Rust

Everyone has.

And for me, this is how important for me this is because I've always said with games like Rust and Scum and all of the other that have tried to beat a DayZ market, DayZ is still the best survival game out there by a long way, in my opinion.

But the base building has always let us down in terms of official stuff.

So for me, this could be revolutionary here.

I love

it.

I like that because I've been playing Rust a bit lately and they've got a mechanic in there where this wall was damaged, you can't repair it for 30 seconds or so and It's a gameplay mechanic and it works for their game, but I don't think that would work for something like DayZ.

I like that it's more a case of, well, if you're unlucky enough that they're online and you're raiding, that's something you...

We're going apples to oranges here with that.

I think I played too much Rust.

Because in Rust, the only way you can play in a Premiere server is to have provenly spent $15 on shit to prove you're legit in it to play the game, not just to go in there and start trouble.

So you can see all the Premiere servers, you just can't join them.

And then you have all the other servers.

Now go on Steam's numbers and look at the number of players that play Rust and compare that to Forefront.

But yeah, I mean.

Forefront doesn't have the room with their player count to start to segment them away like that.

Yeah.

I mean, there's, there's people that are really into these kind of games, like Rust and all that kind of stuff, so you can kind of see where people would enjoy it.

Yeah.

And like I say, it's, it's quite a big scope type of game for obviously what it is.

I don't know how big the worlds are on that Rust, but the, the one in this seems like I haven't even explored like a, a quarter of it really.

Hmm.

Interesting.

I think

Rust could be really interesting.

I'd say Rust.

Yeah, like someone waking up on the beach and having to survive.

Oh, I've heard that premise before.

I think the devs underestimate the power of...

It's just free advertisement.

I know Rust recently did an update to add more replay tools to make cinematics better and stuff.

You have to have a firm direction to go for it to be a successful game.

um i'd use rust as a prime example of this if you go pull up these steam charts like on steam db for rust and you compare it to a game like fallout for example that does have mods rust kicks its ass and fallout has like a tv adaptation that you can see in your in your in your player graph You know, they both have mods, but on one hand, the team at Facepunch that's working on Rust is deliberate in how they do partnerships with mods, how they do partnerships with server owners.

They do all these things in a way that really is focusing on a business of like, how do we do more with this IP? And it has to be hand in hand.

It has to be deliberate and has to be planned.

Yeah, yeah.

I was just been back playing Rust.

[laughs] I've been, I've been playing, um, The Show 26.

It's free on the PlayStation still.

I, uh- It's actually, um, really good ...

I had ARK running on the PlayStation the other day.

I had footy on me phone whilst playing Rust on the computer.

Yeah, I know.

The concept of PAL World is based on ARK Survival Evolved, which also had monster companions in the dinosaurs, and obviously the tech tree and things like that are all very clearly from that side of games.

The survival mechanic and in-game tasks were inspired by Rust, and RimWorld was also cited as a major inspiration.

The thing is...

There are no new ideas in the world.
