Well, you have to grow vegetation to attract animals (they won't come until you have reached a certain porportion of vegetation on the map). Vegetation simply grows as soon as you have a village with fertile earth nearby (extending progressively). Can be very tricky as maps with Firetrees might screw you hard if you grow vegetation next to them, burning everything up to you village (if you don't take some precautions).

I was zoomed in on an old guy and watched him die. He fell down and kind of turned into a poof of dust. =/

Some quick first impressions.MNC said:Yeah sorry. but since there was talk about it and all.. It's not steamworks, it's about GMG's Capsule. But we've had cross client/site/DD service conversation in this thread before.

There's no display options at all, save for the resolution and refresh rate :/
Strangely enough, it did display my graphics card in the options, in a way that meant I would be able to switch through graphics card, if I had multiple of them. Mouse control with the "Breath" (your cursor) feels odd, like an RTS camera. If you stay near the edge of the screen, your cursor keeps moving. Other than that I get a solid 30 fps on my laptop on "full".

Leaked and cracked it seems. smh Ubisoft, reduction in piracy my ass.

Dunno what more there is to add? Ubisoft claim their DRM reduces piracy yet the game has leaked already. I fail to see how it reduces piracy.MNC said:

I don't know of any game ever that hasn't been cracked that people care about, Ubisoft and every other publishers DRM only ever effects paying customers. Apparently there isn't even a 'new' crack for From Dust, it's just the same crack from the Heroes VI beta. I wonder if Ubisoft is so oblivious that they don't even know that that beta was cracked, and used literally the exact same DRM in From Dust?

Haven't played it since I got frustrated with the first level where there is lava.
All i need to know is if the PC controls are good and i may double dip.

I am picking it up today off steam. It is interesting to note that they recommend using a gamepad.

hmm...doesnt sound too good..I have the xbox version and while I like the game, the controls are cumbersome, so I preordered the Steam version thinking this is the type of game meant for the PC.
But if they really suggest a gamepad over a mouse for the PC version then this game is screwed, also those images looks just they do on the xbox...was hoping for some IQ settings or something.
my quick impressions, haven't beat the game yet but i'm on about 3/4 in i guess.
- First of all, the game is enjoyable, level design is good, technically great but with some flaws
- Playing on PC, the controls feels janky, feeling like a control mapping straight port from the console version.
- The path finding of the AI...it's frustrating at times when they are stuck right in front of the goal building or some other places. This gets more frustrating at later stages where you are using all the skills to prevent them from dying from lava/ water and they just reward your hard work by getting stuck and screaming for help. They might not be able to find the best route you intended for them to get through, especially at times where they got washed away.

From Day 1 to Day Never. How fucking hard is it to put in a proper control scheme? Just embarrassing.
There are a lot of fun puzzles with fairly obvious solutions. Some of them require more precise control (Drill.)Cimarron said:
Skip Sacrifice -_-
Attempt the Sacrifice challenge when you are calm and have plenty of patience. Sacrifice is basically the final test on whether or not you have mastered the controls. It may take some time. After beating it I could not understand my trouble with the level.

Ugh, you can't be serious. Please tell me you're lying.
I was so excited for this game and really liked the Xbox demo, but hated its sluggish-ass controls.
If the mouse is just emulating the right analogue stick, then it's going to suck ass.
I was pumped to buy this today, but I think I'll wait and see if they patch it.
DoctorPayne said:
Same thing happened to me with Dungeon Siege 3. That shit was just infuriating. They didn't even try with that game. Just remapped control pad functions to various buttons on mouse and keyboard. Was pretty much unplayable without a 360 pad.
Oh wow... Why do I even keep buying PC ports without trying them first. This is a TERRIBLE PC port...
-Controls are absolute crap, i'm sorry but they are.
-Locked 30 fps? REALLY?
-NO graphics options at all that i can find, there is no AA and i couldn't seem to force it through ncp either (didn't try much yet though)
-Menu assets and everything looks pretty bad in 1080p, all uprezzed
Aww man, and I was looking forward to this :/

Well, I'll give them one thing, at least they made the decision of whether or not to buy it easy. One or two of those problems and I might have hemmed and hawed before caving, or getting it during a Steam sale. But managing to fill in every single field of the crappy port checklist? No thanks.
epmode said:
Not really... Brotherhood has (or had, dunno if it was fixed) some MAJOR flickering issues on a lot of graphics cards.
Oh, and another annoyance to add to the list. It's not a big deal but it doesn't make it OK either.
When you launch the game it launches a ubisoft pre-launch thing where you have to login into their Uplay crap and then launch the game...

Second last map SUCKS
This game is a god damn bummer. Controls are bad, it looks bad on a 1080p monitor and there are no graphic options beyond choosing your res and refresh rate and oddly enough what graphics card you want the game to use. I recommend people wait it'll the Xmas sale on steam where it will probably be 7.50 and hopefully patched.
just loaded it up on pc and within the first minute all i could think was "why would you do this to me, do you know im using a mouse, what is wrong with ye people"
the pc controls are awful, i played the demo on xbox and it felt so much better and as a pc gamer mainly i dont often think that
Edit: using wasd and only using mouse for left and right click is a bit better but quite slow, i hope this is just something i have to get used to

It's a shame for you PC gamers as the game is really good and plays great (well on Xbox). Too bad they kinda had to screw you guys over on this one unfortunately. Though I'm still holding out hope it still keeps selling well and we get an announcement for some DLC.
