Master of Orion fan remake
Xonotic doesn't really count, its mechanics are purposefully unique to itself but it keeps the Darkplaces engine going, you can play lots of wayyyy old quake maps and it is fun as hell.
BAR is one of the best rts games ever.
I used to spend way too much time on Freeciv.
I wish there was some kind of open-source Total War.
I’ve played both and they’re both great. BAR is extremely good, and wz2100 preserves a unique entry in the genre
Not official clones, and I haven't tried them but they look good:
God, I remember playing the demo when it came out. The machine gun was nuts.
I saw the other post about this the other day. Absolutely beautiful trailer. Got me emotional and I've never drawn anything in my whole life.

In case the code is cut off
Not sure why the article doesn't link to the tweet.
In case anyone wants to see the short clip, there you go.
History is a flat circle. GOG was originally started as a new branch (bussiness?) by polish publisher CDProjekt (the same ones who also started gaming division called CDProjekt RED). Original CDProjekt is now gone, but GOG starting it's own publishing branch feels very ironic.
Non-toxic, too!
The same valve that refuses to moderate their forums or get rid of fascist, misogynistic etc games etc?
[Sarcasm] This is shockingly surprising..
We ain't found shit!
It starts fun, but biggest machines are either a bit underwhelming or have poor cleaning algorithm to be viable.
Early upgrades are kinda pointless.
Either get it for the few hours of play or wait for updates.
@alexhaist thank you!✌️☺️🤘
@dgar great lyrics

It's on my wishlist, but we'll see if I end up buying it or not (I have a ton of games to get through). I've watched some gameplay of it though, including a ringing endorsement. Looks very very good, although it gets quite difficult once you start to get deep into it.
There's multiple games I call friendslop despite them being generally well made because they have singleplayer balancing issues that get solved by multiplayer. Also I don't really have a better term.
Valheim for example gives many bosses too much health so they're a slog in singleplayer but fine in multiplayer. Hytale recently added their first boss fight and it has the same issue, hopefully they fix it.
On the other hand, Terraria does a very good job with balancing bosses for both single and multiplayer. I've beaten the game in master mode several times both with friends and alone and no boss has felt overly easy, difficult, or boring.
I watched this last night. It added nuance to the conversation I didn't know we needed to have.
Reminds me of when people coined ‘walking simulator’ as a derogatory term to mock games like Dear Esther, alongside lengthy flame wars about what constitutes a ‘real game’.
These days walking simulator is just an accepted label for a specific flavour of game that didn’t previously have a name.
Getting mad at the word friendslop is pointless. If that’s what people (including developers!) are calling it, that’s what it’s called.
That is a weird definition.
Friendslop are games that you wouldn't play in a million years alone because of how unfun they are, unless you play them with friends.
What would make you play a second bout? I'm reading every reply.
A second bout!? I'm not doing a first bout without AI usage disclosures in this day and age. Sorry to be blunt but I've just waded through a trough of slop at Steam NextFest.
I played this to death for a week, very addictive and pretty much an arcade game.
It seems like, it's partially cut off. I will posted it elsewhere again and link it.
