Neptune's Pride 2 VS Torque (video game)

> You're on a ship going between destinations, but there's no light-speed shortcut, or jump-cut to the destination. Instead, you have to maintain the ship for the entire duration of the journey. Neptune's Pride [0] is a fantastic real-time strategy game that has this feature without the maintenance part. You play the game over the course of days instead of minutes or hours. And it may take hours for your ships to... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

If you haven’t heard of Neptune’s Pride [0], well… Consider this fair warning! It’s an online multiplayer strategy game, like a sci-fi cross between Risk and Monopoly. It’s played in real-time — over the course of weeks or months — between a small (≈8-32) group of anonymous strangers. Neptune’s Pride puts diplomacy at the forefront of its gameplay. Even if you have the best strategy on paper, you don’t stand a... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

If you want all these things and exponential growth, check out Neptune's pride: https://np.ironhelmet.com/ for basically "diplomacy in space with a few extra dimensions". I haven't played in a few years (it was great at the beginning of the pandemic), but it was a lot of "fun" in the same way that diplomacy is "fun". Except with a space theme and a lot of anxiety waking up at 2am hoping your fleet arrives at an... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

For people who likes the kind of backstabbing thrilling behind the scene diplomacy wackiness that ooze from Eve, but can't really get involved in it for whatever reason (most often being time, motivation, or the fact that 99% of eve gameplay is actually more excel than malta conference), I highly recommend you give Neptune's Pride [1] a try. It's not at all the same kind of game (it's a "turn by turn" 4x game... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

The developer obviously put a lot of care and attention into creating something they're proud of and hoped others would enjoy. I hope the person who created this notices the influx of attention its now getting and gets a kick out of... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Thank you, we've done a little digging and found a way to force Steam to download the depot. We've published a guide here[1] and are currently waiting for a friend with a Mac to test it.

I spent countless hours playing the DF2 demo that came on one of the computer magazine CDs in India (PC Quest I think). My favourite FPS by a long shot :) Here's a steam guide to upgrade to a fan made engine and really improve the graphics: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1778723490 Think it should work on the GOG version too. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Does it actually work though? Ironically my experience is that windows api + proton are a more stable target than anything linux native.
