i'd like to know the origin of "what is AI, who is ACAMS". I know what SFTW is after some forum digging.

i cant remember exactly what the circumstances were but I think it was in the short lived "BOOM TOURNEY" thread in response to how mrhalitosis was going to film the matches
he was also going to use a video camera aimed at the screen to record

glad their trying to answer some of our questions. kinda worried they didn't adress the DLC/Microtransaction issue, but I don't think they would actually implement that.

The mentioned update: http://steamcommunity.com/games/363530/announcements/detail/870691953112851844

I appreciate the honesty from the devs, there's no bullsh** or vagueness. The price seems pretty fair as well.

Like most folks who create games we would like to have enough financial success so we can continue to add new features and make more significant improvements beyond our launch.
I'm hoping the the new features don't come from DLC and don't just consist of components and such. Their reluctance to make the game open to mods at the beginning worries because that means they can just put components in DLC without mods affecting the meta.

Am I the only one who is really annoyed that this is steam only? I really want a PS4 version cause the only thing computer wise I have is a crap school level laptop.


Also I'll pay £5 or lower for this. I'll have three other games out that week and this is second highest pioirity.

I'd rather they focused on making the actual game rather than porting. I can't imagine building would work well on a controller either since that requires a certain amount of precision that would probably just get frustrating on a controller.

I was honestly thinking that it would be around $10 or $15, but RA2 was also $20, so no real complaints here.

I think by "financial success" they mean "support the dev instead of just pirating it" or something along those lines. They also mention how RA2 was basically free because of it's abandonware status.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

I understand why you'd want a PS4 version, but I get the feeling it'd be laughed at. Of course, low quality isn't a bad thing (as Naryar said a little while back, we play a 2003 game) but games you see on PS4 usually aren't as... simplistic, should I say? I don't know, maybe this is just me fearing it getting ripped apart by critics. I don't know what the final game will be like, of course, but... I simply just don't think it would be very well received.

Somehow I feel as if I'll be wrong about what I said there, though.
