Demo for the game on bottom of the page https://sschoener.itch.io/patterna

Played it a bit.
It seems quite interesting, but it does a poor job of teaching you how to play, and the UI is not so good at conveying information, with unnecessarily complex shapes just adding visual noise. I can see how the rules were inspired by HexCells, but unfortunately the UI is not equally inspired.

FINALLY !!
BEEN SEARCHING THIS GAME FOR DAYS
http://store.steampowered.com/app/6090/

I forgot the name and didn't even knew it was on Steam. Definitely a game I wanted to buy when I was younger :")

Anyone else think of the John Candy movie from 30 years ago when they saw the title of this game?

 

[neoemonk]

That seems like a title that will likely see a PC version.

Hmmm, you're right, but the boy is going to want to play it so it's still better to get it on console so he's not trying to take over my PC all the time.

 

[nickplaysgames404]

Anyone know if AKIBA'S TRIP: Undead ＆ Undressed works well on PC?

It's plays just fine, you should get AkibaInterceptor to get some fixes for the game though like 60fps if you want it.

Ahh i will look into that and how well does it work with Mouse + Keyboard?

I think that Vanquish is a pretty safe bet going by Matt Charlesworth's (Valve employee) tweet and the recent interview with Platinum Games co-founder Atsushi Inaba.

Vanquish is definitely a sure thing, but I'm not so sure that Charlesworth's tweet was a tease. Valkyria Chronicles was uploaded to Steam seven months prior to release and Lost World around a year, so I doubt Vanquish was uploaded two years ago now (more or less) and counting.

 

[EdmondD]

a bundle of beds

a trundle

holy shit.

I'm waiting for the Brundlefly bundle myself.

 

[Kaleinc]

Indeed. I'm sure that if only the artists and designers who made those costumes were made to work on the netcode instead, then that'd be fixed in no time.

I'm sure that if only instead of paying for 20 artists and designers capcom hired 2 guys to assist the local janitor whose responsibilities are also netcode and rootkits - to fix shit. Pipe dreams.

You bring up something interesting:
Initially SEGA had mainly planned for Lost World and V. Chronicles to be ported as part of their 1 game a year plans. After seeing how well V. Chronicles did they likely upped their porting plans, though I do ope we start seeing more than 1 game a year or if they plan on releasing multiple games over time.

 

[Uriah]

My steam client is acting weird. None of my game icons are showing up and neither are my friends list pictures. I've tried reinstalling steam and that didn't solve the issue. Any ideas?

We're STILL waiting for the port for this year aren't we?

Did you try restarting your PC?

 

[Mikurden]

I'll go you one better -- I thought of the movie's theme song.

 

[Uriah]

Did you try restarting your PC?

Didn't work unfortunately. And when I try to sign into the store I get the error message that "There was an error communicating with the Steam servers. Please try again later."

Edit: I'm also having similar issues with accessing Steam using Chrome as well.

Edit 2: Alright its fixed. Have no idea what the fuck I did though.

I sure hope we start seeing more than 1 per year. I understand that they don't want to release things too close to each other and their other games, but 1 port a year is not enough to cover half their stuff in a decent timeframe.

AND IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY!
WHERE'S MY XANADU NEXT DAMNIT!

The most important question of them all!

 

[Tizoc]

2 releases a year sounds better IMO; it's what Capcpom are doing.

[morningbus]

Sega just needs to give me its Xbox games. Those are the ones currently lost due to emulation not being up to scratch.

 

[GhostTrick]

1 release each quarter is a better thing imo.
But yeah, 2 a year would be an improvement. I just hope they bring something hype this year. Basically one of these:
Shenmue I/II, Skies of Arcadia, Virtua Fighter 5, Yakuza 3/4/5, Resonance of Fate, Vanquish, Bayonetta, Persona 3/4.

Anything else would be disappointing and counterproductive. I can understand the mistake with Sonic Lost World: caught if guard by VC's success, things were done. Ok. But now ? No excuse. If they're serious and have a clue about this strategy, they'll do the right thing or just fail hard.

Don't disappoint me SEGA. :")

how bout you give me your games

 

[data]

Wait wtf Oxenfree for 5 bucks? Price error?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

If Sega does announce Vanquish I'm exploding.

 

[pantsattack]

And suddenly I have a Wii. Hmm, what to do.

Oh yeah, a place for all my Genesis and Neo George ROMs for starters.

Also, my wife asked unprompted if it did dancing. Why yes it does!

 

[Parsnip]

Any good minimalist Steam skins out there still getting updates? Pressure dev seems to have ghosted, no official updates since March.

Pixelvision 3lyfe.

edit:Also 4lyfe.

There is a bit more of a hint there. On the same day (or the day before, can't remember), Kamiya was tweeting about his visit to Valve with Charlesworth, and retweeted the same comments about Sega bringing games over & that Vanquish tweet. It's possible that its something they discussed

They just need to understand, understand, understand, understand, understand, understand the concept of love.

Fuck me sideways for fucking fuck fuck, died again to Yama just now, second time today! Fucking piece of devilish shite.

Spelunky is the gift that keeps on giving, I just found out there's a online coop mod that supposedly actually works, may be some day I'll finally get that coop achievement.

 

[yuraya]

Just shoot him with shotgun while jumping up n down once you get high enough from a distance far right. Just avoid not getting hit by debris. The fight is really not hard at all.

 

[SNURB]

You know what would be cool and hilarious?
The Crash Bandicoot remakes being 'PS4 Console Exclusive'
I need this to happen just to see what the meltdown would be like if any.

I wouldn't even be mad TBH.

All three times I got to him now, I managed to destroy his hands without problems. His flying head-phase gets me every time. Debris is killing me! Either fall to spike (after the first time I blow those immediately up) or fall to lava. The moment I peek out of cover to shoot or throw a bomb debris gets me, every damn time.

 

[Last Baron]

Ah, so someone is updating Pixelvision. I was still in the group for v1 but thought the project was long dead when I had a look at the discussions.

If lava is THAT much of a problem, you can gamble by blowing up the top of the Vlad vampire tower for his Fire immunity pendant in the first level of hell.*

 

[freshVeggie]

I refrained from extra risks while going for Yama but three misfires might be a sign for a change of plans, you're right.

Pixelvision 2 has a group as well. I usually just grab the latest master from github if I need to update though.

 

[illusionary]

Squarecells -70%

Get it people.

Matthew Brown? Done and done.

I'm grabbing that Indie Gala bundle too - worst case, the money all comes back via trading cards anyway.

And Oxenfree - well, I would, but I bought the game in the recent PSN sale and don't need another copy!

 

[yuraya]

Its not worth risking the entire run by going at him with bombs n shit. Or messing with fire. Just cheese him. Kill those 2 at the start and go right and up immediately. Once you get high enough to be on a near horizontal level with him..shoot him like 5-6 times from a distance with shotgun n that should do it. You don't have to be anywhere near him. Sometimes debris will kill you but overall that method has like 75% success rate.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Osiris: New Dawn is really fun and surprisingly polished for such an early build of an early access game. It's really pretty too, I turned down the music and put on the Interstellar soundtrack which made it that much better.

 

[iosefe]

okay, but are there Binary star systems?

 

[The Dear Leader]

I'm not sure. I've only played about 2 hours.

That's 10 in binary tho.

NEEERRDDD


*EDIT*
TOTP: Buy all of Hexcells and Squarecells right now god dmanit

Valve must take greater ownership of Steam's Early Access program (PC Gamer)

Too early to say, but the potential is there. I've had more fun in the little time I've played this than I did with No Man's Sky.

 

[dimmer]

It seems that the latest win10 update makes my cpu fan spin full speed and its driving me crazy.Before coming to this conclusion I took out the fan, cleaned it out,applied new thermal paste and unistalled the update. It wasn't so noisy for a while but windows updated again and the pc is back to turbo jet noise levels mode. Help

Valve needs to spend more time on Steam, full stop. Early Access is just a symptom of the myriad of problems Steam has.
