Yep just got all the trophies.

And don't forget Velocity Ultra is out in less than 1 month! Can't wait. Found my stickers for the original Mini that FuturLab sent me.


Anyway yeah... I'll probably start bugging you all to buy it over the next few weeks ;)

I remember for the longest time, I thought you were employed by the velocity creators since you were promoting Velocity so hard.

top of the page recommendations:

Dragon Fantasy Book I
Thomas Was Alone
Virtua Tennis 4 World Tour
Guacamelee
Soul Sacrifice
And kick start Anne so we can get it on the Vita!

Nice. Did you enjoy it? Looking forward to playing it later.

Haha, yeah i've had people asking me that before. People have asked if i work for DrinkBox studios too. It's quite funny, but i take it as a compliment :p I just like promoting games i enjoy!

Well, theoretically it could, since Wasteland 2 is using Unity and supposedly there is a Unity plugin for the Vita in the works (an official one anyway).

No supposedly about it. Unity officially announced that they're "making games built on Unity deployable to PS4, PS3, PS Vita, PSM, and SCE’s future cloud service" on the PlayStation Blog.

Looking forward to giving my Vita some playtime again with Thomas was alone and Velocity Ultra (15 may). Should be good!

An announcement is one thing, it actually happening is another. I don't trust Sony much when it comes to the Vita (having owned a PSP).

(EU)Playstation Store 'Lost Treasures' sale starts today

You know, our Plus might be superior in many peoples eyes, but our Vita sales are routinely pitiful. Even the Oddworld SW sale that linked to the Vita version in the Plus blogpost is PS3 only.

You should start a thread for this. Thinking about dropping $250 on this because that figure would look badass in my work cube next to Meat Boy. Also, getting really good vibes from the game, even if it doesn't meet the stretch goals.

hmm. would work on a thread.
any recommendations for a tagline?
(Bring it to the Vita?)

I don't know about the tagline, but try to include that it's a Metroidvania-style PC game with PSN/Vita/WiiU stretch goals. Not many people would care if you only mention the Vita.

:( I wonder if the 3DS guys would come in and diss it :/ (hope not... they don't usually strike me as such.. maybe some)

Really hate platform stretch goals. Kickstarter is essentially a store, and I certainly don't want to put money down if I'm not going to be able to play it.

This is my thing as well. I really don't care to play this on the PC and I am not dropping the kind of cash needed for those other cool rewards, so I am left just putting $10-$20 towards something I may never play.

Thomas is delightful. Played through the first 12 levels on my commute this morning. Going to keep it specifically for that.

I'd plunk 20$ down on this one ( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1054244612/c-wars-roguelike-pixel-art-pc-game ) if the PSV goal was concrete and I thought they would attain it without a problem. As it is now, I have a reminder for both and I'll just have to hope enough people who want the 3DS version will put their money down. :-\

I knew there was something about C-Wars that seemed familiar. What's up with that Vita stretch goal though? :/
Click to expand...

You dont want it released for the vita?

I wish the vita stretch goal was much lower though, considering the type of game it is, it would have been better if they put it after the 3DS stretch goal. The WiiU stretch goal should be last imo.

I do, but what does that "???" Vita stretch goal even mean? They should at least give us a concrete number.

Edit:
PS Vita

This announcement got a lot of attention from you guys. In terms of techs, it's C++, which is nothing new for us. In terms of license, we have absolutely NO IDEA whether we can get the dev-kits from Sony or not. We’ve begun contacting them to see the possibilities, but unfortunately we have a rather small chance with the popularity of C-Wars now, although 20+ news/games websites have already covered the C-Wars KS campaign. But if you can spread the word, up the pledge, our chance will be higher. Let's cross our fingers for this one.

Edit: Too slow...

If they receive some sort of concrete possibility I would back this very fast. Hopefully they have a response (and concrete number) in the next 2 weeks or so.

They originally actually listed a figure for a Vita port ($200k?) but when this caught some attention, they changed it to '???' and came up with all that. They're really trying to back out of it now.

My 107 hour file from last year showed up on Vita PSO2. That was a really nice thing to see. It plays really well on this machine.

However it ties whatever account to your ID instantly upon log in, be careful with that. I don't see a way yo untie it.

I can tether from my phone and it works fine solo (3G), but it sucks there's not even a cut down single player mode at all.

There's maintenance at the moment so I can't play, which really sucks on a handheld.

Speaking of this, did North America ever get a Vita compatible Phantasy Star Portable 2? That's one PSP game I would be playing pretty frequently on my Vita if I could. I've never understood what the problem with that one was.

Well, you COULD always just pledge that 20$ for games with Vita-port stretch goals and if it looks like it won't reach it by the final day or something, just pull the pledge. That way you'd actually help it get closer to the stretch goal but you still have the option to withdraw your pledge if it seems what you want is not going to get made.

so, i started playing dragon fantasy last night before falling asleep. probably only played for maybe 20 minutes.

it is so cool to flip between 8-bit and 16-bit mode. the game looks gorgeous to me on the vita's screen. i really hope that the rise of indie developers allows us to get more 8/16-bit rpgs like this. how big of a team did something at the scale of pokemon red require?

Llamasoft talks about TxK :D

I sincerely hope this game draws some old gamers to the Vita
