Third in the To The Moon series, time-loop adventure Impostor Factory is out
1 Oct 2021 at 11:32 am UTC

Quoting: GBGames... I should play To the Moon first, and so I started it.

And so far I've been really enjoying it. It's very bizarre at times, and also quite touching.
My review from back when I played To The Moon:

It's pixelated, it's ugly, scrolling is bumpy, controls are broken, path finding doesn't work, the puzzles are superfluous, pacing is bad, the action sequences are nonsense, the jokes sometimes fall flat...

... but it's wonderful game about
Spoiler, click me
live, love and death.


Looking forward for the next one.

Does anybody have an idea if this [External Link] could be legit?

Seedlings is a puzzle-platformer that uses real nature footage from New Zealand's forests

Quoting: PhlebiacRunning it now, it looks like it gets a black screen as soon as you start a game, although the opening subtitles display fine at the bottom of the screen. Checking the executable, it says it's from June 4, 2021, which correlates with the last update in their news section - so they kept updating the Linux version with broken builds?
Sounds like the usual issue of a wrong video codec for an intro.
If I remember correctly, it would end up in game graphics automatically though, which doesn't show up either.

Oh, that's too bad - when did that happen? I see it got Linux support in June 2018, and it worked great for me when I played it in Sept 2018 (3 years ago, where does the time go?).

I've played through it as well some yea... times ago. At some point, it showed what you've seen for Mac and Linux users. They were able to fix it for Mac, have been optimistic that the same fix would work for Linux too, but it didn't. Then they just went silent about it...

It was enabled before this version and has been disabled now.

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Its a bit merky as here in the UK you have a legal right to refund if something is not of mercentable quality ie a game that doesnt work is not fit for purpose so under consumer rights act you can get a refund regardless of valve of game dev position on it.
I cannot imagine this would apply here. The "purpose" is running under Windows, the rest is your problem.

Reminder: Update your PC info for the next round of statistics updates

Quoting: jordicomaSadly I cannot update the specs (as likely many people). It's not that problem of shortage, as I know some places (online) that can be bought one. But the prices are to hight, 2x or 3x (or more) over a msrp that it's already over-expensive, it's to much for a casual linux gamer like me. It's insane.
I was lucky to update in updating in early 2020. If I would sit on my old hardware now, I'd just keep on sitting on it. ;)
