Nice one SJ!

[Sonic Jam]

Cheers Pretty damn excited about this, although I can't spare the time to go myself Jeff will be going and attending Sony's various events!

[guttermouth]

So how long until we can purchase it?? Are we getting close??

[Megaman]

More importantly, how long until it's free on PS+?

[Sonic Jam]

It's getting close but it's been a lot tougher than we would have liked to finish things/do marketing etc, based on how things are going I'm hopeful the PS4 release won't be far behind PC.

I don't know the logistics of the PS+ deals but since we're making a fairly niche game it's actually something I'd consider... Getting it in the hands of that huge player base would be rad. For now the focus is just on making a good game and hoping people buy it.

The whole 'looks like a PS+ freebie' mentality is troubling in some ways because you can really devalue small games, but I think there are games where it makes sense.

I heard an interview with the Thomas Was Alone guy where he talked about being free on PS+, he couldn't talk about specifics but he was pretty pleased with what it did for the game.

Loving Shiitake and the new updates to the levels cranked out some more 4p last night. The third boss was pretty tough but exhilarating to take down together

The whole 'looks like a PS+ freebie' mentality is troubling in some ways because you can really devalue small games, but I think there are games where it makes sense.

Sony and MS are in a race to the bottom, with both offering free rentals usually of indie titles I refuse to buy small games anymore, because I expect to see them for free eventually.

Also with free to play games becoming a much bigger focus, steam sales in general games are being devalued and consumer expectations are matching.

Overall I'm not sure if this is a good thing, but I have seen that whales are making F2P companies a lot of cash, It's ironic how we've regressed back to arcade style gaming as a service.

You're not referring to Kim Kardashian and her multi-hundred million dollar making video game 'Kim Kardashian: Hollywood', are you?

In case anybody here doesn't already have this game, it comes out on the 23rd of this month for Steam. Next year for consoles that aren't the 'bone. Never, for Android, apparently.

Talk about false advertising!

[GreyWizzard]

Quick post the launch trailer! I'm on a phone and don't get the correct links

Trailer is rad AF!

[Deef]

Awesome stuff.

[Sonic Jam]

Not long now, though we had to push back consoles for a few reasons, sorry about that.

Here are some steam codes

Spoiler!

JC6WC-NG99P-8Y3GA
3X9LJ-D3A0D-Y9E2W
LCCKF-B2HLM-LKLMK

[unfnknblvbl]

First person that doesn't already own this game to read this thread not attempt to redeem one of those codes gets a punch in the face.

[GreyWizzard]

Meer hours until launch!

[Ben]

Long road, happy to hear of impending release!

[GreyWizzard]

It's up!

8.8 from IGN!

[Madmya]

Shit the bed!

[Ben]

Saw the Kotaku write up about the issues you were having with regarding the xbox one controller firmware SJ. Sucks!

[unfnknblvbl]

8.8 is the new 10!

[Sonic Jam]

I'm pretty happy with 8.8 + editors choice, especially after getting a few 7's from people who didn't really seem to enjoy this type of game

We've also had some outstanding reviews from smaller outlets, the EIC of games.on.net simply made a post telling people to buy it and Midnight Resistance gave us 11/10 A few others are in the 9.5-10 range as well. Plus we're still at 98% positive on Steam

I'm ecstatic that there are people out there who think what we made is great, I don't think the market on Steam/PC is particularly receptive to this kind of game (or at least we need a much bigger press/reviews push than we got to have a chance at greater success there) but there's a niche of people who are way in to it.
