This game was basically dead, but the dev work was apparently transferred to some volunteers. They put out a huge update, put it up for sale at -94% until March 5th and enabled EAC support for Linux.
Hoping to get more people to play this and keep it alive.
Yep its a great idea for counteracting seniority advantage imo. I have yet to play much, but after restarting once even got the voice chat to work. The visual map planning thing lets people plan even without vc tho.
The only worry i have is that its built on Unity, which is not the best for a shooter like this, but im gonna stay optimistic.
I thought that too about planning with the map w/o using VC. That’s a big plus for me, if I can help whip up a game plan first thing or go along with one and then respond to other people’s calls I’m set, I love playing PUGs without a mic personally. I’m a parent but even before this kid came along I always lived with people and it’s just easier to share a space without being on a mic, but I’m happy to listen to people who are on.
PS5’s built-in mics have been great for me for PUGameplay tbh. In supported games like Helldivers 2, I can keep it off until I hear someone talking and then join in. I like the option of VC being freely available to male tactical choices about, but 99% of the time I’m good just using pings and paying attention.
Edited to add, what are the concerns with Unity? I know it’s unpopular but that’s about it
Yeah VC is not for everyone. When i play with women in my party, its sadly still a nightmare in many games as soon as they start using their mic.
its a typo i know but i chuckled at it anyways :D
