That's art from a throwaway two week prototype when we first built our computers so "screenshot" is a little intense but yeah!

Yeah that's it! Doug Wilson, the guy who made JS Joust, wrote up a great article about the run and its meaning for Polygon - http://www.polygon.com/2013/12/23/5227726/anatomy-of-a-spelunky-miracle-or-how-the-internet-finally-beat

Idle Thumbs 148: The Octopus in My Mind Sean's in the room by himself, uh, talking to himself. But he's not alone. He is in the virtual battlefield of DayZ, where via an on-line connection to the world-wide network known as the Internet, he is able to meet up with fellow e-soldiers and scour the synthesized apocalyptic wasteland for prey. While hundreds watch, rooting from their video terminals at home, he and his band hunt a man from the United Kingdom and kill him. Also Nick Breckon's here! Things Discussed: The Walking Dead Season Two, Starbound, DayZ, Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare, Far Cry 2 Listen on the Episode Page Listen in iTunes Subscribe to the RSS Feed

Yeah more info would help!

That address is not super secret. BUT BioShock sequel confirmed for sure.

Idle Thumbs 144: Gimme Some More Nick returns from Disneyland, armed with the latest tips and tricks for the hottest rides, but what help are the hidden moves when the whole game is rigged against you?

"To read" is for stuff we plan to read.

Friday I think.

Wow

Oh man that's not bad. Then you wouldn't have to change any existing dialog.

If campo santo created any Half Life content it would be a talking mod for Gordon.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the Arkham games* were baked, with dynamic shadows and a lot of color grading. * or at least Asylum.

It's usually me but sometimes it is Sean or Chris (like this week, which is Sean)!

If it was, you would have heard it by now.

Nothing in that is made up, except probably the sea shanty.

please refer to as protone control (or probone control)

Yeah you don't want to slum it with the livestreams. Only the really distilled stuff will do.

http://esotericsoftware.com/ Spine is interesting for 2d characters who aren't straight up sprite sheets. This is closer to how the characters in broken age are done (though I've heard in broken age the characters are surprisingly complicated and special cased, sometimes blipping between sprite animations and rigged characters depending on the needs of a shot)

It's also worth remembering that the dude in charge had dudes in charge of him who had dudes in charge of them who all set expectations using different metrics.

Is that insane /forums/forum link actually present somewhere on the site?

I was at the warehouse for the folks who do our shipping today to talk about the logistics of getting the EP out to folks. Finally moving forward on this stuff again! Also, am I reading correctly that you have received nothing, but backed at the vinyl level?

Levine aggressively retweeting every irrational job related post makes me feel bad for everyone involved. I hate it.

Nobody's instant deleted/banned for posting an opinion. You might get talked at to death though.

Haha! The dark future of gaming is apparently people awkwardly strapped in to a bunch of exercise equipment.

The videos being behind closed doors last year was frustrating to me, at least, because I couldn't point other people to why AF is great. Now I can! Also yeah, you get the actual prototypes if you pay, as well as the right to be in the voting pool!
