Mike Dolan @mikedolan.bsky.social · 02/10/2026it all unity :) the stress test seems to have passed just fine. i added a bunch of debris and shells now so need to see if it buckles again. also i need to test it with a remote client. not sure how many enemies we will have at a time for real especially trying to send that data to a client. 100

Mike Dolan @mikedolan.bsky.social · 22/02/2026Just know that for all my complaints about the way the game ended, I still put in like 40 hours of my life playing Farcry Primal and I really enjoyed it. So thank you to everyone who worked on it. It was a cool game 😀 020
Mike Dolan @mikedolan.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Urki getting new deodorant and then telling me we can get matching tattoos seemed like an odd way to finish the game...media.tenor.coma man with a beard is standing in a cave holding a sword and talking to another man .Alt: urkis new stink 010
Mike Dolan @mikedolan.bsky.social · 21/02/2026completed the game with the intended final mission...Urki's New Stink! Commence dance party. Enjoyed the game but a tad grindy in the wrong way... especially since the things that felt like side quests were required to finish and could be done out of order which sort of ruins the climax. 100
Mike Dolan @mikedolan.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Man... design flaw in Far Cry Primal... you can beat the bosses by the character side quest need to be completed before you can roll credits. Now i gotta grind out some missions i kinda didnt care about that didn't have any effect on taking down the big bads. 😤 120
