So, do objects always tell you when they have a radio conversation? If not, that would be a cool way to hide easter eggs.

Also, can you control when you get more shirts in the store? They were sold out of Men's "Video Games" shirts like 3 days after they started selling them, and they're still out.

Yes, you always know if there's a radio conversation about something once you have hovered the reticule over it. I can understand the fun "easter egg" part of that being obscured information, but I think that would wear thin pretty quickly, since it doesn't really make sense if you as a player character aren't sure if you are able to have something to say about something or not. We're not trying to make a pixel-hunty game, we want the player's verbs to be clear and the interesting part is how, when, and if the player expresses them rather than not being sure if you can.

And yeah the store is undergoing some changes. We are taking the store fully in-house (the way we run the Idle Thumbs store) and that will go live very soon--I was actually just doing a last pass on our new store design. Once it switches over we'll be able to do reorders whenever we want as we'll be directing manufacturing/fulfillment/etc.

I mean, yeah. You shouldn't sacrifice game for jokes. That makes total sense. Though, a lot of the fun in adventure games is finding those hidden moments, and being able to take ownership of them because you found it where others didn't. Obviously, there's tons of ways to create those experiences without betraying your mechanics.

Also, it's great that I will soon be able to throw money at you.

And not every object can necessarily be radioed about at all times, because it would be crazy and basically impossible content-wise to have unique radio dialogue for, like, every single individual beer can, or something.

Sounds like quitters words to me :colbert:

I love the jifs you guys have up of the art process, color grading is one of my interests from when I was in filmschool (ugh) so its neat to see the effect on the models. Really cool that Olly can edit that stuff directly too

Art Print Update #2

Hi Again!

I wanted to give you another update on the status of the Experience, Protect and Defend prints you ordered (you may have just ordered one or the whole set).

As I said in my last email, a printing error at our Portland-based screen-printing shop meant we had to re-do the entire run.  That's around 2000 individual posters. I wanted to let you know that we're about a week and half away from finishing the job, they'll be sent straight to our amazing fulfillment partner from the printer, and then packaged and tubed and sent to you within 48-72 hours of that. 

Again, we're sorry these have taken so long and without the error, you'd have yours already.  These are all being done by hand at a very-high-end screenprinter so it just takes time to get them perfect.  One-by-one, each poster gets a new layer of ink and I believe the Defend poster alone has twelve layers of ink.  But we're almost finished and they'll be sent as quickly as possible.

Thank you for patience!

Sean Vanaman

Yeah the colors looked good until the last screen or second to last, and then it went a little crazy. They're redoing them, but it caused a train wreck with the schedule at the screenprinting shop, which made things slip weeks. It's a bummer, but I was really happy with the way the original "Volunteer" poster came out, so I suspect it will be worth it when they finally ship.

It looks good, but I'm worried most of the dialogue will be too cute or clever for its own good. Like not every line needs to be some awkward sarcastic quip. I don't know, I think we've seen way too much of that kind of writing lately.

Demo with dev commentary

The part that stood out to me the most in the playthrough was the first-person hand animation when the main character is putting in the combination in the lock, and here the devs mention the animator, and it's the guy who did Dance Fortress! Pretty cool imo

Yeah, more information here. His style is distinctive enough that I recognized it as his work before even seeing that it was the same guy.

I've been following this game and thread for a while and pretty stoked for this. But I agree with you the dialogue seems kinda...off. Like it seems to suffer from someone writing it first and not actually saying it out loud. Games early though and the style more then makes up for dialogue flaw so far.

(I trust the developers not to be cheesy enough to have the boss in the other tower be dead all along/never existed)

They were intended to be limited release. If it makes you feel any better they were supposed to be here in January / early February, and I only got my shipping notification this week. Apparently there were printing issues.
