minecraft with mods lol
You're not wrong, my downvote on your original comment was just because I think it misses important differences. One of which is that (to my understanding) this game was made in part because of the limitations of modding minecraft. Your subsequent comments should not have downvotes imo.
Yeah, you could probably make this game in Minecraft with mods, but I don't think it would even come close to this performance.
For reference, in my experience I get about 60 fps avg with regular drops at 15 chunk render distance on vanilla MC, and that drops to 30 or less avg with mods of almost any kind.
This game is easily consistently at max fps for me (which has been set to 75) with max render distance (1536 blocks, which I believe is 48 chunks if my information is correct).
edit: To be clear, I'm not saying the game is just better because of the performance, it's just a significant personal factor for me. You could check reviews for other differences but with the dev being so intent on refunding the game for anyone who doesn't like it I don't see why not to just try it out if it is interesting to someone.
The maker did it themselves. They use a very close copy of the minecraft layout. To say it is only inspired by "Lovecraftian Horror" Is just disingenuous at best.
there is nothing wrong about beingg inspired by a game, Notch admitted himself to be inspired by dwarven fortress. But people shouldn't just act like something they make, especialy when using their vast knowledge in modding Minecraft, isn't based on minecraft.
It has a lot of features base game for sure, but a lot of those features literally are minecraft with mods. A lot of other features and gameplay aspects are not. And that is good. This game definitely has its own seperate soul. But again, it's disingenuous to act like this isn't a clone of minecraft at its core. because it kinda is a clone at its heart. And that is Fine. because that is LITERALLY why this game was made. it's a minecraftlike, and the makers should own it.
And people shoudln't act like it is something seperate entirely
11/10 game
7/10 honesty
Tldr, they could do better
It was originally supposed to be a mod for Minecraft, but the devs decided to make it it's own game. Yes, it has features of some Minecraft mods (like Xaero's minimap), but that doesn't mean it's just a Minecraft clone. Plus, Minecraft itself was inspired by games similar to it, like Infiniminer. But, seeing how you instantly decided to make this kind of comment, I'm assuming you're too young to know it.
