Yeah this was an update from June. I’ve been using Rider 2024.2 when writing C# for my own personal Godot project(s) for the last month or so. I can say it’s been pretty smooth. All of the friction I encountered was mostly in setup. You have to point Rider at your Godot binary to ensure it can launch the editor, specific scenes, or a headless language server. This was slightly difficult at first because I was using the Godot flatpak, but I got it sorted out. Most features you’d expect (syntax highlighting, goto definition/invocation, automatic imports, etc.) are there and the IDE is capable of launching specific packed scenes or the editor itself if you need it. I can’t speak to how this plugin compares to other engine plugins (Unity), but I have yet to run into any issues.

was BF4 last PB game?

I think that was Battlefield Hardline, but I could be wrong.

Would this replace the existing PunkBuster?

Did this studio ever actually produce anything? Or did Netflix just have these highly-compensated C-suite guys on payroll for 2 years doing nothing?

Let’s go deeper. Liquids are pretty crazy, am I right?

I’m not so sure about all perpetual licenses being scams. I’ve personally used Jetbrain’s perpetual fallback license for the 2018 version of their IDEs for 4+ years until I decided to renew. I never once felt scammed there, so I would say there IS a right way to do perpetual licenses.

Cult of the Lamb - Got this for my birthday from my buddy and it’s been very solid. I see why the reviews hype this game up; it’s a weird rpg with base building elements and that’s right up my alley. I’ve been playing it on the steam deck with a conservative power profile and it’s been a lot of fun.

Tactics Ogre Reborn - I’m a FF Tactics fan and I was told this game would scratch the itch. So far I can say it’s at got a captivating story. It’s great that my choices matter in this game and that character development is based on those choices. The gameplay is familiar and fluid. The AI also seems to scale well with the difficulty setting. I’d say fans of FF Tactics should definitely pick this up.

“We have investigated ourselves and have found that we’ve done nothing wrong.” has been a line that’s come up quite a bit in the last few years specifically when a company or organization starts investigating itself. Let’s see how that plays out for Ubisoft.

I didn’t recognize most of these, but I’ve played a ton of Kingsway. It’s a very fun RPG where the Game itself is an Operating system and all the actions you’d normally take in casual desktop usage translate to game mechanics. I’ve had a lot of fun with it and it’s a real shame to see it on this list.

Here’s my top 8 in no particular order

• Golden Sun / The Lost Age
• Drill Dozer
• Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland
• Summon Night Swordcraft Story 1/2
• Mega Man Battle Network 3, 5, and 6 (either flavor of each is good)
• Mother 3
• Astro Boy Omega Factor
• Sonic Battle

The ReadMe states these are all courses taught at reputable universities. Do you know of any courses taught at these universities that utilizes Rust or C/C++? Not asking to criticize or anything, I’m legitimately curious because I too would like to see more focus on these languages over Java.

I can reccommend Trilium. I think it has what you’re looking for. | Nevermind. Looks like the project is in maintenance mode for now.

You should give Squadron 42 a shot on one of their Free Weekends. It’s pretty close to Elite as far as flight mechanics and maneuvering goes and a lot more forgiving about getting the parts you want in your ship. It’s pretty jank on foot though. Not sure if that’s a dealbreaker.

Sort of surprised Elite Dangerous never made your list. It seems like it would be right up your alley! I’ve invested thousands of hours in Elite Dangerous and several thousands hours across the entire Elite franchise.

I’ve had lots of fun with more recent space games, but to this day Star Citizen’s Squadron 42 is the closest I’ve seen any game come to Elite’s level of flight control and maneuvering. I would say it’s currently held down by how they try to manage additional content and flushing out existing content. Endgame content isn’t as exhilarating as I’d hoped, but there’s still plenty to do in the game to keep you busy for hundreds if not thousands of hours.

Elite certainly isn’t without it’s faults and I’d be pleased to see more contenders in this space (ha!), but I also recognize that space sandbox games are very difficult to get right.
