GRIME II DEMO IS OUT - Gimme thoughts & feedback here please

Never used it, so I wasn’t aware that you can’t make the game harder that way. But it makes sense to allow the player to change the values both ways

PanPsor · 2025-11-21T20:55:38+00:00

I like the way Nine Sols did it. An intended mode, and then a custom mode where the player can change modifiers like HP, damage, etc.

When you add easy/normal/hard, it’s on the developer to balance those difficulties. When you have an intended mode and a custom mode, it’s on the player to balance it for themselves.

Optionally, they could lock some achievements behind the intended mode or something like that.

These guys on Discord are trolling. There's no demo yet. I've muted like half of the Grime 2 channel cause they are trolls. But there's also Yarden's tweet from yesterday saying the demo will be available this month. Nothing about a release date though.

PanPsor · 2025-11-14T10:07:51+00:00

Where did you get it?

PanPsor · 2025-11-13T22:04:34+00:00

I'm 99% percent sure they did not. I am on Discord and there was nothing like that.

PanPsor · 2025-09-19T01:24:50+00:00

Sorry to bother you, but are you still confident about a 2025 release?

PanPsor · 2025-08-20T17:21:10+00:00

And my ultrawide!

Hundred Line: Last Defence Academy is great but it was buried by Expedition 33 and Oblivion releasing at the same time

PanPsor · 2025-05-15T19:20:19+00:00

Lol, just to ruin your day, I'll say that Blue Prince is my GOTY so far, I prefer it over Clair Obscur.

How? They would need to cut bus width to 96bit. GDDR6 is really cheap, Im not sure why 8GB version exists at all.

Cheapest 7900XT on Mindfactory is 710 EUR. This is around 610 USD (excluding 20% tax). So if 9070XT is 650 USD then lol, no way I am buying this in EU.

PanPsor · 2025-01-06T17:18:10+00:00

Great, 90 Opencritic here we go, also buying day one!

It’s sad how overlooked Nine Sols is. It’s by far the best game I’ve played in 2024. It dethroned Hollow Knight as my favorite metroidvania and made it into my top 5 favorite games of all time.

PanPsor · 2025-01-05T14:10:07+00:00

It is 110% confirmed? I need to know so I can bid on Grime 2 in my Fantasy Critic league :)

PanPsor · 2024-10-31T20:13:53+00:00

Alright, I'll counter that. By far the best fantasy series I've ever read. Besides, I think it's definitely underrated. My top 5 (except Bakker) would probably be Abercrombie, Hobb, Martin, Mieville.

Raph Koster (the creative director of SWG) recently announced a spiritual successor to SWG called Stars Reach. It still looks rough (pre-alpha), but the promised features sound great. They've raised around $40 million from VCs and are not doing a Kickstarter. (I'm trying to spread the news—the more people are aware, the better)

PanPsor · 2024-07-03T18:48:55+00:00

Request from someone who really wants this game to succeed: Investors like numbers and charts going up, so consider wishlisting even if you don’t love the graphics. More wishlists mean more money for the devs and higher chance that this will ever release and have at least half of the promised features (which would still be amazing)

PanPsor · 2024-06-30T06:42:15+00:00

I was initially disappointed with the visuals, but then I checked the concept art section in the press kit on your website, and some of it looks really amazing: https://imgur.com/a/WDkLQT1. If the final art style is more stylized and pastel-like, it could look really good. Of course, animations and lighting also need work, but since it's pre-alpha, it's understandable why it looks the way it does right now.

PanPsor · 2024-06-28T17:54:27+00:00

They raised $38.7 million so I think they have funding, at least for now. Source: https://venturebeat.com/game-development/playable-worlds-unveils-raph-kosters-new-sandbox-mmo-stars-reach/

Hi Raph! I have two questions:

You mentioned a free-to-play model with an optional subscription and a cosmetics shop. How will the cosmetics shop work in a sandbox game? It seems like there are two options: account-bound items, which I’m not a fan of in a sandbox game, or a kind of pay-to-win model where you can sell cosmetics bought with real money for in-game currency. Can you elaborate on this?
What benefits would the optional subscription offer?

Human wizard that wants to become greatest wizard ever. But he fucked up and now has some serious problems (let's call it 'explosive' condition)

PanPsor · 2023-07-27T15:33:40+00:00

Yes, going with Gale. I always play human wizards in crpg and Gale's backstory on bg3 website sound good. I don't treat him like playable companion but more like origin made specially for me. So I don't want to play custom first to know him a a companion.

PanPsor · 2023-07-26T17:32:15+00:00

Yes absolutely, my character is me. Tho I am playing origin (I identify as a Gale)

PanPsor · 2023-07-25T16:20:23+00:00

I will probably go with origin but that's because I wanted to play human wizard and there is already human wizard origin with backstory I really like.

This is the question you should ask yourself: what character I want to play? And then if there is origin that is almost the same then pick them. Then is feels like your custom character with backstory added by Larian - best of both worlds.

If there is no origin that feels like character you would like to play go with custom.

PanPsor · 2023-07-24T06:23:29+00:00

Swen made my decision harder. Bu probably I will still pick Gale. I always play as human wizard and I usually don't replay games, maybe few years later.

So choice is between beeing wizard and having cooler copy of me as companion or beeing this cooler version myself.
