    Well, I’ll be damned. I didn’t follow through with the preorder because Hypixel stated that they would make a Linux release at a later date.

      Why do people still pre-order games before release? It’s not like a physical object that will be sold out. Just wait until release and look if its good or bad.

        Fear of missing out, I guess. And yeah, I agree. I’m glad I held off on the game. I’m not doing any more pre-orders, that’s for sure.

        In case of indie games to give the developer funding.

          pre-order isn’t in development phase usually. Isn’t the Early Access the exact point of funding developers in development? Usually a game that is in pre-order is basically done.

          If we can’t play and test the game (like in Early Access), then I am still against pre-orders. Because just because its an indie developer does not mean players should fund a game they don’t know will be good or bad. Just my opinion.

    Yeah overly Grindy with a few too many workstations and upgrades for those workstations. Also can’t work out how to make a boat.

    It’s alright but after a few hours, you kind of question what are you supposed to be doing that is less boring than grinding hides

    Hopefully this game will come out on Steam too. The blocker seems to be that Steam does not support all modding capabilities of this game. I would be okay with that…

    I’m running it on CachyOS and while it usually runs super well I’m sometimes getting random freezes for 1-2 seconds. Have you encountered anything like that or is that a me thing?
