Man that lets me basically buy what amounts to a 60 dollar game in Canada. What a deal! (It is when you consider it's 70 to 80 bucks otherwise)

haha I know how you feel. I bought Dogma for 25% off and then it went to my paypal and was like it is still going to cost you around $40!

I played Original Sin around launch- it's alright. Story isn't much, and the combat (at the time) seemed to heavily favor anything but straight melee. Magic was great because of AOE, but did little damage. Melee had horrible horrible horrible hit chance even when buffed, and the cooldown for skills was absurd.

Hi, everyone, new guy here! I have a question for you all:

After looking into 8086's assembly language at university, I have an urge to buy this TIS-100.

Have anyone played it? If so, is it good?

It's essentially takes SpaceChem's core concept and distills it to pure programming puzzles. It's great and really hard

You can permanently block any user by sending a PM to ModBot with the subject permablock. The body should be a list of usernames, one per line, that you wish to block. There is no undoing this. Do not give people the benefit of the doubt--if someone scams the system, permanently block them. It makes the community blacklist more valuable. If you stay silent, other people will be impacted too. If someone's scamming rises beyond the level of being an abusive ModBot user and to the level that you need a GAF moderator's help, please PM a moderator.

I'm just kidding.
Maybe. I dunno yet.

Be generous with us. Come for the games, stay for the camaraderie. Welcome to the thread. :)

It's like people expect something of Bethesda.

You can't even customise your characters voice. I was disappointed from the beginning. :c

Star Wars Open World RPG Kickstarter lauches

I have decided to take matters into my own hands and write a story in the star wars universe that will fit inside a RPG video game. I am currently looking into talking with Disney if I am able to do this. If not then there might have to be a compromise on the name or some other parts. I need your help. I am not a very good programmer, and I'm an even worst artist. I want to put this project into the hands of professionals, but in order to do that I need money to hire them. This was my dream as a kid I hope you can share my same compassion, thank you.
Click to expand...
I am not talking about a 1995/2005 game that could be created in a month or two. I am talking about a Star Wars RPG that will completely blow people away; like "Fallout 4", or "The Witcher 3" did. These RPG's set the benchmark of how the future of RPG's should look, and they are a good blueprint to go on. I want to make something that is like this in some respects, but goes even further. It will have the graphics of "Battlefront" or better with the feel of "The Witcher 3".

Also no promises, but the backers that give for the $60 reward will get the game a day or two before original release.

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.

Are the rules for GOTY voting changing at all so far as Early Access titles go?

I'm working out my top 10 list right now, and I've got a couple of games I'm deciding between that were either Early Access releases in 2014 and 'officially' launched in 2015, one that was an early access release in 2015 and will release 'officially' this year but I can't remember if the rules are changing from last year in regards to EA titles.

Given the budget, it will be a $0.49 RPG Maker game that's bundled a dozen times in the first month after release.

let's see... the hardest thing I've done with assembly was a ceasar encryption/decryption tool. How does that fare against this game's puzzles? :p

Yeah, while I don't think I need to say this, don't back that Kickstarter. Outside of the copyright infringement, the guy doesn't seem to know how to handle such a project, probably isn't budgeting, and the goal is way too ambitions for a one-man team and that meager budget.

I chuckled at this comment.

10$ TIER: Letter from me thanking you for helping making this happen. Will be signed by the makers of the game. Same as above just fit for those with bigger pockets."]Letter from me thanking you for helping making this happen. Will be signed by the makers of the game.

Glad to see a Kickstarter that finally cares about the Big and Tall community. I've received countless lithographs and thank you letters from various developers, but never one sized appropriately to the pockets of my larger pants. $10 tier FTW!
