I believe the kits are still entirely made in the UK rather than Asia like so many things.
The quality and designs are arguably the best in the world with techniques far more advanced than most rivals can compete with.
This doesn’t mean they don’t get greedy and stick on a huge profit, I believe they heavily rely on staff who love the hobby to run their stores too and pay very poorly.
It’s good to have a constant in the current world, steam seems okay, I love what they’re doing for Linux gamers, I think they should reduce their share by at least 5%,but they do a good service and seem competent.
I hated the existence of this game. Loved KH1 and excited to play KH2 only to not understand anything that’s going on. No idea there was an in between game on an entirely different console, not even a Sony console. Very frustrating as a kid.
Given the swathes of posts about bad behavior from big companies, I figure we could counterbalance that with some positivity about stuff the smaller guys made that often costs us less too.
Just looking though some of my higher playtime games, here’s a few I haven’t seen mentioned: (I think they’re all indie or small studio)
Gunfire Reborn - Roguelike fps with infinite replay.
Troubleshooter Abandoned Children - XCOM style battle system with a really really fun way to customize how your character fight. Story is pretty lame though (I ended up skipping it) and it’s pretty grindy.
Thronefall - Pretty challenging base defence.
The last spell - Turn based base defence with lots of different ways to build your characters.
Ratropolis - Roguelike real-time card strategy base defence. Pretty good, although not well balanced at highest difficulties.
I played about 2-3 hours online with a friend over the weekend. It’s pretty fun, the puzzles seem very easy though so far. Had a fair few issues though with frame rates dropping, I’m on a 5 year old machine running Linux, but my friend has a much better machine and still had.
Also swimming has normal movement, but flying has inverted vertical by default, wtf is that?
