Quoting: muntdefems

Quoting: Crazy PenguinI picked it up last week at a sale on Steam, but it had issues with the screen resolution & windowed mode. So I requested a refund. Has the version on GOG similiar problems?

No problems on my end. Both full screen and in windowed mode the game works flawlessly for me. :)

Well, I ran into the same problem. Only about 60% of the screen are shown if I play full screen. Which seems to be known problem for over a year now :(. But at last I got it to work in windowed mode after finding the correct settings.ini.

Indeed! Nice Bundle if you wouldn't have most of it already :)

BTW: Anyone else noticed this new Humble Bundle Feature, where they ask for your phone number, AFTER you have gone through the whole payment process? In case you cancel the order, you will get an email which confirms the cancelled order. BUT a few minutes later, you will get another email which tells you that they need more information to finish the order. WTH?

Quoting: muntdefemsIMO the best deal on GOG right now is Renowned Explorers: International Society [External Link], 75% off (plus, the expansion More to Explore [External Link] is also on sale at 33% off).

Yeah, but it is a bit odd that the Bundle is not on sale. https://www.gog.com/game/renowned_explorers_bundle [External Link]

I really hope that they will find a "real" software developer sometime which is able to fix all the issues which their site/store. e.g. the sort problem in the library exists for years already :(

Newest Fun: Humble Bundle is now asking to verify your phone number AFTER you have gone through the payment process. Alternatively you can cancel the order which I did. Received the mail which confirms that I have cancelled my order. Around 20 minutes later I get another mail which says that they still need more information (My phone number) to complete the order?!?!? *facepalm*

Nice! Another Space-Sandbox. It looks like StarMade gets some serious competition.

"it took 2-3 minutes to slow down from full speed which caused me to fly into a repair station and boom"
Liam, you know that you are in Space and it takes time to slow down, right? :D

Yes, an awesome game. Played it a lot :D

In Germany it was known as "Bleifuss Fun" (Bleifuss = Leadfoot)

Quoting: buenaventuraI hate crafting man, most stupid game idea of recent times.

It's not a recent idea, but it was IMHO better implemented before World of Warcraft came along. Well, maybe you would hated it more, as there were no recipes for crafting xD. You had learn them by your own by combining materials. But then you had a slim chance to craft a really unique legendary item also, which was better then anything you could get from loot.

Quoting: KelsI was initially turned off by the "open PvP" idea, suggesting that you could be attacked at any time no matter what.

Well, I like that idea. Nothing is more boring then PVE. But in a PVP World especially with openPVP rules it is mandatory to play together with others if you want to survive. Otherwise you will have lots of frustrating moments.

My best MMO game experience has been on (Open)PVP-Servers so far. I like games esp. MMOs where players have the freedom to form the world as they like. My only fear is that it will end in a disaster with the current gamer generation. There are way to many idiots around nowadays which have nothing better to do then spoil the fun for all others.

Mayber Rogalia would be the better alternative for you: http://store.steampowered.com/app/528460/ [External Link] It has PVP & non-PVP-Zones.

EDIT: Found this on the Official Website: The game world is divided into several zones: in peaceful lands players are unable to attack each other and destroy buildings that don’t belong to them...

Quoting: SangreDeReptil

Quoting: RussianNeuroMancerConsider Pony Island as tutorial.

I beat that game in only two hours, but still I couldn't program a single line in TIS-100. :(

Maybe you think to complicated. What you have to do is pick up a value at the Input-"Gates" marked with IN.x, process it in the nodes and return the result through the Output-"Gates" marked with OUT.x. Every node has several ports which can be used for input/output (Arrows!) for communitcation with another node. (Manual: 1st Chapter!)

Maybe think about it as rooms (nodes) with doors (ports) and you give a character (value) instructions (commands) what to do in this room. Hello HMR xD

The first program in TIS-100 is extremly simple. Look at your instructions:

1) Read a value from IN.X and write the value to out OUT.X
2) Read a value from IN.A and write the value to out OUT.A

Task 1) is solved already. It moves the value from IN.X to OUT.X straight downwards with the MOV UP, DOWN command. Which means Read the value from input port UP and pass it on to the next node through output port DOWN. Run it step by step and see what happens.

Now you have to do the same for the Task 2). Which is almost the same, except that you have to move the value (character) around the broken node (room). So you can't go down in the first node, but you can go to the left node. Now the first command is: MOV UP, LEFT. which gets the value from IN.A and pass it on through the output port on the left side to the next node. which moves it on with MOV RIGHT, DOWN and so on till you get the value (char) through the Output-"Gate" OUT.A. Easy! :)

That is all what you have to do. You will get and learn more commands with the time. Everything is well explained with examples in the Manual. Read it again! The game looks more complicated as it is. Focus on what you have and what you have to do. Play around with the commands and learn from it :)

Shenzhen takes it up a notch by breaking down down the "fix" grid of nodes and adds a few more items to the game. Thats all! You will find all you need in the manual!

Another game of this kind and which I can recommend is Hack'n'Slash. But be warned! The first half is pretty easy, but the 2nd half raises the difficulty a lot :D
