Image via Freehold Games/Kitfox GamesCaves of Qud has been in some form of development since 2007 when Freehold Games began development on it. It didn't hit Steam Early Access, the PC gaming store's program for letting in-development games be sold and shaped with community feedback, until 2015, and then spent roughly nine years doing that until a 1.0 release in 2024. But Caves of Qud is, in a form, coming back to Early Access through its new DLC titled Diaspora, which is a first for Steam. Generally when a game leaves the Early Access program, it's akin to a graduation. Caves of Qud bringing new content back to the model has not been done before. It is unclear if there were specific rules prohibiting this or if simply no one ever thought to do it, but DLC content usually just launches in a 1.0 state. "I was a bit hesitant at first to be honest," Kitfox Games co-founder and head of publishing Tanya X. Short tells Game Developer. "But Jason [Grinblat] and Brian [Bucklew] were really keen to continue with the development strategy that had been so successful for the main game throughout their long Early Access.

Oppo Reno17 Leak: 200MP Camera, Launch Date and Specs - Memeburn
Oppo’s Reno17 series could launch in China as soon as November with a 200MP rear camera, according to GSMArena, but the other leaks published the same day disagree on almost everything except the timing. One says the lineup has no Pro model and uses three 50MP cameras, another describes two models with a 200MP sensor, and a third puts a different chip inside, so the only detail that looks settled is that a new Reno is coming roughly six months after the Reno16. For buyers who picked up a Reno16 this summer, that schedule matters more than any single spec. The 200MP figure is also less new than it sounds. Oppo already used a 200MP f/1.8 main camera on the Reno16 Pro, which launched in China in May alongside three 50MP cameras, a 7,000mAh battery and a Dimensity 9500s chip, according to Notebookcheck. The open question is therefore not whether Oppo can ship a 200MP Reno, but whether that sensor moves down to the standard Reno17 or stays on a Pro that one leak says may not exist.
