That said - if I know anyone who's actively working with Nanite Foliage in 5.7 (or if anyone knows of someone else, could you share this?) - I would love to exchange tips and tricks.
Especially about handling shitloads of bones, or if you're using SpeedTree. (or converting ST trees efficiently)

The comments about Kromlech that annoy me the most are not "more UE5 slop" (because...ok. I honestly don't love working with the engine.), it's the "just another generic medieval rpg".
Bro, there are SO FEW sword and sorc or barbarian games.

tldr one thing you can do easily to help indies is tick the helpful button under some reviews you agree with. The system requires this - but why would anyone do it?! I have no idea

Also the fact that you can also post a review with like 5mn of playtime too... This obliterated the game I was previously working on, it snowballed so hard that at the end there was nothing else to do

One negative review killed Pendragon. It was posted within hours of release: a detailed "objective" explanation of why they didn't connect with it.
But it's ticked as helpful by passing people *who have not played the game*. This keeps it pinned to the top.
It's longer than our description text.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

Kromlech will be releasing on UE 5.7 (heavily modified, kind of a hybrid nanite vegetation system for now) and we're working hard to make it run as well as we can.
I might go into more detail after release.
But man, it's scary to read the backlash to Half-Sword "only running 50 fps". -___-
