Rimworld Dev Tracker

Sometimes I think of game design like putting each idea on trial. I am prosecutor, defense, judge and jury, each in turn.

Write it. Bolster it. Question it. Attack it. Try to replace it. Make alternatives. Recess, reconvene. Judge. Sentence. Implement, discard, or deep freeze.

Originally posted by Gore: I do not really know where to put this...but this is a thing that worries me quite a bit. It is not uncommon to run really large modlist on the PC and that is a thing I dearly love.

Still - I do not wish to have Steam automatically download all the subscribed workshop mods on my Steam Deck (that I do use on my PC) since like 200+ subscribed mods will easily flood the limited storage space of the Steam Deck.

Is there any way you know of or you can think of - how one could have separate mod download lists for the computer and Steam Deck respectively.

I think this is a feature request that would be good to direct at the steam deck devs. I have passed this on to our own devs as well... Read more

Hello everyone!

It’s Tia - I’m back with update 1.3.3326 which brings full support for RimWorld on Steam Deck!

Before I get into the update, I wanted to share that our developer who was living in Ukraine is now safe in Germany. He’s staying with one of our former team members and we're doing what we can to help him get set up there. Thank you for all the kind comments and for thinking of our team. 💛

Today’s update makes the Deck controls more intuitive, refines the touchscreen interface, improves the UI and keyboard, and adds an easy way to access the Deck's controller config options.

The Steam Deck requires that we use a new version of the Steamworks API which breaks compatibility with a few mods. To prevent breakages, three weeks ago, ... Read more

Do the ideoligions have specific bigotry precepts? Or is it just disagreement about rituals and stuff?

Still in 2022 there's no good software I can find for managing game design tasks that's better than Google Docs.

The solutions out there are so featureful but so fatally clunky due to the weight of their features. Can't decide if they want to be used by creators or managers.

Nice of them to make this decision on 4/20.

Good news! RimWorld is now rated and legal to buy again in Australia.

We'll have it back up on Steam soon.

Thanks to everyone who lent their support.

RimWorld classified R 18+

Thanks for the help everyone! I think we got what we need.

What are examples of games which are rated by the Australian Board () which include drug use, especially connected to player incentives?

Seeking examples to bolster an ongoing case (right now).

Twitter increasing its character limit would be the easiest way to improve the quality of discourse (and thus thought) across our whole society.

As it stand's it's a discussion platform that makes it almost structurally impossible to communicate nuanced ideas.

Game design is hard to learn because mistakes feel like victories.

The signals of a mistake are hard to interpret and slow to arrive - often only coming years later.

The try-fail-adjust-retry learning loop is crazy long - if it ever closes at all.
