with gel, get to the corruption/crimson, destroy 1 or 2 orbs with the bombs so that meteors spawn, find and mine a meteor with b...

I've been playing expert mode with a buddy of mine for a good 6 hours yesterday. There is no going back for me. The big problem with terraria for me always was, if you are properly prepared and know what you are doing, you are always ahead of the progressing difficulty (I'm a filthy min-maxer and av...

One other reason for them to use MC for this is propably the low-fi nature of minecraft. From people that have tried the thing at e3 or before I've read that MS is a bit misleading, since the head-thing is different of the camera-thing they film with. First of all, in it's current form, it has a ver...

Here is the E3 demo for Microsofts hololens-version of minecraft. xgakdcEzVwg Skip to 1:25 for no-Lydia-Winters-mode. I don't know, maybe I'm getting old, but I don't need... that ... This tech would be amazing for CAD, architecture, education, presentation etc. Why minecraft? Obviously they'll do a...

Just a heads up:

Steam Summer Sale just reduced 7 Days to Die by 60% to about $10 and Prison Architect by 85% to about $5 (!)

I gotta say I didn't like it Me nether. I'm square in the target audience for this, interest-wise, but I can't ignore its problems. It's of the "wow! so random" school of comedy. There is no real story, just scenes put together semi-randomly. It felt more like a 30 minute trailer than a m...

"Intro To Pottery, Candle Making, Glass Working, and Unemployment Benefits" actually ;)

Somehow it took until now for me to get the joke in the tile, kudos ;)

are there certain skill books I can only obtain in certain biomes? i've been too scared to try the city, burnt lands, or frozen wastelands because i ALWAYS die in less than a minute of entering them. Along that vein, how the heck does one make clay for molds? despite dozons of skillbooks i've yet t...

I'm still shaking my head and wondering where it is we're supposed to be going every time I see mention of that thing :) Yeah... I hope the pimps know that, too, meaning we get some incentive later on. Maybe even *gasp* biomes with different resources and different difficulty. I'd certanly rather h...

since this thread is up anyway, here is a video the devs posted a few days ago, a preview for the next version: O0z4WRv60bk A few new systems (new physics for blocks and bodies), some much needed inventory tweaks (Shift click when in a storage chest will transfer items to the chest from your pack, o...

Finally solving the "Minibike"- mystery:

For example, I remember reading something Roger Ebert wrote late in his life along the lines of him thinking that games would never become art that caused me to lose a lot of respect for him. To me, that's a clear example of someone that obviously understands one medium extremely well, but really h...

Maybe he misspoke or tried to say something else. I wanted to expand what I was trying to say here shortly. He talks about games vs. movies vs. books in the context of a game that references specific WW2 movies and imitates certain scenes and plot points of said movies in a very specific and "...

In my opinion the element of interactivity makes you more invested if it's done well. Well, the video is about a game series that recently got notorious for "Press F to pay respects" ;) But yeah, I agree with both of you, and I like FCs photograph comparison. He does say a few things abou...

I debated if I should simply post this in the YouTube video thread, but I think this deserves his own thread. I follow this YouTuber for a little over half a year now: Noah Caldwell-Gervais He posts long, in some cases really long videos on games and game series, always articulate, always well thoug...

I think it far more likely that someone just got a little carried away in describing their physics-based camera system :) I think it describes the (new?) tanky and sluggish camera-movement-system-thingy. I don't know if it was because I played other, faster games in the past few months, but the fir...

Quotes from the devs About leveled loot: We are planning on leveled loot, and actually its in there, its just I don't have time to integrate it correctly so maybe a12. We haven't really fleshed it out yet. I'm leaning towards difficult areas having better loot vs level based, but it will probably b...

I still hope the whole leveled loot thing is something they scrapped in the meantime... the last time I read about it through the official channels was in early january. That really is a stupid idea, and maybe they realized that too. Leveled crafting on the other hand... that's something I want to t...

Alpha 11 News: They are in the progress of switching from Unity 4 to Unity 5, polished a lot of the assets and textures, included some 3rd party stuff (speed tree), added new shaders (ambient occlusion), and the game looks awesome.

Lol, wait... You need an icon to show you when a person is naked in this game? XD It's not really an icon for naked, it's an icon for "unhappy because of clothes", ether because of tattered clothes or, yes, because of nakedness. But not everybody who is naked will be unhappy about it, sin...
