They are moving to Unity 5, so hopefully that will improve performance for lower-end and mid range people, but it's great for me.

The original game pre-dates Android by like five years.

Massive Planetary Annihilation Update, Galactic War Now Far Better

Quoting: ElectricPrismWe tried PA a while ago and were somewhat disappointed. The camera stuck in a weird way and everything was so zoomed out it felt kindof boring. I was hoping it would be something like StarCraft BroodWar but I'm not sure what it was like.

Maybe after a long while it'll be fun but the problem is that I now have a preconceived idea that it sucks based on experience :(

Everything was zoomed out? You can zoom in and out at will with a simple mouse scroller...

It's nothing like Starcraft.

Quoting: leillo1975I suppose that you talk about an update that was released 2 weeks ago...

As I repeatedly stated all over twitter, I was without the internet for 1.5 weeks.

Trolling Delays Linux Release Of The Stanley Parable

Quoting: SamsaiMy opinion is that your purchase should be a reward for the developer. That way they will get no money before it's out, which encourages them to work faster and actually create a better product. If we all went and bought the games immediately the only incentive for them to release the port is to keep their reputation up. It also has the potential of screwing up various statistics related to Linux purchases and can in some cases lead to the porting house not getting paid if the port is being done by a third party.

I'm just saying there is literally no positive to buying before it's out. Even if it's someone you trust. Buy into products, not promises.

This plus a million, I wish people would stop fecking buying games that aren't out for Linux yet.

I still think it's a fad that will fade with time, I don't want to strap a bloody device to my face. I'm not bothered personally.

Space Colony: Steam Edition Should Be Coming To Linux

Neither really, it has elements of comedy, it's a lot slower paced too. It's much more sandbox, but with story elements too.
