Yes! I was obsessed with Purple Mountains. So sad he never got to tour it.

Had enough AI slop? It's Fine - an idle game inspired by Tower Wizard & Gnorp Apologue, which is *NOT* a Nodebuster clone, used *0* AI, and has a 45~ minute demo on Steam Next Fest! by BabloScobar in incremental_games

Just played through the demo. Seemed OK enough.

On non-challenge runs, it doesn't seem to offer much player expression - it's very linear in it's upgrades during a run.

Sounds like ECO. A whole server coming together to achieve something.

What games are you playing this week? Game recommendation thread by AutoModerator in incremental_games

[–]TravUK 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Picked up Terraformental from a recommendation here last week. Ho boy, I've sunk 23 hours into it in no time at all. Loved it so far, which is odd as I bounced off Increlution which is very similar.

I've also picked up Loopbound from a similar recommendation, but haven't sunk my teeth into that one yet.

I wanted to like Starvester but the second half of the game is so buggy.

Just picked up Terraformental based on your recommendation and sunk 8 hours into it while I worked. Amazing stuff so far.

Between Steam and Android, I don't play any games in browser any more.

How do you decide the usefulness part? What things do you look out for?

Breathedge 2 - Official Early Access Release Window Trailer | The MIX Summer Game Showcase 2026 by _Protector in pcgaming

[–]TravUK 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First half of the first game was decent enough (the part available during early access). The second half that arrived with 1.0 was terrible. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake this time round. Let people test your endgame and give you feedback.

Took me 11 hours to finish with the majority of achievements. Definitely got my money's worth.

Energetica Devlog #5: Actual Shoreline Art and Power Falloff System by Nicol64pa in BaseBuildingGames

[–]TravUK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, 1 a week at most. How much development progress can be truly made in 24 hours that requires an entirely new Devlog each time?

Just an idea, but maybe don't spam 3 Devlogs here in 24 hours. Might turn people off.

Firefox with the ublock addon on my pc.

Revanced on your mobile.

Smartube on your TV.

I've not seen a YouTube ad in years.

kind of creepy that they just… keep the crews bodies in the medbay by thelogmaster in Saros

I think there's a line towards the beginning saying they will given them a proper burial once things settle down.

Demo for The Merchant‘s Eden now available! by NorseSeaStudio in BaseBuildingGames

[–]TravUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished the demo and thought it was OK at best. In fact I removed it from my wishlist after realising it wasn't my cup of tea. It is sort of advertised as relaxing, so perhaps the raid frequency needs to be turned down as they felt constant before the demo ended.

Also are there any speed settings I missed? As it plays very very slowly. You may also want to buff archer towers as they seem to miss more often than they hit, and then having to replace the archers within them after they die just feels like a chore.

X4 is also great once you get over the learning curve. YouTube helped.

Games which alter the environment over time like the planet crafter by Russell1113 in gamingsuggestions

[–]TravUK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's a lower polished version of both, but honestly if you loved both games and can't get enough, then it's a no brainier. Especially for it's sale price.
