deathwings51: This looks very similar to Curios Expeditions and Renowned Explorers. I am all for it.
exactly my idea: it looked familair :D but couldnt remember the names now i know why i had a feeling of deja vu.
btw 8 GB ram = a lot for a game that gave me the first impression was developed using RPG game maker the way the npc move and many more remind me of rpg maker games, or at least a unity build game :D


8 GB here max 16 gb possible for win7 64 bit, only have 8 because well they ware the last modules otehrwise i had 16 gb, thats why i want at least 16 gb for my win 10 pc and a mobo that can handle at least 32 gb cause i hate low ram, and iwant as much as i can afford which is 16 gb,

Anyway today they need high req. for games looking like adbanced AMIGA games but with millions of colour , thats all. i am sure 90% of all indy games and other small developers games ( not talking about AAA games) can lower the min req and the rec. req, and cut in ram i mean common 8 GB :D thats too funny to read....

TentacleMayor: Strategy-RPG, pixel art, obvious Indiana Jones influence, runs on my craptop.

Vainamoinen: Your craptop has 8 GB of RAM? Because my deskturd hasn't.

But this just has to be a cruel typo. Trying to get confirmation from the developers.
8 gb thats a nice laptop ;D most people i know have one with 4 or so.
nice laptop.

buddhameeple: Graphics look cool but 8Gb RAM seems like an overkill...

Hollyhock: Yep.

I hate when "retro style" 2D pixelart games end up requiring a modern computer, by overusing shiny graphical effects, choosing a resources hungry engine, or God knows why.

I enjoyed Halfway quite much. I love the concept and looks of this game and I would have bought it on launch day. But my laptop won't be able to run it and my desktop PC will probably have trouble with it.

I really hope they add a "low graphics" option that alleviates system requirements. Meanwhile, I'll pass.
same here game looks pretty good but tehre are too many buts:

- the exploding bits and eye hurting effects,
- looks like made with RPG maker or similar tool
-, the map the way the chars move ....- i guess 98% its developed with unity , i prefer custom engines cause i have bad experiecene with unity and i know for sure that even a latest i5 with a better gpu win 10 and lost of ram wont make uniy games run better.

Ashnak: Regarding 8GB:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/546430/discussions/0/1812044473320449397/

Frankly, especially in the light of ever dropping RAM-prices, I have zero sympathy for the complaint.
dropping ? where ? do not for get their are more then only a few countries, maybe they have cheap ram..... others have not. and maybe you think 100 euro for 8 gb isnt much, i do think it is much, but manytimes we have some actions and then we get it for 140 euro for 16 gb ram and that is an okay pirce.

Anywayeveryone is allowed to reply and even to complaint, just like evryone is allowed to have zero sympathy for the complaint.(s)

:D

mintee: they could have left off the shady inidana jones without licensing plagiarism (even the voice over lol) as the game looks really nice and decent on its own standing, seems like there is lots to do without it being too much of a learning curve hassle.
exactly my thought... i will skip only based on a few things, has nothing to do with being a bad game cause it looks pretty good and funny ... it is mainly because of effects used and 8 gb ram ? omg

EDIT:

recomm.
2.0+ Ghz QuadCore CPU

well thats more like it maybe the old quadcore2.66 ghz is usefull to run it.

but a NVIDIA Geforce 660 for graphics like this, i thought the CPU would do the bulk of the work ?:D i read it many times in as many posts all over the internet. :D

Anyway i DO need a demo first fact there is no demo makes me ?:D, and NO alpha demo :D

Low graphic option won´t help in ram memory usage. The graphics requirements are quite low, Intel hd 4000 series.
I am pretty sure I can run it on my atom x5 tablet with 4Gb of ram memory.
Damn just saw the 8GB requirement. I hope its not a hard check as in the game refuses to run without it. If it is, then it is a very poorly optimized game.

Although I hope that the hard check wont be there so that me and many others can run it on their laptops etc or low end machines. As long as memory leaks don't happen the game should not crash. Keeping fingers crossed

According to the steam thread linked by Ashnak, the game itself eats about 4GB of RAM. As your Operating System needs some RAM too, they announced 8BG minimum to be on the safe side.

The hardcheck should be around 4GB, not 8GB.

The game can't run on 4GB machines, it might run on 6GB machines as long as you close the browser and don't have too much crapware around, and it will just work normally on 8GB machines.

Oh, and as Dark_art_ said, minimal settings won't alleviate RAM consumption, because mah voxels engine.

Still, this looks better than I had initially thought.

I wouldn't run windows with less than 8. 4 for the OS itself. And someone questioned the ever lowering of ram prices. In the US, it has drastically been reduced. I know, because I just went to price some ram for a new build because my old desktop has crapped out. The chart on prices for ram looks like Mount Everest. The slope is dropping steeply downward. Can get Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2400 _16_ GBytes for 40 dollars.

So I agree with the guy that has little sympathy. And thats DDR4, 16 GB name brand and the difference between 2400 and 3200 probably isn't that noticeable. What I mean is, you can probably get DDR3 8GB offbrand at next to nothing right now. I haven't checked. wait, I will check... Ok, well, I guess they can't bring the price down much more than that. $35 for 8 GB of DDR3. Still $40 isn't a huge investment and most anyone that owns a computer should be able to afford it by saving or picking up an odd job (mowing a lawn). Its the single most noticeable thing you can do for your rig. The difference between having enough to barely run your OS and having a gig to spare is real world noticeable.

And my laptop from about 4-5 years ago at $600 has this for mem: 8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28).

That said, I don't use my laptop to game much anymore. I once did, but the heat killed it before its time. Therefore, on my laptop I play low graphics intensive games. TOME, Low Magic Age, FTL,Sanctuary RPG, Reigns, UNEpic, etc. Not because it can't run it, but the heat factor. So I understand wanting a configuration to run in low graphic states. But not because of memory requirements.

Machines with modern OSes rarely run smoothly with 4GB RAM. Especially gaming rigs, even lower end ones.
looks nice but the use of the phrase "that was only just the beginning" has me concerned for the writing...
Just a quick remark, not every pc has removable ram sticks, altough no one has to buy the game, obviously.

Edit: most OS can be strip down to use less ram. My 8.1 desktop use ~700Mb after turning on, is 2.3Gb at the moment with steam open, firefox with 10 tabs and opera with 4 tabs. If ram size is smaller than required by the computer, it will use drive space (HDD or SSD).

Day one!!!!!!
Missed Halfway because no translation (french), i wouldn't make same mistake on Pathway...Thanks GOG!!!
Ahh yes, the paging system. I had nearly forgotten that tech. It was a big deal back in the day, and I guess in some cases, with Windows using so much ram, it can be an issue in some cases.

Anyway, if your interested in maxing effieciency of it:
