I think the IOS platform is probably the most lucrative for FS, so that's understandable. I'm not sure why, but I don't think the PC market does as well, maybe due to piracy issues. I think Steam has made a big change in that recently though, and many developers are doing well there.. I just...
This is kinda how I feel, granting that FS is doing their best I'm sure with the various roadblocks for these two platforms. It is disappointing to see the IOS get all the new releases while I sit on my thumbs waiting for the PC version. I would get the IOS versions but I don't really want...
I would buy from Amazon if they did that. Does this mean they have to implement software DRM though? It was all so awful before Steam made it tolerable. I don't play this game at all anymore and I would like to, so I'd be happy just to see something going with the PC side of things.
Made a post about TPA on the BYOAC (Build your own Arcade Controls) forums, an old favorite lurking spot of mine. Check it out if you haven't been! It's a place for building arcade cabinets (and pincabs) and getting help with that.
I gave them the greenlight link and a probably too wordy...
I'm waiting as patiently as possible, myself, it's pretty rough though, these were two out of three games I was really waiting for (the third being BK2K). If you want to help, I think we should start campaigns to promote TPA on greenlight on the major video game forums out there, to get more...
We should do a campaign on major gaming forums and rally up some more votes. Neogaf, Reddit, 4chan/v/, who else? Think we could get some folks at cheapassgamer? I did one a few weeks back on /v/ with some pinball fans coming in but it wasn't huge, I could try again. Who wants to help...
Guys, I was just up late (sick and coughing my brains out, so just sitting here browsing because I can't sleep) and I saw a new version of Karateka came out!
I enjoyed the old one for a time on my C64, but this new version doesn't really tickle my fancy. But then I noticed:
"Publisher...
I know I won't buy it on Origin or the Windows 8 store. Steam or a retail disc for PC would be my preference. It's a shame about greenlight, it sounded so cool and to some extent it is, but I didn't think it would turn out to be such a thorn in all of our sides. And Farsight should get a pass...
I feel kinda bad that some of the questions are phrased as "status of..." or similar, it sounds a little demanding and it's not like I'm an investor or anything. Anyone agree?
Nice to see some other devs here giving support! And count me in for enjoying Postal 2. Nothing wrong with a little tasteless humor now and then. Hell, I grew up on Mad and Cracked magazines, so I guess I was desensitized at a pretty young age anyway. Welcome to the forum!
That's my assumption. Think about all the AAA developers on Steam, how do they do it? Activision has more money than god, and of course they don't go through greenlight. Heck, even many indie titles clearly made by very small teams got on there before GL existed, and they probably had limited...
Steam is decent, guys. And that's where the money is for Farsight, like it or not. I think they should be considered a big enough player to skip the greenlight process, though. Greenlight was made for small developers. The problem with greenlight is that it is fully controlled by the force...
Bummer, but I expected this. I'm still wondering what the cost of putting your game on Steam outright is. Kickstarter for that maybe? I would consider it if I knew what the target would be.
