I won't be getting this game. Really disappointed with the beta. It runs like absolute crap on my gaming laptop (even with all graphics set to low, and lowest res possible):
big surprise. Trying to cash in on the Mac market (however small) by using what's equivalent to running Wine on Linux and then expecting Mac gamers to be happy with the experience. You have to build a cross-platform game engine to provide the same quality of both platforms.
who the hell wants this cancer of a company on your console anyway? They're a bunch of scrubs and a total flash in the pan. Their value is totally inflated and they won't be around for very long (I don't have a hat so I won't eat it if I'm wrong)
So this is the really scary part for me. There are soo many great Flash games out there that are ripe for the picking to be turned to big commercial successes on the Apple and Android and whatever mobile stores (canabalt, etc etc etc).
So what seems to be happening is that these scumbags are going out and finding popular Flash games and porting them before the real developer can.
This is like the 3rd or 4th story I've heard on this topic in the last 3 weeks. It's becoming and going to continue to be a huge problem for indie devs.
@iceveiled 10 hours/day x 7 days per week. I'd say that's crunch time. If they're salary they're working 3 1/2 (8 hour work days) per week for free. No company would make hourly workers do that/
@djpotatohead you can if you cared to get off your lazy ass and learn something. Seriously, answering phone calls all day is a total cop out. Just because you didn't feel like paying attention in class and working hard to get a real career doesn't mean hard working ppl have to put up with the same crap you do.
I know people that have gone from nothing, absolute bottom of the barrel, real turds of life (like yourself) to actually learning something and starting a second career. There is hope for you.
