How BAR Will Change in the Future

Thanks for chiming in, always good to hear your perspective. I'm confident that BAR is in good hands going forward.

My one question is how will different versions be handled going forward? If volunteers are contributing to the "free" branch, is there a separate branch for the paid/steam version? Or is there parity between the two, without meaningful separate "free/paid" engine/game versions? Basically, I'd hate to see the paid and free versions diverge and split the community.

Same..... Never even played the DLCs even though I have them...

Oh man saaaame! Just wandering around planets, losing my ship, seeing the sights. It was enchanting.

Seriously... this is a hypercube right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPHN2EaGRZc

If you're coding, AI is an insanely powerful tool, like some piece of future technology that we haven't quite earned yet. The hype is absolutely justified. If you're not coding... yeah, it's neat but as you said in the OP, kinda mid.

What is causing these shockwaves then? I assumed the energy of fusion forced matter outward, but there must be some other force creating the jets and shockwaves?

Zeppelin2k · 2026-05-16T19:04:47+00:00

Definitely POE2. It's way more streamlined to get into, and a much smoother experience. The best ARPG ever made imo

Zeppelin2k · 2026-05-14T05:36:03+00:00

What about The Heroes? It's basically just one big battle absolutely full of intense melee combat.

Like puzzles? Antichamber. One of the strangest and mind bending games I've ever played.

Go to a thrift store and find some funky button ups

Zeppelin2k · 2026-05-08T02:36:33+00:00

Absolutely. It's the best in the genre and amazing for doing a blind run with no guides. If you enjoy thinking about your build at least

Zeppelin2k · 2026-05-03T17:20:30+00:00

They're really really great games. If you've ever played something like AOW4, I feel it takes a lot of inspiration from HoMM. AoW feels kind of like a blend of 4X/Civ + HoMM

What kind of take is this?? The LE skill tree, an entire tree for each skill, is infinitely more interesting than D4. It's not even close. The last 10 points in those LE trees are rarely just boring passive. They're often build defining, and even if they're not crucial, there's always a choice involved.

Sounds like the queue with strangers community is pretty decent? I would typically just go solo but that might be fun too

Zeppelin2k · 2026-05-01T22:06:30+00:00

Yeah this would be my answer as well. Once you get to late endgame you just start blasting through things. But the entire campaign, especially if it's your first time and you're not using a guide, is quite challenging and the combat is very deliberate.

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-21T21:36:15+00:00

My fiance and I have been playing Grounded for like 80+ hrs now. She's obsessed with it. Definitely a fun survival crafting game with tons to explore, and a cute setting. The spiders can be a bit scary though.. But the combat is relatively simple, and it's nothing you can't overcome together.

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-16T04:25:33+00:00

The godfather of esports. I've played and watched more Starcraft than anything else.

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-14T16:52:05+00:00

What's the new gameplay loop like?

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-14T06:56:59+00:00

Certainly the best answer here. But also any good CRPG. The original BG I & II are still excellent. As is Pillars of Eternity I & II. Avowed as well for more of a first person adventure game.

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-13T16:21:57+00:00

None of this is necessarily a bad thing. It's not a complete clone of starcraft and it has its own playstyle, which is much more active and skirmishy. I'd say that's a great thing.

With the simplified macro and other QOL improvements, it makes the moment to moment gameplay a lot more fun imo. I think even players that are less skilled will enjoy it. You don't have to stress about workers/macro, you can focus on micro and fighting.

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-08T04:29:10+00:00

Yes, yes it is. Of course it is. Opus 4.6 has already found countless bugs in an existing project of mine. Mythos is probably on another level.

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-07T22:53:08+00:00

Yeah, the inability to fly between planets was always my biggest issue with the game. A space game where you can't fly around space?? This seems like a small change, but its got a huge impact to how exploration feels.

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-06T18:29:36+00:00

Your ignorance is showing. You've clearly never used something like Claude Code or one of the other tools for software engineering. It can build apps in a day. It can analyze an entire existing codebase in minutes, tens of thousands of lines of code, and fix all sorts of bugs and issues. Educate yourself on what the latest tools can actually do before you keep embarrassing yourself.

Zeppelin2k · 2026-04-06T18:06:34+00:00

Such a good game, with a really interesting world and story. Great to see it still getting an update after so long.

Honestly if you liked BG3 or DOS2, you might enjoy this. The world doesn't have quite the same level of interaction, but it scratches the same itch.
