Speaking of Dungeon Keeper, lots of people dont seem to know that you can get both of the DK games on steam now. Was good fun playing them again
They've been on GOG a long time. It's frustrating that people will intentionally DRM themselves in allegiance to Steam.
@@GameTimeWhygood luck without steam proton if you are not in allegiance with microsoft
War for the Overworld was a lot of fun too
@@budvarsikmizz4878 yeah stream deck and proton are awesome. Owning your games is awesome too.
Dungeons 3 is a modern interpretation. But not as good
When he scrolled down the tech tree I literally said "Oh damn" out loud.
Man, my library generally gets added 1-2 games/month cuz of you Splat...
last purchase was Dustland Delivery which was dope as hell and PRETTY deep mechanics once you get to play around!
i'm with you in that boat :D
At this point Splat is my only place i look for reccomendations
Oh, is that out?
@@simondoesthings Yes, he's really doing a great job. I can also reccomend MEGAthemicro for short and to the point reviews.
1-2 games a month? Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
I saw this earlier on steam. It gives me big Outpost/Outpost 2 vibes. I hope it finds some good footing.
Man I've been wanting an Outpost/Outpost 2 type game to come around but haven't seen much.
@@canadianwithabeard Same here. Surviving Mars almost scratched the itch but I miss the multiplayer modes.
"Any mistake at this point with doom you and your colonists to certain death. Have a nice day." - Outpost AI
holy shit, Outpost crew represent
"for the next 30 min". Plays for 45+min....good sign?
Even though I'm neither into Factorio type games, looks like I would get addicted to this one as well, with those Sci-fi complements, questing & exploring. You were super possesed on that second half of the video after the 18 hour journey 😂
I think the best description of this game would be Factorio meets Surviving Mars (on the Moon)
We're whalers on the moon, we carry a harpoon...
But there ain't no whales so we tell tall tales, and sing our whaling tune!
@@MarkDeSade100 thank you.
That was a great trip to memory lane there. Shame it stopped.
@@TimTheH eh, F it.
WEEEEEEEEEE'REEEEEE...
...
Been so excited for this one to come out since you first covered it. SPLAT stop spending my money. You find such great gems and provide some great coverage, keep up the amazing work and look forward to more streams and videos.
There is a basic priority system for managing drones etc. Using the market to complete contracts to get research points works too if you are only missing a few items.
I put like 30 hours into this games demo last year during the Steam Next Fest. It made it into my wishlist back then.
That's good to hear. It looks great in this video, but that's not a small price it's listed for and with no current demo available it's a big ask to even consider buying it without more info.
Been looking closely at this, wasnt sure what to think about it. Been burned a lot by games lately. So thx for the look at. To be honest, looking at the screen captures and such just makes me just wanna play Surviving Mars instead.
It does scratch the same itch as Surviving Mars. And the mining production chains are clearly inspired by Satisfactory. It's got a bit of Deliver Us The Moon as well, since you need to solve the mystery of the accident.
What splatt isn't capturing because he's playing Sandbox, is the storyline and atmosphere. You eventually get a big mining machine that goes out into the world to get resources, which you bring home to process then export to Earth. The initial deposits on your map eventually run out, they are basically just to bootstrap you into the production chains and sustainability.
" Been burned a lot by games lately"
i always make sure the games i get are room temperature.
This looks a LOT like Surviving Mars. Similar mechanics, similar UI, similar concept.
i played surviving mars and played demo on last steam fest , 12+ hours of this , and similarities are mostly surface level at most , while likely devs played or seen surviving mars it more reminds me anno 2205 crossed with captain of industry/satisfactory/factorio
i currently not have steam money to buy this;o pain
Surviving Mars was pretty simplistic. This looks like it has more stuff. Not necessarily interesting stuff, but quantity at least.
Hope the AI is better than surviving Mars... That was such a bug fest on release. Drones that would go into infinite loops of moving same resource between two locations, people moving to jobs that they hate/bad at and getting depressed because there was no way to manually move colonists and game just signed whomever... it took a year of patches for it to become playable. Funnily enough, the game logic broke down only after certain complexity - it worked well enough to get you through steam refund period.
@@lucidnonsense942 for the most part AI has been good. There are times you'll be looking at the drones asking "why are you doing that? Put it down and go do thing I NEED you to do now". There are certain tasks that take priority even when you raise priority in something time sensitive like getting them to load a cargo ship or build a solar panel before the sun goes 🤦♂️ Considering some of the rando stuff self driving cars get up to irl kinda adds to the realism 😂
Surviving Moon.
Glad to hear this one's playing so well. It looked neat
a Kickstarter game (that game me the energybasegame feeling at the start) that goes into early access to ask for more funds buying it before is complete? damn.
"I haven't run into anything too egregious[....]
I hate that menu right there"
😂😂
Has a vibe of the original Outpost for DOS. Colour me interested!
Factorio 2.0 and shapez 2 are both coming next month (August 2024). Pray for us
Another gem discovered by Geologist Splatt, ty dude.
Yep, Splatt Geo has the best indie game content
the thing about power is that you would much rather have too much of it than too little. unlike some countries on our irl planet ... that i currently live in -_-
I hope it isn't a mistake to watch this. I want this game. This and Satisfactory is going to lose me my job. Luckily, Satisfactory doesn't come out until around when my contract is over.
Just another 4 hours and I can jump on and play 10 hours straight.
Thanks for showcasing! ^^
If I had to stare at Alice Vance for 18 hours, I'd be up for that!
Looks like a more complex "Planetbase" game.. interesting.
Worth a Wishlist for me, I think. Not really playing pace games right now, but every few months I cycle back.
Thanks, Splatt.
Yeah, I bought this on release 4pm BST Monday. Installed it and then...
it was nearly 4am Tuesday morning 🤦♂️ Good game though 😂
Love your vids brah.
This has a lot of frostpunky vibes for me, which definitely a fan of that. Might pick it up later this week and give it a shot.
every city game coming out now has frostpunk vibes, I like the game but I really want to see some creativity instead of the same thing over and over
Hey, just because my name is Jeff and I have a business on the moon, doesn't mean I'm less of a person (!) @31:35 😂
I've seen a few early access reviews/play through, and this title looks pretty good.
Seems like a pretty cool game.
This game is really looking good but I am the same as you Splat - I HATE RADIAL Menus as a PC player.
'They might be some random guy named Jeff...'
You mean the same Jeff that possesses nuclear weapons for some reason?
What embargo do you mean?
Funny you show the game just now - Subsurface cave systems were just detected on the moon IRL.
Right mood for it and instahype for science geeks. 😁
im really diggin this game (pun definitely intended). What's the deal with the Components Producer? It builds so slow and it breaks constantly!
RE: AI Art.
If you can't tell, does it make a difference?
Much better than the other channel I was watching that was havin a rally a couple nights ago. But only through inner strength can one learn to embrace the darkness.
Bwahahahha! X Space indeed. Well hello there Elon.
This is very cool and real good looking is there any combat
I got more vibes of "Captain of the industry" in this game, that is a good thing too
it's just captain of industry
"the industry" doesn't make any sense, which industry? where? I guess some languages are weird and everything is a "the" in those, and you carry that over to english reflexively?
@@doltBmB it was autocomplete, but is funny hear you nonsense.
I hope someone photoshops a pizza into this title screen
I didn't know Don Draper worked for the ACIL company.
I wonder how this compares to Dyson Sphere. I really love that game.
I hope it'll be better than Surviving Mars (which it resembles a fair bit), that, six years and many patches and expansions since release, remains a wretched hollow shell of a game.
Smart bricks can do your homework for you. That's the difference.
Night on the moon? A couple of days? Try about 2 weeks. Think how long it takes the moon to go from full to new.
It feel like missing something as there is not any alien/creature to fight with
otherwise it look quite good
Splat on a role for the last couple of weeks. This one looks interesting, but not crystal clear. Would need to be more than just making a lunar mining colony.
I'm guessing the problem with the "Steam Cloud" was actually because you had different versions of the game running on your different PCs.
I'm with you on the radials dislike. Nested radial menus are one of those design trends that needs to go for PC games, right behind the overuse of press & hold key interactions. Both are very unfriendly for the end user.
i lost 6 hours to it yesterday alone
Alice Vance? I see what they did there.
It's good to be black on the moon.
So this game ISN'T about pizza???
I bought Night Raider b/c of your video and I have sunk way too many hours into it already.
there is only light and dark side of the moon, there are no days and nights.
There is a day/night cycle on the moon; it's 28 (Earth) days long. This is what causes the phases of the moon.
The "light" and "dark" sides of the moon have nothing to do with this (or actual illumination, for that matter) they are the side that is visible from the Earth and the side that faces away from us, respectively.
How do these games differentiate themselves from established existing games that are not only been around for a long time but do almost everything else better?
They mostly just claim to be like “x” while failing to understand what makes “x” fun….
Almost every management game gets stale eventually, when you figure every system out. Games "like it" give you something new to grind. They don't really need to stand out, they just need to be competent enough and appropriately priced.
@@Akanon74 I see what you are saying, but I think there’s more to it… I still pick up Factorio, occasionally, and enjoy my time in it, even after hundreds of hours, but I try to pick up “Factorio-likes” and vast majority are just tedium with shiny colors
@@Akanon74 I think that is a bit reductive because it just means that game developers can forego creativity and just make semi-clones of existing games. The logic you use depressing and counter-intuitive to a community where creativity, art and innovation is key.
@@TrueRandomization Another way to put the initial question would be "why don't we just play this excellent game forever". Because it gets old. A good way to get people interested enough to try your game is to say that it's like that other game everyone likes. "It's familiar with a twist" tends to be the sweet spot to sell your game. From what I can observe in this industry, cloning and mashing genres together is the norm. For management games specifically, I say that every competent (i.e. not a buggy mess) management game is fun, but the good ones are fun for longer.
🖤
Regolith. The reg part is pronounced like regular
I froking live your vids 🙌💜
Are there Clangers ?
I really want to honor you again, on your planning and intelligence. I truly believe you're one of the greatest content creators in this genre. Exceptional.
Our moon doesn't have day and night cycles, it doesn't rotate like the Earth.
try ostranauts bro
Hi
Comment for the comment god!
Well if it rotates it's at least not Earths moon. Earths moon Luna is tidally locked.
The Moon still rotates - its just the time it takes to rotate once equals the time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth once.
Tidal lock doesn't mean it doesn't rotate, it means it rotates in about the same amount of time it takes to do a full orbit. This means that the moon rotates around its axis in about 28 days and also orbits earth in 28 days. Thus, from our perspective, we always see the same side of the moon, ish.
Luna is tidally locked to Earth, but rotates relative to the Sun.
The game is not fully voiced! many parts are not voiced not sure why you would say that. as if you play it you will see. not everyone's text is voiced
AI art, AI art everywhere?
Suprise! It's cheap and decent so people are gonna use it, same with voice acting eventually. When it gets to the point you cannot distinguish it you won't care anymore...
You played 18 hrs and still didn't get to see certain features of the game?.
Nope still working my way down the chain, it's definitely a slow burner and the tech tree might need reorganizing there's a lot of useless stuff that takes a while to churn out to get to the nodes that make moves.
@@Splattercatgaming Well good news then,its hard to find some decent games with depth these days,it did look ok,familiar to some other mars games weve played,i cant give you a hard time about the learning curve,recently went back to transport fever 2 with a ton of mods and its like learning it all over again,no dwarf mods yet tho
Low Sci Fi you do know we cant go to the moon today right? we dont have the specs for humans apparently lol they lost the tech for radiation protection "apparently" lol this game is High tech for us now. lol
Young man, regolith is pronounced like this: /ˈreɡəˌliTH/ ua-cam.com/video/2HDFBlLaPnM/v-deo.html otherwise, because of you I may give this game a chance (!)
Unsub for 18 months for bait usage
why didnt splat cover once human launch?
Didn't have time, I have a dental problem thing going on right now that's really knocking chunks out of the day to get fixed.
@@Splattercatgaming I hope you get well soon bro, dental treatment sucks but not solving them is worse, thanks for the reply
Anyone else twitching a little bit with Splatt's pronunciation of Regolith, rɛɡəlɪθ :D
