Yeah, I thought it might appeal to some people here, especially considering the post I saw on it was entitled "Minecraft + Metroidvania?"

I haven't, but I think I'm about to bite. I can't help it. It looks too awesome.

EDIT - I bit, and it's awesome. I'll have a demonstrative video up shortly detailing the how and why of the awesome.

Steam is the only option, far as I know, otherwise I wouldn't have.

My little video thing got carried away (this game is exactly the same kind of time sink as Minecraft, except now you actually have a bunch of creative weapons and armor, 30 enemy types, and bosses to fight, so it's even worse), but hopefully I'll have that up before long. So I'll just say this for now: if you liked what you saw in the trailer, just buy the game. It's all that plus some.

Okay! Video is happening!

Looks pretty decent in HD, and includes insane world map at the end showing you just how huge the game can be. Just wanted to show the opening stages of the game, and you get to see my little town go up from virtually nothing to a thriving little community.

Dude, awesome video, really well done all around. I'm sold now. Gonna get this tomorrow.

Have you tried co-op (or can you have more? I dunno)?. I would love to play with some people here when I get it. You seem to know a bit about the interface and mechanics, so I'll have to tinker around a bit to figure everything out before we get going.

Tinkering is necessary. It's got a bit of the same Minecrafty wonkiness to it initially, takes a little time to figure out how to do everything. I haven't tried coop yet because I don't know anybody else with a working copy of the game, heh. I think shock said he picked it up, and idol is trying desperately, but apparently Steam doesn't want his business.

That sounds too familiar.  I so hate bleary-eyed mornings.

Nice job putting that together.  The game looks like quite an addictive time sink.

Really having fun with this game... feel like it's got something for everyone, and beginning to think that it doesn't have to be a pure time sink. In a smaller world with more resources you could move a lot faster, and once you know what you're doing, I think you can aim your endeavors in more marked fashion. Haven't enjoyed a game this much in a very long time.

Anyone up to play this weekend? I may be gone for a good chunk or even all of it, though not really sure yet. Either way... tonight would be a great night to play! I'll be playing all night regardless.

If I can get Nick to open ports for me on the network, I'd be happy to host, and I have an established world that would be a fun place for newbies to the game to get their feet wet, with lots of already-established tunnels and a town that has everybody except the Dryad and Arms Dealer NPCs.

I ended up getting this since I finished up LA Noire yesterday and I'm liking it a lot so far.  Trying to find some iron ore right now so I can make a chest so I can store stuff in my safehouse.

Sorry I missed it, Sy. I had hoped to play but just couldn't get back home in time.

Once I get stuff set up at my new place, I'll put up a dedicated server for everybody.

Another game's up. If you folks want to run around feel free. I might or might not join you tonight. Depends on how the work goes.

Looks like there's a new patch up that allows for higher resolutions and for the host to actually be in the game without starting a new instance. Good stuff, although at my max resolution things might be a little too small, so I just went lower. At least I can use proper aspect ratios and the full screen now.

Dunno if they added some kind of license check or if the netcode changed too much but every time I tried to join your server it would download the blocks and as soon as it brought me into the game I would immediately lose connection.

It's great that they added the ability to change the window size, but unfortunately they don't allow you to change the res unless fullscreen, which means you have to play with super duper tiny sprites in windowed mode now. But then you can see like this huge portion of the world you couldn't before... so I dunno' if I like it or not. Once I start paying I tend to forget about it either way.

Yeah, deep is the word. I just played for 3 hours and I've hardly done anything. Built a little house for myself, explored a bit, and built another house hoping that a merchant would move in, but so far no luck. Which isn't surprising, because it's possibly the shittiest house that I have ever laid eyes on.

Why can't you play?

So I built a new world with my guy, carried my items over. I didn't really have much, only played a few hours. I built a small world instead of a medium and I'm really glad that I did. I looked online about how to lure npc's (my buildings weren't to code apparently). I quickly got the merchant in town after building a few houses. I built myself a nice starting building out of stone and ventured down. Found tons of resources (even found some topaz and purple stuff, forget the name). I found this really awesome boomerang, called an enchanted boomerang. Only does 12 damage but its ranged and repeatable and it lights up everything. Completely awesome.

Aww snap.  That sounds awesome.  Hope I find one soon.  I've only found like one unique thing, and it lets me swim.  For weapons, I used all of the gold ore I found and made myself a gold bow.  I use that with the Flaming arrows.  It works great.  I can kill zombies in 3 hits and demon eyes in 4.   And the arrows are super cheap to make (wood and stone, then gel from a dead slime for the flaming part).

I'm still pretty low on ore for everything (copper, silver, gold, iron). It's taking a LONG time to find much.  I'm doing a small world, too.  I have huge, deep caves.  But they are all full of stone and dirt.

Oh, I spent about 2-3 hours yesterday fighting in the corruption (as I later figured out it is called).  It was awesome.  And terrifying.  It also goes on FOREVER.  I kept going into it, clearing a bunch (enemies spawn in waves, and they do it every 3 seconds or so), dying, then going back again.  I think my gear is still too crappy, though.

I did multiplayer with my brother last night.  It's really fun to pull someone into your world.  I showed him my hotel.  He was awestruck. :P
