Should a thread for Six Ages be made? On a quick lookup, development is still ongoing, unlike *cough* That Which Sleeps.

OP appears to have left the boards, so... maybe? Maybe make it a Six Ages + KoDP thread?

Here you go

oof right to the solar plexus. ouch.

WOW!

Even though I couldn't really play the game for extended time periods... Even I recognized a certain greatness to the game that shone through many a time.

Especially with its blend of both myth as real and myth as fiction (it IS possible there are either no supernatural parts to the game, it is just stories being told to you... OR that both supernatural and superstition exist at once).

In fact it is one of the rare times fiction acknowledges that supernatural and superstition are not mutually exclusive, in fact it can intensify superstition. Usually when fiction brings it up it is always "racism" or something along those lines.

My favorite event that highlights it is when your Tribe gets a lot of alcohol in a shipment, get plastered, and start causing trouble. You actually accuse the people who went it of giving you alcohol possessed by spirits or dark magic. Best part is that the game never EVER actually tells you if that is a thing.

Which is the best part honestly the game never outright tells you "This is true" and "this isn't true" with almost any of its events. Was sacrificing all those cows doing something? Is not achieving grain variety actually angering the gods OR is it that your leaving yourself open to famine?

I would like to know if this game is still alive

Yes, Six Ages is still in development.

I'm not surprised its taking this long. In the original it had something like 6 novel worth of words or something like that. Mechanically the game is pretty simple, or at least the first one was.

Welcome to Bay12 Alakoring! I've been posting on the dev blog a bit. I really enjoy the posts over there. There's not a lot of detail about the game in the posts, but more about the process of making the game and considerations to be had. They're worth a read.

Can't wait for Six Ages, it's still like the best gaming news I've had in years.

Oh huh, somebody already made a thread for this? PTW.

Not only did someone already make a thread, you'd already posted in it.

We seem to have two threads going at once, so cross-posting in both so we can hopefully decide on one.

This one's the dead/dying one.

[hops]

Yeah, my thread was made as a response to this one being dead...

[alakoring]

Spelling matters…

(Having fixed at least one typo in Six Ages today…)
