    Vintage Stories has its own launcher and also native Linux build. Its a more slow progress and survival focused voxel game and I find it immensely satisfying playing with friends. Many tool crafting mechanics are very similar to real life, also food making has debth, there’s crop rotation and just so many little things. It was founded by the Austrians and the company sits in Latvia. It has a very international dev pool also with many from the US but I feel like that shouldn’t be an excluding factor. Way better than buying some game from Steam from an American AAA Studio

      Ugh, game looks pretty good but I can’t stand that visual style anymore. I’m very appreciative of games that use voxels for environmental destruction capabilities but that smooth them out instead of everything looking like it’s made of giant pixels, like Enshrouded.

      This one looks a lot better than minecraft for the environment (at least based on the trailer, not sure if they just used camera angles that hide the blocky look), but I was disappointed as soon as I saw the enemies/player characters.

      No hate or judgement if you are into that, it’s just annoying when something sounds like exactly what I’m into but then features a pet peeve, especially when it’s something so central as the overall visual design.

      Other threads have mentioned this game has a healthy mod community, any mods for making it look not like minecraft?
