Alright, I opened up the thread and thought "sigh, another hyped console game..." but after watching the vid I found myself wanting an X360 for the first time in a long, long, long time. It has a certain anime-esque style to it, without actually being anime-esque. And I must say that that style does appeal to me greatly.

Couldn't find a thread so I thought I'd just throw this your way. A fun little free-form game, centered around surviving alone in the wilderness. You enemy is attrition. I really don't know how to describe it. Definitely one of those small indie games worth checking out. <br /

Not only was I banned from the Bioware forums, but my EA account was suspended, so I can no longer log into my Dragon Age/Mass Effect 2 accounts or access any of my DLC, most of which I paid for. So yes, it does happen. Unless you want to call me a liar. [quote who="awuffleablehedgie" reply="6" id="

First is something I first mentioned way back and then in a couple of other threads. It's very basic and in my mind (may not conform to standard reality) should be very easy to do on the programmer end; A button to manually shift to the cloth map. Regardless of zoom level, some of us (me, at least) will want to shift between the cloth map and the 3D map at will. I may want to have a close-up view of certain aspects on the cloth map, use it to quickly get an o
Actually, the game itself even have blenders. There used to be one for the built-in Faction creator, but there also is one in the Sovereign creator and in the Tile creator. All you really need are three sliders (Red, Green, Blue) and a colour output.

I have never used XML, or been involved in the beta tests, so this question may be a bit ignorant, sorry if it is. I notice in the file that Faction_Background_Altar.png is referring no doub

I believe that if I don't wear this here tinfoil hat, they will murder me in my sleep. The satellites everyone have in their heads is used to track us.

I've come to the conclusion that I no longer want remakes. Just a couple of years ago, I constantly thought that "I want a remake of Deus Ex " and "I want a remake of Baldur's Gate " - things like that. But the industry is so different now and everyone that owns those names are apparently blatantly incompetent, with no understanding of what made those games awesome, or how to recreate them. It seems like the developers haven't even pla

I will only endorse this game if it is historically accurate. I demand witch burnings and rape.

Overall I like the change, but I'm not a fan of the yellowish text on the brown/greenish-yellowish-darkish background. I'd prefer plain white text (like in the quote boxes).
While I don't really have much of a problem editing .xml-files, not having a proper in-game/workshop faction builder would suck ass . Poking at the .xml's is something I do to tune or edit my factions beyond the basics, I'd truly hate to create factions from scratch. There's a reason I'm not a programmer or part of mod teams. It's not because I can't learn to muck about in various codes, but because I'm consistently bored out of my skull doing so. Edit:

By the gods, all this black is making me depressed! It also looks awesome ! I'm not sure why, though, but it feels blurred somehow and I'm getting a slight headache after less than 5 minutes. Could be psychosomatic, though. Or possibly the grey-on-black text. Perhaps whiten it a bit? Edit: Oh godammit, I just realized that all my bordered avatars are ruined. Goddamn.

All kinds of auras. Auras affect the character with the aura and every adjacent ally. Multiple auras that overlap stack in range and have an overlapping stack of effect. I realize this is a "convoluted" mechanic, but since it can be applied to a wide array of skills once coded, it may be worth it. Let me paint a picture of what I mean with "stack in range" and "overlapping stack of effect". Single aura: Red is a character, blue is range of aura(s), yellow are areas in which th

The OS will be 30 years old by then! I would expect that in the highly unlikely event that Stardock went bankrupt that a patch would be released to remove the activation from the final patch.
