I wish I understood the gameplay from watching the trailer, but even at half speed I have no idea what's going on with that dial...

Never knew my country had a games industry.
Well , even an indie one.

I do believe they mentioned other developers existing in Romania, perhaps even Transylvania itself, at some point. This particular team is originally part of a mobile-focused company, though, which I feel is a market that's probably easier to get into for small companies in atypical countries than console/PC gaming dev (since mobile games usually have a smaller scope).

Quoting: NanobangI imagine that the devs of this parody are intimate with his work. Straight, so called, 'Lovecraftian' games almost universally fail to convey the deeply unsettling 'otherness' of Lovecraft's world, but I could see a parody set in a Lovecraftian setting being wildly enjoyable, especially to the fan of good 'ol H.P..

Oh, they certainly are. They've made plenty of references to his works, sung songs about Chthulu and cited it as the main inspiration for the theme. But as far as I can tell this will be a comedy/parody above all, so I wouldn't really expect it to be actually disturbing.

Backed it, they had a Linux demo from the start and I liked the style they had going :)

It's been a real passion project for them and I hope it does well after the countless extra hours they've put into it.

This is tough. I'm not that big on puzzle games, but the aesthetic and sound look extremely nice and remind me of Epistory. Will wait for reviews.

Well, a lot of people here seemed to think he was too honest.

Meanwhile I've put 20 hours in Faeria since they went buy-to-play and have been enjoying it. They have a lot more single-player content than when I first tried the beta, which is exactly what I'm interested in. The tactical positioning makes it more interesting to me than straight cards-on-a-table games.

Quoting: Mountain ManAnother scam from a scam developer. I knew this game was a bad bet when they blew through their initial Kickstarter and Early Access funds in two-years with nothing to show for it and then asked customers to double-down with a second donation so they could start again from scratch. Anybody with any sense will stay far away from this trash.

How exactly is it a scam ? They have simply discontinued Linux support.. but they havent taken away the existing Linux builds.
Or are you just throwing abuse at the developer, which um.. is exactly what he's complained about?

How is pulling support for a platform that people have paid good money for not a scam? Whatever "abuse" he has received for his history of unethical business practices is fully deserved.

Every game stops getting support at some point, though. There's nothing dishonest about it. Considering this is an online game (if I'm not mistaken), I'm pretty confident their terms of service state something to the effect that they are not liable for the availability of the service at any given moment or for any specific duration. That's an inherent risk/finality to any kind of software that doesn't run fully on your own machine.

Quoting: SalvatosPain and suffering? Because a video game isn't getting proper support? Really?

Well, I did suffer a bug and went through a pain of downgrading my Nvidia driver because of their lack of concern for testing. ;) Who said it has to be physical?

All I did in that post is shown definitions relay on the point of view and the literal treatment of words so there's no point picking holes in what somebody said when the general understanding is enough. Besides, I made part about concern bold for a reason. Don't focus on the small print.

Excuse me for being anal-retentive about definitions, but it's part of my job. If you only care about the bold part, the word you're looking for may be indifferent or uncaring. You can't just take out the part about causing pain and suffering and say it still applies. And while I'm not arguing that suffering must be physical, I certainly reckon that the situation at hand has little chance of causing any level of distress to anyone.

Quoting: F.UltraThere is nothing toxic with that, second class citizen in computer speak only means that it's a lower priority, it's not a derogatory term.

Lower priority is a derogatory term.

QuoteI am personally disappointed in Liam Dawe for his statements against those that have been victimized by Garry over a number of years.

No one has been "victimized", do you even understand the meaning of that word? No one has been singled out and Facepunch aren't being cruel.

Really? The whole platform has been singled out and has been mistreated for years. Three years of no QA?

Quoting: dictionary.comcruel /krʊəl/ adjective
1. wilfully causing pain or suffering to others, or feeling no concern about it.

Pain and suffering? Because a video game isn't getting proper support? Really?
