Holy shit, £13.49 is fucking great. I was hoping for £20.

Another week of waiting. I need to finish up The Witness before I move on to this.

Great price, surprised it's so low, almost want to give them more.
Unconfirmed.
Slight trophies spoilers.
There are only 5 trophies though. Each for all days. But.... the first two are for Day 1 and 2. The others.... further apart. I say no more.
So... nobody can say yet.

Happy with the price. Pre order confirmed
Any chance of a digital art book being released as DLC for the Steam version somewhere down the line?

Haha -- totally not intended as such. Just so many great indie titles with awesome unique formulas coming out right now. I've only solved ~100 panels in The Witness, and spent an inordinate amount of time on the Divison beta. This year is shaping up to be as great for games as was imagined.
Yup, '16 is insane. Hated last year.
Unlikely. The behind-the-scenes art for this game was communicative and functional. It's not book-worthy. However there will probably be more arty merch down the line!

Firewatch: Ambience
Such a pretty game.
Some more info posted today on their blog, not sure if everyone already knows all this anyway.

Seriously, looks fucking perfect. I can't wait. Day one for the PS4 version/animated theme.

Damn. That's 7 days.
Bloodborne's digital OST was basically a PS4 app. Not sure if that was because it was a Sony game, or if it's open to other devs. Was pretty weird, though.

Everyone talking about how beautiful Firewatch is should try some (real life) hiking on the some of the great American trails. This game reminds me exactly of those beautiful outdoor vistas. Part of why I am super psyched for it
Because the team was so small most of the art direction in Firewatch took place in-engine! It's one of the reasons Unity is so great. I'm a 3D baby and I could go in and tweak the colour and lighting of the actual game until they were more or less exactly how I wanted them.

Won't it receive physical release?
One can hope, but likely not any time soon.
Yup. Well... Will wait until 9 Feb to buy PS4 version. If I like it as much or more than what the trailers/gameplays showed, tripple dipped it will be when/if physical release comes.
It is £13.49 on Steam so I would think it will be the same on the PSN store.

I'll likely be doing the same if it's a great as it looks like it'll be.
Hey Jake, Matt from the Twin Peaks Podcast here. Feedbacked your Twin Peaks Rewatch podcast a few times. I have to ask, are there any Twin Peaks easter eggs in the game? (Spoiler tag your answer if necessary)

Hopefully the PS4 users get the soundtrack edition as well.
EDIT:
Love the mood of the game.
That's pretty good! Gotta love those old national park/forest style typefaces!
For the record, our we use the Verlag font family from Hoefler & Co, though for the logo and posters Olly usually re-draws it himself for a handmade look.
No soundtrack on PS4 (it's very weird to do soundtracks on PS4, as that system hasn't got a music store!) but we will be doing a theme & game bundle. The theme's pretty rad.
Making its console debut on PS4. (Day and date with Windows, Mac, Linux.)

I'm really looking forward to this, but I don't like digital only games, so I'm going to hold off and cross my fingers that they do a physical release down the line. And, if they don't, maybe it will be on sale at that time.
Looks like exclusive

I'd like to support you guys by paying directly rather than Steam, but I don't see an option. Not possible? No Humble Store?
Alrighty. Thanks.

Bummer.
There was a separate soundtrack of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and Resogun in the PSN store though, the latter being free, but they're disappointingly rare.EDIT: And several retail special editions have included a PSN store download code for a soundtrack.
Will it be sold separately somewhere?

Nobody finishes The Witness...
So probably 30 CAD,nice,getting this for sure on PS4.
Exactly lol. I aint expecting to finish that up by the time this comes out. It will be a good contrast to The Witness since this is more "sit back and enjoy the narrative" rather than "get sent through mental boot camp where hell week will kill your brain cells and rebuild them up as quantum processors".
I believe our intent is to sell it on bandcamp or a similar service at some point close to release.

Good to hear that!
whoa, you guys used Unity? Super impressed by how far it's come and what devs are able to do with it lately. I really gotta give it a go sometime.
