On one hand, I agree with you, but it's not exactly just because people are awful. There's no greater goal in the game design, so as soon as you've got enough gear to survive, the only thing to do is kill other people. But then that gets boring and you end up with weird shit like this http://kotaku.com/meeting-with-c… Read more

I read an interview with Garry today and he talked a bit about balancing for that kind of stuff, so hopefully we'll see something like that in the future. Read more

Yeah, once you die you respawn with nothing. There's no war going on, if you see someone coming at you, it could just as easily be someone helpful as someone who's going to kill you. I mean, they're probably going to kill you, but there's a chance. Read more

As I recall, they aren't interested in adding graphics or making it a retail product. If you've never read it, the NYT article about them is great. Read more

Glad you enjoyed the commentary! We had played once before, and I had gone through the tutorial, but there were a couple things we had missed. Read more

I'm bringing you more of him! That's why he's in this video! Read more

Nope nope nope. I'm flashing back to playing Tekkit and I don't want to remember how long I spent learning about various types of Minecraft wires. Read more

Oh wow, I just googled some pictures of the lazy newb pack. That's crazy, I hadn't seen something that complicated for it. Can you actually interact with the pretty version, or is it just a rendering? This is the first time I've thought "maybe I can do it..." Read more

I'm pretty sure they have no interest in making graphics for that game. If you haven't already, definitely read the big NYT article on them. Read more

Maybe I'm just lucky. I didn't even realize I could make straw beds until day 3! Read more

I didn't know anything about that and I didn't lose any yaks until those god damn goblins came and killed some. seemed like common sense to feed the yaks :/ Read more

Evan showed this to me right after I finished the video and I checked it out. I'll probably do a video on it soon, but right now there's very little in the game. The graphics are obviously way more pleasant to look at, and it does a WAY better job of showing you what things are. But there are things missing. Like… Read more

Shhhhh, it's okay no need to bray you're out of the grey now go out and play Read more

Reluctantly starred. Read more

I love when that happens and you can't say "my z key is broken!" so you have to say "the proper key to type the word" Read more

No problem. I liked your write up! The fact that it was going for a different feel than games like The Ship/Spy Party is actually why I liked it. Shame it didn't work out, but hopefully someone will pick it up! Read more

Download the graphics and a copy of GameMaker and give it a shot! Read more
