Also the way they talk about it Revenge of the Titans and Cortex Command are coming to Steam[/QUOTE]
i doubt that was the surprise they did say in dev chat mini faq steams coming so there is still a surprise
Osmos is such an awesome game, I've had it since it came out and still haven't fully completed it.
I'd accept any sort of extra change on PayPal. I don't have any currency at the moment, but I do have an IPTorrents invite which is nice.

Holy shit, you can add them to steam now? Buying them as soon as i get home.
Machinarium was really good.

they just announced that they'll add a bittorrent download for the games, web seeded and everything[/QUOTE]
Smug bastard. I don't like him, in fact I think I hate data even more now.
[QUOTE=Barnhouse;26807380]how the hell do I play Braid? I'm too stupid to work out how to get half the puzzle pieces. There must be something I'm missing.[/QUOTE]
Hope I don't get ninja'd, but you can jump on puzzle pieces after you place them.
Machinarium is really pretty but it's probably one of the most tedious and anger inducing games I've played in years.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I love CC, but the dev seems like a real ignorant fuck.
"david" on the topic of money lost from people paying less than 40 cents or whatever it is
david : well the generous folks make up for it
david : but probably several thousand

What did he say?
[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;26813756]Machinarium is really pretty but it's probably one of the most tedious and anger inducing games I've played in years.[/QUOTE]
It's really well designed for the first few screens, when all the puzzles are localized to a single screen. But then the world opens up a bit more and it turns into an adventure game with one of the worst cases of "adventure logic" (as in, why am I picking this shit up, and why am I doing this puzzle) ever recorded.
It's too bad, too, because the art is beautiful.

From what I understand, Data (developer) just feels no obligation to his community or to really finish the game... or at least, that's what I got from his posts in the forum. I didn't hear what he said on TIG, though...

That was pretty much the gist of it, what a prick.
Anyone know how to transfer my save from my original machinarium install to steam? I looked at the files and its all ones and zeros :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=Tabarnaco;26814196]What did he say?[/QUOTE]
Basically:
I don't need to finish the game, I'll do it whenever I want, I'm not your "slave" nor do I give a fuck you gave me your money
I have no legal obligation
I have lots of things to do, don't bother me with your petty needs
Active development = wanting to finish the game, and not necessarily actually working on the game

Yeah, [url=http://forums.datarealms.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=20691]this[/url] post (linked from the Data Realms forums) shows some significant douche-baggery.
He does have a point in saying that he's making the game for his own enjoyment. And, well, people that bought it were warned that it may not be finished... but he's basically admitting he probably won't finish Cortex Command any time soon. If you look at his blog, he's already started making another game, without even finishing the one people have already paid for... (something which other developers, like Notch, are guilty of... but at least Notch already has a functioning, nearly-complete game and a whole studio.)

I really hope Cortex Command goes open-source as part of the bundle or something. Then people could actually finish it rather than being at the mercy of this developer who appears to have taken his fans' money and ran.
Nothing wrong with what Notch does. If anything, Data should look to Notch or Toady for an example of how to behave.

I don't think he will, but it'd be awfully nice.
I want my money back. Data is a prick.

They're extended the end date.
Could someone buy this for me? I can't pay online.

Sent a pm.
I'm not convinced this was really worth it. Braid's kind of fun, I suppose. Machinarium is just annoying, Osmos made me sick of it within five minutes, and Cortex Command...well, I'm just fucking TERRIBLE at it. Revenge of the Titans, however, I enjoy. Always love a good TD game.
At least I have Minecraft.
