Still deciding whether or not I should launch as early access.. I do plan on supporting and updating it after release. Big thing I want to do after initial release is adding in multiplayer :).

Great to hear you closing up on things.

I guess the early access depends on the completion status and how confident you are in meeting deadlines for after release. I guess one could also see it as a marketing device, I suppose there are other indies that have shared their experience.

I can say that personally I'm really looking forward to this, but wouldn't want to get something very buggy and have to wait months and months to be able to enjoy it. I'd be happy to buy early (for discounted price) and try the game like a demo if you will.

blackdog I tried to compile on my other machine, but steam doesnt allow you to have the same game open on 2 different computers. And this includes CSGO SDK so I would have to get a new account and csgo to compile on one machine while working on the other. Not something that's hard to do, but I didn't really bother yet as overnight compiles are fine.

I know it's not a problem, but for the sake of conversation... does Steam don't offer the "offline mode" anymore? that should allow for two simultaneous instances running (that's how I played Sin Episode 1 before buying it).

It's too over the top to get into it. Also over the top jokes are not so funny.

Quote from Pampers

what do you work as?

I'm "hospitality supervisor" in a field centre*, but they were smart when they put out the job description and gave me the promotion, as "it's a 'hands on job'" that means I still do everything like I was doing before (from help in food prep or serve to cleaning toilets while cleaning and making up rooms for the guests) plus the responsibility of checking on other people's work and some office duties while never getting any time assigned for it on the rota.

We are constantly under-staffed, and last few weeks, with the added burden of having families in, were worse cos the only other full-time housekeeper was sick for 3 weeks, another was on and off and is never reliable.

Today I had two outbursts out of desperation (trashed my breakfast cos was interrupted and it had gone cold, then the chef commented on the aformentioned evening guy saying "he doesn't like [doing washing up] anyway") I really need to calm down or I'll blow up in my boss face.

*like a hostel for schools, we get school groups that stay average 2-3 nights and study or do exams on geography biology. At the moment school's off so we have the family holidays, so they do outdoor activity for kids.

Any special tools you are using that you were happy you didn't need patches or updates to have working? (UE, Unity, Maya etc)

Cool bit!

Was this shared?

It's certainly not gamer-friendly, but then you can buy both consoles for the price of a single decent gaming PC so I don't have that much of a problem with it within the scope of consoles. Ironically enough though, there are less platform exclusives around these days so it's more of a pain in the ass to buy the second console because there's so little stuff that I need it for — except those sweet-ass few games.

Ye in terms of cost it's definitely doable, it's just that with the little time I have to play, I prefer to stick with one thing only, I would hardly say "I don't have anything to play", although I remember sometime thinking that when I got the X360 and some days I wasn't feeling like playing a serious AAA and just wanted something for 30 minutes.

I'll try to keep it to one nationalist household for the map. The flag was added to catch the player's eye and bring attention that there is another path.

Fair enough! Gameplay first

Another 3 hours overtime. I just want to say "fuck this shit!" and leave.

I just went "fuck it's 7!" That my boss turned into the pantry door and asked me to clean another room… when we have the evening guy working tonight!!! Was so humiliating, as technically i should be his supervisor.

My understanding is that QB is MS' property, whether AW is Remedy's… so wouldn't hold my breath. This is the kind of exclusive they need to sell units… although all the exclusives got to Windows at least, Halo Wars is announced for PC from the start.

I bought the X360 for Alan Wake, after hearing about the backward compatibility I am hoping try expand the list to the games I haven't finished, I would trade in my X360 for a One at that point.

Yeah I think the old faces where more charismatic! When I saw this I couldn't help but think "hey I recently seen that face! Who's that guy from?"

Well done you two!

B starts to look real pretty, can't wait to see more.

My only complaint would be on the Italian flags, seems a bit of an unnecessary reinforcement… don't start putting them everywhere, as we are not nationalists, you'd be better off with football flags, Milan, Inter, Juventus or since the area maybe Fiorentina. Peace flags used to be more common than national flags.

Message me when you need those signs checked.

Early morning train to work ?

Exciting.

So appears that Warner is delaying two movies with Affleck (one he's due to direct).

This after a private screening of Dawn Of Justice, rumours has it that Warner bosses decided that the next 10 years of DC comics tie-ins will be Affleck-centric and they are offering him a stand alone trilogy, on top of the other projects in which Batman will feature in an ensemble cast.

When do u lunch ur Kikstarter?

I don't see the reason why to kickstart it... I'm sure it'd be greenlit in a couple days. Eventually put out an Early Access there.

Whiplash is in my list, just waiting to be in the right mood.

Furious 7
I can't decide if this shit is worse than the 6 or not. They have gone way too far already, stuff on screen is so absurd is not even enjoyable, just makes you go "bhoaaa come on". Also I think that Statham's casting was completely off, he just doesn't feel like a villain, he always find the crew even if he's supposed not to know where they are (how the hell did he knew to find them in the Emirates? at least in FF6 there was the double agent...). Djmon is there only to say "Fire", poor guy, and Tyrese has become such an annoying character, he's there just to remind us what went down in previous chapters and make you notice how bigger bollocks they've come up this time.

Edge Of Tomorrow
I had incredibly low expectations when it was coming out, I remember saying to a friend "ready for the worst movie of the year?" but I was pleasantly surprised to find that the movie is very enjoyable. Then maybe it's also I am in need of testosterone filled stuff since I'm pretty stressed. Anyway, good popcorn.

Pacific Rim
Maybe cos yesterday I was really angry with the world, but found it awesome (at release I was like "that's such bullshit movie").

One of the most annoying and unfair weeks on my job. Capped it today by working 7:00-18:00 without any break since 9:00. I'm fed up.

Found a German video linked elsewhere, the gameplay sections seen in the interview are here in direct feed

Never seen so many cliché catchphrases in two minutes of video!

As I said previously, I don't think this is my kind of game... but it's still fascinating. One must admire the technology prowess, the courage to try a different thing.

So because of related videos on YT, noticed there were more behind the scenes/featurettes... looks like IGN has an exclusive deal with the guys? Anyway, if I understand correctly, they (almost) lost everything because of a catastrophic flood that hit UK two years ago

what inspired the game

they already explained in other videos but for those who haven't seen, a brief explanation on how the whole system works. There's also a bit of info on the creatures, how they are generated

what I don't like about that is that creatures are basically assigned to a planet, while I would like to see or expect something that makes sense: certain variables create a certain life form.

The economy, or what is this game after all
