Re: Any Unity experts here?

Any error messages were disappointingly vague. But a couple members of our local dev group did finally figure out that it was running out of memory. I know now to downscale images before importing them, rather than just doing it within Unity. Thanks for your comments.

Re: Alien Isolation negative reviews

I suppose we should be specific about what we mean by "unfair". We seemed to be implying that in a "fair" game, players could develop their skills to an extent that they would be successful 100% of the time. But obviously this definition wouldn't work for a multiplayer game. A hu...

Re: Alien Isolation negative reviews

The IGN review noted that there were three difficulty settings available from the start, and that the game recommended playing on the hardest one. The reviewer highly recommended not doing this. It seems like they had a difficult balance to strike trying to make the alien unpredictable without being...

Re: [1.0] Final Descent achievement

Yeah, if I'm the only one it's happening to, I'm not going to worry about it too much.

Any Unity experts here?

I know Matt hates Unity, but a lot of indie developers near me use it, and it does seem like it should make game development much easier, even if you lose some efficiency and flexibility. So, I've been trying to learn it. Specifically, I'm making an isometric game--3D environment, orthagonal project...

Re: [1.0] Final Descent achievement

I played through Final Descent again in the 1.1 build, going straight to it from the Nightmare Select menu. I completed it and even let all the credits play this time. There was still no pop-up, and my Steam profile doesn't show it either. I've got all of the other achievements. I unlocked Destroyed...

Re: Alien Isolation negative reviews

At present, the reviews are quite mixed, with IGN's being the very low end of the scale. The Escapist gave it a 90/100, with Jim Sterling calling it, "one of my favorite horror games ever", and "terrifying in a near-perfect way". http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/vide...

Re: 194 - Neverending Reactions

It's interesting hearing some sales numbers, wishlist numbers, etc. It's a lot harder to come by data about digital sales than physical sales. Are the sales through other services (GOG, Humble Store, Ouya, anything else I don't know about) significant? How much of the sales money actually makes it b...

No, it's still not showing up.

I finished the stage, watched the ending, then hit A to skip the ending credits.

Re: Favorite Reviews/Let's Plays

Any thoughts about why sites have or haven't reviewed the game? There are only three reviews listed on Metacritic right now. Even sites that have covered the game, like IGN, don't necessarily have a review. Retro/Grade for PS3 has 31 reviews on Metacritic. The PC version actually has just 3 reviews ...
