Looks gorgeous, like Homeworld 2 but bigger. I really want this to be good: I spent so much time picking through the HW2 game files to create my own robot drone race, with its own tech tree and ships. Of course I was hopeless at 3D modeling so I couldn’t do the full mod like I wanted to, lol. Maybe I can make my robotic Vorlon race again?
There’s a few games I missed out on over the years, due to a long period where I had neither a console nor a GPU. HL is one of them… I’ve tried checking out some older games now I have a GPU but struggled to get into them due to the graphics.
So I’ll 100% be getting stuck into this when it’s out! Big thanks to the team taking on this task.
I find I can’t get into them if I physically play them on PC. One look and I get the “potato graphics” feeling and start increasing AA, texture packs, etc. Now if I stream it to my TV or phone, it’s like “oh okay this is normal for this thing” and it tricks my brain to not caring.
This could totally get me to finally get going and build a new gaming rig.
I wish the team luck. I’m sure it’s not am easy task, looking at other, similar projects like Black Mesa, but the demo is stunning. Would love to see what Ravenholm looks like…
I posted this last time the trailer was posted. I am in the UK indie dev scene, and heard about this stuff before it went public ( at least some of it.)
Essentially an employee of Failbetter Olivia Wood, came out and admitted they’d been in a relationship with Kennedy that had been kept secret when hired. You can argue that this was a bad arrangement, but the trouble here is Kennedy held all the power and used this to his advantage. Kennedy then dumped Wood for another employee Lottie Bevan and lied about it to Failbetter; he was Lottie’s Manager. He started becoming increasingly abusive to Wood. Threatening people in the studio who picked up on it while keeping others ( some people are fully remote) in the dark.
Other women in the industry spoke out about it including Emily Short, who at the time was a freelancer for Failbetter. Stopped working with them for a long while ( you can see why in her tweets) and then joined them more recently. twitter.com/emshort/status/1166807338336051208?la…
There’s also the weirdass PC GamesN article Kennedy and Lottie Bevan the other FB employee ( and other Weather Factory employee) did about their relationship before this stuff came out. Even if you don’t want to look through various rebuttals, I think it’s really odd. pcgamesn.com/…/sunless-sea-lottie-bevan-alexis-ke…
As has been said none of AK’s legal threats went anywhere, and with current social media disintegrating it’s a hard thing to follow. Obviously, make up your own mind with this. But it’s more than a he/she said situation.
