It took about 3.5 years, but now it's actually coming out in less than two weeks. I'm really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

Marketing and distribution (physical copies)

Turok 2024

[–] theMacerena@lemmings.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Consider me intrigued.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ahh, a game dedicated to being a stealth archer, fuck yeah, I'm in.

[–] barnaclebutt@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I know right. He knew that was the best way to play Skyrim. This game looks bad ass.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I never used any ranged weapon in the game, did I miss out?

[–] CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

If you like being OP, definitely.

[–] Xanis@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

There were other ways to successfully play base Skyrim??

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Stealth and daggers backstab could also eliminate having to interact with the actual combat of the game, making for a better experience.

[–] Xanis@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, but...that sounds like effort. Much easier to slap a stabby bit on the end of a stick and only occasionally accidentally kill a random goat.

I played the demo for a few hours. Might be a solo dev, but his experience is definitely noticeable. Game looks great, albeit unoptimized. Progression is simple and fair. Artwork is incredible for a solo dev. Combat is decent, and unexpectedly satisfying.

Someone else mentioned the excessive blood explosion - it’s the best feeling when you land one of those shots from across a field.

GPU: 4 GB VRAM GeForce GTX 980/Radeon RX 580

Dammit, my iGPU has more than enough computing power but only half of the VRAM.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 32 points 1 day ago (3 children)

iGPU's can use system RAM to supplement VRAM. Might still be doable

There is a demo, so you can see if it will run well enough for you before you buy it.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

a demo in this day? dev knows what's up

[–] christopher@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Remember getting demo discs in magazines? Great times

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

as a poor kid living in the sticks demo discs were the only way I could play many games.

if it weren't for them, I would have never gotten into games, nor computers, nor my career that has elevated my QOL.

could say demo discs saved my life from many hardships.

Looks interesting, but the music should hit WAY harder, IMO. Based on the visuals, I was expecting early 2000s Opeth, and I got late 2010s Opeth instead.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (15 children)

The music is all written by a member of ISIS, which is pretty heavy, but in an "atmospheric sludge/post-metal" way. So I can see how you'd think that if you're looking for something more death metal (which would fit in the fight scenes, although atmospheric sludge or funeral doom would go pretty well in the rest of the game)

[–] Benjaben@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Oh snap thanks for pointing this out! Been a long time and I haven't kept up with ISIS, but their Panopticon was damn near genre-defining for me at the time.

[–] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Not really all that related, but if you like Panopticon by ISIS, you might also appreciate the best Appalachian atmospheric black metal I've ever heard, Kentucky by Panopticon.

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Now find more metal by a band Kentucky
