Did it. Shouldn't have. After a $4000 cc bill for medical last month, ironically it puts on the "do/get something you want" mode. The extra 5% put me over the top. $51.27 for all the DLC. Not sure how smart the decision was but now I have something "new" to play. If I broke in to several purchases I think I could have receive several free "overwhelmingly positive" games. I ended up with Everhood whatever that is.
Now I guess it's time to reinstall.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
An UNCONVENTIONAL ADVENTURE RPG that takes place in an inexpressible world filled with amusing musical battles and strange delightful encounters. To put it simply: You are in for a ride.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Growing a colony of either vampires or furries should brighten your day. Or go crazy and do both!

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
Thanks, everyone.
Yeah, this was one of my seriously long games (heavily modded, as well).
The big eye at the top is the Throne Room (thrones are gold, on the top side)
The Yin Yang room is a Ball Room.
This wasn't even the end of the game, I just failed to keep taking pictures.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
The developer has posted new teaser art, which generally precedes a DLC by a few weeks. Expect a name to get dropped in the next few days.
Looks very eldritch horror themed.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
Wow. New DLC is great!
I was under the impression that Rimworld had been declared finished or something.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
This game just keeps on kicking ass. I don't think I'll ever grow tired of going back and playing more and more of it.
It's the ultimate "ant farm". Soooo many ways to play too.
Sounds like it will be about Void Gods
Also, apparently the DLC was already on Steam, but hidden:
And it's on Steam now - Wishlish-able.
"Anomaly"

"Anomaly"
Darkness stirs on the rim. Survive flesh infestations, cultist attacks, shambling undead, blood rains, invisible hunters, and other sanity-shredding perils. Capture and study entities to harness the power of the void. Conduct psychic rituals and awaken an evil machine god.
RimWorld - Anomaly is a horror-themed expansion inspired by classics like Cabin in the Woods, The Thing, The Cthulhu mythos, Hellraiser, and many more.
Warning - spoilers below.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
The 1.5 updates to the base game are currently available (on the beta "unstable" branch) and are very stable. Clearly they're using this time for game balance purposes.
I'll be buying the DLC (4756.4 hours of gametime... and counting), but I'm of a mixed opinion. I'm not much for horror elements in my fiction, and this mostly looks like "side" scenarios rather than expansion of the standard game. I'm very open to being wrong, but my initial response is fairly lukewarm.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
In other news, Norland seems to be set for release next month. I mentioned it on the last page, and it looks like a Rimworld copy, but set in medieval times.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
I'm more or less with you on the overall excitement for the DLC content. Some will be sorta fun to play around with a little (a corpse-twin of one of your pawns that shows up, for instance), but I'm sure a lot of it will be something I don't play with much. A lot of the 1.5 changes are also things that have just been absorbed from a number of very popular mods (no shame in that at all, but I've played with those mods enough now that I've come to expect them in the game anyhow).The Meal wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 9:41 pm The 1.5 updates to the base game are currently available (on the beta "unstable" branch) and are very stable.

One thing new to me that I'm looking forward to is the downed pawns dragging themselves to safety if they can, leaving a trail of blood.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
I did some of the early play and Norland really seems to lack the open world story telling of RW for DF even if it uses a lot of RW skeleton elements.Carpet_pissr wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 9:59 pm In other news, Norland seems to be set for release next month.

Re: RimWorld (New DF-like)
Alrighty then... Time to saddle back up.
(Anomaly DLC: $25, so I'm sure that will hold a lot of people off.)

RW has been so good for so long, I’ll gladly pay full price and still consider it a value.

I'm pretty certain it's the least amount of money I've paid per hour of enjoyment, in any monetary transactional sense.
But that's me
