Nooooooooooooooo I was literally just talking about being excited for this game.

I remember Flayra from Natural Selection, a half-life mod twenty years ago. I remember him making appeals for investors/donations to keep Unknown Worlds afloat (or maybe just launch it as a company. I recall a video he posted where he showed us his tiny apartment and the milk in his fridge.)

Then Subnautica came out years later and I thought ‘Well I’ll be damned.’

tjhowse,

Were you on the NS forums? I went by “Scythe” back in those days.

what’s unknown worlds? and why should I care?

hydroxycotton,

Lemmy is not for you

Someone64,

I’m so sorry there aren’t only posts about the latest Valorant skins here :(

jumping_redditor,

idk I thought unknown worlds was some kind of video game I’d never heard of

Well this just wrecked my evening.

But this is an ongoing, recurring story. Thief 2014 was a mockery of the original titles.

But can I still buy the OG subnautica?

Heads up: once in a blue moon it’s on “sale” for free on Epic Games.

(Ask me how I know.)

firipu,

Fuck epic games, but I was happy I didn’t have to buy it a second time on steam to play it with my kid.

I’m just contemplating to get the mobile version of Subnautica.

bananabenana,

I don’t really understand this sentiment. Cheap games are cheap games. Not even steam lets you ‘own’ your gaming library. More game market competition is good not bad.

I feel like I learn more about what I shouldn’t play then what games I should play when I am on here.

Natural Selection and then Natural Selection 2 - no games or communities like it. Before there time both of them and very much under appreciated. Felt like NS2 never really found it’s rhythm but Unknown World kept it going longer than most games.

Just gonna copy paste my comment on a related post…

Similar shit happened when they were PUBG Corporation. Fuck these lying assholes. Player Unknown was a smart, capable dude, and they exiled him to a remote office because he got pissed at the CEO for over-monetizing things in a way that cost them players.

When they released the battle pass while the game was retail, all of the non-Korean employees nearly revolted. It wasn’t smart, and it was a money grab on the players. When the team lead of market research told the product manager that the feature was a bad idea and would lose them all their Western players, the product manager got him demoted and moved to another team.

When the numbers didn’t look good, the data analysts were freaking out because they couldn’t deliver bad news up the chain of command, even if it was accurate.

When they acquired Mad Glory, they promised that the dev team would still be contracted to other game companies to build APIs and tools for them, keeping the game industry tooling ecosystem healthy (think op.gg). When PUBG Corporation acquired them, the company canceled their contract with Bethesda for the API they were in the middle of building and forbade them from working with other companies.

Fuck Bluehole. Fuck PUBG Corporation. Fuck Krafton. Fuck game studios in Korea. Don’t play Korean games. Kpop and cosmetics and whatever are chill. Don’t play Korean games. Korean game companies are fucking cancer.

Don’t buy Subnautica 2. The Subnautica franchise died when Krafton became the publisher.

wellheh,

Probably would not add kpop to the list of chill. That industry is rife with abuse like slave contracts.

Well, you can’t deny that whatever are still chill, at least. That’s not nothing.

Why can’t OG devs just opensource the code out of spite

Not my cup of tea but pretty cool. And nice thinking with using SVGs for scaling.

Lembot_0004,

Just some fun information: most modern engines hate SVG. They just render them to the raster and then manipulate them like any other bitmap, making everything extremely slow and blurry. If that is mostly ok with small pictogram-tier images, it is completely unacceptable for big map-tier images. My map is tens thousand of pixels in size while at the highest scale. Bitmap would be a few TiB of RAM. So I actually parse the SVG to get the vectors and draw them, omitting the rasterization.

jokes on them, i already pirate their games ☕

I’m thrilled were still making games like this.

Lembot_0004,

Not sure if that is sarcasm or not. But if it is: we actually have plenty games “like this”. Look at the Civilization. Yes, they are more 3d nowadays, but essentially it is still good old moving units over hexagons.
