Is it not trippy enough?, I can't imagine what that would do to my brain.
Not doing a good job selling the game, cause I need my peepers.

I just didn't understand the game and never got passed the first few levels.

Fun and challenging game. I'll definitely double dip.

I know this is about the Steam announcement but while you are asking, you said you were thinking about a Vita port if the game translates well to the smaller screen.
Any update on that? Would be thrilled to play this game on Vita.

Any idea on minimum & recommended specs?
GAF demands. Being realistic about where most people will get it
best way to buy it is probably through the game's site since hopefully that means 100% profit to the developers
Why not just make an objective thread that says it is coming out on PC and list the platforms it will be released on.

Great game. Short, but great. You will play through certain levels more than once.
And it's by far the trippiest game I've ever played. There were times where I was in a zone, playing well, with a large part of my brain consciously thinking "WTF IS GOING ON?!?" I've never experienced that with a video game before.

eh, my bad. Twitter link is there.
I had the same experience.
When I finally completed the game though, certain... changes took hold.
I was able to detect CMEs directed towards earth, I could dive into a person's mind and relive their memories ...and for some strange reason I knew Kung Fu.
Wait, why would they be altered? The Steam achievements are the same trophy set as the PS3 version

The achievements are exactly the same as the trophies. I find them a little bit easier on the PC, might be because of my low refresh monitors and playing on a keyboard feels a bit more "precise" to me.
As for min specs. Any intel i* CPU (or AMD equiv), with a videocard that fully supports dx9 (the game is opengl so you need up-to-date drivers, since drivers often lag in opengl support) with at least 256MB RAM on the videocard and about 1GB CPU RAM (you can probably get away with less RAM, but I haven't tried).

No love for older creaking rigs with Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad chips makes me a sadd panda.

I don't know what's going on with the steam page... I would have hoped it was up 2 weeks ago =(
It very well could work on a core duo, I just haven't tested it so I don't want to say "yep it works!~"

I'll settle for good 3D Vision support.
Hey man, I own and love your game on PS3!
I can think of a Q for putting you on the spot - Ever thought about putting out a touch / tablet version of it? Even if it is a different game
My only other question is whether you would be able to make a mode that is somehow safe for epilepsy sufferers to play, Dyad itself seems like it is about the worst game possible to play ... I am not one but I know of at least one online and she seems to like games like this a lot https://twitter.com/IndieGamerChick/statuses/226049307982311424

I'm not a doctor, so I can't be certain, but I did do some research on photosensitive epilepsy. I don't think Dyad's actually particularly bad for it. It doesn't "flash" colours -- ie rapid switches between highly varied brightnesses. It does "cycle" colours quickly which gives the impression of flashing, but afaik that doesn't trigger epilepsy like flashing colours would.
I don't have the means or the budget to properly test the game with epileptics, so I'm playing it safe by recommending people don't even attempt it.
I can't really make a version that's "safe" for people with epilepsy since I don't exactly what in Dyad would be problematic, nor would I be able to test.

That would be something.

I asked the Oculus people to get my devkit a little early so I could have it ready for the Rift launch but they didn't seem to give a shit about the game, so either it'll have to wait or I won't have time to do it later, we'll see!
ShawnMcGrath
Dyad Developer
Nope =(
Don't worry! We gotta spread the word- so excited about this on PC.
Played a bit at friend's place on the PS3, and so happy to get to play it on my machine!
Bravo.
