Played the demo for A Dark Cave!
A really interesting Incremental game that reminds me of Frostpunk and Rouge

saw someone describe old Monster Hunter as cavepunk and they're so right

I remember the first time I played Tri on the Wii, and I thought it was really cool how the main village was doing tropical cavepunk low-fantasy, but then when you visit the multiplayer city it's like bronze age steampunk.

Time to return to cave paintings and fur loincloths. Stonepunk. Cavepunk.

Well if I ever get around to getting the rough draft out of my head and onto paper, I'm "working on" a prehistoric d6 pool ttrpg called "Cavepunk!"

Cavepunk maybe? I like stonepunk too.

I was already mixed on how 5th and 6th gen MH moved away from cavepunk low fantasy and added slightly more traditional medieval/steampunk-lite fantasy into the mix. Now Stories 3 seemingly is all-in on the knights and castles vibe, and it's just not clicking for me.

I like the cavepunk aesthetic of mainline MH, but I would do horrific things to see a big traditional MH look like this. The next game from the B-team, maybe? I'm not delusional if I hold out hope, right?

or I heard a streamer named Pat Boivin describe Monster Hunter as "Cavepunk" and it made sense.

And the fact that it was something I understood hit me like a sack of potatoes like "what are we even doing here"

Subterranean Fiction sounds interesting, as long as its not rebranded as Cavepunk.

( You see what I mean though, not everything needs to be punk. Or metal for that matter. )

Yes #cavepunk or #lunarpunk? I guess I can see someone's point if they said that.

Both are distinct from Steampunk or Cyberpunk in that they can theoretically be set in either a Steampunk or Cyberpunk world.

The only requirement is the planet is to hostile to live directly on the surface.

That will be kelppunk and if an interviewer calls it cavepunk, I will simply hex them (being by that point, I assume, an unusually adept sea-witch or ocean-hag).

Cavepunk, like monster hunter :>

To the point that they both have heavily colonialist elements to them, which fucking sucks
MH to me is cavepunk, human/wyverian influence is small, and barely clinging to survival, but trying to improve things regardless, world/wilds seems to envision it more as medieval or sci fantasy colonialism.

Will that be cavepunk or kelppunk?

Is the Flintstones the first example of (x)punk. You could certainly call it cavepunk.
