Spiritual successor?

Post by Dora »

I recently found out about Underlight thanks to JoshStrifeHayes' video on it and the idea of having a game with heavy emphasis on roleplay and player-created content seems very appealing to me. I would like to get involved in Underlight, however, there is one small issue which I believe is no secret to any of us: the tragically low player-count. Gone, I assume, are the days where a new player can join the game at any time of day and be greeted by an active player-base of veterans and newbies alike together with whom one can to learn about, grow with, and eventually contribute to the community lore and by extention the game as a whole. Therefore I wonder: Are there any games out there which can provide a similar experience now to Underlight in its early days?

One thing that was unfortunately missed for Josh's video (likely due to time constraints) is that there is an active player base, it just has a primary window of 5-7pm PST, give or take a couple hours in either direction. If that happens to line up with your gaming schedule, you can jump in and have a great time. If you mostly play at other times of day, you'll see something closer to what Josh saw.

As for a spiritual successor, I don't really have anything to add there. I've not found another game that's all that similar to early Underlight.

Thank you for your reply! Sadly that's in the middle of the night for me and I need to be really careful with my sleep-schedule.
