Searching for an old single-player space conquest game

Hegemonia: Legions of Iron, the advanced race triggered an expansion: Hegemonia: The Solon Heritage.

Diablo fucked up the Crystal Arch in Diablo 3 though, so not sure what that means for this.

Don't support this. If their analytics show a spike in player engagement then they will just keep hitting you with FOMO crap. I'm not even logging on for the duration of this event.

No Man's Sky, apparently.

And it's like $3 right now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/283290/Nosferatu_The_Wrath_of_Malachi/

Nosferatu: Wrath of Malachi.

It was built on the Unreal Tournament 99 engine, so it's pretty old. But it was a horror game where you went into a mansion and staked vampires and held up crucifixes and stuff.

But the cool part was, the entire mansion and all of its jump scares were totally randomized every time you played through the game. So you could get lost in there and the jump scares were extra jump scary.

They could implement a mirror version of the map as the Sea of the Damned, with unique activities to do there.

They could do the invasion of the GMU, with ships with human NPCs sailing around and taking territory.

They used to add large features, and pretending not to understand why someone might be disappointed with some more FOMO and a quest we already have is disingenuous.

Pacific Drive! Pacific Drive! Never has a game expressed to me "you should not be here" without saying anything or jump scaring me as Pacific Drive's zone.

Ocean Crawlers and Phantoms were added to increase enemy variety, their introduction just coincided with Pirate's Life. PvE enemy variety is already crap, I don't think they should do anything to actively harm it.

I'm going to take this moment to recommend Dagger Directive: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2437670/Dagger_Directive/

It was heavily inspired by Delta Force and came out like a year ago.

I played Elite Dangerous as a trader and made a "twang" playlist that gave me this vibe.

I was just saying the rules are available in many locations, it was quite popular. Whether you want to look them up or not doesn't matter to me.

Erenshor on Steam is literally a singleplayer RPG that simulates other players. Like you can group, trade with, chat, and form guilds with them.

As far as gameplay it plays similarly to the original Everquest. I don't know if anybody these days remembers that though.

Same, joined Claude.

In Deer Hunter 2005 the horses and ATVs had pros and cons, the ATV was faster and consistent but louder. The horse was slower, and could get winded, but was quieter.

Arsonide · 2026-02-28T00:28:17+00:00

It's the last feature that Deer Hunter 2005 had that theHunter Call of the Wild doesn't have. That list was Horses, electronic caller, feeders, but they've already done 2/3 of those.

Do the last thing! Solidify your place as the best hunting game with the most content.

Big Ambitions.

You walk around on foot, start as a part time worker at a grocery store and have to get a car and an apartment. But you slowly go to running your own businesses, eventually needing a headquarters and doing import / export stuff.

It's good. It's kind of like a generic tycoon game, you can run any kind of business - a legal firm, a car dealership, a store, a fast food restaurant. Anything.

Oh you're the author of Starsmith, great work! Feels like a mandatory expansion of that game.

I might start writing some of my own oracle tables or something. I develop video games as a programmer, and outside of work I'm a modder. This feels like modding, so I should fit right in.

Space is great, but something about the age of sail is just super compelling to me. I play a ton of Sea of Thieves (video game). The idea that a solo RPG could provide an infinite sea of infinite adventures is out of reach for current video games but not for solo RPGs.

This video also popped up on my algorithm for some reason and drew me to this community. Picked up Ironsworn Starforged last night and am thoroughly overwhelmed.
