Quoting: GuestI quite liked the feel of the demo that was released previously, and that ran superb.

Then you'll like the fact that a last minute change to the outline drawing code almost doubled the frame rate for me. :)

Too bad -force-vulkan causes glitches with some of the shaders on Mesa (or maybe just on my hardware?), as that also ups the performance quite a bit and might be worth testing for someone on weaker integrated graphics. For the rest of us, the game should be smooth as butter with the default OpenGL.

PS: Note that the integrated FPS counter (lower left corner) is capped to 300 but the actual frame rate is not limited.

Quoting: Liam DaweSince browsers can run a lot of games nowadays, how do people feel about a primary browser question?

Seems like you would get better data from Google Analytics or crunching your httpd logs?

Attempting to detect a user's primary browser would be a challenge though, wouldn't it? Parsing User-Agent strings and trying to guess which browser users would prefer to play their games on seems like a hassle when you can just ask.

Quoting: slaapliedjeIs it explained why the glitches are there? I mean to me it looks like just a graphical glitch like the memory is reading the wrong tiles and just makes a flashy weird mess. I kind of accepted it with the rubble at the beginning, but one of the beasties I attacked in the tutorial dungeon didn't seem like it belonged.

It all belongs. It's a weird game, in a good way.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAnyhow more about the game, it seems that I too had to use the 'useGLFW: False' on Debian Sid, and then the initial building had a bunch of weird flashing tiles.

The glitches are part of the game and supposed to be there. :)

Don't forget Encodya, it's coming out next week!

Looking at the list of participants, doesn't look like an old-school adventure fan like me will run out of games to play any time soon.

Quoting: WindousicoNow we have the same prices in Poland, Spain and Germany (since 2015-2016).

Just a quick look at some random games from bigger publishers at steamdb.info shows that the Polish Zloty prices tend to be anywhere from 5 to 30 percent lower than the prices in €. Maybe that's not a big enough difference, but clearly the prices are not the same. This is most likely true for the EEA/Eurozone though, seeing as pricing is set by currency.

Quoting: CorbenI'm wondering which are those price differences within the EU? Checking SteamDB the countries using Euros aren't listed separately. So I guess at least via the Steam store those prices are all the same. Then it will be keys that you can buy through retail boxes, and I guess there the store which sells them defines the price. Having those region locked seems strange to me.

I guess it is referring to the practice of distributing some Game Keys and blocking them if issued in a different country, which sounds like a scheme for applying different prices.

Only few eu countries use euro.

19 out of 27, so more than a few. But still, a significant percentage of the EU countries still have their own currencies. Many of these countries should be pursuing to adopt the shared currency as part of the membership agreement at some point in the future, but I think the specifics of this process are mostly left to the member states.

If you're worried about that, just rename or move the folder instead.
