Quoting: MayeulCI was thinking about this game today... It was really hard to find. How about editing the title so that we can easily find it later? Including ASCII, Retro and Roguelike in the title would make the search function behave better, I think ;)

Or maybe we need a better way to search trough articles?

I'm not sure how editing the title would change that much, but it does have the Roguelike tag on it. If you use the "Search by category" function on the sidebar and choose that, you should be able to find what you're looking for easily.

Quoting: GuestI considered making a jigsaw puzzle years ago but the legal issues that come with selling a game are too big. It’s like the government doesn’t want people to do things. (I think it’s similar in most countries on Earth.)

Pretty sure that's why Steam is so popular, it's easy to publish your games through.

To say nothing of Itch.io.

I was in on the Kickstarter way back, so I got it when it came out and I'm glad I invested in it. Great game, ran solid save for two graphical issues that I believe got dealt with pretty quickly. The writing is sharp, and really shows what Andrew Hussie is capable of when he's focused, rather than trolling his fanbase (literally). The bit about non-frustrating puzzles is right. They tend to be intuitive and fairly forgiving, but not so easy that it bores the player.

I am curious to see if Act 2 has the same price, or if there's more content than the first round.

Quoting: aFoxNamedMorrisWho thought that posterizing a stamp-sized rendering of a lo-fi 3D game was a good idea? This looks awful!

Game art is hard. That's why there are so many "retro" indie games.

But that's not something you do because it's easier. Posterizing is a design choice that doesn't save you anything.

Quoting: slaapliedjeDamn, I have always wanted a decent Jigsaw program for Linux, but it requires the ability to import your own images. This doesn't look like it has that ability?

You can try Palapeli, that's got ability to import and a variety of piece shapes. I do get the occasional random crash, but it seems to save frequently and start up fast so that's not much of a hardship. It's free, too!

I'd say the main draw on this one is the multiplayer, which I can see being appealing.

Quoting: TiedemannI guess the % of games available on Linux isn't half bad either :)

Last I checked, it was only Universim that had Linux support. I see they have since added Jettomero, Astrokill, and Crest, so it's nice to see the list growing.

Last time I looked it was only Universim and Jettomero, so yeah. Good to see there's more now.

Honestly I didn't realise Astrokill was part of their stable.

I don't know if I've ever seen a game give away so many keys. That's what, the second hundred batch that's gone through GoL alone?

I was one of the Kickstarter backers and it's really nice to see just how much work has gone into the game. Even at this stage it's looking slick and they're pretty much nailed down the first era already so most of the core gameplay is solid. But as you say, a lot left to do and I can't wait to play the finished product next year sometime.

I watched HexDSL play Minit yesterday, it's brilliant!

I already got it in the recent Paradox bundle, so oh well. I imagine a few others did too.
