Super late to the party, but here's a shot I took just now while recording the GOL podcast.



Doesn't look like it's changed much since 2013 :D

I totally missed this article going up (and forgot to post an article about it back in February).

I helped the developer out with the Linux and Mac ports. Hope that anybody who has checked the game out, or has plans to do so later, finds something they enjoy :)

Quoting: dubigrasuThank you for this, you always have these well written/documented professional looking articles that for some reason don't get the deserved attention.
I just want you to know that some of us really appreciate your work, cheesetalks/podcast and all.

Thanks for your kind words. It makes me happy to know that people get something out of the work I do :)

Ah, I totally missed this post going up!

For anybody who's interested, I have three copies of Hand of Fate to give away. First three people to post saying that they'd like one get one. Please only grab one if you're interested in the game and don't already have it :)

Quoting: GuestDid they finally fix the darkening bug?

I believe it was fixed a while back. If the game's still doing it, could you PM me some more details (log, distro version, driver versions, etc. - the stuff asked for in the Hand of Fate FAQ [External Link] and some screenshots, I can try to get to the bottom of it for you.

Quoting: GuestAnd that's one reason I'm more interested in the Vive.

HTC Vive is my way to go too, but I was told to check for the Razer OSVR. Since it's an open source project, anyone got impressions on it? It seems quite impressive too.

I don't have any experience with OSVR yet (OSVR is the API rather than the device), but it's on my list to check out. OSVR apparently also has a SteamVR (which is internally called OpenVR) bridge which as I understands it allows OSVR to make OpenVR API calls to interact with the Vive.

I've been using OpenHMD (another open source HMD abstraction layer that aims to be device agnostic). It doesn't have Vive support yet, but works with the Oculus DK1 and DK2. Unfortunately it doesn't do any rendering stuff, and since Oculus don't support "extended mode" anymore (thanks for breaking backwards compatibility with your devkits, guys \o/), I can't get my stuff working on Windows.

Right now, I feel like I can't ship anything because I don't know what will and won't work with consumer versions of the currently-landing devices, but hopefully within the next month or two things will be clear/settled enough that it'll be easy to make a call on what's a lost cause and what's not.

There was some stuff in their user agreement that I found pretty unacceptable back when Linux builds of the DK1 SDK became available. Sadly, it seems like they've been on this trajectory since before Facebook got involved.

Quoting: HendrinGood information. Definitely want to participate if I can. :)

Fantastic! :)

If it's helpful at all, I've put together a few notes [External Link] on getting the best experience out of a jam, which includes stuff like "puzzle dependency charts [External Link]" as well as more general advice on planning and priorities.
