This is now out, and apparently selling well considering what it is (I saw it briefly at #2, and now it's about #5 in the Steam bestsellers, at least in my region).
Sapiens is out now!
https://steamcommunity.com/games/106023 ... 2022379654I briefly thought about giving it a try, but the screenshots are just so unappetizing. I don't feel like building anything that's on the menu. Rather I feel like playing
Rust, whenever I think about playing this. The programmer should have given us some cool stuff to build right off the bat, and even the terrain seems uninspired and doesn't make me want to explore it at all.
So I think I'll pass on the game at least until MP and multi-tribe combat go in. At that point, it might be worth checking it out. Also, it's reportedly very moddable, so perhaps he'll attract a group of modders to flesh things out for us. And since dedicated server support is coming, it's not out of the realm of possibility that we could set up a nice little war between us at some point, running on a heavily modded version of the game.
But all this is months down the line at the earliest; possibly years. Or the project could very well just crater and vanish. We'll just have to keep an eye on it.
Until then I MAY just jump in for an hour or two to check things out if I get THAT bored with my life at some point.
