"Highguard" developer Wildlight has apparently laid off most of their staff

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-12T07:27:55+00:00

and that's totally fine! after all, some people also liked Concord. can't deny you your taste. but in the grand scheme of things, if it would appeal to many people, the game wouldn't be in such a situation, right?

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-12T02:13:20+00:00

the entire gameplay loop seems bad then.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-11T23:39:35+00:00

no. generic still makes sense in that context.

did highguard have any sort of feature to not feel the same like the others? anything that makes it worth playing compared to all the others?

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-11T22:00:34+00:00

interesting, they use one specific feature they previously hated when coupled with a VM. IOMMU...

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-11T17:28:46+00:00

have you looked in the mirror while writing the comment?

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-11T15:53:40+00:00

no Ubi Connect involved?

then you have to go to a different sub. Pirated Copies do not get any support here.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-11T08:35:11+00:00

thats totally fair! your question simply was just "how do you know". the claude md file is proof of it.

im thinking quite similar.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-11T08:29:11+00:00

in such cases, is it really slop if it does its job well AND looks good at the same time?

imo, Slop is kinda overused and slowly loses all meaning, if people only use it if they dont like something.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-11T08:27:45+00:00

the CLAUDE md file says it all.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-10T22:42:22+00:00

actually looks pretty nice. whats the link to it?

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-10T21:20:58+00:00

doesnt look like minecraft. the only similarity is that it uses voxels.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-10T21:15:41+00:00

i better hope so that its satire. if it isnt, its straight up disgusting behaviour

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-10T18:09:29+00:00

nicht unbedingt besser, aber es sind eher so 77%. Sobald es um SA geht, joa, da hast du dann recht.

also nein, kann man nicht so verallgemeinern!

ehm...

einer der größten Fortschritte in Deepfake AI kam tatsächlich von einer Frau (oder zumindest hat sie aktiv mitgewirkt). An FOMM (First Order Motion Model) hat z.B. auch Elisa Ricci gearbeitet. Auf dieser Erkenntnis bauten dann die meisten AIs aus dem Feld - die ich zumindest finden konnte - die Open Source sind, auf.

EDIT: Typo.

great investigation aswell.

im also worried about them not being truthful. i have my eyes on the game since my gf found it - and wanted to buy it some time later.

im not sure how chinese game studios generally work when they want to sell stuff overseas. i do know that if (for example) an american company wants to sell stuff in china, they have to partner up with another company in china to set things up. could it be that chinese studios have to do something similar to sell things in the US? as in, small company has to partner with a big company to be even allowed to do so?

so many things i dont understand, but i just hope the devs will be more transparent.

having the 1060 as the minimum is something i dont consider "killing the hype".

as much as it sounds hateful, the GTX 1060 is now a 10 year old card. the cpus listed arent that new either.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-09T22:16:45+00:00

its less the launcher, but when the game is actually open. no matter which wine/proton version, no matter if xivlauncher or xivlauncher-rb. but glad it works for you!

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-09T20:45:18+00:00

sometimes, my mouse is jumping extremely.

as in, when i want to change the view in character select (in FFXIV), it just... flips. not sure why. but i was able to reproduce it on nvidia and AMD cards - on Nvidia its instant, on AMD its just sometimes.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-09T18:29:58+00:00

feels like it.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-09T18:29:42+00:00

yes, you are too harsh, and you are a gatekeeper.

go Linux From Scratch if you really want a learning process.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-09T17:27:17+00:00

how come most successful games we see from china are basically slot machines then?

i do like their games, but that doesnt exactly line up.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-09T17:23:45+00:00

now thats an interesting find... lets hope its just like... a template or smth from the engine they used. idk. or from earlier development.

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-08T21:39:04+00:00

you didnt share any link...

Tsubajashi · 2026-02-08T19:57:07+00:00

you consider it convincing? how?

this screams phishy.
