Afraid he's camped out somewhere in the sticks at the moment.

A quick video on SC Controller's new gestures feature, the standalone UI and driver for the Steam Controller

Essentially, it's swiping your finger on the left or right pad in a shape you define yourself to perform various actions. So I set swiping up on the left pad, to emulate pressing number 1 on the keyboard.

If you have SC Controller on and you load up Steam, Steam detects it as a normal gamepad. You can then use SC Controller to make any adjustments as and when needed.

If you have Steam open first, SC Controller cannot be used as Steam takes over control of it.

Quoting: MGOidIt is broken for me. Installed it from their repo and nothing. Complains about errors in some files. Tried download the source and run it as told by their page, same thing. Dependencies are installed, obviously.
I did a fresh install of it today and it works great for me, be sure to report issues to the github and help make it better :)

Quoting: kit89Doesn't SC stand for Steam Controller?
Well, the application itself controls the Steam Controller, so technically it really is a Steam Controller...Controller :D

Quoting: LordpkappaIt's a shame, it's in my wish list, more testing for the Linux platform if you want to support it, it's not the first time.

Quoting: lejimsterI picked the game up recently on sale. I probably won't be playing it for a few weeks tho. I hope they have it fixed by then.

Quoting: GuestI would have bought the game during the last sale if that bug hadn’t been present. Hopefully for the christmas sale they’ll have fixed it…

According to what I read here, no-one of you will meet the problem:

Quoting: LukeNukemFor anyone who hasn't read the thread;

it apparently works fine! You just can't use the mouse if you continue from a saved game.
And how many are likely to finish it in one sitting? I won't recommend a game that currently breaks if you load a saved game, no one should.

The two parts of that sentence don't really work together ;)

Daedalus is another space sci-fi adventure game needing help on Kickstarter, but it's a little iffy

Quoting: badmojooff topic but based on your intervention on White Noise 2 that was fixed after you put some attention here on the blog... could you post something about SNOW it's on early access but it has been broken since day one.
Well, that was as a result of me talking to them directly, but I will see what I can do.

Quoting: Andrei BNote to author: please include a link to the Kickstarter page next time.
Woops, fixed.

Quoting: minjThere have been too many kickstarter/pre-order related articles lately, imho.
Someone is never happy :P. There has been 3 Kickstarter posts in the space of an entire week, is it really too many? I was specifically asked by Patreon supporters to mention some Kickstarters fyi.
