Drag has never got far in the story in this game. One fuckup you don’t notice, and an hour later your game is over. You don’t know what you’re doing wrong.
Yeah, you can delete all the logs, and they still bust you up
Man, makes me want to go back and play some Uplink. Shit’s fire!
just wanna throw in my suggestion of BitBurner in here, I think it’s a steam game now but it was a fun game I found on github where you can increase your physical and hacking skills, and slowly hack the planet™
its coding features seem pretty bland at first but I was able to create some more compex scripts and automats the majority of the game inside each rebirth system
If you feel like a more modern game, I really like https://store.steampowered.com/app/605230/Grey_Hack/
It has its own scripting engine, so you can write in-game programs to do exploits and things. It’s not super complex, but you do need to actually write code to play it well, but I really enjoy it
The old school vibe is a feature in Uplink. It’s some proper hack the planet shit
Of course, I love Uplink, my suggestion wasn’t meant to bring it down, just to provide a recco for a spiritual successor to scratch that itch
That looks awesome! I haven’t dabbled in programming since BASIC—how would I be at this game? Would it hold my hand at first? I’ve done a little bit of machine code(anssembly? The one where you only use numbers) and C++, but it’s been like 20 years.
Yeah mostly in the beginning you buy and then modify programs. So you just need to change a string value or something until you feel like exploring more. The language itself is a fork of Miniscript, so if this page doesn’t seem insurmountable you shouldn’t have any issues
Sweet, most of that completely tracks, a little bit of it will require a little learning. I’ll check that game out, thank you so much!
Definitely helps to be able to at least read and understand code. I remember the documentation being decent enough. IIRC it was a thing to provide scripts that look helpful but actually contained malicious code to do all sorts of nasty things to your in-game system. It’s really cool.
Does the in-game editor have vim keybindings and syntax highlight? I can’t work without these,
lol there is this (https://github.com/ayecue/greybel-vs) and this (https://github.com/ayecue/greybel-languageserver) for when you want to go hard on the greyhack scripting
I should be less surprised xD
Gog has you covered
it is also on steam should anyone prefer that
Oh hell yeah uplink. The first game i ever went online for. Wasnt even my native language
