Resident Reddit: The Doctoring of the Who® Remake

[rusty_shackleford]

A game nobody played got a remake 3 years later and it peaked at 1 concurrent player on Steam.


There does not seem to be a single full playthrough on YouTube. @Tweed should get on it.

Sony should buy the studio.

For some odd reason the environments remind of Revolution 60

Me too, playa.

[rusty_shackleford]

The writing in this game is some of the best I've ever seen

[Jordy]

That's an ordinary callbox. Is this intentional because of copyright?

[Vergil]

Me too, playa.

Looks like he's got a little sugar in his tank.

They recently introduced advanced DRM into the game to prevent any piracy attempts
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app ... 3110673551

Due to efforts to combat recenty piracy attempts, Spacefarer R&D are including Digital Rights Management in The Dawning Clocks of Time Remake. We have every right to protect the integrity and IP of our video game software.

What the DRM does do;
-Upon every launch of the game, it checks with Steam that the game is authorised and owned by the player. If authenticated successfully, the game will launch as usual. This takes a second or two, but it's usually instant. As soon as the game launches, the DRM exits.
-Notify the user if the check fails, and will not launch the game if the check fails.
-Provides executable level tampering protection, modification and prevents cracking the software and introducing potential security threats.

What the DRM does NOT do;
-Collect any player information
-Report back or 'phone home'
-Cause any bugs or performance issues.
-Modify anything on your PC.
-Use any kind of Anti-Cheat, device driver or kernel level space.
-Impose any kind of time restriction or require a constant connection to the internet to continue playing.

In the future, all updates to the Steam edition of The Dawning Clocks of Time Remake and future software products from Spacefarer on Steam will include the Spacefarer DRM. It is our own in-house solution that protects from executable modification and tampering. You can be rest-assured that releases that contain the DRM are the genuine software from us and not from unauthorised redistrubuters.

Thank you for your continued support.

You can acquire the game on GOG at 80% off for a limited time!

I'm holding out for the re-remake personally.

I was able to redeem a giveaway key posted to their Discord over 2 years ago. Looks like all of the Dawning Clock ones are taken though.

[Unhelpful Contrarian]

Why remake a game when the original sold like dogshit. Might as well pull your effort making a new game that has the potential to sell better.

I've never met a (male/******) Dr. Who fan that didn't lust for some strap-on action.

What a curious thing to say

Well, did you oblige them?
