As a rimworld fan I can heavily recommend songs of syx.
That said, I stopped playing it cause I couldn’t keep track of time with it. It’s the kind of game where you play “just 5 more minutes”, and next thing you notice it’s 3am.
It’s also a beautiful labor of love by a single developer, as far as I know.
In other words, very recommended, but with a caveat.
- BSDobelix 3y ago>I couldn’t keep track of time with it Same, just 5 minutes to balance something out so i don't have to think about it tomorrow...2 hours later... It's also really nice that you can download a free "Demo" that is the full game, the demo is just a older version then the paid one, plus the soundtrack is just phenomenal.
- butz 3y agoSay what you want, but "Demo" is still the best way to market a game. If I can test if the game will run decently on my system before buying, and if there are no obvious bugs right from the start - you have made a sale.
- BSDobelix 3y agoAbsolutely, Dwarf Fortress and UnReal World are two other good examples. But let's not forget that this was "kind of" how Doom, Wolfenstein and Commander Keen (Shareware with limited levels) etc was marketed.
- cube2222 3y agoYou can effectively do that with any game on steam, as you can return any game if you both 1. played it under 2 hours 2. bought it in the last 14 days.
- BSDobelix 3y agoYeah but that's a game you definitely want to test much much more then 2 hours....like every city-builder.
- hombre_fatal 3y agoI think that’s called playing the game.
- remram 3y agoYou can only do this once, which is a problem for a game under development.
- trollied 3y ago> songs of syx. Oh no, I hadn't heard of this. Just purchased it. Given the amount of time I've spent playing Factorio, this could well make the rest of the year disappear!
- Kiro 3y agoYour quote makes me think you missed that this submission is about Songs of Syx.
- roblh 3y agoIt’s really cool to see this pop up again. I did some of the sound design (not the music, which is done by an incredible multi instrumentalist who specializes in nyckelharpa) for it a couple years ago. The dev behind it is brilliant and made the whole engine from scratch. It has great support for modding too.
