  Retro-indie gamers are absolutely eating this generation

  What an enchanting game this is. I’ve never made it that far but the world building is simply superb. Recently started playing it again on my Steam Deck and it plays wonderfully.

  Live and drink friend!

    Do you mean handheld or while docked with m&k? I didn’t think it had gamepad controls.

      Handheld, I don’t use the SD docked.

  Now if people suck at this game, we can say “git qud”

    git: 'qud' is not a git command. See 'git --help'

  Am I the only one bothered by the half of an acronym? Like either call it sci-fa or science-fantasy…

  Why even shorten the science at that point?

    I previously wasn’t bothered by it, but you’re totally right. I can’t unsee it now. It’s wrong and I’m now bothered by it.

    I’m not too particularly bothered by that, I’m more bothered by the fantasy part of it. It’s not really like story fantasy trope, but a post-apocalyptic sci-fi stuff being fantastical is kind of a given, isn’t it?

      Tbh, I didn’t even look at the game itself, I was too distracted by the title.

  Still don’t know how you pronounce it, “Could” “Kwud”?

  source

  • Chet_Awesomelad@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    As others have said, it's pronounced "kud". The name for the in-game plant qudzu, is based on a real life plant called kudzu.

      A satisfying answer! Saints bless you, Chet Awesomelad! waving as you fly off

    It’s pronounced “gif”

    I say “kood”.

      Saw a panel discussion where the devs called it “kuhd”. I refuse to surrender. It will always be caved of “could” in my heart 😮‍💨.

  I was looking for something like dwarf fortress adventure mode or cataclysm dark days ahead and this is as close as I could find.

  Sacrifices a lot of the smaller details of CDDA by being easier to play (not a bad trade off necessarily). You’ll still die a million times in Qud though.

  I've tried this before but couldn't really get into it, anybody know of a good newbie guide for the current version?

  • Jaysyn@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Here is one.

    And a few more on the official wiki.

  Shame that mods are restricted to steam only.
