Was wondering if they'd run a Dustforce deal to celebrate the release of the level editor.

Is Botanicula a Steam game ? I cant fina it there, so i guess there is no Steam Key for that Humble Bundle ?

http://www.humblebundle.com/

you get a steam key if you pay $5 or more

 

[Nymerio]

Nice deal on Dustforce. I've been waiting for that one.

It's not available to buy through Steam yet, but you can still register and play it on Steam by paying $5 or more for the Humble Bundle.

If you're new to Dustforce and want to use your 360 pad, try this setup:

I posted this in the Steam thread but thought it might be useful to have here.

Recommended Xbox 360 controller button layout:

A: Jump/Confirm
B: Heavy Attack/Cancel
X: Dash
Y: Light Attack

Start: Quick Restart

Movement: Analog or D-Pad

This way you can use "A" to accept/confirm and "B" to cancel while navigating menus. Setting "Start" to quick restart will allow you to bring up the menu with the start button while in-game.

Mapping attack to "B" and "Y" allows you to easily press both buttons to initiate your AOE attack. Heavy attack on "B" keeps it close to jump so you can one-shot mid-air enemies for faster times.

"X" as Dash keeps it simple by mapping everything to the face buttons and it tends to work better since you will be tapping dash a lot to get good times.

I've been rocking it ever since, and I like it a lot.

 

[Salsa]

pretty much what i use + triggers for dash

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Dunno if it's been mentioned already, but it seems Elder scrolls games are 50% off as well. Morrowind for 9.99 could be a fine choice for people not interested in today's daily or Midweek Madness.

 

[BolognaOni]

Gosh darn it. The indie game backlog grows again...

 

[jkoch]

Dustforce and Bastion: Midweek Madness, $4.99 and $5.99.

Sweet, been waiting for a deal on Dustforce since release. I think this will only be my second game since the Christmas sale.

 

[TouchMyBox]

I added Dustforce to my wishlist yesterday.

Dustforce goes on sale today.

What game should I put on my wishlist next?

Great, thanks both of you

Tiny and Big is going to be awesome. I can't wait.

 

[JaseC]

[strikeout]Quote this and then add me on Steam for a copy of the CS:GO beta.[/strikeout]

Edit: Xamdou won, congrats!

You're in the beta, I take it? (I only ask because you're on the list.)

Didn't someone on GAF make this, or contribute? Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

 

[Suite Pee]

Gah, Morrowind is never less than ten.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but that looks pretty cool to me.

 

[Blizzard]

It's an IGF winner, apparently. Doesn't that mean it's required to have one segment of the population that passionately loves it, and another that rabidly hates it?

 

[Sanic]

Yes, I am. Sorry for not posting in the thread saying I had received an invite. Honestly, I forgot that I had ever added myself to that list.

No worries. Don't worry, it's understandable (and you're not the first ).

Looks like Borderlands-style Tatooine.

I can dig it.

Dungeons of Dredmor is getting new (free) expansion pack. Mod and Steam Workshop support. More details here.

Wasn't the Dustforce map editor supposed to come out today?

If this is sarcasm, then we need to fight.

If not, brohugs.

It looks really cool, I just thought the name was funny.

 

[morningbus]

A friend and I have been really excited since we played the beta ("episode 0") about a year ago. Totally worth checking out to see where they're going with it: http://www.tinyandbig.com/games/upthatmountain/ (Windows, Linux, & Mac binaries available)

 

[Gav47]

If you're buying Dustforce you should pick up the soundtrack, its fantastic.

 

[Nabs]

The Dustforce level editor is out now. It's amazing. http://atlas.dustforce.com/

edit: If anyone else has trouble starting up Dustforce, try verifying the cache. I had an issue where it wouldn't start up if I had the intro disabled.

 

[mrgone]

Tiny and Big seems like it could be really cool, but it also seems like it could be one of those games that require me to mentally chain up my FULLY RATIONAL hatred of hipster irony to properly enjoy. I'm starting to run out of imaginary padlocks, 2012.

It's preemptively beginning!

 

[mrgone]

It's preemptively beginning!

I don't hate the game.

PS. For anyone who wants to try it out there's a demo at www.tinyandbig.com. They don't seem to mention it explicitly, but you also have sticky rockets on the middle mouse button/right bumper. They push the way the grapple pulls.

 

[Fersis]

Sup dudes i just realized that i can download free to play games now (Got a 6Mb connection) so what do you guys recommend? Is there any F2P RTS?
Im currently downloading Team Fortress 2. (Im a total steam newbie so i dont know if this is the right thread)

Realm of the mad god is fun for a few hours unless you get really into it. Dota 2 is free and the invites aren't too hard to come across anymore. Neither are specifically an rts, but those are what I've enjoyed.

Dustforce shall now become my podcast game once again

 

[Tomodachi]

Yay, will definitely grab Dustforce.
I must say I was pretty disappointed with Bastion back in 2011, though.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

[Lingitiz]

I'll probably get killed for this but I agree too. It wasn't a bad game at all, just fell a bit flat for me. I think my expectations were probably too high though because I did play it way after release and goty talks as well.

I'm still looking forward to what Kasavin and the people at Supergiant do next. Although Bastion disappointed me, its still an insanely good job for a new indie team.

 

[Gully State]

Didn't like the gameplay of Bastion at all either (art direction and music/sound was great)...I think it was an admirable effort though..

 

[Labombadog]

I also felt the EXACT way.

Good game. Just didn't fall through as GOTY material to me.

 

[Fox318]

I really enjoyed Bastion but I can see why some people wouldn't like aspects of it.

 

[Dog Problems]

Even after playing catch up on games I missed last year, Bastion is still game of the year for me. I just loved everything about it.

 

[The Technomancer]

Bastion's highs are incredible but there were long stretches of "meh" for me. I think part of that is the completely bland level design most of the time.

 

[Rufus]

Yeah, I went on auto-pilot for long stretches of the game. The voice-over didn't do anything for me either. Some of the songs and things that happen near the ending resonated very well with me, but that's about it.

 

[Flunkie]

Man, Dustforce is tempting..

Dat backlog, though.

 

[Salsa]

Bastion was far from perfect, dont see why a shitstorm would come. It did some things very right and had some really interesting and new ideas, but at the same time it had some issues in other areas where other games of a similar genre are better.

I really enjoyed it and cant wait for their next game myself. Go Kasavin.
