Quite. I think it was the 11th best reviewed game of 2015 on PC, which is an amazing achievement and one we're all hugely proud of. We still get new folk contacting us daily about how much they're enjoying New 'n' Tasty.

It's like having a preview of what heaven is like.

You don't take into account that if the new games are crap people will eventually stop buying them. Here we're buying games from a company that has a record of making great games and there's no reason to believe they are going to start releasing crap.

While I doubt the EA-level of crappiness will ever happen to OWI, that doesn't mean you shouldn't always be cautious about possible quality drop. After all, Munch's Oddysee.

Weren't you the one against buying FEZ just because the creator's a dick?
That's a serious question, I remember there was a topic about that some time ago

No, I own a copy of Fez and I don’t think Phil Fish is a dick. I do agree that you shouldn’t buy something if you don’t like/agree with its creator, but that doesn’t apply here anyway.

Still, believe it or not, at the time Munch was a pretty OK game:

Call me naive, but I believe some people or companies can actually be trusted.

I never said it wasn't, but I said it's a quality drop from AO/AE.

Beliefs aren't rational.

Xavier 12-07-2016 05:37 AM

I guess what you are trying to say is that you have serious trust issues.

Manco 12-07-2016 06:25 AM

did capitalism hurt you, varrok

Varrok 12-07-2016 06:55 AM

Of course not. Trust is not my issue, for what I trust is evidence. The facts.

Steef-Herder 12-07-2016 07:07 AM

So how bout dem viddyer games, huh

Xavier 12-07-2016 07:12 AM

I'll buy them all... :)

Vlam 12-07-2016 10:08 AM

Varrok fails to understand the pleasure of having something that gathers dust on a shelf.

Varrok 12-07-2016 10:14 AM

Oh, I do. I buy music albums to have a physical copy. The difference is, that I listen to them.

By the way, given the fact that the fanbase has money to burn: why isn't OWI relying on crowdfunding?

Because crowdfunding is good for a few hundred grand, maybe a million or two for a popular dev. Not the multi-million dollar budgets that OWI would need to do a game right.

Varrok 12-07-2016 10:41 AM

This.

Yes but it could be a DLC or something. I wasn't thinking of an ambitious project.

Ah, bummer. Can't wait to play poker cards!:p

Some more info on SW's release from a Limited Run post on NeoGaf;

Originally Posted by LimitedRunGames

- 70% will be sold in a bundle with all three sealed cover variants. Again, most of the people who want the variant want all three covers, so this is the cleanest and easiest way to give them that wish.
- 25% will be added to the pool of standard copies and inserted into orders of those - meaning any orders of a standard copy could end up being the blue variant. If you get the blue cover and don't want it, we'll gladly accept the return and swap it for the regular cover.
- 5% will be sold in charity auctions on eBay.

The charity auction ones will likely sell for "market value" whatever that is, but your money will be going to charity, not a reseller.

If you miss out, see below.

Hopefully this means that nearly everyone should have no reason to be upset at this point.

Steef-Herder 12-07-2016 11:41 AM

I think that post probably confuses things a bit more, so it should prolly be stated that there are really only two variants - the Blue PSX cover, and the regular edition which features a reversible cover inc. both designs previewed in my first post. The reason they're selling a three-pack is probably for the collectors that don't want to remove the plastic to reverse the cover.

Also; the poker card set and foldout map are not contained in the game case but are shipped with the orders, so everyone should get them regardless of the edition they buy.

Xavier 12-07-2016 12:32 PM

Thanks for sharing :D

I'm going for the bundle with all three sealed cover variants. I hope this means it will include 2 sets of cards and 2 maps, kind of was hoping to keep one of each sealed.

OWI_Alex 12-07-2016 02:05 PM

Also note that the release is pushed back a week to the 16th.

FennecFyre 12-07-2016 02:20 PM

Now look what you did, Varrok!

kidding

Nepsotic 12-07-2016 05:54 PM

I feel like I've highlighted Alex's avatar and can't un-highlight it.

Also it makes me wet

Cannot unsee.

Sybil Ant 12-08-2016 11:16 PM

I just want the poker cards. :(


If I send the results of using said cards in a strip poker game, to OWI, can I have a pack?

Varrok 12-08-2016 11:23 PM

Are you trying to scare OWI with your fat nudes? :(

Also, are you objectifying women?

Sybil Ant 12-10-2016 12:15 PM

Damn, couple of guys are obviously in the closet about liking fat girls in this place.

I can objectify myself as much as I want. Dat sweet sweet bodily autonomy.

Also to be on topic, do you have any plans to release limited edition physical copies of NnT on PC/consoles, Alex? Or is that a seeeeecret?

Nepsotic 12-10-2016 12:21 PM

Sybil Ant confirmed fat

Vlam 12-10-2016 12:26 PM

Sybil Ant should keep an eye on STM.

Nepsotic 12-10-2016 12:31 PM

If she can see over her cheeks, sure.

FrustratedAssassin 12-10-2016 01:08 PM

Is it even possible for someone not to see over their own cheeks?

Nepsotic 12-10-2016 01:09 PM

You should know. How do you type? How many keys do you hit at once?

FrustratedAssassin 12-10-2016 02:24 PM

All of them.

Sorry to disappoint guys, but I'm really not. (◡‿◡✿)

Varrok 12-11-2016 01:53 PM

The folds warm your body, yes.

Edit: I misread that as hot. Guess I'm the dummie. Let this comment stay as the testament of how bad I am at reading.

Nate 12-11-2016 08:53 PM

Turn it down a notch, Nepsotic.

Vlam 12-13-2016 08:11 AM

Varrok 12-15-2016 11:00 AM

Just respond with "Ok!".

And when tell you to hold up, act angry, but only when they tell it to you twice.
