[vintage story] So been playing this game a bit now, it's pretty good!

For anyone that didn't see the previous plurk, Vintage Story is a block game similar to Minecraft (because it was made by people previously making a mod that then ran up against the limits of the engine)

Vintage Story likes to have a certain level of realism to the crafting. So for example instead of making an axe just using the stone as-is, you instead use one stone to break another into the shape of the axe head you want.

Because they built it from the ground up, they built in seasons with shifting colors of the leaves and foliage and shifting conditions (the big push in any playthrough seems to be progressing well enough to survive your first winter)

Despite the game's claims of being uncompromising there are plenty of vanilla options to make things easier. You can, for example make it so monsters do not spawn for up to 10 days at the start of the game, giving you time to get your bearings

It's also just quite pretty

Oh wow it is pretty! the survival angle is always fun too

ooooh
