[StaticSpine]

Pyke congrats on the release, bruh!

Got my key and bought all the additional stuff on Steam!

 

[Ludwig von Eisenthal]

I just purchased it and played for half an hour. Sucked me in right away. Fantastic aesthetics, beautiful strange world, I really like it so far.

 

[Pyke]

Thanks so much bro's!

 

[Geisler]

Was a YUGE fan of STASIS, another here.

Just picked up the Deluxe Edition. Looking forward to playing this, though I will wait for a patch or two just in case.

Much appreciated! Its a pretty solid and stable game. We actually had zero crash reports through the whole QA process. But, I am rather biased... :D

 

[Kev Inkline]

Grats on the release!

Just DLed my GoG copy! I am enthusiastically looking forward playing d1p game, for what, I don't know, for the first time in 6 years or something.

No more jaded!

Also my first ever post with 3 unironical exclamation marks.

This fucking game had better be worth it.

BTW, couldn't get past the initial dialogue in full screen mode without the game crashing to desk (@1440p, Win 7, aeons old Q6600 (core 2), GTX660(*)). Windowed mode seems to work alright.

*)Building a new computer next weekend, but as for this system, I don't know if it's the obsolete rig or what's causing the fullscreen trouble.

 

[Pyke]

Hit TAB and send a bug report and we will check it out! Sorry bout that man - now I feel all overly cocky about what I said. :D

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

is this intentional?

 

[Pyke]

hahahah - naw, just slipped past us. Itll be sorted soon!

 

[Geisler]

Pyke Apart from the initial impressions already given, i want to say that judging from the first hour of gameplay, this might be the most visually stunning isometric game i have ever seen. On the technical side, thank you for supporting high resolutions including 21:9 AR as well (a far cry from STASISs initial 720p limitation indeed).

In a perfect world, these guys would be reponsible for visual design of new planescape torment.

The maps are absolutely stunning, but if I have one complaint, it's that they're a bit too empty for their size. Although I've only finished the "tutorial" stage, maybe they get more dense later. I mean, in principle, it's fine for an Adventure game to have 1-2 "active" spots per map, it's just that the maps are normally much smaller.
But I'm enjoying the game a great deal nevertheless. It's just the kind of fix I need at the moment - exploring a reasonably open and very intriguing world at a relaxed pace. Pyke!

 

[Paul_cz]

Heretical question, does it support xbone controller? (I assume not)
I am lazy fuck who prefers playing on TV these days

 

[ghostdog]

Have the GOG keys been sent? I had asked for GOG, but they key I received doesn't seem to work on GOG. Pyke

The name of the game does have the word DESOLATION in it, after all.

What may not be obvious for first time players is that some maps have new hotspots / interactables open up as progress occurs in the story, bringing you back to those seemingly desolate maps.

Congratulations Pyke ! I’m looking forward to playing it for real. Taking bets on the plot twist :D
