Quoting: CAPTNCAPSWHOA! Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is 0.74USD?! WHY TF IS IT 1.40€ THEN? 0.74$ == 0.70€ >_>

For me it showed USD 0.74, so it probably has to do with regional pricing. A similar problem happened to some readers in this article. Though currently I'm seeing these titles cost USD 0.80 now. :huh:

Thank you all for letting us know about the issue.

Quoting: GuestI’m surprised you mention playing with the mouse as I found it almost completely impossible and used the keyboard instead.

Did you try increasing the mouse sensitivity to 100 on the Options? That's what I did and it was much more comfortable.

Quoting: KelsOh, and I found it a lot more intuitive to use a controller. Surprised you didn't mention it.

It's because I don't have a gamepad (remember you can check the specs of every user on the profiles); though the developers recommend to use one, as it's stated on the official description at the bottom of the article. ;)

EDIT: Misspelling.

Wow, so many good news lately! I have a serious hunch that 2017 will be the Year of Linux...

Quoting: BeamboomBattlefield is ALL about multiplayer. It simply can't be "Battlefield-like" without it. Secondly, battlefield is about cutting edge graphics and effects. This... Not so much. What's the similarity? The first person perspective? That you hold a gun and shoot stuff?

The term serves to give you a general idea about how the game is (war setting, large maps, teamwork and use of vehicles) otherwise the title of the article would be extremely long. It's like when the "rogue-like" description is used. Though if you think another kind of description would be more accurate feel free to share it; of course it has to be as short as possible.

The only thing that I can explicitly say I found annoying is the fact that you can't skip the dialogue by clicking the mouse;

I work with a guy who wrote the game, he’s sitting next to me right now, and he’s saying you can – but you need to use the right mouse button. ;-)

Weird choice. :)

I wasn't expecting so many answers. I read them all and I will keep them in mind, thank you. As for Human Resource Machine, I already have it in my wishlist. :)

Quoting: Guest"Overwhelmingly positive" means nothing, and this is another proof.

The cathegory doesn't necessarily mean they're instant classics, but it's very useful to discover some excellent games, for sure.

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. :(

Quoting: Naibsounds (and reads if drunk) too much like Syphilis

Don't get drunk then.

Some ideas here. As with any other idea of my own, I don't "demand" them to be present, I simply consider they might have some potential:

- "Biggest Surprise" (An unexpected game that blew your mind)
- "Best sequel/prequel/spin off"
- "Best multiplayer game/Best game to livestream"
- Something like "Game with the most responsive developers"... after all, one of the biggest issues in our community is the deficient communication or outright broken promises.

Quoting: SangreDeReptilOn a related note, by reading all the comments I had an idea (that I'll post here so that you can Like it if you agree): what about giving these communicative developers a special badge, like the "GOL Supporter" and the "Contributing Editor" ones? Not only it would be a gesture of respect for caring about our community, but also it would be easier to find the developers' responses among the huge number of comments in articles like this. It would only take a single mail to verify the identity and that should be enough.

We used to do it, but removed it, can't remember why. I just added it back in and enabled it for them :)

This is nice. Also, potential trolls won't be able to impersonate developers now.

WorthlessBums, thank you for all your clarifications. From time to time some people complain about the lack of transparency behind some of the developers' decisions, and seeing you here taking the time to address every single comment is something really remarkable. Besides, all the information you provide helps to bring some light about the main and current problems we have to address to finally become an accessible and profitable platform for game developers.
