Of course there's really no way to check out Fallen Gods, as there's nothing much public yet. But soon, I hope. I always want just one more asset until I share it. :)

It's gotten tied up a bit on the WEG end. They're trying to time it with Mac and Linux ports, and I think none of it is a huge priority on their end. I was actually about to bug 'em about it.

Despite the slow gears of progress, etc., I think it's worth waiting for the patch. If you want, I could also just try to find a way to send you the patched version of the game. I'm not sure there is a noticeable difference if you've played the game and then replay it with the patch, but it's kind of like the removal of annoying static or something from a recording.

This may be a silly question, but isn't there a chance that its price will drop more during the sale? (WEG never tells me anything, so I have no insider info here, but generally isn't it best to wait until the last day of a sale to see if something goes on a steeper "flash" discount?)

How does it work exactly, MRY? Does Wormwood Studios get a cut from the sales, or does WEG take it all as the publisher?

GOG.com takes its cut, then WEG takes its cut, then we divvy up the rest between us. Most of the money goes to us at this point. Whatever griping I may engage in, WEG probably takes less than the average publisher.

In that case, do not wait for a bigger discount, bros. The game is easily worth getting at full price (not exactly expensive even then). At a discount, it is a steal.

The difference in a customer paying $2.50 vs. 5.00 is about 45 cents per team member. It really doesn't matter unless we're talking about hundreds of transactions. :)

Thanks bros. I'll wait and see if they fix the issue soon, and if not, I'll just buy it at full price if the sale has ended by then. I promised myself I should get this a LONG time ago.

Patch is uploaded to Steam. GOG and direct download coming. Steam cards live too. Thanks to MicoSelva for his help with testing the patch.

And now 60% off on Steam. I wish WEG would discount it more steeply, but maybe Christmas. I'll try insisting.

Yes, although it has some spoilers. It's on the game's frontpage on Steam. The basics are: (1) hint system functions much better; (2) all cutscenes, but especially the cutscenes in the last half of the game, are much improved in terms of timing and sound effects; (3) walking animation is much less choppy; (4) tons of little interactions have been improved in terms of animation and appropriate responses; and (5) there are some additional options in the options menu for gfx settings. There are tons of little fixes too, achievements now work properly, there's a bit of restored dialogue and a few new kiosk screens. Overall, I don't know if it will feel all that different when replaying it -- though there's one cutscene that I think is noticeably improved -- but everything just works better.

[EDIT:

We also restored one close-up shot that had inadvertently not been included.
