Because MineClone2 is a dreadful name, and unfortunately, when ever anyone tries to differ anything slightly, a head can be taken clean off. The project doesn't want to be a full clone, but heavily inspired by, but with it's own direction. It needed to go.

I use Linux, so not Nvidia. AMD is great. Good power for the money.

Agreed. If they can get an English speaking engineering lead, they would have so many applicants, especially with recent layoffs.

A techie with both language skills would be highly valuable to them.

Thanks for the update and information. You really set an example for communication and level headedness in decision making. Thanks for providing this space for us.

They could maybe hire some testers. If you're removing beach properties, maybe test games that have beach properties. I have no idea how this falls through the gaps.

I'm yet to spend 1 penny on MTX and any game that has them, I avoid. It has been satisfying. Indie is QQQ for me. The Q is of course quality.

I don't usually go with new games. I tend to wait a few weeks or a month first for the hype to die down, see the reviews and wait for big bugs to be squashed, but really fancied the look of this one. Tried it, and I'm pleasantly surprised with how cohesive and smooth it is. I'm told it's quite like Ark: Survival Evolved (which I bought but never played) but without painful taming mechanics. Gave it a spin, and getting so much fun. Looking forward to my next time playing it.

Project zomboid had to start again after flat got burgled and laptop gone. Offsite backups are key for theft and fire. Version control is the easiest and cheapest way.

Someone always knows someone that drinks, smokes and eats crap and lives until mid 90s. Doesn't mean it's good health advice.

Beware anecdotal evidence.

No chance. Games will only grow. With so many good free engines, I cannot see people stopping making games.

I think with hardware, people bought PCs during the pandemic, and after (when GPU's became available), and after that, they had done their hardware refresh. Some of the bump from the year 2022 was likely because of people finally being able to get hold of their hardware. Because of the backlog catch up, 2023 would inevitably be a drop. Now they have a PC, the only question is whether you need a better monitor to support the hardware, and that would explain the growth of it now.

The only thing happening in the games industry is layoffs due to high interest rates. If interest rates are 2% and you make a 5% ROI, you make a profit. If interest rates are 8%, you're making a loss, so investment in games or any software ain't great at times of high interest. It'll likely bounce back as interest rates drop. I just hope more jobs are built within the indie sector rather than AAA.

I raised my concerns because it was multiple into the negative and I did not want this post or sub to get buried. There is a lot of negativity from folk that haven't played and probably don't even realise it's a survival game. Downvote whining is all about ones self and karma. It's from reddit, and you can downvote my comments all you want as it doesn't matter. I'm trying to build a small community up on Lemmy so you can go to it for gaming as well as tech. Small communities and posts on small communities get buried, then they die from lack of engagement.

What are you trying to do to benefit anything other than yourself (such as Lemmy)? Not seeing many posts, not seeing any communities you moderate...

Even legacy codebases get migrated easy. SVN etc. belongs in a museum. Best red flag for dead end dev job.

Youthanasia is my favourite album. Great song.

I'd just class it as Thrash Metal as they were 1 of the big 4 thrash bands.

Minetest, and in particular MineClone2. Always someone playing multiplayer also which is quite nice.

Mindustry is good fun also :)

It's a double edged sword. The channels are bridged across to Matrix, and the poll ran in multiple places, but 90%+ of the player community are on Discord.

They did test on Lemmy.ml for some weeks and it seemed fine. Then it was rolled out and issues flagged up. Not smooth or ideal, but these things can happen. Upgrading servers that interact with others in many ways can be rather complex.

Looked forward to it. Taking their jolly time, but I'm sure it'll be awesome.

It's an indie. Indies just piece stuff together based on the experience of their devs.

Why? It's simply owned to spew out content and make money. EA is perfect for it.

I downvoted because you seem unable to read. Already been said:

Edit: Looks like you have 1 post. No moderating communities. A shining example of giving something back to Lemmy... (negativity, it seems).
