The Steam forums are the most repugnant and racist-filled psychotic right-wing shitholes I've ever encountered (and I once went to the Stormfront forums). Genuinely, Steam forums exhibit the most pure and concentrated anti-woke, "every single thought in my head was placed there by Ben Shapiro", "blacks are the real racists", x-phobic bigoted brain cancer on earth. I block them where I find them, report the ones that seem actionable, but it's like trying to hold off a tidal wave with a tennis racket.

MODERATORS
Nowadays the main thought leader of right wing weirdos are Assmongold, they've left old Benny boy in the dust because he's too nerdy for their liking.
Not to mention, Jewish.
The Steam forums are the most repugnant and racist-filled psychotic right-wing shitholes I’ve ever encountered
"Surely this person is sheltered"
(and I once went to the Stormfront forums)
buddy idk what you're doing on steam but the worst I get are youtube tier, which can sometimes be Stormfront tier but not higher than that on average.

I stopped using them a long time ago. Since they don’t seem interested in moderating their own forums in the slightest, Valve should really shut them all down. The Steam forums are such cesspits of hate speech, bigotry, and toxicity that I actually feel dirty every time I buy a game on Steam. That is not okay.
I think it depends on the game creators presence in the forums. I've been in some good steam forums that the game creators actually moderate and ban people/delete posts like the stuff on this games forum.
I block any of these idiots I see on steam and my block lost is over 2000 now....
Steam needs to change discussion threads to default to owners only
The intense racism on steam is seriously fucked up. And it's ever-present.
The game does look fun though. It kinda reminds me of that old 2D Mirror's Edge game for old iPhones but a lot better.
Vector?
Is the British Museum the final boss?
It better be. They ~~stole~~ saved so many artifacts!
They did save quite a few artifacts, but there are plenty more that they just stole with no good reason. Like the Parthenon reliefs(?) Greece has been largely stable since it's independence was won from the Ottoman empire WW2 not withstanding, or any Scottish artifacts the English sully with their hands, or quite a few Egyptian artifacts. Though I do think artifacts should be split between the home country and the excavation teem be it University or country specific or whatever.
Judging by the Benin Ivory mask in the artwork, it definitely looks like the british museum is involved somehow.
Ah yes, the "My ancestors rightfully stole this land and your existence is oppression, kefir!" crowd. We meet again.
Black people: *exist*
Racists: NOOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!1!1!1!!!
Plenty of racism in those forums playing out the “black on black” crime trope except it’s African on African crime, their fault for the slave trade, etc.

Looks genuinely fun but omfg 2d platformer with 1060 and 12gb ram as low specs? Five years from now I wouldn't be able to play a modern three-in-a-row browser game it seems.
2D in gameplay, but it's a 3D game. Also, the 1060 is almost 10 years old. But most importantly, it's still a WIP. Optimisation for lower end PCs will probably happen last.

My single 996 MEGAhertz processor, 512mb ram, 128mb vram setup could just about run Battlefield 2, Counter Strike Source, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. These games often had higher minimum requirements but I managed.
Balatro, a modern card game, starts off with minimum requirements of two 3 GIGAhertz cores and a gigabyte of ram.
Comparing AAA Valve with an indie dev isn't fair but it's objectively true that relatively simple concepts now require substantially more resources. That's like several Battlefield 1942 instances to 1 Balatro instance.
This game looks awesome!
I should not have clicked on Discussions.
It's really gotten to the point where there's no dogwhistly way to say what they're saying. They're just being blatant psychotic racists.
Just for those wondering, it seems a bit similar to Prince Of Persia the Lost Crown which I loved. I wish listed it.
getting the demo and wishlisting
Fun idea for game!
South africans like musk?
Guys we should all buy it and play it to show there is no place for hatred. We should propulse the game on the chart of the must play on the simple premise it s bold to denounce colonialism and the inherent evil of thoses white chuds. To your wallet lads
The game seems interesting and I like the visuals, unfortunately I’m not a fun of runners (I’m really bad at them).
I’ll try the demo.
At the moment I wishlisted it
