If you liked any free building games but felt that a lack of direction was getting you down, you'll LOVE this.

If they got their pledge goal of 100,000 this game will probably out do most indie games out there. I believe they are planning on multi-player support as well.

It's a open world, but it's also going to be survival/civ building/dungeon crawling, etc.

Anyway the Alpha is Free, so give it a try. It runs quite well in a window because it uses OpenCL. So its portable as well, wonder if they'll keep that trait. Hmmmm...

Looks really awesome, too bad I think I can't run it.

It can run in window mode/small resolution, you might get it working. It has various settings, some really low. I wouldn't knock it till you try it, you can also modify view distance.

But your card needs to support OpenCL, which is any GTX nvidia card after like 400 I believe.

OpenCL can run way back to the 8000 series cards.

Well, my computer lags at 'unlaggable' games, so I'll just download it with bad expectations. Let's see what happens.
EDIT: For some reason, the download failed when it was at about 80%. Restarted about 3 times, failed.

try the torrent, i use utorrent

google utorrent.com

Common mistake made by everyone: "Utorrent".
It's micro-torrent. That "u-like" symbol means micro. Anyways... Sure, I'm gonna try it later. Gonna post results here if I get anything.

..The name of the website itself is utorrent, and unless you feel like going out of your way to find the symbol somewhere to copy it or you know the keybind to make it there is no point to making it say µTorrent, doing so is pretty pretentious anyway.

lolwat, I thought the ctrl-alt-m combination was well known.

Maybe for non-American keyboards, mine doesn't have that functionality. To do fancy symbols you have to use the numpad.

Hm. Didn't think about it this way, sorry.
Anyways, just before I download it, is it a CPU-whore?

It is compared to Deluge, and now it's filled with ads. I recommend Deluge if you like open source lightweight torrenting with flexible out-of-the-box plugins.

I mean the game. I already have micro-torrent.
