Cool game. I like it.

I found 37 cards and stuck now in place where I should "stabilize the arrangement".
I just don't understand in which place of this "room" I should arrange pieces.
Or it doesn't matter and this puzzle has multiple solutions?
Hmm... Okay, I'll try to solve this puzzle again...

Here are a couple of hints:

1) You swap the colored blocks onto the pics of the bosses.

2) If you really get stuck there are only 6 possible combinations (one of the pieces has been placed for you).

3) Read the hints in the nearby rooms.

4) One of the colors is listed by name in these hints, meaning that there are actually only 2 options.

I didn't think the puzzle was that bad, I thought it was pretty obvious what needed to happen.

Well, I solved it.


It was not oblivious that I should put colored boxes in places where monster pics were placed. After that I tried arrange monsters in true order but colored boxes were in wrong place. Door didn't open. After that I tried place colored boxes into right places but in wrong order. It also didn't work. Hmm... Strange puzzle.

thanks fallsburg. we pulled the puzzle for the time being until we can make it...solvable. it was a mistake on my part. pulling it wasn't ideal but I think better than making people unfairly stuck

so there's been that whole thing with the piracy...which has gotten me thinking a lot about piracy, but too tired to post.


ah, game-related...jon made an infinitely better way to phrase that last puzzle so it'll go back in later. no controller uspport yet, my hand hurts, have two midterm things this week, and then something absolutely crazy friday and this weekend...surprises....

gah, hi.

still haven't done controller support. i will eventually. I swear. a lot of crap on my mind.

first of all since i love tigsource, TPB asked us if we'd like to do a 72 horu promo on their front page. we are doing that, and it starts at 5 AM tomorrow morning. we also got a humble store and wil be doing a min-$1 PWYW sale for the duration of the promo. also i'm selling my soundtrack for min $0.01 PWYW during the promo.

i don't know, it's weird, this is happening pretty fast. It's interesting...and i'm very thankful.

well back to doing some homework. anyone ever read hobbes' leviathan? i gotta write about it...

Reviews have generally been mixed-positive. Ihaven't seen any negative reviews yet. Here are a few that I like for their thoughts on the game.

Oh sweet that's good to hear you got accepted. I rather hope my game gets accepted but I kinda think not have a linux port will hurt its chances greatly since all-platform support is somewhat humble's mantra.

Your gam seems to be getting a lot of press lately which is cool and don't sweat about gamepad support since I imagine most use keybindings anyway. Hand Thumbs Up Right

yeah i mean the game uses four directions and 3 buttons so it doesnt seem hard to set up...i wkinda want to do it but i mean i designed the game with keyboard in mind so eh eventually posssibly


hey gabriel:

Okay, so http://torrentfreak.com/pirated-indie-game-devs-get-full-pirate-bay-support-to-crack-steam-120215/ has the story . essentially someone contacted me and asked to upload, i said ok, mod took it down by accident a few days later, /r/gaming and /r/piracy picked the story up, i responded saying "ok its fine if you cant pay/etc" and then re-uploaded the torrent myself, then TPB contacted me!

Has the whole TPB promotion thing actually increased sales?  Would be pretty interesting to see some statistics on this, if possible.

Yes. We've sold more copies than the past two weeks (albeit at an average of $1.50). But it's unlikely we would have sold as much if we didn't do it, press was dying out to the point where we were in the "pray some big youtube person covers you" stage.

That TPB thing was interesting.
How did this affect the Greenlight? Did you see any larger than normal increase in the vote curve?

Right, well, my friend and I both went into the game knowing that the only game we'd both thinking it was a Zelda-like and so far that seems accurate, I also knew the character would get a broom as a weapon, but besides that, that's it.

We both started playing at about the same time, and we were in a Skype call together.
Honestly I figured since he played Zelda games more religiously than I did, he'd have this game down, but we were about even the whole way through. He found the first key's gate when I found the 8th's health point, and we then told each other where the other person's find was and flipped.
Getting into the second area, I found out the hard way how drowning works, and then accidentally found out how to avoid it by talking to a cat and having him follow me in the water. I was exploring around and found the whirlpool, which made me doubt whether Young is a protagonist. Entering the second key's dungeon, my friend and I both realized, this place is messed up and slightly disturbing.
I got the second key a little faster, then went to explore the mountains and the forest. The last words we said to each other about the game before we went to go play TF2 were:
Quote
Him: "Hey, when you press continue, you wake up!"
Me: "Or do you fall back asleep?"
Him: "...I hate you."

Ah, glad to see you're having a good time Smiley I'm very happy about that.


Hipshot: Greenlight has been very good as a result of this, the voting curve is insane at the moment, but will probably quickly level out (...or not?) after the promo
