Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The Standalone release is Windows only, but I can confirm it works just fine with Proton in steam after adding it as a non-steam game.

Alternatively, you can download the .Pk3 version, which allows you to run it natively through the Linux version of GZDoom.

Really recommend giving it a try, it's a fantastic little game with a lot of effort put into it. The gunplay feels great, the environments and art are awesome, and the level design is solid.

The sequel (Ashes: Afterglow) is even better. I'm not saying 2063 is bad or anything, far from it, but the sequel is just showing how much they learned on the original. Both are worth your time, and the third is in dev currently.

Blackwater is actually a fan mod of Ashes. It remixes levels and weapons, as well as tuning for difficulty. Haven't tried it yet, but it does look fun. The third/end of Ashes is Death Zone. But there is a lot of stuff being made by a lot of talented devs in the Ashes scene. It's pretty neat.

Oh, cool! I had no idea this was a shared universe thing that others were contributing to. Looks like there's yet another fan project called Ashes: Epoch, a prequel to the first game.

Man, tons of great stuff going on with that world.
