I'm not sure if that's even possible, considering that most of the game revolves around writing stuff.
I think you can use one to move around if you really want but the game is unplayable without entering text commands so you will need a keyboard input.

Thank goodness for Steam refunds: very excited to play this, but genuinely don't know if my laptop can run it. At the very least it doesn't look too intense from the screens.

It's running on a modified version of idTech 4 (the Doom 3 engine) so it should run on any modern machine without too much trouble.

Right, I hope so. This thing struggles running Portal overly well but it handled Jazzpunk A-OK at least, so that's something.

Looking forward to playing this later tonight. Ain't gonna read or watch ANYTHING about it.

Watched the trailer, looks like it has a good deal of puzzling and variety to it. Had such a lovely time with Thirty Flights of Loving. I suppose the puzzles could be very streamlined. I'm going to need to know duration before I buy. I am not in the position to pay $20 for something that's only a few hours long right now. I'm guessing any commentary will be locked behind that special edition.

I haven't started the first heist yet and this is awesome

But the art book is available separately on Steam
Edit: nvm
Seems like the Deluxe is only available through Blendo

I want to buy through Blendo to give him the most money (using Humble instead of steam) but I do want a steam key. Can anybody confirm if buying through his site gives a steam key?

Launch trailer is great

I'm not sure about keys but on the subject of money it's debatable what's most effective at launch since steam click throughs and purchases can contribute to placement etc, and good steam visibility is worth a lot more than a few % on some sales.
Wouldn't sweat how you buy it from a dev benefit point of view.
That's just me though.

Been playing for a bit, just completed the first heist. Genius. Havine some issues on what follows, though.
Having some trouble connecting to the 'weevil' robot. Not sure what command line I'm supposed to be entering - 'connect' gives a command line, and 'find' gives the name of the weevil; but I can't seem to make it work. Currently entering connect <nell> <1>, which should be the right string.. correct?

It took me about 30 minutes to go through the first contract mission. I had a brain fart when it shifted to relying on the player to come up with command lines, but the process of theorizing -> implementing -> repeat is immediately satisfying once it clicked. Then I replayed it and finished in just over 4 minutes. This is SO COOL already. It kind of reminds me of Hitman in a strange roundabout way too.

How do you put stuff into your inventory again?

Right click.
I'm having more command line troubles. Really wish they would give you a clear example string, just so you have a better handle on formatting (coincidentally, this is a problem I had when I attempted to learn actual coding).
While moving weevil, how am I support to format the distances? It says go move_distance, with +/- signifying forward/backward. But commands like go move_+4 aren't recognized.
Put the reticule on it and right click!
The game is very much a fun play-with-gadgets puzzle game, more than its explicitly about programming. Also it is packed full of character stuff like Gravity Bone and Thirty Flights interwoven with the heist puzzles. It's 100% a descendant of Blendo's first person narrative stuff, but has a bunch of puzzle/hacking/heist meat in there as well as the pure narrative/experiential stuff.
(Disclosure: I like this game a ton, it's right up my alley, but also I know Brendon Chung and was an editor on the trailer for Quadrilateral Cowboy.)
The weevil
moves like the Logo turtle, if you ever used Logo on an Apple II or computer of that era. "go 10" without the quotes makes it go 10 units. "turn -30" turns it 30 degrees counter clockwise. It doesnt have any other formatting or embellishments.

Oh shit, it's out! I can't believe how many of the perpetually in-development indie games have come out these past two years! I think the only one that's left for me is Miegakure.
Can't wait to check this out tonight. I only know some of the concept from its discussions on Idle Thumbs, aside from that I know nothing about the game.

It's installing right now, worth the trouble of having to find the only Q game in my steam library.

Just tap Q on the keyboard when looking at your library and it'll take you right to it.

Dang, that bit of know how is easily worth the twenty bucks.
Put a little over an hour and a half in it and so far I'm really enjoying it. It's not quite how I expected but it's a lot of fun.
Does anyone know if this is supposed to be part of the same "Citizen Abel" series as Gravity Bone/Thirty Flights of Loving? I was a little surprised to see the exact same visual style and blocky characters.

It's obviously very similar in themes and aesthetics to Gravity Bone/Thirty Flights, wouldn't be surprised to find some cameos and i was half expecting
the birds in the office to explode.

Jazzpunk and Blendo Games being cartoony and simple models should work on any computer, but Portal has more cpmplicated graphics so that's not surprising.
Did you try to zoom in on them with the camera? (I didn't but it just occurred to me that that's the thing most likely to make them explode, of all the tools you have in the room right then.)

I think i did.
great work on the OT more_badass and thanks for asking beforehand
can't believe this is finally out, god damn.

I think I'm experiencing a glitch? On the mission with the crane thing and my commands have stopped showing up on laptops display. They seem to register ok but its not very chill doing it all by feel with no feedback. Has anyone else experienced this?
Yea, that's similar to my problem (though maybe not exactly the same). My terminal was messed up until going into the mission select and restarting the section I was in.

noclip is a great way to see some trippy shit lmao
Loving this so far. Thirty Flights was a hell of an experience but it was ungodly short, so having way more of it plus dope, unique puzzles in the mix is brill. Can't wait to have my brain melted by the later game - I see you, blink command.
