  • In all seriousness this was the only thing I could think of myself and then I had a moment of thought about a dwarf (irl not rpg) having a stalker. It is something that never crossed my mind. Not to say they couldn’t or anything but I could just feel the realization hit.

    Anyway, cheers for the actual definition before the brain rot set in too hard.





  • The long dark is one of my favorite games of all time and I have to say, I don’t know how you can say just the cover photo looks similar. Here are some very similar things I noticed:

    1. You have a picture of an in game menu that looks exactly like TLD
    2. The way the flare and torches are handled is wildly similar, especially in your video where you are holding off wolves.
    3. That frozen body with snow all over it? It literally looks like it was copy pasted from TLD.
    4. You mention that there will be two modes, story and endless, very much like TLD too. I would wave that as a coincidence if everything else, including the name of the game, feel like a rip of TLD.

    I can’t just look at these things and think it is a coincidence, they are all so similar.

    I would have been more likely to wishlist and had less of a negative reaction if you:

    1. Didn’t act like there is nothing similar between the games and owned up to the fact you were inspired by such a masterpiece of a game.
    2. Actually was bringing something new to the table here, most of your trailer is showing everything I know from TLD, if you have new proprietary systems and ideas, like cooking why aren’t you showcasing them? All I see is an animation for cooking.
    3. The game looks really rough at the moment, and I respect the ambition. However, when I seen 2024 as the release date and this is what there is on show, I can only assume the rest of the game lacks the same polish.

    I do wish you luck, but in my opinion as someone from your likely target audience I would not purchase your game.



  • I have always loved magic/mages/wizards/locks/witches/shamans in video games. When you have to make tons of alt accounts on MMOs or RPGs everytime i did another mage playthrough I started coming up with names for the memes. Some were okay, some were bad.

    When I went to do a hardcore playthrough of a game and was trying to think of a “sweaty” (sweaty being someone who puts in a lot of effort, for those unaware) pun, sweatyfireballs was born. I was so proud of if it, it became my new go to user name over my long running previous name that I came up with for my mage on vanilla wow. I peaked that day.
