I played through Monster Loves You! a few times after getting it in the Humble Bundle, and Tiny Keep as well. Both are pretty fun, good if you've got a half hour or so to blow. Gave RPG-MO a try, but only got through the tutorial. I'll have to put some more time into it to really see what it's like but it's got promise as a very retro sort of experience. Otherwise I've taken another crack at Legend of Grimrock, to see if I can actually beat it this time. Still in the more familiar early floors, but I'd forgotten how absorbing the game can be. Really wish Grimrock 2 would get a Linux port so I can move on to that.

I've had my eye on this for quite a while, pretty much since the Towns debacle. This is one of the games that was recommended as a possible successor that looked promising. Certainly it's got a much better dev involved.

So another "pay to be competitive" if not outright pay-to-win card game? I wonder if they'll have anything in place to make it worth the trouble of casual players, or ones who aren't heavy spenders?

Just adding that the DRM-free download version of Monster Loves You! works perfectly on my system. The dev, Andy Moore, replied to a comment I made about not being able to run the Steam version as follows:

QuoteWe forgot to throw the big red switch on the Linux version before the Humble bundle started, so sorry about that! You should see things begin to sort themselves out over the next few days.

Quoting: pbMonster Loves You! is marked as available on steam for Linux but it isn't. No Tux/SteamOS logo in the shop, doesn't show up in the library and doesn't download.

Apparently the Linux version is in the beta branch. From what I gather, you have to go to the Betas tab under game properties in Steam and choose "Experimental". Others say they've gotten it to work, but I'm still getting a missing executable error. If I can't get it to work, I'll give the DRM free version a try.

I got this a while back, and I've been sitting on it waiting for the Director's Cut version to come out. Glad to finally get a date, and that the wait is somewhat justified.

First look at the trailer a day or two ago had me convinced this was another cynical "everything is kind of awful but with a thin verneer of nice" sort of thing, but glad to see it's something different from that. I like the idea of a kindness-based game honestly, and hope it does well.

Been playing around with the game this week, there's definitely more that needs to be added. There needs to be a game difficulty between Easy and Holy Crap Zombies for one. More stuff to build would be nice too, it seems like you're very limited in structures at this point. But it's coming along and some of the stuff on the roadmap look pretty cool.

And the graphics really reminds me a lot of Lemmings. Anyone else seeing that?

Quoting: Ilya

Quoting: KelsNot a Day One purchase though. Cradle taught me not to trust.

Could you explain why, I haven't got Cradle, but I'm thinking about it.

See my earlier comment about FoV. If I'd gotten it Day One, I wouldn't have known about it before buying and probably ended up sickened by it. The devs don't seem to have taken this into account and are now taking the "this is the best for our game" excuse, which is clearly just a justification for a bad design choice that they don't want to fix.

Nice to see more games that I bought before I switched to Linux are going to be appearing in my Steam library. Still going to stick with Crea when it comes to 2D standboxes though, since I'm a lot more invested in that project.
