Today is a quick post. This week was busy and fun and totally devoid of taking down Christmas decorations. At least the lights are unplugged!
Steam Dev Days
We were there and it was awesome. We were graciously gifted a Steam Machine and Steam Controller to play with, we got to meet all sorts of amazing people, and we learned earnestly and partied heartily in nearly equal parts. What were we doing at Steam Dev Days you might ask? We were getting pumped about Vampire Smile on Steam. It is going to happen, we just can’t tell you when yet. If it’s taking longer than you’d like, I’m sorry, but remember: delayed gratification is a good thing! (According to a science man, people who are able to handle it are generally more successful in their adult life)
Time Viking Stuff
Here’s a Time Viking review on Real Gamer Newz and here’s a written interview James provided the answers for on the same site.
————————————————————————————————————–
What us PC gamer want is more console ports with built in DRM?
Sound about right.
So I’ll be asking this as a non PC gamer, will there be a non DRM version of that game?(because either way I’ll get the version without DRM)
Also, how will the game play? Dodge is built with the 360 stick in mind, having to play in with M&K sound pretty terrible, I’m guessing a gamepad will be required?
Praise Fortune, my PS3 friends will finally know the majesty that is Ska Studios and VS. And of course, weep in misery as they attempt to beat my dish challenge score.
Thanks guys!
Ska Studios kick-ass games and Gaben’s glorious Steam together?! In the same place at once?! It’s a tag-team of the century!
Seriously though, this kind of news is EXACTLY what us PC gamers want to hear! Just quick little announcements of “it’s coming” are more than enough to ease the tension of waiting and wondering. I’m also glad to hear it’s VS that’s getting the first release, it’s my favorite out of all your games (though I’m having a black with Time Viking right now!). All I can say is thank you so, so much for keeping us in the loop.
Also, major congrats on getting a Steam Machine! Christmas may be over and that tree may be down, but Gaben Claus and his mighty beard never stop giving gifts!
will it will be available on linux?
You guys got a Steam Machine? Nice. I didn’t make the cut for the beta, but Vampire Smile for PC is going to rock.
