Yeah, rereleased by Devolver (I got my brain back, I think).
I'm aware that it's an old game and that it would be ridiculous to expect some big buzz, but I find the silence about it since release deafening.
Didn't even see a review on PC Gamer / RPS / Eurogamer. I might have missed it and it's not a stellar bunch of reviewers (the fucking state of PC journalism), yeah, but still, zero feedback.
Looking at the Steam forums, it seems the game is missing some effects in certain levels and there seem to be bugs with audio mixing. I'd wait for some patches to drop before starting it.
 
I guess Epic refused to pay for this one? 😂

Annapurna is on my blacklist on Steam and stays there. They are one of the biggest supporters of Epic's exclusivity tactics.
Maybe you shouldn't punish a dev for something his publisher did?
 
Eliza is really really good. It doesn't offer much in terms of choices and consequences but the story is very interesting and brilliantly written. If you're into existentialist stuff about the future of big tech, AI and ethics and people searching for their own identity and their place in the world (and rain... and Seattle), I highly recommend it. Zachtronics is by far one of the most interesting and smart studios out there at this moment.
 
If there's a way to buy this game without giving money to Annapurna, I'd love to hear it.
Ask the dev on twitter? Maybe he has a patreon/paypal and could provide you with Steam key.
Or just pirate the game and send him money some way
 
For the German speaking ones among us

For the English speakers amongst us who don't use google translate... basically they used the German word for "Miss" as in "Miss Jones" instead of the word for "Miss" as in "Not Hit". lol.

Li Kao The Pilgrim Adventures games are bloody great and even better for being cheap. They are RPG Maker type games but there's no combat just nice graphics and a great set of stories. The games are shortish so they don't outstay their welcome but i find them compelling enough that i jumped into the next game in the series straight away. It's another dev that has improved with each game and as you can get all their games for about £5 at the moment i recommend them! The Deed was their debut release. Space Pilgrim & Space Pilgrim Academy are set in the same universe and narratively linked.

There are thousands of other devs. And we already "punish" the devs who have an exclusive agreement with EGS through their Pub. Even if they are held at gunpoint (the popular argument regarding those poor devs).

And we don't know the circumstances of why this game is not exclusives.
  • did the other Annapurna releases bomb and Epic is not willing to fund another Annapurna game? or Annapurna doesn't want exclusivity anymore because the games bombed. --> could be that the dev was hoping for a deal but didn't get it.
  • did the dev say no to the deal? ---> Again, goes against the popular argument that devs have no say in those deals. And did the dev publically said he will never do an exclusive agreement?
  • is the Annapurna - EGS deal still on but this release wasn't worth it?

No dev is entitled to our money. A customer could blacklist a dev because the dev likes the color green. That's his right.
 
Holy damn, is Dicey Dungeons good! Just got to the 3rd floor, and I had to force myself to stop playing because I'm hanging out with friends tonight. But between you and me, I wish I had stayed home playing :p

I totally agree ;)

Here's our review on Dystopeek.fr about Dicey Dungeons (in French, obviously :p ) :


Did I mentioned before DeepL Translator being a lot better than Google Translate ? :steam_cleanseal:
 
Does anyone, by any chance, have gift link's for Indiegala's Artifex Mundi bundle 5, or Artifex Mundi bundle 9 (from those happy hours they have, where you can get gift copies)?

If anyone has one of either, and is willing to trade for a few games, please send me a PM.
thanks :)

We are allowed to talk about Trover despite JonTrons commercial involvement and Ion Fury despite the Discord/Twitter stuff here right?

You posted the Tharja mod, so I'll go with the Camilla mod, same modder.

Like clockwork, console players get a taste of what PC have had for years and its like alien technology for them.

Never forget secret sauce PS5 SSD conversations

How can the PS kill PC gaming when we have the power of porn and anime on our side?
 
I like how someone posted about the inconvenience of system updates and driver updates on PC (shit that usually done in a background) without mentioning how console updates can turn your precious box into a fucking brick.

Even without the risk of that, system updates on console are usually more of a hassle to install for me than anything on Windows.

Gamepass for PC 3 months for $5 Buy Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) - Microsoft Store

Some are saying new subs only. I had a regular game pass sub when I upgraded to PC. I was still able to grab this.

Thanks, will probably grab this closer to the end of the deal for Gears 5.

If i wanted to discuss PC stuff with non-pc players, I'd post in an EGS thread.

Damn, seeing how someone made a 5 hours long video on why P5 is style over substance I wonder why do they need so much time to proclaim that. You can explain the shallowness of the gameplay, the lack of thematical depth and restrictiveness of design in 20 minutes or less.

You could say that is quantity over quality :minos_hd:
