Everything looks so fucking good. I love the new short text blurb. I love everything. And not just because I'm moderately drunk.

The impulse to buy 5 copies and give them away ... that probably is mostly the booze talking.

But still. Beautiful work.

You can't buy it. By the time you can, you will probably be sober enough to restrain yourself. :)

And, many thanks!

May be a firefox issue? It looks like that fullscreen 2560x1600, but chrome is fine (PC). Also looks correct on phone (safari).

MRY do you know that your short blurb is truncated?
It depends on screen resolution -- on my computer and phone, it's not clipped.
Are others having the same issue as agris?
Yes, Google Chrome, on both my 2560x1440 and 1920x1080 monitors. Cuts off in the exact same place in all cases. I scrolled down to read the full text but of course the long description is different. I guess I will never know what else these people created!

How bizarre. It doesn't happen on Chrome, Brave, Firefox, or Safari for me, on either my work or home computers or my phone.

I have no idea how to go about fixing.

MRY well you have identified your two edge-cases; myself and zombra. I checked different zoom levels in FF, and while it did change how many words were displayed, it never fixed it. I'm using 100% DPI scaling (i.e. no scaling) on Win7, maybe Zombra is on Win7 as well? It also doesn't change as I resize the Firefox window.

edit: I take that back, zooming into 120% fixes it. Looks to be a kerning issue. FWIW, if you can eliminate the character equivalent of "peak", I believe I could see your self-referential in non-zoomed mode.

The whole thing is absurd, insofar as "Primordia" plainly would fit in the screenshot you have. :)

I'll see what I can do.

I wonder whether cutting a character or two would fix.
Awaken (awoken?) in a surreal carnival, a woman cries out to you before leaping to her death. That's 8 characters + a space, enough to fit Primordia.

Ha, same here, when I zoom to 110% on either monitor the name of the mystery game is revealed.

Seems almost certain it would. My first thought was to change
Who was she? And who are you?
to
Who was she? (Who are YOU?)
but that does change the tone appreciably ... and only saves one character sooooo

Also you could obviously change "denizens and devices" to just "denizens", but I hope you don't do that because characterizing the cast as "denizens and devices" is too wonderfully bizarre.

Maybe simplest would be to change "A new adventure from the creators of Primordia" to simply "From the creators of Primordia." We already know it's new, and no one looking at the Steam page will be unaware it's an adventure game.

Hrm. "From the creators of Primordia," although more self-congratulatory, seems the least tone-changing edit.

One more suggestion, to increase $ Codex sales $ consider editing the Steam page link into the first post of this thread. :)
