    Speaking about Ukrainian gamedev. Game I wish to revisit some day. The Precursors. It's amazing how much in common visually it has with Borderlands... Yet they came out in the same 2009 year.

    Oh my, there was a canceled "AC with flying ships" project 🤗 "The idea was apparently to create a game about the Precursors—a sort of vertical Black Flag where you could explore islands floating in the sky at the helm of a genuine flying ship."

    starfield was a return to form after fallout and skyrim's abortive attempts at polished, anglicized game design. not since ukrainian studio deep shadows's 2009 classic The Precursors has a space rpg been so ruthless in its pursuit of slavjank excellence

    Whereas the story in the first game it was mostly just seen in the pre-campaign briefings, here it's definitely more involved, with a heavy focus on humor. The basic premise is that you play as a young prodigy captain, finding an odd ship left behind by an ancient race called the Precursors.

    10. Oulipo: A Primer of Potential Literature, ed. by Warren F. Motte Jr. A book not to finish, but to load into your brain. Algorithms and literature’s open multiverse. Precursors to AI. Experimental mindsets. Is the game the most important thing?

    Hoping you guys can add a Crisis selector at Game Start similar to the Precursors. Personal opinion too if you guys can give Cosmogenesis ships Fallen Empire ship audio/ambience sounds 🙏

    Ukranian low budget far cry, pretty much. I also saw a friend playing one of that dev's other game, The Precursors, it's similar but a scifi setting
