I was most amazed at the reality game (I forget what the proper term for this is) elements they included with this. I don't know if there's a good place to read about those, I learned about them from themonotonist's past twitch stream where he also showed some cool radio stuff...

Quoting: const

Quoting: Werzaz

Quoting: constI'm actually working on a little Unity2D implementation of an online-multiplayer table, that will let you create and import basically every card/boardgame (that's not physics based) but will hopefully have a cleaner interface and should work on mobile and desktop all the same. No 3D/physics, as I consider those unnecessary for this type of games. Basic online cardgaming already works, but I'll take my time to properly finish it.

As an alternative to Tabletop Simulator, there is always the VASSAL engine, which sounds very similar to what you are working on. The interface isn't always super clean but that depends more on the design of the board game module.

Didn't know this exist. Will take a look.

Edit: did take a look and it's absolutely not what I'm working on. My implementation should let users create the games themselves, share them how they like and looks like 20 years younger :)

Well, I agree that the graphics could be more modern but users can in fact create their own game modules (not sure where you got the impression they couldn't), which are just files that can easily be distributed.

While i appreciate the pixeled genre, i cannot understand why one should buy one of that games, when he can play tons of similar abandonware.

Quoting: MotionshotOr maybe you could dig a little deeper into what people actually want before posting stuff like this?

Did I hurt somebody with my post?
I totally agree that their current behaviour looks bad. Really.
Just wanted to point out there might be various reasons for what we currently see. And DoW as a company used to be one of the good guys for more then 4 years. While other companies totally neglected us, they offered perfect support.

From what I learned while working at big corporations, we might just be part of an internal conflict. Maybe DoW didn't want to stop supporting linux and Asmodee made the decision over their heads. Now they let it escalate to get permission to fix it.

In that case, it might actually be good to start writing more bad reviews :D

I really liked Oxenfree. It's the kind of game you should take enough free time to play through in a single session. My first attempt ended quickly as I had the same issue with the dialogue system: Am I really supposed to either listen and miss my opportunity to answer or to answer and interrupt? But I got into it, and partly, it's all logical: If someone asks you if you fancy him, you don't have plenty of time to find an appropriate answer - hesitating is an answer as well. Other dialogue situations give you more time to answer, and sometimes, keeping your mouth shut and just listening is an all fine option. Important dialogue lines are not cut off, so you will not miss something important either way.

The overall game felt a bit like Firewatch to me. Some people didn't like the end of Firewatch (though I was fine with it), Oxenfree is different in this aspect.

I second the review. The game is good - not great like Life is Strange, but very good. It kept me interested and immersed in the story. Yes, both the audio and art really helped. The length is ok for such a single-plot mini story.

I really liked time limits on responses, you can get conversation flow nicely. One difficulty: I'm not a native English speaker and listening, reading responses and assessing the impact of choice was sometimes too much for me.

I was kinda hoping.

I wish they would open source ut99 already.

Quoting: NanobangI'm someone who creates custom configurations for all my games, so I feel fairly comfortable saying that I know my way around Steam's config tool, and more and more I find myself wanting to do something that I can only do on SC-CONTROLLER.

Can you give some examples of such things?

Already works in wine. Has done since day one.

Quoting: rafebelmontIt is very nice to see a Brazilian studio continuing to make games. I have Oniken and Odallus in my steam account, I have yet to play them but it seems two very nice games. Hopefully this one turns out great. One thing though is that Odallus does not have Linux support, it works fine in Wine.

I have the original Oniken in my library and installed. Only the unstoppable edition is on Steam now with Windows only listed. Hmmm. When I click the store link for my edition, it take some to the unstoppable edition page.

Quoting: damarrinStory is miles better than the fairly mundane sword and sorcery tale of BG. It's all very depressing, mind. Highly recommended.

I wouldn't say the game itself is depressing. I'd say it's depressing for the Nameless One and the game does a very good job of making you care about his story and fate by the end.

Spoiler, click me

I think it's one of the finer thought-provoking pieces of art ever crafted that makes you consider whether you'd really want to live forever if you could.

Quoting: DolusThe technical improvements are welcome, but I hope their writing has improved since they gave the BG games the "Enhanced Edition" treatment.

In the launch trailer it says that the original writer for PS:T was the 'lead curator' for this project, so hopefully he kept anything uncool on lockdown.

Quoting: Geppeto35Don't know why, I never succeeded to enjoy the first 30 min while I love and enjoy multiple times BG and Fallout 1&2... I know lot of people love this game. Did I miss something? The remaining of the game is identical to those 30 min?
I own the game on gog and may give a try to this enhanced edition.

I was considering replying to the poster on the first page that said they own it but haven't played it yet warning him to give it a couple of hours of playtime. I bought the game on a budget rack back when it was newish and the only reason I did was because it was an AD&D licensed product. As you've seen, having tried it, the original engine and game system wasn't awe-inspiringly awesome. However, give it 2-3 hours and give the story a chance to start flowing, and if you're anything like me it will have you hooked by that point. It's a fantastic story in a mediocre game engine (though just like in BG, things begin going smoother after you get a few levels).

It's not the greatest of deals to owners of the original. Currently if you pre-order it on GOG (and already own the original) then you get 30% off. £14.99 down to £10.49 with the 30% off. The 30% discount option runs out BEFORE the enhanced game is released, so if it is full of bugs or somewhat rewritten, you won't know about it from reviews, if you take advantage of the pre-order discount.

Also, if you don't buy the original NOW, you lose the opportunity to buy the original in the future:

A quote:
"Note: Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition will feature the unaltered original version and the Enhanced Edition in one definitive collection exclusively on GOG.com. The original game will no longer be available for purchase on its own, after the Enhanced Edition is released. Owners of the classic Planescape: Torment will not be affected by upcoming changes to the product."

This is very similar treatment of Duke3D game with the expensive 20th Anniversary Tour "enhanced" (not so enhanced, ahem) version that came out recently, and Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition immediately removed from Steam.

When Baldur's Gate I and II Enhanced Editions were released in 2016, Beamdog were offering them at a much more reasonable 85% discount to existing owners. That's the sort of price-point I'm happy to support.

I read that too and just thought what a bunch of Tech experts, not even acknowledging that Linux exists...

Quoting: Aryvandaar

Quoting: ziabiceNo Italian translation, no buy!

Note: the original Planescape had an amateur italian translation done by the same people that some years after did the official translation for Baldur's Gate:EE and Icewind's games, so my hopes are high ;)

Not going to argue that you want a translation. However, you do seem to have a good amount of knowledge of English writing and the vocabulary, so I don't see why you need a translation.

The question is. With the price point, is it worth it?

Given that all the translations done for the Beamdog's Enhanced Editions of the other games where done for free by amateurs (with a lot of experience in translating games) and then included into the main game, the answer is: yes, it is worth it. Maybe not at release time, but later in the year. ;)

This game has got some truly amazing reviews. One person said he stood up and clapped when the credits rolled. Another proclaimed this to be his game of the decade. All pretty lofty stuff.

Wishlisted.

But the biggest drawback for me is short analog stick - makes racing games really difficult - it may be so because I've been using Logitech gamepads for years but still - I quickly switched to steering with gyroscope.

In fact, the Gyro for racing games is probably the best part. :)

I don't know for Dirt Rally but for Grid Autosports... For my part, awesome!

And I finished both Metro games with SC with the Gyro for precise aiming. Works great too.

Edit: Bad reading from my part. Duh!

The Article is missing the GOG tag (Hollow Knight on GOG.

Yes, this looks absolutely marvelous. Goes directly to the wishlist.

Quoting: tmtvlUnfortunately the gameplay sucks so much that I just can't enjoy it. This game would really benefit from the random encounters being removed. Or even better: all the combat being removed.

If the other EE games are anything to go by, they will hopefully add a "Story Mode" where you can just let the ai smash foes while you alt-tab out. I play BG1:EE now and the combat is mostly just annoying.

Dammit! Why am I not playing this game? I own it. I've set up a Steam Controller config for it. I've fooled around with it. But I haven't ever settled in and begun playing it!

I'm just gonna plead alien abduction.

I think that the SC-CONTROLLER is very close to becoming more powerful than Steam's own configuration tool. I'm someone who creates custom configurations for all my games, so I feel fairly comfortable saying that I know my way around Steam's config tool, and more and more I find myself wanting to do something that I can only do on SC-CONTROLLER.

The day is fast coming when the SC-CONTROLLER becomes my primary driver for all my games, whether they're on Steam or not.
