have you tried it on the platform, and if so, what are your thoughts?

The game is worse on touchscreens. Loses the wiring puzzle, energy sensor puzzle in junkpile is worse, and overall the inability to user cursor to look for hotspots is irritating. But it’s still kind of neat.

Is it part of certification that you have to support touch-only input? Using one of the joystick's to drive the cursor shouldn't be a problem, right?

 

[MRY]

I have no idea. I assume the controls are like those on the Switch, which were similar to iPad—sticks just jump from hotspot or hotspot or something.

 

[agris]

Sounds horrible.

Good luck!

Right trackpad is used for cursor. Pushing left trackpad is use/interact and pushing the right one is "look at". The back buttons of the deck are used for option shortcuts like quick save, load etc. I had no problems playing for like half an hour yesterday and I'm not used to trackpads at all. No use of the touchscreen at all and no hotspot jumping.

 

[MRY]

Oh that’s great to hear!

 

[agris]

Maybe this version doesn’t need to cut those puzzles then?

I gave this game a try with zero expectations only because I kept seeing Crispin avatars pop up on the Codex, and I loved everything about it. Puzzles are simple and yet variegated and interesting enough not to get boring, characters are fun without going into cringe territory, and the atmosphere is top-notch. Discovering Metropol's past captured me so much that I'm probably going to add something very similar as a secondary quest in one of my future D&D campaigns.

My only real complaint would be that Leopold doesn't accept the disc/memory device barter at first for no discernible reason. I offered the exchange a couple of times and he always refused, only to accept it later (if there's a reason for this, I missed it).

Anyway, great game. Will try Strangeland as soon as possible.

Thanks!

I can’t even remember what item you’re referring to! I’ll go back and check my design notes and see if there’s an explanation…

Hey, what about this Primordia TV series thing? Any news?

 

[MRY]

Nope

What about a Primordia energy drink?
Slogan could be "Simply... PRIMORDIAL"

you're welcome?

Good news for those who have been hoping for it: Remastered version coming soon! More details to come.

Nice! Thank you for doing this! Totally understand if it's a little more expensive due to the undertaking.

That's an informative post. Has someone deleted posts? I noticed some threads that look like as if something is missing.

MRY said there won’t just be another Primordia — there will be several more Primordias, and the first Primordia will get an HD remaster.

Primordia 2 and Primordia 3 will be developed back-to-back. We’re talking about that, that makes a lot of sense, given the nature of these productions.

And he’s also focused on the prequel novel.

I didn’t want to do some cheesy novelization, where some hack comes in and makes shit up.

Any news on the Primordia themed chewable morphine pills?

Primordia plushies when?

 

[MRY]

Fans made Crispin and Horatio plushies for my kids.

I think Vic is making all kinds of merchandise, so you should be able to commercialize as you see fit.

The fake quotes made me chuckle.
