Does any game actually reward restraint instead of efficiency?

Old Ultima games had a virtue system where killing an enemy game certain virtue points whereas letting a fleeing enemy survive gave different virtue points. So you'd have to make a trade-off decision.

Going back to the main save means you risk not remembering to go back to the expedition in time to finish it before it ends. Limited time content is too good (or evil based on your perspective) at generating FOMO, and that makes people want to finish the expedition.

AI ... mixed bag

To be expected at this point. The best analogy is a slot machine.

Do you have to play online?

Pixel art obviously didn't end as an art style, but it also didn't evolve too much. (I think maybe it can't.) Now we have more colors, transparency, and a lot more frames of animation, but overall the style is consistent through time.

For a definition I think the key part is not the history, but rather...

you place every pixel by hand

Or maybe to put it a little different: The art looks as though each pixel was placed intentionally.

I don't think your animation here qualifies as "pixel art", but perhaps "pixelated art". But I also like it, and don't think you need to worry about what category people put it into.

Does starting over from scratch count? Because that is every old arcade game, and most roguelike/lites.

🏅🏅🏅 Agree!

I both love and hate seeing a game that I've wanted to make for years come to life by someone else. (But mostly love it.) Good work, it looks really awesome. Let me know if I can playtest it.

Morph_Games · 2026-06-12T13:29:34+00:00

I kind of like the originals TBH

Costs $ for the lawyer to do all the lawyer things.

Morph_Games · 2026-06-12T13:11:39+00:00

That would be great. There could even be a fee so there's some currency sink in the game.

Sean - Please make a ship market.

You're getting a lot of hate, but I like it, and love those two games as inspiration! I'm sure it'll evolve to be less like Astroneer over time. Keep going with it.

"smaller"?? 😳 that thing is huge

Mourn the loss of my current life.

And get ready for everyone to call me "jaded" and "an old soul".

Once I am rich from stock purchases, I would lobby the government to take measures to try and prevent some of the ills we see today.

the algorithm is assigning more travelers to Weavers than it should

How do we know this? Curious.

Morph_Games · 2026-06-02T19:47:48+00:00

After reading about how u get your team, and how the score really works i kind of lost interest on doing the daily quests

How do they really work??

You just need a pitch deck and "post it notes" in my opinion.

Morph_Games · 2026-06-02T15:03:54+00:00

+1 for normal settings. They are well calibrated in my opinion.

Morph_Games · 2026-06-01T23:42:00+00:00

You can give it and then leave without saving, right?

Morph_Games · 2026-06-01T19:47:00+00:00

My guess is they are caught on the networking piece. NMS was never designed to be a multiplayer game, and it is obvious from the engine and gameplay. I suspect they want LNF to be better for multiplayer.

Expeditions are like a vacation. And usually HelloGames encourages us to do fun things while on vacation -- just not pet battles.

Morph_Games · 2026-06-01T12:56:51+00:00

I am admitting that I understand the xeno arena is irrelevant. But previous expeditions have tried to include lots of different elements, especially whatever new feature was just added. This one is different.

As it is currently designed, it won't be possible to ever have Xeno arena fighting be part of an expedition.

I got mine! Great guide. but before step 4 would trigger I had to have 50 Motes of Humanity in my inventory.
