Wadjet Eye Primordia - A Point and Click Adventure - Now Available

[talan]

I bought the pre-order box a while back, but didn't open it due to adventure game exhaustion (too close to Resonance). It's still at my parents somewhere, luckily Wadget kindly gave me a digital key.

In all, it's a very good game. Got stuck a few times, but I think I did OK after reading DU's choices.

I was looking for the Fallen story but the site seems to be down:

That is the old address talan. Try the new one:

[talan]

Thank you -- Google "primordia" comes up with the old homepage first...

 

[MRY]

talan Yes. Vic didn't renew the site and a cybersquatter took it. Alas. Also, the DVDs WEG burned don't actually work, so having the box wouldn't have done you much good.

DarkUnderlord I somehow missed your post (though in some way it was overtaken by the review). I wish we'd had time to put in more alternative paths. I agree that the hat/coin distinction should have mattered a bit more. Have you checked out "Fallen"? It continues the setting a little bit.

DarkUnderlord In case you haven't tried yet,

do a playthrough without asking Primer to decode the council code, it really pays off.

I just finished replaying this *fantastic* game, using the latest patch version and I appear to have run into a bug.

After Crispin attacks Metromind and you have that cutscene of Horus attacking Goliath/Metropol, there was no music at all playing and I seem to remember there being this epic piece playing when I first played the game.

Other than that, smooth sailing!

 

[MRY]

Crap. I'll pass along the note to the coder. There definitely should be music there. :/

Somehow, we can never get things quite right!

I also played a bit lately:

*internally debates whether or not to share Primordia's steamspy page which contains much more information and thus might feed Mark's neurosis*

[stoic] It's your responsibility now

 

[MRY]

Oh, I've long since become aware of it. I think it's a pretty weak source of information for me, since I have actual sales figures. Since SteamSpy suggests that Primordia has been unselling games, I'm not sure what to make of it. I did like seeing the international info. SteamCharts, by contrast, can tell me on a day-to-day basis how many people are playing, which I can measure against every prior day, and against other WEG games, etc.

Doesn't steam charts only tell you maximum simultaneous players? Steamspy tells you total players in the past 2 weeks.

 

[MRY]

SteamCharts tells you average simultaneous players, and you can check it hourly . . . . But two-weekly would be nice too.

Dat median playtime.

 

[MRY]

It's kind of odd; it seems like the median should be either around 6 hours (which is what a relatively quick playthrough of the game should be) or around half an hour (how long it should take to figure out you don't like the game and quit). Would be nice to get a full scatterplot.

If about half the owners are 0 or essentially 0 time played, and about half are 6+ hours, it would just take a few odd ducklings in the middle to hit that median.

 

[MRY]

That's true, but it seems statistically unlikely. If you have two mode-like extremes, you would expect the median to wind up in one of them, right? (Says the person who has not touched statistics since college.)

Statistically unlikely just means it has to happen to someone

This is not really Primordia related, except in a obnoxious l'etat c'est moi sense, but I'm pleased to say that I'll be working as a writer on T:TON. Since PS:T inspired Primordia, it feels like things have come full circle. Couldn't have gotten there without the Codex (or the Codex's support of Primodia), for a variety of reasons. So, thanks guys!

Wow man, really noice!

Awesome! You definitely deserve it.

 

[MRY]

Thanks guys!

of inXile.

I honestly think this will make the new Torment a better game. Congratulations!

EDIT: This should also generate a bit more buzz for Primordia, so win-win.

 

[ghostdog]

MRY - Codex TToN stretch goal :D

Congrats !




Fargo is sure good at spotting new talent. Now, after STASIS is released and inevitably is a success, we need to get Pyke it touch with Inexile and we'll finally get that isometric RPG we've been dreaming of.

 

[DwarvenFood]

Congrats indeed, of MRY
