Junk Architect

Junk Architect

Back story: Your long term home at People’s Republic Square block 263-A-13 suddenly collapsed. You take the issue to the local Ministry who are able to convince you that there will be a full investigation to the matter and a full compensation for your personal losses once the investigation is ready. Meanwhile, you are encouraged to find temporary accommodation. You are able to take shelter at the local junkyard. Son of a builder, you manage to put together a temporary shelter, but your life is about to take a new direction.

This is the story of Junk Architect. You need to complete building tasks using unconventional building materials. On each level you will need to manage your materials that are level-specific, and finish goals using your skill and creativity.

Blight

Blight

Blight is an extremely challenging and realistic single-player top-down perspective survival game.

The Blight

A mysterious new disease called the Blight has descended upon the land. You have managed to escape its devastating effects as it has consumed your village and left it to ruins - You now find yourself alone in the wilderness, tired and hungry. You’ve bought yourself some time, but for how long? The Blight grows larger every day, consuming everything in sight…

Realism

The game strives on providing a punishingly realistic and immersive experience with a ton of depth. Actions like chopping trees and cooking food take a lot of precious time. You can only carry a few things at a time. You need to boil water to make sure it’s safe to drink. Water and other liquids need to be carried in bowls and other containers, and will spill out if not transported securely. You will need to scavenge numerous raw materials, many of which will need to be processed, combined, treated or hardened to make tools, items and structures.

Challenge

The Blight is just one of many threats to your existence in the unforgiving wilderness. After quickly setting up camp you will constantly need to keep yourself well fed and hydrated, replenish lost energy with sleep and short rests, defend yourself from the wild beasts that still inhabit the woods, heal your wounds, protect yourself from the harsh elements, and figure out a way to somehow end this terrible disease. Almost everything in the procedurally generated world can and will kill you if you aren’t careful.

There are whispers of Druids in a far off land that may know more about the Blight…

Upcoming Features

Vilset

I played a lot the other game made by the same developer, CrossWorlds: Escape.

For some reason I like that game more than other survival games, despite still being improvable for normal players.

I am confident that this game will have a similar evolution or better.

When you start the game, it shows the following message:

**Welcome to the alpha version of the Vilset.

This version of the game has many limitations, many game mechanics have not yet been implemented, and temporary models and animations are used.**

far to many serious bugs in this game to be enjoyed, characters starving even though they have plenty of food constantly eating yet starvation monitor going up up up dead

Gas Station Simulator

The game idea itself is great, however it needs A LOT of polishing to be considered playable / fully released.

Game Breaking Bugs:

  • If you start playing, the performance is OK, however the more you play, it gets slower and more demanding on resources on your computer, perhaps you guys have a memory leak somewhere, or something. It’s not normal to start with ~100 fps and be on ~30 after a hour of gameplay.

  • You should be able to sell your stuff, if you steal from cars A LOT, it all adds up to the warehouse making tight space for your deliveries. If you don’t want to allow us to sell the things, then at least make it that we can throw them in trash or something.

Hobo: Tough Life

Hobo: Tough Life

I was hesitated about buying this game due to some review and topic said the Dev has abandoned this game. Let’s me clarify this. They just put a new update in this game, and also there will be a patch which add mod support to the game according to the dev. And after 90 mins playing, so far I don’t see any bug glitch in this game. Everything work pretty smooth, game optimization is very good imo. Here are some Pros and Cons.

Pros:

  • Save on exit. You can exit the game anytime you want without worry about losing your progress.

So, after surviving 3 consecutive winters, I have a fair grasp on the game—which did not come without cost. The first ~10 hours was learning how to balance the needs of the character, and learning the city (the latter being the slightly more difficult part).

Expect to die. Expect to die a lot. This game is ruthless, and it will sht on you: you will starve, you’ll be told to “pss off”, you’ll smell like a porta-potty, you may end up involved with a Satanic Cult, you’ll get blitzed so badly that you’ll feel like you have to hold on to the pavement to keep from falling off the face of the planet…and then you’ll sh*t your pants.

House Builder

House Builder

In it’s current state I would not recommend this game, maybe once it is further along in development then yes. I first played the demo & enjoyed it which is why I bought the game. Your progress doesn’t transfer over so I had to start over. That part didn’t bother me, However after finally making it back pass the initial two level I bought the third house & began initially trying to play. The animals in the background were glitching across the screen & floating in the air. After ignoring that I still tried to start building my house, however once I opened up the shop menu nothing I clicked one seemed to work. Since I couldn’t get back to the game I force closed the game & started it back up only to find out that I had to repurchase my new house again. Which would have meant either selling or rebuilding my first two houses or taking a loan from the back. So I took the loan & re-bought the house but then I couldn’t even get back into the house. Every “Yes” option on wanting to continue kept being grayed out & I could only keep choosing “No”. I’m already pass the two hour trial period of buying it so I have to keep it. So I’ll likely try it again in a couple of weeks/months once some updates have been done.

I recommend it but it’s kinda buggy..

I’ve had a lot of strange things happen. I’ve gotten stuck. Indicator to pick up things disappeared. I had to restart the Japanese house 3 times. It doesn’t always place the boards in the right places. You can’t reset yourself but you can sell or restart a level. There aren’t a whole lot of houses to do yet but it is $15.00 Full price US dollars and I got it on sale probably, knowing me.

I did enjoy it though and there’s a bit of replayability to it. (prolly not a word but I like it)

BEFORE you rage quit - please read.

I have put some time in on the game and have to say that it would be an excellent addition to an anger management course. The dynamic with the bugs is very frustrating and it can seem like the developer is trying to troll you. It begins to feel like a “groundhog day” endless restart of your life to do things exactly right. More of a puzzle that you only get to figure out the next piece by dying. Over and over and…..over. For those who go in thinking it will be a sandy and hot version of The Long Dark there will be angst at first.

The game has potential, that’s why I kept playing, but there are way too many things wrong with it as it is right now.

It crashes Firefox. Every single time. I literally cannot have Firefox open at the same time as Starsand.

The centipedes are the most annoying mobs I’ve seen in any game, and they completely ruin it for me. No matter how many of them I kill they are always back the next day. I can’t even find myself on the map most times, how can THEY find me again THAT fast?

Their bodies also despawn very fast, so you can easily find yourself with no loot at the end of a tough fight. The bodies despawn on load too, so if you killed 3 of them, saved and then got killed by the last one you’ll notice the ones you killed disappeared.

The Crust

The Crust

Welcome to the Crust — the game where you can be the CEO of a gigantic moon colonizing company. It is a large-scale economic simulator with elements of survival along with a rich setting and dramatic script.

No fate is determined. The progress is driven by people. It’s time for you to decide whether you become the one who brings changes — or the one who adapts to them. Whether to be mediocre and insignificant anybody — or to be a pioneer in the space colonization industry, leading your corporation to dominance and bringing necessary effort to make humanity an interstellar species.

Building the world of the future will mark a place for you in the history books. Only the strongest can survive on a giant grim permafrost rock surrounded by vacuum, deep space darkness, and deadly silence.

To be the second in the space race means to be the first who loses. Are you ready to take this challenge? The conquest of the Moon has already begun.
