I'd buy the shit out of this shit if I wasn't broke as shit.

Shiet.

If anyone bought Borderlands The Pre-Sequel on Kingiun, the keys seem to getting revoked:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/2u0use/borderlands_the_pre_sequel_removed/

There might be other Steam keys being revoked.

Could be only that one.

Is there a reason everyone is buying Life is Strange from GMG instead of Nuuvem?

For some reasons I'm no longer surprised at PC ver delay. Thankfully it just 2 days.

Just released. I was watching Lirik play this and it looks really good.

This is now on my radar. What a unique looking experience we have here; it also has a certain charm to it.

Bot Colony getting pulled from Steam:

http://steamcommunity.com/games/263040/announcements/detail/139944866943306342

I am very sad to announce that we will have to shut down Bot Colony due to lack of sales. Bot Colony sales are so low we can't even cover the cost of running the servers that run the Natural Language Understanding software - which is $524 per month (so we don't even sell 2 units per day, which would enable us to keep the servers running).

I realize that some of you paid money to buy a game that will soon be impossible to play - because it requires online servers that cost money to keep running, while no money comes in.

I have advised Steam of the situation, and Bot Colony is no longer available to buy - in order to minimize the fallout when it will stop. We will keep the servers running until March 15, to give you enough time to enjoy the game that you bought. I hope you'll consider this fair.

game will be unplayable after March 15...

great.

edit: what are the chances of steam refunding me my cot damn GEMS?

Bot Colony getting pulled from Steam:

Oh come the fuck on.
Doesn't the thing have text input anyway?
Rip the language processing stuff with servers you need to sign up for out of it and just release it as a modern take on the text adventure.

 

[derExperte]

Time to watch http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/unfinished-bot-colony-07-10-2014/2300-9206/ again.

To give you some figures, the NLU technology powering Bot Colony cost some $20M and many years to develop. It is probably one of the best NLU technologies available in the world today. The game itself probably cost another $2M - $3M.

Wow, that's.... expensive. And sad, seems that he and others put A LOT of time and money into this.

Also can I still somehow buy it through some trick? Yes, to make huge profits.

That's all the Bot Colony I need.

That's probably what everyone thought.

Change it to Anime Butt Colony and see how the sales skyrocket.

why does it need a server? I don't understand.. Seaman didn't have any servers.. this is basically Seaman.

Not only is Dead or Alive being pushed back... it still has a 3 month window for online modes to be implemented. Sure would be awesome for Xrd to just pop up and fill that date gap as a surprise.

That's not how that company works tho. Expect the game 2016 or 2017. *chuckles*

What is the best game with dinosaurs.

The original Dino Crisis is the best one imo. Survival Horror with dinos was a great combination and I loved it as much as Resi 1/2 back then.

 

[LurkerPrime]

saving into registry is the easy built-in method to do saves that unity uses

back when i used unity it was actually pretty annoying to implement something other than that (tho i managed to save into a txt so it's possible)

lyne is a student project afaik so i'm guessing the dev just couldn't get it done for some reason, which is weird cos that game is super competent and for sure better than anything i've ever done

Unity is a mess. Wow.

Saving to the registry is so bone-headed. I mean, yes, it's probably to avoid any problem with file permissions.. but man! I can't think of a more anti-player save solution than this.

That's exactly what I am stuck on! (Although maybe there are more doors to open later)

Nothing makes me feel like a dummy like adventure games.

If it's the same puzzle as mine, I'll say this: the solution is obvious in retrospect.

Really, all of the Wadjet Eye games except maybe Primordia have been pretty good with their puzzles. They're all adventure game-y but still well within the logic of the setting. And to be fair, Primordia only annoyed me because of how it handles the endings.

That's probably what everyone thought.

Bot Colony is such a half-functional, broken game... the dev was foolhardy to expect such a poorly-executed product to sustain servers like that. The basis of the entire thing - the voice recognition stuff - could barely grasp anything the player said, let alone parse the commands into something usable. It's an OK proof of concept, but a far cry from a full-fledged retail project.

Giant Bomb's videos cover the game extensively, though some are premium (subscription required) content. And yes, those videos are totally worth it.

Yep, and it's the one they teach to all new users.
Because files r hard!
I blame OSX and its fucking mac bullshit

You'd think that if your 20 million dollar language recognition software was that great, you could sell actually SRSBSNS soft that uses it and recoup your losses.

Someday Capcom will wake up and realize that they can make money off of products they develop and actually port Monster Hunter to Steam.

EDIT: I wonder if Grief.exe could do one of those GAF campaigns to motivate Capcom into doing something smart for their bottom line. I wonder if one of the reasons they don't do it is because PC is such a dead platform in Japan, and they don't think Western audiences like Monster Hunter games. Like it's just an awareness issue. I believe that there is a distinct shift in the audience that plays PC games, and while there is a lot of overlap, I think the MH games would do better (comparatively) on Steam than they would on any of the major 3 platforms in Western countries.

Just a feeling.

Also, Nethack is coming to Steam:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/341390/

Hmm. I'm plenty fine playing it ascii, but if the interface is nice I don't mind paying for a front end.

Does anyone know what version of Nethack it's using? And whether it has plans to support the new version coming out [someday] that was leaked/announced in September?

Forgot one from Yesterday. Fantastic tower defense/action/lite-rpg hybrid. Don't let the fact that it's been Bundled to Death put you off.

Wow. Looks cool. Sorry I missed whatever bundles it's in.
