The game is powered by the Unity Engine and the team has just released the game’s first tech demo. This tech demo demonstrates a work-in-progress animation system that physically simulates the character’s body and it’s reactions to objects, impacts, falls and so on."
1RBC: This week in gaming, Starforge was abandoned by its developers, details about the pricing of the Nintendo Switch's online multiplayer service were unveiled, ZeniMax has been awarded $500 million in their lawsuit against Oculus VR and Namco founder Masaya Nakamura has passed away- all this and more on this week's episode of 1RBC Gaming Weekly.
Games developer Code Hatch has pulled their game StarForge from Steam and released a free DRM-free version of the title on their website.
Gale writes - "Basically, this is what happens when you’re not careful with the way you’re developing your game. While I have no intention on going into the matters of the developers themselves, I have to say that they clearly went way over their heads with this project. What started out as an incredibly potent project everybody talked about, turned into an Early Access nightmare, with patches removing interesting features and bugging the game further into oblivion. It’s important for you to understand that there was once a time when Starforge looked absolutely amazing, deal-breaking even."
