I got a whole bunch of friends and hopefully a hosted server to go with it, really hope the devs catch onto the fact that this game is gonna blow up like early Valheim given how sparce the market is with games like this,

atlas could of been great but......

Good morning 🙂

SoT is the same sadly, both mis managed projects, its such a shame that so many great concepts die in the waters of poor management.

SoT had it's chance and now floats belly up in the water.

I think the industry is in a state of waiting for a new technological jump that allows more, but I think it's gonna happen in the next 5 years: a shift in the way games are made and marketed, to move away from the disposable games and make them link into each other instead. They had the idea with "games as a service," but didn't do it right to monetize correctly or make meaningful updates during the so-called live service.

Everyone makes fun of Star Citizen, but them making a story mode as a separate box price that ties into their PU for another box price is how I see the future of gaming going, especially with the tech they are building for it. However, they could patent a bunch of stuff and lock the entire industry down from innovation or progression, like they did with the Nemesis system.

#

maybe 10 years

#

if the world survives that long, lmfao

hot plover
#

Me having never heard of Atlas taking a look at it "oh damn this game looks fun....".

wide kelp
#

can't wait to see what this game announces tomorrow, though

wide kelp
hot plover
#

Last update over two years ago oooof

#

Then again some games have been around on early access for ten years now "hi star citizen"

wide kelp
#

yeah those games are what coined the term "cash grab"

#

Star Citizen last updated 2 days ago

hot plover
#

Yeah

wide kelp
#

and gets regular updates and good comms

hot plover
#

I play star citizen, don't worry I get it xD

#

Star Citizen scratches my EvE online but I didn't wanna Frithin' play spreadsheets in space itch. And also my burned by Starfield itch.

wide kelp
#

we need a "dream" game to be in development with boundary breaking potential, since games have sort of stagnated into being very samey

stone igloo
#

its picked up more recently, but it definitely had a huge stretch of basically nothing except "hey we made a new ship package for you to buy with your money"

hot plover
#

About the only good thing Starfield did was force me to buy a new GPU and PSU so I could play it and... Well that's been nice for other games so. Thank you Starfield for that.

wide kelp
#

competition, strategy, and world exploration are the big 3 that make me interested in a game... not shallow repetition that seems to be so popular lately

#

story too, but the gameplay can't be artificially long to get through it

#

did you know almost 70% of players never finish a game... I think that tells you something about the pacing and artificially stretching content with repetition and the mundane

#

yet lots of those games still get great reviews

#

people seem to love playing half the game and leaving good reviews

#

I find it interesting, not trying to be cynical

keen dove
#

Today is the day hopefully

#

In 8 hours and 53 minutes

#

Wait no, in 8 hours and 50 minutes sorry

I really hope we get a release date, I really do

wide kelp
#

I'd imagine, with the attention this game has gotten, they are probably scared to release anythint now, lmfao

keen dove
#

They said they will release the EA in 2026, I hope we learn when

regal gust
#

i in no form or capacity expects a EA release before august of this year.
i do however hope we get a date today.

keen dove
#

You gotta capitalize on the hype, the Demo was awesome played it for 70 hours even tho the gameplay is worth 6 hours maximum

regal gust
#

i gotta admit i just don't know what else there is to announce. so in that front it is also exciting.
if its not a date then what is it.

keen dove
#

Yeah I mean what else are they going to announce? The demo release? The demo released 2 months ago so I doubt it will be that again

regal gust
#

name change it is now called StormFlower haha.

keen dove
#

I prefer Windrose 🫡

That was the first version I ever heard tbh

hot plover
keen dove
hot plover
#

That's why my gut instinct is telling me they're gonna announce the EA date. But not shadow drop surprise today

keen dove
#

Nono for sure

gilded ermine
#

I doubt there will be a shadow drop. Imo they'll show new trailer with new gameplay and at the end of the trailer EA starts on xx.yy.2026.

wide kelp
#

I loved the demo, in its small bubble of a vertical slice. I'm not sure what is gonna keep people playing to finish the game yet though. Will it be story? Will it be a sandbox of open exploration? A bit of both probably, but the world they have now wouldn't make me want to explore more if it's too samey when they expand out, or just a procedural thing with different quest points.

wide kelp
#

yep

keen dove
#

I will buy the game no matter what, I really enjoyed the demo

wide kelp
#

me too really

simple lodge
#

All I want is a release date, I agonize so much over not just knowing when it is, even if it won't come out for like 4 more months (likely)

#

I want this game to release in EA really bad, but not so bad that they release it before its ready.

I just....want to know a date, I've never wanted to know a date more than I do about this game

hot plover
keen dove
#

This game has a lot of similarities with valheim but way more quality of life features

gilded ermine
# keen dove Probably

I mean, that's the only logical way they can do it. But we will see in what, 8 hours or smth?

regal gust
#

<t:1775750400:R>

keen dove
#

😂 😂

wide kelp
#

honestly, Valheim had lots of things I didn't like about it

#

this game doesn't so far, in it's demo version, lol... I'm sure it needs better combat and coop, etc. but ya know

regal gust
#

valheim was cool, but to cumbersome, and stiff.

keen dove
regal gust
#

it was like paddling through honey with a ham
sure it tastes good, but it is not an enjoyable experience.

gilded ermine
#

Valheim was fine, but I stopped playing it after we got through all the biomes that were available at the time and we got all the high end gear.

wide kelp
keen dove
#

After you finish all the biomes and kill all the bosses all you have is building

regal gust
#

not sure you talking about valheim or windrose now.

wide kelp
#

me? Valheim

regal gust
#

but that might also be the point

#

no thegolden with his comment

gilded ermine
#

Here I was having fun with just sailing and blowing stuff up, after I learned the combat (I'm not a fan of souls like combat but this one grew onto me) i enjoyed taking out pirates etc

wide kelp
#

the puzzle of figuring out the next biome and how to enter it and survive was really cool in Valheim, though

#

probably just the fact that it's not finished that made me lose my will to finish it

regal gust
#

there is a somewhat similarity to that here aswell as every biome will have a new type of mechanic and all new mobs to combat.

wide kelp
#

the main thing I wanted more of in Valeim is more things to use ships for, so this game is gonna fix that problem I think

gilded ermine
regal gust
#

well i feel like when the allowed ores to be teleported the kinda ruined the point of the ships.

stone igloo
#

i mean from what i gathered of the demo i 100% see that being a thing in this game too, same issue you get in nearly every survival game that has a plotline attached

gilded ermine
stone igloo
#

valheim i turn on the ability to teleport with certain resources because i feel its just an arbitrary way to make the game take longer than it needs to when the game is already hard enough as is

#

i dont need to tack on making a completely new outpost in every place i go too

mint hatch
#

Are we allowed to post yt vids in this channel

stone igloo
#

if they are relevant i dont see why not

wide kelp
regal gust
#

but it does boil down to what kind of yt vid.
so it is easier just to say no, and link to that channel

simple lodge
gilded ermine
#

Still, I had a blast in the demo and me and my friends are really looking forward to the release so that we can be conquistadors and/or pirates xD

regal gust
stone igloo
#

i mean on the surface level they are practically the same game

simple lodge
stone igloo
#

eh i dont really have a problem with the weight system, especially if you save up to get megingjord

#

and the slots feel enough to work around

regal gust
#

uuh 150 extra point uuuh. such buff much wow real upgrade.

#

but i actually like how they managed to work around it with the trolley

#

so that's not my issue with it.

stone igloo
#

id much rather have that than become a walking bag of holding

hot plover
#

And the portal itself is FEEEKKIN HUUUGE

stone igloo
#

yeah but that requires i get to the ashlands and have the capability to get those items lol

simple lodge
#

I can agree with certain game mechanics made to cause friction with the player for the sake of immersion or gameplay behavior, but god I hate inventory management and I'll take whatever QoL I can get

simple lodge
hot plover
#

I'm curious to see all the weapons this game has. Especially the muskets.

regal gust
#

something i managed to see is that when you craft and build from storage that's what really hits it home for me.
that QoL is something that makes near every other game in the genre unplayable if they don't have.

stone igloo
#

i do pretty often have the issue in survival games of grabbing more than i need, so i like when games (within reason ofc) have a limit in place so i have to actively think about what i take with me

#

especially if the game is more immersive

regal gust
#

the only other thing i would then like is an "Input" chest. to auto sort my stuff. but hey i can live with spamming F on all my chests.

hot plover
#

QoL stuff like that is so important and I feel most devs are just like "lol get gud"

regal gust
#

well to be fair MC has always been lacking in Vanilla. and the mods really do alot of the lifting. so i don't ever really think of vanilla MC at all.

#

but you are on point

hot plover
#

The only QoL from an accessibility standpoint Windrose needs is to not have to spam click to chop trees/mine.

Valheim literally had this same issue on its EA and switched to a hold to mine/chop for resource gathering.

stone igloo
#

i mean vanilla wise their updates have become the grand total of "hey builders look we added a biome with a bunch of pretty blocks for you, uhhh everyone else you can have this random mob that is only useful for minigames"

#

or some other random very niche use case mob/structure

#

i play minecraft as an explorer primarily and while it is cool to have these new sub-biomes or whatever, they are basically pointless to interact with

simple lodge
regal gust
#

it does? i never felt that.

#

actually the contrary for me

#

its been the easiest server i ever hosted.

simple lodge
#

I could never figure out how to set up a private server, something always goes wrong

regal gust
#

oh sad to hear.

simple lodge
#

Software troubleshooting is where my eyes start to glaze over, I fear

regal gust
#

well if you want to set up a windrose and have trouble ask me out and i'll se if i can help you.

stone igloo
#

i mean, self hosting is the annoying part

simple lodge
#

Windrose already lets you host private servers, I don't need one thats running all the time

#

But I appreciate it all the same

regal gust

yup we have consistenly said her on the discord that it is most likely the release date that will be announced. and even that is not guarenteed

I've already planned my pirate name and ship name

amd, that's it, that's who it reminds me of

#

they announced rdna 4, and then cancelled it, and then it became an announcement for an announcement to then announce it a month later

regal gust
obtuse furnace
wide kelp
#

an announcement for an announcement date to announce another announcement

proud pond
#

can we get an announcements channel whos only purpose is to link to another, hidden announcements channel where real announcements are made

obtuse furnace
#

Music Suggestion: Alestorm. Nothing fits better to an Pirate game than Heavy Pirate Metal:-)

regal gust
#

arh yes alestorm never forget when i heard them for the first time as a warmup band in a small venue where we only where around 500 people.

proud pond
#

I got pirate dubstep

obtuse furnace
#

Or the Band Windrose when ya search for a treasure. Cause i´m a pirate and i´m diggin a hole:-)

regal gust

i think it was back in 2008 but it could be off by a year or two.

proud pond
#

I love listening to the windrose shanties, it's comforting

somber radish
#

Okay, do we think the EA will be announced and then come later in the next few months? or do you think they'll release it the week its announced or shortly after?

regal gust
#

i dont expect an EA release before august of this year.

proud pond
#

if this was made by a bigger company they'd announce the release and offer pre-orders

regal gust
#

i dont think steam allows pre-order to EA releases.

obtuse furnace
#

Well, i hope they release it this week.

proud pond

regal gust
#

"Soon™" is an internet meme and colloquial phrase used to mock vague, indefinite release dates, implying that a product, feature, or patch (often in gaming) is coming "eventually" rather than shortly.

obtuse furnace
#

Lets hope we are able to carry our demo progress in the EA Version.

proud pond
#

why do you have a macro for that

regal gust
#

in case you didn't know which is sounds like

proud pond
regal gust
proud pond
#

are the three islands in the demo the same three islands for everyone?

simple lodge
proud pond
#

I believe procedural islands were mentioned for the release but do the demo ones have procedural elements?

obtuse furnace
#

NOOOOO.... That would be bad. Save Locations are the same?

simple lodge
#

Well I don't think so, I can't say for sure

somber radish
#

just to keep in ntoe, i've said this multiple times. but its an Early Access, meaning it ain't fully finished, its still early stages of the game.

proud pond
#

I wanna visit tortuga and get drunk

somber radish
#

so they will probably release it early in a state where bugs, missing content or unfinished projects are still being added with updates

obtuse furnace
proud pond
#

I love those opportunities

#

anything that wasn't quite right or annoyed you can be swept away

#

was building damage mentioned? are you able to bombard coastal towns? I imagine not

obtuse furnace
proud pond
#

I mean more putting holes in walls

obtuse furnace
#

That would be cool. But only if WE can make the holes, not hostile pirate ships who are sneaking along our bases.

proud pond
#

I wouldn't mind getting my base blown up by hostile pirate ships, that could be fun

#

it'll add some character to any base with patchwork repairs

obtuse furnace
#

But when that happens, we must repair our bases. Lets hope if such feature comes, the repair costs are not tooooooo high.

if wanting to live is a sin, then its a rigged game, so i don't think that will be reasoning for not getting a good afterlife.

Maybe if pvp on/off would have some visual marker, that would be more fair. Sailing with your black colors indicate you’re open to pvp or something like that

well this PVP talk is just... talk. the game and it's server structure have been steered off PVP long time ago, towards survival co-op(at best)
to shift towards PVP now, is basically a remake of how the servers work.

Technically even if your ISP only allows you 300k/300k you should be able to handle 80 connections even allowing for 40% ping drift without any noticeable lag. However that does not take into account the ISP doing dynamic trunking because of band/lease agreements.

Theres going to be disappointed people either way.

If it shadow drops, people are going to think its half baked and unfinished (Its EA what do you expect)

If the release date is announced, some people will be angry/disappointed its NOT a shadow drop.

If the release date isnt announced, people will be very angry about being teased and hyped again with nothing concrete to look forward to.

The devs have said this announcement will leave people pretty happy so we're preparing for the worst but hoping for the most ideal outcome
