Thrik

Some work has been underway on that, actually we had it enabled for a while last year but I had to disable it because mysteriously people in various regions couldn't access the site. We've also had other issues when I've tried to implement it since (content in posts not loading, asset problems, redirection loops). I need to do some further research and work into a successful migration because the forum software has various quirks that make implementing it less straightforward than one might expect. But it is on the 'roadmap'!

This forum is for sharing a finished version of your work with the community. That doesn't mean it has to be the last version of your work you ever do (ie: you can release a version 2 in this forum too), but it should be something you can describe as 'done'.


Examples of things you can post here:Finished/nearly-finished/beta levels (ie: something you're happy for people to put on servers)
High-detail models
Model packs
Photo galleries
Texture packs
Traditional/digital paintings


Things you shouldn't post here:Individual photos
Individual textures
Minor models (eg: miscellaneous level assets)
Sketches & draft paintings
Very incomplete levels

Don't forget we have a 3D and 2D forum that can be used for sharing anything that falls into the second list. The reason the above criteria is used is so the work release forum doesn't become too congested, ensuring authors' work isn't buried in a mass of random texture/model/help threads.

The hate it's getting on social media is mesmerizing... Some people just need to:

Looking at the animations of those bears I'm sure this guy works on the game.
 

I feel like this might be one of those games where the trailer is a more resonant experience than the game itself. From what I saw they've been showing it at artsy events and I must admit I really enjoyed watching it — mostly because of the thought-provoking visuals and impressiveness of scale. But I suspect that like the closest examples I can think of (Spore, Flower), it'll end up being a sweet sandbox toy that doesn't last for very long. But hey, if it's cheap then why not?
I thought that the animation was so funky as a way of limiting costs, seeing as this is a team of two developers (plus sound people) and obviously movement animation can be really time-consuming. But apparently it's riffing off of this weirdness:
 

Some fresh Thrik:

The sharp-eyed may spot that I've dropped about 46 pounds since early last year. It's getting harder now though, still about 24 left before I hit my target weight.  

According to CloudFlare MapCore is OK. In their words:
As a matter of caution it's probably wise to consider changing passwords if you use the same one on multiple websites — CloudFlare is used by a huge chunk of the internet so as far as internet screw-ups go this is a pretty big one.
If you really want to use the same password on different sites, I recommend 'salting' it with a character or few unique to that website's name/address. That way you're more protected from things like this.
While CloudFlare provides benefits my confidence in it is pretty damaged by this, so I'll be looking into migrating off of it. Thankfully MapCore doesn't use most of its features, which potentially contributes to us being unaffected.

This game is absolutely god damned spendid. I'm glad that I chose to take it slowly and savour it an hour or two at a time, which I've been doing since it came out. It feels more epic to me than just burning through it in a few days.
I've also been really enjoying taking my time going through the environments and capturing nice screenshots using the photo feature. Like in real life, it can be a really good way of appreciating what's there by thinking about what'd capture the essence of the scene best in pictorial form.
The action is just total crazy awesomeness too, but I love that this game has more quiet moments inbetween to break things up. It feels like the game has more exploration and puzzles than its predecessors. I also really like the pirate lore story, being a fan of all things pirates.  
Here are some of my 'photos'.
