Delayed to January 8th, following Valve's advice to not overlap with Christmas sale (it would hurt greatly our visibility on the store)

Yep, one of the signs of Gehenna revealed: Archaelund Early Access coming out.

Honest and sincere question, I believe you understand historical context in which we all live: How Many Genders?

David is no stranger to how people behave on this forum. I think he was a member even before releasing his first game? Granted, it's gotten much worse over the past few years.

Has it gotten worse? I've been around since before my official join date, and things were always "interesting" around here.

It's part of why the codex has the reputation it does.

It's much more ubiquitous across the forum, with - it seems - a higher number of users being particularly on the aggressive side.

From my perception, yes, the past several years have gotten more extreme. Maybe started ramping up a bit more around 2016 or so.

Why? It's 100% legitimate question. Would you say the same if I asked for 99 genders? Or would you just continue hypernormalisation of insanity?

Having male/female gender selection in character maker is best litmus test we have whether game is WOKE! and shit

Third gender option GUARANTEES Game Devs making further WOKE! consentions to game design and story telling. It's stepping stone to Hell. It doesn't stop there. WOKE! never stops. Until it hits The Wall

I'm not sure if you are following news and have habit of leaving your house and time bubble of Early 2000s/80s, but World has eXtremely changed. And not for better. Less then 5 years ago, You From 5 Years Ago would call me Normal and call You From Now insane

Two genders most likely anyway.

Past few years? No, it really did not. Just the subject of what is being talked changed a bit. More about games being woke, less about Witcher and Skyrim being bad. If there is change for the worse, it's a gradual one and exist since mid 2000s - not "over few past years".

BTW, The Wall question IS legitimate. There are people who don't play games with more than two "genders", bear sex, and so on. I know - what douchebags, right? But here we are. It IS a matter of interests on this forum whether you want it or not. Even if someone, let's say, is not interested in seeing the wider ramification - game being woke or not makes practical difference. It changes how the story is written, the characters and so on.

I don't usually trust many news sources, and things are generally fine around my area when I leave my house - which is on the daily, I know it's hard to believe.

I have my feelings on both sides of the matter, both against and in support of. If I'm ever having a conversation about it, I usually find it to be much more fruitful to take an even hand, as I believe there's more opportunity for understanding to be born of the interaction that way on both sides. I know I'm a minority in that around here, and accept it.

Carry on.

Archaelund is not focused at all in the personal relationships with NPCs, much less romance or sex. Any sex-scenes will have to happen in the player's head, together with what the party had for breakfast, if they farted or not, etc. There's a choice between male or female sex for each of your party members, and again the player is free to imagine whatever identity as wished for the characters beyond their biology. Not my business.

It's always the same people that complain that everything is about gender nowadays, who bring up the subject every time :-D

But an important question now, in this day and age, will we get a stable 30 fps at 1080p resolution with DLSS enabled on Archaelund using a 4090 and 24GB of VRAM?

January 8th....
I'm Davidbval and I'm the developer of the game Archaelund. I'm here to talk to you about the performance issues that some players are experiencing.

I know that the game doesn't run perfectly right now, and I apologize for that. But I want to assure you that we're working hard to fix the performance issues. We're also not limiting ourselves to a 30 FPS target. We want to get the game running as smoothly as possible for all players.

However, I also want to say that a 30 FPS target is acceptable for a roleplaying game. Unlike multiplayer shooters, there is no real benefit to having a higher frame rate in a roleplaying game. In fact, as your game becomes more complex, it will inevitably become CPU bound. What matters more is to avoid stutters and have a responsive UI. Our simulation is built around an expected update rate of 30 FPS.

We decided to launch the game in its current state because we believe that it's more unfair to postpone the game than to release it now and fix the performance issues later. We know that some players are having problems, but we also know that many players are enjoying the game. We didn't want to make the players who are enjoying the game wait any longer.

We're committed to making Archaelund the best game it can be. We'll continue to work on improving performance and fixing any other issues that players find. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Regarding the 30FPS target on a 4090 with 24GB of RAM, I can say that this is not ideal. We are aware of this issue and are working on improving performance for high-end hardware.

In the meantime, there are a few things that you can do to improve performance on your system:

Make sure that your drivers are up to date.
Close any unnecessary programs that are running in the background.
Set the game's graphics settings to medium or low.
Try running the game in fullscreen mode.
We appreciate your feedback and we are working hard to make Archaelund the best game it can be. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
