We would love to use(steal) your ideas! To enter the contest, you'll need the following: A funny app name A humorous description for your app A square logo(512x512 minimum) (Optional) A couple of fake reviews of the app What do you win if your idea gets selected?

We also ask you to post about it on twitter and/or Facebook. Tag us in the post, and we'll Like/Favorite it! We don't have a set contest deadline just yet, but don't wait too long!

Hey everyone, I wanted to put a feeler out there. We've been talking about who we wanted as our narrator for SpaceVenture since the unfortunate fact that the legendary Gary Owen's has passed away. The question I have for you guys is this. How do you feel about us finding a Gary Owens voice match? In other words, this would be an actor that can match Gary Owens as closely as possible. I know no one can truly replace the man with the golden pipes, but there are people out there that can match him pretty closely. So what are your thoughts? Would you guys like a voice match for SpaceVenture, or someone else with another unique voice? We've got some people in mind that could do that as well. Anyway, please let me know your thoughts :) Thanks everyone!

Hah, I wish Pewdiepie would play it!

Exciting news. We just went live with Cluck Yegger In Escape From the Planet of the Poultroid on Steam! Early bird special, only $2.99. Please help spread the word. http://store.steampowered.com/app/416800. Also, the next update will contain info about Steam backer keys for $15 and up backers. Please be patient, we're working on it. :)

Hey Bakhtosh, We unfortunately have not gotten as detailed of feedback as you have given, so it's hard to say if other have experienced your same frustrations. I will tell you that most of the feedback we have received has been positive. As you probably know, the game is about trial and error to some extent. Even though it's a mini game, we didn't want to make it super easy. This game is a parody of the wildly successful Five nights at freddy franchise. Oddly enough, that game has no instructions and very little VO help to tell you what to do. It managed to sell thousands of copies though and has an insanely loyal following. I 100% agree that things need to be a little more clear, which is why our next update will include more VO from cluck to hint at some more things. Perhaps more instructions as well. It's a little bit of a balancing act though. We do want the game to be beatable, but not too easy. Thanks again for all your feedback :)

In response to: Things I still don’t understand: What’s the point of turning on the lights? The foes are moving from room to room without me doing something. If I turn on the lights foes are running into a neighboring room. What’s the advantage if he can still move into my direction? When the chickens are flashed, they retreat to a location that is further away from cluck. Each chicken has a certain path that it takes to get to the cockpit, although I will tell you that after night 5, they start skipping rooms to get to you. You can still keep flashing them to make them go back. An intuitive strategy would be to try to detect the foes using the camera in different modes and to scare them so that they reach the cockpit later than if you don’t do that. But since it happens that you scare the foes also into your direction that doesn’t work well for me. You have two possible directions to check and if you use much light or night vision you lose too much battery power checking all the rooms to reach the end of the night. Additionally you are interrupted too often later on by the cockpit window attacks and by random short circuits. So I believe my last response answers this. Flashing them makes them go further away. They will never get closer to you if they are flashed. By the way, thanks for this feedback. It's helpful to hear the kinds of things you've brought up:)

Hey everyone, the camera static issues that were appearing in the Linux build of the game should be fixed. Try downloading a new copy and give that a shot :)

The linux build just got an update last night but we were waiting to announce this mrning ;)

Thanks! :)

Thanks for the info Ohverture!

Hey guys, we realized just now that the Turn Off VO button is currently broken. This is due to a last minute change we made. We'll have an update out as soon as possible that will fix this. UPDATE: This is currently fixed in the Linux build.

Thanks for the support Chrono and Tom! :)

Hey everyone! We just got Cluck Yegger in Escape From The Planet of the Poultroid published up on Steam Greenlight. We would absolutely love it if you guys would vote yes to have the game greenlit. Any help spreading the word would be amazing as well. Visit: http://cluckyegger.com Thanks!

Hey everyone! Your friendly neighborhood SpacePope here. We hope everyone is excited about the latest SpaceVenture update (Click here to view). Not that the Two Guys are out of hilarious ideas, but we thought it would be fun to get the community involved on this. We'd like your ideas for funny content for Taco Nova. In fact, if your ideas are good, we might even steal appropriate them for use in SpaceVenture! So here is what we are looking for: Meal names Combo names Beverage Names Advertisement Slogans You can submit them here by replying to this thread. Thanks so much everyone!

Noted sujak :)

@PurpleTentacle thanks for the feedback. The positive and negative comments are both appreciated. Trust me when I say, I know my grammar isn't the best. I do want you to know that what is posted on the updates are all items that are agreed upon before hand. I do not post anything that Mark and Scott aren't aware of. That is part of the reason why things are a bit vague, the three of us must come to terms with what is allowed to go public. I am the one doing the updates because I'm working pretty closely with almost everyone on the team, more so than anyone else. Part of my job is keeping track of what most people are doing. As much as I'd love to pawn the the updates off on Troels(huge stress relief) ;), the three of us agree it best that I handle them since I'm in touch with everyone on team. I actually just had a 45 minute discussion with Mark(whom happened to be around at the time) on this topic tonight and we are both gonna talk to Scott on this as well. I really do want to give you guys all more input, and I think that is gonna happen. Keep an eye out for the next update. And thanks again for the feedback, I really mean that :)

Hey everyone! We'd love for you to help us come up with 101 uses for a frosty cup of Soylent Smoothee! Some of the best lines might just get mentioned in SpaceVenture itself ;)
