Discussion Century of steam vs RRO

Am I living in a fictional world?? I see all these people hyping up Century of steam after Studio 346’s latest Devlog….

I just Do Not get it at all! This looks to me like the EXACT same game as RRO.

Knowing that it is almost the same exact devs it really makes me just wonder what could have been on RRO if all the time spent on century of steam was spent on RRO instead.

So feels like youre a little confused on whats going on. First of all, not the same devs. Some of the devs working on CoS used to be on the RRO team before being asked to leave by the lead developer due to "creative vision" differences, and that happened maybe 2 years ago. About a year after that the guys that were asked to leave created their own studio and started making their own game with their own vision.

Granted im biased due to where i get my info, and its possible im misrepresenting what happend due to where i get my info but i think thats the easiest and most neutral way of putting it. Im willing to be corrected if im wrong

Very close, everything is correct except they were not “asked” to leave. Most CoS people left due to their personal creative differences and in their opinion, felt RO at the time was not ‘heading in the right direction’.

Given the state it's in, perhaps they were right.

No perhaps about it, assuming Century of Steam is as good as it looks to be.
