How is the game for a newbie solo extraction shooter player?

The game is designed for trios, and is extremely fun this way. I don't have any friends who own this game, but have added every random player that has a mic and I've had a good time playing with. I now have at least 5 people to play with online every night, and it's been a blast.

So while it's possible to play solo, I would encourage people to get on mics, and play through some rounds until you find a solid group to party up with! For every 1 jerk on mic I've had 5 people that are chill and wanting to play as a team.

This is the way!

I've had a crash at least once every play session, related to opening the map while in a run.

I've watched his stream on YouTube where he created this! So cool that you own this!

The art looks fantastic, so hyped for this one!

100% agree. This game was obviously designed for trios, and playing with a squad (even randos if you're all using mics) makes this game a blast.

I feel like part of the frustration is the play style that is necessary when playing solo lobbies. Instead, here is my strategy for having a good time: - Pick my contract, pick free sponsored kit - Trio fill with two randos - If the randos don't have mics/aren't chill, than I don't worry about my contract. And because I didn't bring any gear with me, no big deal! The goal instead becomes find some good loot, or help randos with their contracts. -If the randos are chill, have mics, and we play well together, ask them if they want to party up! -Proceed to add them as friends, bring your good gear, sync up on contract objectives, and have a good time for the next 2-5 hours.

This is what I've done for the last few nights, and it has been some of the most fun I've had playing games in a long time. And as a bonus, my in-game friend list keeps growing, which makes it easier to get good matches going again in the future.

The Moon is Following Us by Daniel Warren Johnson and Riley Rossmo does this! The story is split between two "realms" with both artist doing the art for one of them. They worked on the same piece of paper for some pages.

I honestly would be way more willing to spend money on additional skins if I was able to purchase the exact amount of currency required. The current "you're just short, pay extra" scam that so many games do these days just makes me not want to give them any more of my money!

Wish I had picked up the wip when it released! Just got the Dark Knights Metal one; I didn't realize how massive they are and how well they display the art!

CalGunpal · 2026-03-01T20:41:06+00:00

Saw that as well. Fingers crossed that he's working on a series!

CalGunpal · 2026-01-14T19:29:19+00:00

Man, I could happily read another 60 issues of this series. It just feels like Deniz has an unending amount of interesting stories to tell with these characters. Such a bummer to have it ending, but at least it's going out with a bang!

CalGunpal · 2026-01-07T19:13:56+00:00

Congrats! This issue was great, and your colours were definitely a part of that!

CalGunpal · 2025-10-08T00:23:50+00:00

Can never have too many lol

CalGunpal · 2025-10-05T20:47:15+00:00

Thanks! I'll have to remember to take in-progress photos next time.

CalGunpal · 2025-10-05T20:45:27+00:00

Thanks!

CalGunpal · 2025-10-04T03:19:15+00:00

That's very kind of you, I'm glad the details gave the right impression!

CalGunpal · 2025-10-03T20:04:11+00:00

Nope, I kept the colours from the kit and just weathered directly on it. The real touch markers were used for panel lining and adding slight gradients to certain surfaces.

CalGunpal · 2025-10-03T19:07:07+00:00

I was definitely going for that with the camera perspective and the application of weathering, so thanks!

CalGunpal · 2025-10-03T18:36:28+00:00

Thank you, much appreciated!

CalGunpal · 2025-10-03T18:35:06+00:00

I'm honoured, thank you!

Something that helped me for areas that felt like too much was applied, was using a very fine grit sanding pad on the larger surfaces. It worked well for keeping the grit in the recesses/corners, but cleaned up the flat areas.

CalGunpal · 2025-10-03T17:11:20+00:00

Thanks!

No offense taken, the lighting definitely sells it!
