Steam refunds have been around for a couple years now, but many developers keep the particulars of them under their hats. Today, Rust’s Garry Newman published his survival sandbox’s refund data. It’s been refunded 329,970 times.
One Hour One Life is a survival game where death comes swiftly, even if you do everything right. You’ve got one hour before your character permanently dies, and you spend your first ten minutes as a mostly helpless child. Your parents are other players. Hopefully, everyone collaborates to get through a huge crafting…
It’s a well known fact that VR gives some people motion sickness. So what did the creators of Garry’s Mod and Rust decide to do? Build a rollercoaster game and name it after vomiting, obviously.
A couple weeks ago, survival hit Rust added playable women. This is, however, Rust we’re talking about, so players don’t get to choose whether they’re a dude or a lady. Controversy ensued. People threatened to stop playing. Some said Rust had dug its own grave. Turns out, the game’s player count has actually gone up.
First announced last year, indie survival game Rust has finally starting introducing female player models to the game. And, in true Rust style, is doing so randomly.
The Flame in the Flood is a survival game that just launched on Steam. It’s not about building, or zombies, or pranking your friends. Just surviving and seeking civilization. That makes sense, given its background.
DanielFromSL is the sort of guy who hops into online games with the sole purpose of wreaking havoc. This time, he’s brought his trollish antics to Rust, and the result is hilarious.
Steam has added a new ‘item store’ feature. Now, in addition to the player-driven community market, developers can run their own stores (where they set their own fixed prices). Rust is the first game to take advantage, and they’re undercutting some community prices. Hmmm. I’m interested to see how this shakes out.
Stream sniping is when someone watches your stream to get an upper hand—to essentially cheat—against you in a game. It sucks.
Steam survival hit Rust is adding women characters, and you won’t get to choose whether you’re a guy or a gal. Some players love the idea. Others, not so much.
First Rust messed with your skin. Then your dicks. Now you might not have a dick at all, even if you wanted one.
Faces and skin tones? Just the beginning. Now we’re getting to the real meat of the conversation. Beware: NSFW.
Many games let you choose your character's race, but not Rust. The chaotic survival game is doing its best impression of the gene pool—randomizing who's white, black, and everything else—and players have reacted in unexpected ways.
I miss the good old days of NBA Street and NFL Blitz, back before all the big sports video game franchises became obsessed with hyperrealism and little else. Back then, it didn't matter that I knew next to nothing about football or basketball.
A month back, news came out that Rust—the ultra-successful survival game from Garry's Mod creator Garry Newman—would be rebooting. Then, a few days ago, Newman's Facepunch dev team revealed a new game. That announcement was met by outrage from Rust players. Why work on something new when your successful but famously…
If you didn't like the way things were panning out in survival sim/trouserless apocalypse Rust, that's cool. The developers are chucking it in the bin and starting over.
This accurate real-world representation of the survival game Rust by Paddymazz points out that running around naked with a hatchet or with a stone is only a good idea in a video game.
The last things that come to one's mind when playing Rust are its relaxing ecosystem and Mother Nature (well, unless you count all those naked characters). And while the game might not have a calm narrator, here's YouTuber Penal Cast, and a funny, Planet Earth-ish take on the otherwise intense sandbox game.
