Any news on this?

Welcome! There's a collection of SQ walkthroughs available here: http://wiw.org/~jess/hintlist.html

Definitely. It's also much more capable.

Yeah, that was my impression as well, given the +$1 "fake" tiers. I'd say keep the spreadsheet - it was immensely helpful for me when I chose my tier. I think the spreadsheet helps more than it hurts - it's obvious enough that the tiers are unfortunately complicated.

I think that's also pretty much how Incinerations summed it up. Sounds good to me :y:

It's very easy to join, but it requires buying the game (20 EUR). And it's a sandbox game, so there aren't special features for conventions or panels or anything, all of that just emerges from what the players decide to do in it.

New Kickstarter Katchup from RPS

With the new tiers, you can do both - support SpaceVenture and get download credit for the original games on GOG :y:

Reminds me of the "Warren Harding error" - he was elected as president mostly because he looked and sounded like a president. Later turned out he was shit at it.

Oh, yeah, just to clarify - I liked the content of the audio and I wouldn't mind if it was 3 hours long, as long as it were in something you listen after playing. But things like where Scott gets ideas for jokes didn't seem like critical information we absolutely need to know before playing. I guess it can work for building suspense, but it depends on how impatient you are :P

Nice, I found two of the deaths: Any hints for the third? And some criticism - I personally don't think it was a good idea to expect people to listen to a 23 minute audio clip before getting to play the prototype they've been waiting a long time for. I was anxious to play it and when I saw the "listen to this first", I thought "Ugh, fine..." and fired up my audio player. Then I saw how long it was and my first thought was "What? Seriously?! Well... Alright. I have faith in these guys, so I'll do this by the book..." Then I reluctantly listened to a little bit of it and it seems the main "before you play" point was "you won't need Chrome to play the final game", which was mentioned in text form on the website as well. The rest of it might as well have been the closing thoughts. So I decided to "cheat", stopped the audio, played the prototype and then listened to the rest of the audio. And I didn't feel like I missed anything that way. The key part here is where I listened to it just because I have faith in the Two Guys. I can imagine a lot of the skeptics and on-the-fencers seeing this and going "That's it, I'm outta here!", possibly skipping the prototype as well. They explained in an earlier podcast that focusing only on Chrome allows them to develop this much more rapidly. Spending time on making it work in every browser can take almost as much time as developing the game in the first place. So if they were putting effort into compatibility at this stage, we'd have much less to play with. Also, do you have examples of "people who don't have Chrome" other than "people who don't want to install Chrome"? It's available for free on all major platforms and you can install it in a few minutes as a non-default browser. I use Opera for almost everything, but also have Chrome on the side for stuff that works better in it

Awesome! Needs more lesbians, though.

Hmm, which gag's that?

My thought exactly. Though I guess most people who don't have Minecraft wouldn't be too happy about buying the game just for that. Although... we could probably hook it up to an IRC chat and stream video from the server...

Hmm, interesting. I haven't looked into the hangouts much. Would it be video coming from one participant and audio from others? Does everyone need a webcam or will a mic do?

I guess an even better compromise then would be to add an optional Hardcore Mode where the Try Again button is disabled :D

+1 for the "Try Again" button. To me, that makes a huge difference. To make a generalization: Death scenes with Try Again button = Fun Death scenes without Try Again button = Punishment Without having actually read the comments on AG, I'm assuming most of them are expressing their dislike of the second option, but wouldn't mind the first one. If that is the case, I agree with them completely :)

Interestingly, if you look at the chart, the $115 option still gets you less stuff than the $100 and $15 options combined.

Covered on Rock, Paper, Shotgun

Even works from Estonia. PS. Nice!

Pledge'D! Did not expect to see Ellen McLain there. Awesome. Heh, for a moment there I thought they'd gotten you to do that. In any case, I'm just going to assume it was a tribute to Incinerations.

I remember a certain Josh... :)

Yay! We fixed Paul Trowe! :D

:D

That would be Datadog
