Sorry but I won't be watching any of them I don't want spoilers.

I recognise a lot of names in the chat right now :)

Varrok 07-21-2014 12:39 PM

It's over now.

Holy Sock 07-21-2014 12:39 PM

Ahhh!! well that was very pleasant.

Scrabaniac 07-21-2014 12:40 PM

That stream was fascinating :)

Manco 07-21-2014 12:40 PM

I tuned in right at the start of Scrabania and got an eyeful of all that sand and dust billowing around in the wind. This is a pretty game.

Xavier 07-21-2014 12:41 PM

Well that was fun :) will the recording be made available?

Edit: inflatable bladders level confirmed.

Holy Sock 07-21-2014 12:44 PM

Got most of my strategically asked questions answered, too. I'm a content lad. Also, it looks pretty fucking great.

Xavier 07-21-2014 12:50 PM

What were your questions? I find it quite hard to follow the chat, the developers' comments and the gameplay all at once.

Holy Sock 07-21-2014 12:54 PM

Hmmmmm. I asked about the fan vent in RuptureFarms. I've recently been listening to Valve commentaries and was curious why they removed the rolling obstacle from that bit. Nothing really illuminating but I was curious.

I honestly would have to watch it again, tbh. But I got about 3 or 4 answered.

Thanks to everyone who joined us on the livestream! Always a bit nerve-wracking but lots of fun, and great to be able to finally show the game!

Not sure I answered this too well on the livestream as my memory was a bit hazy. It basically came down to some early level changes that, in hindsight, interrupted the way we teach the player how to crouch.

We didn't want to break the pattern of using the LED screens to show tutorials and we couldn't easily fit one inside that tunnel without making drastic changes to the environment art, so we decided to remove the fan and just have Abe walk through it.

The crouch tutorial now comes slightly later, where there is room for an LED screen to explain it!

Hope that's a better explanation. :)

Noooo!!! D: is there any way to watch it again?

Varrok 07-21-2014 01:30 PM

Of course not, you silly. Livestream gameplays are never archived so people can see them again

MeechMunchie 07-21-2014 01:32 PM

I lived up to my former avatar and heckled incessantly.

I miss MA.

Holy Sock 07-21-2014 02:53 PM

That paramite joke was nasty.

MeechMunchie 07-21-2014 03:48 PM

Someone said they were just hairy things...

V_O_T 07-21-2014 05:43 PM

Damn I missed it ;( anyone have the recorded stream link?

Xavier 07-22-2014 03:14 AM

It should be over here (well at least I see it on my smartphone):

I'll try to upload it on TOGG shortly. ;)
