Probably because there’s no details and it probably won’t be out for years.
I was hoping for a new DLC announcement at least.

Shocking the article left out the last surprising note on the update blog: Ludeon Studios says Rimworld isn’t the only game running on the new, homemade Waylith engine. 😉

There are rumors it’s based on the engine that Kitten Space Agency’s (spiritual successor to Kerbal Space Program) devs develop. So it would be that other game.

Those are two games with extremely different needs…

From what I understand, BRUTAL (the thing that KSA devs made) is not a typical game engine. It’s very low level and more of a set of tools and libraries to make a game and its engine with, without completely reinventing the wheel. It doesn’t restrict game devs in any way and aims to give them maximum freedom (e.g. it doesn’t even have a concept of a “scene” that all engines like Unity or Unreal have). Obviously this also makes it very complicated to use compared to Unity, but makes it possible to custom-tailor it to any game and use case.
This is especially important for a game like KSA that doesn’t fit into Unity’s model at all, but I guess it also provides some benefits for RimWorld.

They’re both projects moving away from Unity and to something more tailorable to their needs at a lower level, so it’s not all that strange, really.

Dean confirmed on the KSA discord that they licensed BRUTAL (the framework that KSA’s engine is built upon) to Ludeon for Waylith.

Don’t do that to me. Don’t give me hope.

Not a single of their dlc has spoken to me or my play style. So a new game sounds great to me.

Ideology is my favorite, I couldn’t imagine playing without it

Playing without Ideology is crazy, you’re missing out on so much RP

It’s so funny to be that Rimworld is basically copied straight from Dwarf Fortress all the way up to Ideology. Then they start coming up with their own content and everyone hates it.

I have it. I didn’t finish a single playthrough since.
Kyrias@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I’ve dodged a couple (Royalty and Anomaly) but all appreciate they put the effort in.

I wonder which games they will blatantly rip off this time
