Any other promising games coming out this year?
>>1732222all of these games are crap. wasted quads.
>>1732264Against the Storm mogs everything you play
>>1732222Tlatoani has released? Nebuchadnezzar left me hungry for more
>>1732332according to https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925280/Tlatoani_Prologue/it releases in 11 days, not sure if full version of EA ...
>>1732222>>1732349Oh man, I thought the guy disappeared and scrapped the game. Glad to see it back.
>>1732222I'll try Song of Syx and Tlatoani. Manor Lords I was forced to pirate, so I don't really trust the devs. Same for Frost Punk. Against the Storm is just a pass for now due to the art style.
>>1732222>comes to 4ch with high hopes and dreams of promising futuresWhy would you do this to yourself?All you’ll get here is vitriol.
>>1732494>Against the Storm is just a pass for now due to the art stylewhy? I think they pull off the warcraft 3 aesthetic better than any other game that has tried
>>1732505>they pull off the warcraft 3 aestheticThat's the problem anon. WC3 was like that because polygon limitations, as much as a design choice emulating Cartoons & Todd McFarlane. Seeing it in 2024 is like a disappointment more than nostalgia. Also it's just hard to see; both UI and Unit-wise. I know they're trying to go for a gloomy feeling, but when buildings having color matching the trees (green,red,purple-brown) + black background icon on black windows it's just hard on the eyes.
>>1732520if you mean you have hard time distinguishing resources on ground theres a hotkey 'B' which shows 2d icon representation of every resource you discovered
>>1732222Fabledom and Norland both come out next month. Fabledom will probably be whatever but Norland could be the game that solves Rimworld, or at least medieval Rimworld mods, if they actually pull it offSynergy supposedly comes out Q2 2024 and looks coolHollywood Animal, The Movies-like from This is the Police devs, is set for 2024 release if that counts as a builder
>>1732500Nta, but honestly though 4chan, at least /vst/, is one of the calmer and "mature" in terms SMS. Seriously post-2011 internet is shit, plus the 2020 lockdown grew the autistic population exponentially due to people on the edge just falling off.
>>1732349>Meso American city builderTook long enough.
Songs of Syx is one of those games that make me ask myself "why wouldn't I just play dwarf fort". But the others look interesting.>>1732505It looks nothing like WC3, are you on crack? League of Legends perhaps.
>>1732632You could think of SoS as a casual dorf fort. A weekender version of it, and it was made by one guy so what more can you ask? DF didn’t escape ASCII hell until Gaben got involved.
>>1732665Tilesets were always available for DF and the Steam release is just a particularly ugly and bankrolled one.
>>1732632In songs of sex you can have more than 30 citizens without your CPU combusting.Would be nice if it had z levels though
>>1732500>Go on good boards>Have good experience Wow its crazy i can enjoy this place
keeping my eye on the crust
>>1733103Yeah I've been here for 10 years now.I stay on /int/ and /g/ and where I can laugh at AI and crypto shills, or be jovial with Brazilians, I like those things.
>>1733058>Would be nice if it had z levels though"No!"
>>1732632>why wouldn't I just play dwarf fortBecause it's actually functional as a game? Dwarf fortress is laughably easy, there's no incentive to expand or build anything large. Only thing syx lacks in fluff.
How's Nebuchad? Better or worse than the classic Impressions games?
>>1732533Norrland is a glorified mobile game. Dont know anything about fabledom. The only game in the OP that is mid is SoS, the rest are straight trash.>frostpunk 2Mobile game>manor lordsScreenshot simulator>mexican builderNebuchadnezzar (not even good) clone>against the stormFurry bullshit
>>1733678My impression is that of the impressions games clones it has matured into the best one after its updates.
>>1733678It's on par with Pharaoh. At least the base game is. The expansion added a lot of stuff but I haven't played it yet.
>>1732494>Song of SyxI tried the demo but couldn't get into it.
>>1733680>NebuchadnezzarThat's just a clone of the same game Tlatoani is copying
>>1736329The guy you're replying to wouldn't know. He doesn't play any of these games, just whines about them
>>1732222About time
>>1732222I want to love Songs Of Syx but it’s so complicated
>>1732222Basically, in Songs Of Syx I build the warehouse, forage food, and maybe get a pasture in before my population just mysteriously dies off. And yes, I made sure to install a well right off the bat.
>>1737029you're retarded and don't deserve help.
>>1737031I bet that's what your mother said when she gave birth to you
>>1732547>Seriously post-2011 internet is shitGaymer Gate and the 2016 US elections ruined it
>>1737032yea she said it to you.
>>1737047>NO Ugreat comeback. the one on your mothers chin was more satisfying.
>>1737052You just no u'd me you literal downie, lmao.
>>1737156
>>1737033>not widespread smartphone access for first world poors and then global poors
>>1732632Why the fuck would you play DF in current year? Base game Rimworld blows it the fuck out in every aspect.
Laysara launched week ago in EA.It's a mix of Frostpunk and Anno, with really nice music. Comfy as fuck.
>>1738521different sorts of games in the level of macro focus alone
>>1736378I play all of them, you just watch your favourite streaners play them on your iPad on thevway to school
>>1738540Reminder that you cant rotate buildings in this game becaise the lazy scammer dev only modelled one side of it. Its a 2d screenshot simulator
>>1732264You are crap, wasted singles.
>>1732632>>1732665I understand why SoS and DF keep getting compared but they're very different games. It's an apples-to-oranges comparison.>DF has Z-Layers. SoS Doesn't.>DF is a Base-Building Sim like Rimworld in the scale of dozens colonists. SoS is a City-Builder in the scale of thousands of citizens.>DF combat is mostly based around trapdoors and defense structures with smaller-scale melee combat. SoS combat is mostly based around large armies with Total War mechanics, and aditionally sieging fortifications and siege engines.>DF's Overworld map layer is an optional feature you can choose not to interact with for the most part. SoS Overworld is an unavoidable part of the game, with many 4X mechanics that will start affecting your nation you as you grow your city.>DF's management is centered around keeping individuals in check, while SoS is more so about Population/Demographic management.In shorter terms, DF is a Micromanaging Simulator, while SoS is a Macromanagement Sim.They aren't comparable like people say they are outside of both being fantasy strategy games centered around building a thriving colony.
>>1732222The mesoamerican city builder look so cool, shame that as someone who actually did a master's on mesoamerican cultures I can see the gamefication of it made it all historically inacurate, still waiting for ASS creed to make a mesoamerican game, just because out of every sin they commit, their historical cities are top notch
My up ratio for slav lords hit just over 175 times already in 10 hours wtf
>>1732264Kys retard.Look for a different hobby if you hate videogames.
>>1732632Because you can't have 13k dwarves in DF?
>>1732222Norrland looks good
>>1739965I thought he finally added multi-thread support. Is it just the steam version?
>>1732264This, none of these look good
>>1732222tried against the storm. felt like I was replaying the same map over and over again. And then I get punished with hours of lost progress..
>>1738521rimworld is not a sandbox for starters, and DF definitely ain't a city builder.
>>1732222>song of syxgood but barebones. needs at least 3 times more content desu.>tlatoanipromising, low chance it works because there's nowhere near the research on mesoamerica. Hope they don't abandon it unpolished like Nebuchadnezzar did holy shit who the FUCK makes an impressions clone without job priorities?.>against the storm>procedural time-based city builder with roguelite elemntsliterally worst genre combo imaginable, and it literally has no lore despite being a fantasy story centric game. its shit. harpies are cute tho'.>fronstpunk>manor lordhaven't checked them out
>>1740391There is actually a lot of research on mesoamerican societies
>>1740391songs of syx is anything but barebones.
>>1740391>no loretheres lore you are just mindless hater who never even played the game, it avoids the biggest flaw of most city builds which once you figure out basic building block game becomes kinda solved and only variety are campaign maps once those run out its over, Against the storm not only has different random quest every match, biomes with different resources which completely change the gameplay, great progression system and difficulty scaling, it has self generating campaign map which is different every time. Not to mention its very polished and has great UI (will admit its confusing at first cause it has a lot going on). Theres a reason it has overwhelming positive reviews on steam
>>1740391>good but barebonesWhat? Are you retarded?>needs at least 3 times more content desu.Completely agree, I want much more differences between races architecturally for example and unique building graphics for things like homes and production buildings based on race. I also want processed foods other than bread.
>>1732264against the storm is not bad, but it doesn't even feel like a colony builder
There's this game I'm looking forward to called Kaiserpunk, it's a grand strategy + city builder combo which I think is interesting. There's only going to be be one city and whatever happens in the city will of course affect the map.
>Manor lords on saleIs it worth getting? I really enjoyed Anno 2077 but was a bit dissapointed by the rts elements. Is this game in the same boat?
>>1741911It just came out and is very early in early access. It's playable but still very limited and obviously in need of further development.
>>1741951>obviously in need of further developmentI didn't buy it based on that non-committal blog post talking about future development and the shady marketing tactics. Not to state the obvious, but you can always hoist the sails and give it a try before buying.
>>1740391It's the second time I read someone say Nebuchadnezzar was abandoned, what happened? Did the dlc flop? I was in the beta and stuff seemed at least promising.
>>1741911Oh my science you HAVE to get Manor Lords it is the GREATEST GAME EVER
niggers
>>1741959That's what I did. Game has crashed more than a few times. Content is sparse as is the tree. The only interesting thing here is the zoning for housing with its addon's and upgrades. Fields pastures and marketplace are also neat. Other games have some free form zoning all that before so not as novel. Sc2000 is zoning in rectangles as well and that's a quarter century ago. Nice to see east Europa toy with old concepts.
>>1741959You need to get better at samefagging
>>1741120scope seems insane for a jank dev but could be interesting. those AI portraits suck though
>>1741959Nta, but also played. It's not broken or anything, but it doesn't live up to the hype it built-on and definitely need more polish & bug-fixing (especially in the UI and AI). Unless you want to invest in the game to do better, stay off until they fix it IMO.
>>1739819The dev used to post threads here and is very knowledgeable. I have an older version on my laptop and there's nothing super gamey about it. You have to build your city according to Mesoamerican cultural values of symmetry and cleanliness and nobles have to have their own quarter of the city built just for them. There's an important trade system because lots of crucial goods aren't available in every biome so you HAVE to specialize production on what you can grow/make in your region and export it in exchange.
>>1732264Being contrarian isn't a real personality trait.
>>1732222>Tatoaniis that game actually free or am i seeing things?https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925280/Tlatoani_Prologue/
>>1743630>This is an Open Alpha of Tlatoani
>>1743630'prologue' means it's a demo with its own steam page
>>1743865>'prologue' means it's a demo with its own steam pageWhat are game devs doing? That shits for doujinshis when the fucking artist couldn't finish their book in time for summer comiket.Also WTF is this closed demo shit? Like if you're going to do that leave it private to your first backers or higher actual experienced play testers of the genre.
>>1743348Yeah, and the concept is very niche so I really hope it works out for them. Grand strategy and city builder in one is something I've always wanted only in a different time period and setting but I'll take what I can get. They said that there's going to be a demo so we'll know more then.
