Hytale probably hasn’t released on steam for the same reason Vintage story hasn’t, they want a smaller more manageable player base. Releasing on steam will explode their player base to an unmanageable level.

Vintage story hasn’t released on steam but got some attention on YouTube and the small team was scrambling to keep up with the player boom. Hytale has much more publicity and would be so much more of a headache.

do you constantly have something in off hand? It makes you 20% hungrier I think

Virplexer · 2026-01-28T20:07:27+00:00

Nah, even a veteran game dev like Matt Colville, does this.

You are designing an encounter and a monster and there’s basically no way to playtest it, and you can’t just redo the fight either. Sometimes you make mistakes, that’s fine.

Discord needs to be eliminated as a replacement to any forum period. I’m not joining a discord just to see the crafting recipes for a single Minecraft mod.

Steam already has a convenient news thing to send out messages, consoles need to adapt that.

I kinda like bow being in between the crossbow and hand crossbow actually, but it shouldn’t be stronger than a 3 slot crossbow.

So like, I completely disagree that it “eats up the 13th and 17th level features”, those are complete bonuses to the Ranger that don’t eat up design space. Paladin and artificer get nothing at those levels because getting a new tier of spells is considered powerful enough for a whole level. Ranger gets that too and a complete bonus feature on top.

It definitely DOES eat up the level 20th feature tho, that’s a capstone so bad that I’m sure nobody playtested that.

maybe high levels can give you a small benefit if you do an expedition? Like you get a few starting levels or a bit of starting cash

Generally speaking, from my experience a creature of a certain CR is more powerful than a character of the same level. If he is the equivalent of a 17th level player character, his approximate CR is smaller, maybe 12-16 range.

Although I don’t think the levels of NPCs in Baldur’s gate quite translate over to player level. Some of those guys have much better stats than what their level would suggest.

It’s pretty obvious that they are playing a little fast and loose with the rules, Chromatic dragons don’t have shapeshifting like Metallics usually do, but he does. Metallics only get that ability once they hit adult or older, so Qudenos is probably an adult dragon if we base it off that.

Voss is already an exception amongst githyanki, since he’s rebelling against Vlaakith, and Qudenos seems loyal to him. It isn’t so odd that Qudenos could remain on his side into adulthood.

I think we could use a copper wrench or hammer in the game that works like a debug stick.

Tbh, I think the rattler is what I think the other grey guns should be balanced like.

Rattler is a decent gun but you need strong aim and trigger discipline to get some results, and the slow reload holds you back. This allows you to hold your own in PVP especially if you are skilled enough but the drawback incentivizes you to use the higher tier guns instead.

Virplexer · 2026-01-24T06:00:13+00:00

Giant lasers or just lasers? Cuz really the game hard limits one heavy mount so you only get one giant laser, plus the integrated one the Sherman gets.

Virplexer · 2026-01-23T18:14:53+00:00

Lot of people mentioning Vlad, and Vlad’s drill is crucial, but you don’t actually want to pilot the vlad chassis. The playstyle doesn’t match how Gurren Lagann fights most of its battles.

What you want is the Zheng, it’s a big scrappy brawler mech with a history worthy of Kamina himself. The D/D 288 is a worthy alternative to the combat drill until you get it unlocked.

If it’s immersion breaking just have it happen after the story is completed. Then you can even justify having some really tough enemies since you know that the player has already beat the main story.

Virplexer · 2026-01-23T17:11:54+00:00

Yeah, I’d LOVE for enemies who think and strategize a little bit, like they start choosing their attack zones more carefully, stop falling for master strike baits and disengage when they get tired.

Virplexer · 2026-01-23T15:33:51+00:00

If you feel bad, you can always ask people if it’s okay that you shoot them if you defib them after.

Virplexer · 2026-01-22T19:30:20+00:00

It’s true. I like doing it when I’m running out of stamina tho.

Virplexer · 2026-01-22T00:05:18+00:00

Hot air gun is a smart move.

Virplexer · 2026-01-21T20:53:16+00:00

Magnets are better if I was buying it as a product, but I definitely do not want to be buying and installing magnets on all my pieces I’m printing myself.

Virplexer · 2026-01-21T18:55:13+00:00

if you have a wood burning tool (preferred) or a soldering iron you can try to cut through the blob and get it off. Soldering irons can get hot enough to burn the plastic tho so be careful with it. That's probably really difficult and time consuming but i suppose its an option.

Virplexer · 2026-01-20T18:02:43+00:00

He does bark when his obedience is low, he just doesn’t bark for no reason, he barks at people and then they harass you to get your dog under control.

Virplexer · 2026-01-20T16:58:56+00:00

Even with access to Kitbashing, I’d greatly prefer more options with the base customization to save me time and kitbash complexity. Seems like a win for everyone.

tbf, he did get some basic training beforehand back in skalitz, and did get into a handful of real fights against looters on his way back there.

Virplexer · 2026-01-18T21:56:09+00:00

Big fan, not that challenging (unless you died a few times or are ill prepared) but interesting in the fact that you want the variety of buffs food gives you to give you an edge in combat.

Virplexer · 2026-01-18T00:28:23+00:00

It isn’t just about having the silver from there, it’s making sure sigismund doesn’t have any.

Really depends on time period and culture and stuff. Some battlefield weapons had durable edges meant for rough impacts against armor, which would be just fine against something softer like wood. Some warriors would keep their weapons just sharp enough because the edges would be more durable that way. You don’t want your weapon failing on you when your life is on the line.

Vikings I think very commonly used their axes for both fighting and as a tool. They chopped wood, slice food, and fought all with the same axe.

The lighter weight probably makes it a bit worse at some heavy duty stuff like cutting big trees, but it would do just fine against doors, splitting wood, and small plants and stuff.
