Perfect. Plays upon clicking in a new tab like other hosters
I don't know tbh. Since it's Apple and there is no money to be made, I just assumed the didn't care bringing it to Windows.

There was one but Apple stopped support for it in 2012...5.1.7 is the last version of Safari for Windows

took me 17 hours to finish Rogue Legacy. Really, it's a hell of a game and i enjoyed that, with enough decent gold runs, anyone can finish it. I played a ton of Spelunky and i think i only got to the temple levels like twice so it's nice to play a similar game where i felt a sense of accomplish and i could make up for my meager skills.
Don't forget that you're still alive in my game
From email
You should, um, give me the code you receive whenever.
Cause I really want in T_T... I fucking signed up back when it was (first) called Dirty Bomb, damnit!
You're my favourite commander.
I mean you're playing motherfucking whatsitcalled mode.
I love you.

Aw come on, just cuz I got you killed millions of kilometres away from any of your loved ones and didn't recover your body so your family will never be able to properly grieve?
Harsh, very harsh.

If you signed up before they migrated to Steam you should have received a code. Contact SplashDamage and tell them what's up.
It's not without fault though. He got gravely injured
Aren't they always anyway?
I'm working a lot quite far from homw, not enough time to read this thread
Hah, will do.
Are the reviews cinematic too?
And they'll come back, eventually... old habits die hard and all that
Still didn't get one even though I have the beta on Nexon's client. Time to plead my case to Splash Damage, I suppose.
Really? I'll send an email or tweet their way I guess.
I never said I didn't love you as a commander though! <3
I just prefer not being violently killed.
Give it 'ere you bastard!

So I noticed today that Keen Software House now has two games in Early Access. Space Engineers has been in Early Access since Oct. 2013. How does SteamGAF feel about that?
Part of me feels like they should finish their other game first.
On one hand, a developer could have a different set of employees for two different games in development but on the other hand, why not put those people to work finishing the current game? Especially in this case where the new game Medieval Engineers is a clear spin off of Space Engineers.
Thoughts?

So Civ BE will connect to Sid Meir's Starships using an system called "My2K" which requires you create an account etc.
The "My2K" thing suggests more 2K games are going to get in on this cross-game thing

This is a good summary of the game and the review thread (the only difference is The Order is getting bad reviews from a lot of traditional sites..but still some nine out of tens.)
Due to the popularity of their first game, it isn't beyond the pale to expect them to hire better modelers and at least one artist to work on the second game before they even release it on EA.
There is an inherent risk, clearly indicated on the store page, in paying money for early access titles. Steam also requires a minimum age to use their service, so everyone who chooses to take a personal risk on such a product has to accept responsibility for their actions if the journey and ultimate outcome are undesirable.
is there something I can use that will give me cloud saves for those games that don't support them? Eg syncing a game save with a dropbox folder or something?
Been playing some Visual Novels on a different PC to my normal one (tablet actually) and I just noticed they don't support cloud saves so I'm a bit stuck unless I manually copy things back and forth (don't even know where the saves are stored)

I signed up when the game was just announced. I've heard fuck-all from them.
Game is hard :'(
And I really quite like the look of Dirty Bomb. And it's already had a more successful run than Brink, lol
... I miss Brink. :x
Space Engineers is already very playable, full of content and has regular updates being released. Most of their planned features are already in.
No, I don't think there's anything wrong at all with having other game in Early Access, especially when they are probably 2 different dev teams.

I think people get too hung up on the idea of a game being "finished." Neither of these games is a single player epic with some clear cut end. Sandbox style games are ideal for long development processes with features added over time.
And in this particular situation, they've made it very clear a different team is working on Medieval Engineers. Plus, the idea you can just "add more people" and finish something faster is a huge misnomer. I think in this situation the development teams will almost certainly feed off of each other and improve the development of both games. Besides, would you rather they were just developing the second game and didn't tell you about it? Because that's the alternative.

Dirty Bomb closed beta is live again, 1.6gb.
I already don't remember how Minecraft went about it. Lucky they started out when labels weren't the giant asterisk that came up whenever anyone talks about games that are being worked on.

Do you own Space Engineers or is it just the free weekend?

Seems like it's just an option to allow connectivity between the games-other 2K games like NBA and Evolve both have the option to tie into the web and mobile games through that as well.
It's not something overreaching like Uplay just yet. At least on the Firaxis games, the my2k service seems to fill a gap to connect the games that Steamworks doesn't really have a good solution for.

"We didn't want to keep creating space games only. Instead we wanted to have a game where you get to experience life and nature.
By creating a second engineering game, we are leveraging our existing technology and experience. "
Dev says it also helps them to create technologies and features that can be imported into either game.

Minecraft is the model all these sandbox Early Access games follow. It was in "beta" for years, adding new features and gradually increasing the price.
I know there's lots of examples of Early Access going awry, but just like all internet hyperbole, the whole "all early access is bad" is just as ill informed as "all f2p is bad" or "all DLC/season passes are bad." And if there's one thing early access and kickstarter has shown us the past few years, it's that virtually all of the general gaming public, even the enthusiasts, really have no idea at all how game development actually works. Sadly it's also shown us that a lot of game developers don't seem to have any idea about how it works either.
Easiest, transparent, solution would be use user id. It's secure too, so someone can't just edit and say they are someone else.
It's about getting contact information too.

I meant I don't remember how they labeled themselves at any point and when that finally turned into v1.0. At most I think I remember they added an ending but even then I would'nt be surprised if it was already 'properly' released at that point.

Reporting for duty.
Well, I played for a whole hour. It wasn't the worst hour I've ever spent, of course, but the game really leaves a lot to be desired. My main issue was with the writing, it was just utterly bland and pretentious. The gameplay wasn't anything to write home about either — repetitive uninspired puzzles with some fairly monotonous walking to boot. The game look pretty though. When I say it sucks big time, I just mean I expected a lot better. Spoiled by the previous offerings in the genre, I guess.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
