Is it true that you can buy Colony Ship for 3 USD (250 peso) on Argentinian Steam?

 

[Vault Dweller]

Yes. Steam suggests regional prices; we can agree or disagree (and submit our own). I assume that Steam has more experience in this area, based on whatever data they collect. We sold 163 copies in Argentina so far, so it's not like they all rushed to buy it while supplies last.

Interesting. What European countries are the biggest RPG connoisseurs? And how many copies was sold in Sweden?

 

[Vault Dweller]

250. The top 10 countries are:

USA
Russia
UK
Germany
Canada
Australia
Sweden
France
Poland
Argentina

You only need 163 copies to get into top 10? See an opportunity for people to make their obscure countries more known by buying 164 copies. How many copies you managed to sold overall?

 

[Goral]

Russia being so high isn't surprising, especially considering that the game costs there 3 times less than in Poland (30 PLN vs. 90 PLN): https://steamdb.info/app/648410/

I've bought 4 copies of CS but 3 of them are on GOG (I can easily get the keys that way, buying another copy on Steam is much more complicated and bothersome). I do wonder whether CS isn't more popular on GOG than on Steam (in Poland).

I'm slowly working on a postmortem article in my spare time, I'll present the numbers there.

You have spare time ?

Aren't you meant to be working 24/7 ?

 

[Pink Eye]

Well, he's gotta a break from processing all of your feedback

That's why it's taking forever.

I hope you made a lot of monies from it. I love this game so much. I've dumped over a hundred hours already. And have done about sixteen runs so far.

Yeah I'll be getting a copy on Gog too.
Too many hours played to not support more.

 

[Pink Eye]

Yeah. I got it on GoG too. Looks pretty cool with my Ravenloft games next to it.

I don't know about you guys. But I'm excited for that factory update!

250. The top 10 countries are:

USA
Russia
UK
Germany
Canada
Australia
Sweden
France
Poland
Argentina

Now we need to break it down by percentage of the population.
It'd probably look like :

1. Australia
2. Sweden
   
3. Canada
4. Germany
5. France
6. Poland
7. USA
8. Russia

 

[Andhaira]

Is there any PSI in this game?

 

[Trash Player]

Not for players and not for humans in general. Some critters possess such abilities.

 

[Technomancer]

not for humans in general

Thought the muties had some psionics?

The developers are working on another set of improvements for the game. Here's the list:

Keeping players informed of what's coming and in the works is very important, so here's a list of upcoming/planned improvements and fixes (in addition to the next location coming in June):
Fixes:

- Fixed party being split when using ladders or elevator in the Armory
- Fixed VCO, Doors, and Containers overlapping enemies in combat and not allowing to target them
- Fixed AI skipping turns when facing doors with no free tiles behind them
- Grenade throw improvements
- Minor fixes (rare attack and inventory issues that most players never experienced)

Dialogues and text adventure elements:

- Added a PER check to warn you there's a frog in that Hydroponics unit before interacting; several beloved non-combat members of our community were killed by said frog
- Added a Streetwise check to warn you not to open the container with a turret
- Added a 'diplomatic' way to save Hank, as requested; the second phase is still combat only
- When requesting a party member's help in dialogue, a 'designated specialist' (if assigned) will be selected
- More party banter

Animations:

- Reload animations (almost done)

Btw, did anyone notice animated plants we added in the last update? Any feedback on that?

I think this looks great!

Well probably infinitron or Colony Ship devs will post in better format but for those who don't wanna wait.
Analysis on their EA release and why they are avoiding publisher like plague (And for good reasons)

Also those publishers behave like the fucking Mafia

Did my duty now that the 10% discount period ended.

I put 13.5 hrs in over the Memorial Day w/e picking through Chp 1. Thank you for this.
FINISH THIS GAME DAMMIT. THERE IS NOTHING ELSE GOOD TO PLAY.


Suggestion: I only got one attempt at a strength check to move the crate in the armory. I could have passed it once I recruited more party members (but used the terminal instead).

The big crate can't be moved using strength only.

Only the smaller one in level 2 can be moved with full party.
