It looked dumb at first. I didn't know what the premise was, but just when I was about to close it, it got bigger and better. Now, I want to buy it.

it may be fun to play for a bit, but not this OMG GAMEZ WILL NEVAR BE TEH SAME!!!111ELEVENTY-BILLION thing that people are making it out to be. i personally think will wright is either, slowly losing his touch, slowly going insane, or both. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

That doesn't mean it won't be a good, if not great, game.

That game does look really cool, I'd actually consider buying it instead of d/ling it.

I'm a microbiology major, looks fun to me
Someone tell me what "procedurally generated" means, in layman's terms. The guy says it 13,302,483,932 times but never explains it. From what I gather it decides how things in the game will move/look on-the-fly or something like that? |
