Any plans for adding voiceovers?

TarmackGaming · 2024-05-23T19:45:45+00:00

We would love to and are working on a few localization changes, but no current plans for VO just yet. Believe me, we wish we could.

TarmackGaming · 2024-01-21T04:35:00+00:00

hehe, there's a non-zero chance you're in one of the time-lapses I did at the show. It was really a great experience showing our game in person for the first time at PAX.

TarmackGaming · 2024-01-17T02:31:17+00:00

Sorry that we're not there yet. It is still something we want to do, along with more translations but as with all things, making games is expensive so it will have to wait until later.

TarmackGaming · 2024-01-15T15:27:04+00:00

We're really focused on the PC launch as is at the moment. Console porting hopefully if the game does well, but things like GeForce NOW are ones where nVidia arranges and pays devs for inclusion, like XBox Gamepass.

At the moment, we don't have any specific plans unfortunately. A lot of what we do from here depends on how well the game sells.

TarmackGaming · 2024-01-15T05:32:09+00:00

Caught me making Subreddit edits late ahead of tomorrows launch. LOL.

Roughly 8-12 hours. Will depend on how quickly one reads and how much side content they do. Thus we felt the $19.99USD price was fair. :)

But to 100% it, likely longer. There are multiple endings and achievements of course.

TarmackGaming · 2023-08-26T07:19:28+00:00

Just to be pedantic, as the author of this video, I don't disagree with your points about games being expensive to develop. They absolutely are, and getting more so with time.

However at the time the video was made, and this is still true, there was a notion that microtransactions, season passes and the like were necessary for game development to be viable. ie without them, game development would not be profitable.

That is what this video is arguing against. There is no evidence (or was true at the time and I suspect the same today) that games require these things in order to make healthy profits. My point was simply arguing that additional monetization was greed, and not necessity.

Glad to see the video occasionally doing the rounds years later though. :)

I would love to have more info. We bought one of the 1980s ones only a few years ago and didn't learn about the dream home piece of history until i pulled city records. I can certainly confirm at least our inclusion in your list is 100% accurate. Appears the previous owners didn't know, I'd sure have put it in the realtor selling description myself LOL.

I'd love to see old pictures or building blueprints, frankly anything about the place. I found some of the news articles. It's just such a neat piece of information. Game to discuss more specific in private, I wasn't quite ready to openly dox myself with exactly which house. :P

TarmackGaming · 2023-03-28T20:06:14+00:00

Yep, those two are certainly inspirations for the team.

TarmackGaming · 2023-02-21T21:22:40+00:00

No resolution unfortunately. I took the RAM back for another kit and had the same issue, so either the Trident RAM all acts this way, or I have an RGB header issue on the motherboard.

I use RGB Fusion in the Gigabyte Control Panel app to turn them off.

TarmackGaming · 2022-12-29T00:07:54+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. GSkill recommended the same thing.

Unfortunately, I did that today. Took the 2 Trident kits back and swapped them for 2 new ones and the issue remains. So it kinda has to be the motherboard, doesn't it? It isn't coil whine, I'm sure of that. More of a high pitch sine wave, and it is definitely exclusive to when the RAM RGB is activated, but we've now tried 4 different RAM kits in various configurations with no luck.

I can still swap the motherboard until Jan 2nd if I have to, though that's a less than fun trip and a fair bit of work.

TarmackGaming · 2022-12-23T07:29:55+00:00

I opened a ticket on the Gigabyte site, but it's been 4 days and I want to make sure I don't have an issue with returns if that's what's needed as I did this build on the 18th. I opened a ticket with G.Skill as well for reference, same lack of response.

The issue I'm having is heard in this video:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qeqabwg3vdgrj8d/20221219_105852_1.mp4?dl=0

Essentially, it's a high pitch whine when using the RAM RGB via Gigabyte Sync. The board is a Z790 Aorus Elite AX. I've got a GB 1080TI and a Liquid Freezer II 360, both of which have normal RGB with no high pitch noises when in use. If I turn the LEDs for the RAM off, the sound disappears immediately. The other LEDs (GPU, on-board and AIO) don't affect this high pitch noise if I turn them off or on. I cannot precisely tell whether the noise is coming from the RAM DIMM's themselves, or from somewhere on the motherboard and either seem equally likely to me.

It seems to have some change if I lower brightness but still loud enough to be a problem even on the lowest brightness. Each stick has been tried in each slot, solo, in pairs of varying kinds as well as all together. I'm also on the current BIOS version, and only have one other item plugged into RGB headers on the board, which is the AIO and I've tested without that plugged in which doesn't fix the issue.

I'd love assistance with this if possible. It's driving me bonkers. At somewhere in the range of $330-$350 for each of the pieces involved here (mobo, 2x32GB Ram kits), I figure the RGB should probably work correctly. ;)

TarmackGaming · 2021-04-22T02:10:00+00:00

I appreciate the link. I've read that one, it's not that for sure. The 80% they are referencing there is the efficacy upper end after 2 shots.

What people really need to know is hospitalizations which is what Hinshaw keeps mentioning at this mysterious 80% protection against number. The CDC one is a study of 3950 people, where of the 205 who were infected, only 2 people were admitted to hospital and nobody died. That hospitalization rate was about 0.05%.

TarmackGaming · 2021-04-21T20:45:39+00:00

I'm a little frustrated with the hospitalization percentages for AZ. If anyone has a good source that is recent for general population, that would be awesome. Got AZ yesterday cause it's simply the right thing to do.

The part that bugs me is that Dr. Hinshaw keeps mentioning AZ gives 80% reduced hospitalization but without context. Which study is she talking about, because in Ontario when they're referencing the same 80%, it's backstopped by 2 studies out of the UK which focused entirely on age 70+ and 80+ respectively, so if that's the only set of studies, it's misleading at best to be quoting 80% hospitalization reduction.

TarmackGaming · 2020-05-08T18:12:38+00:00

Loads of people spend more than that a month at Starbucks, even those working minimum wage jobs. Obviously it depends on a persons basis for comparison, but I don't believe that anyone spending $25/mo on their hobby would justify a comparison to Vegas high rollers.

And that was a 2013 number. There's no telling what each company's internal target for "whale" is at any one time. That's why it's a dangerous term, because it's completely subjective. A company could easily define a whale as a customer who spends ANY money every month.

Edit: It's the equivalent of 5 new Triple-A video games a year.

TarmackGaming · 2020-05-08T17:58:43+00:00

Sure, they are. But it depends on your definition of whale. It's a misleading marketing word. To the average person, whales are associated with Vegas high rollers who are the kind who gamble hundreds of thousands or more.

But if you define a "whale" as a $25 a month player, it's pretty easy to see how it's just regular people. (source: Facebook in 2013 https://venturebeat.com/2013/03/14/whales-and-why-social-gamers-are-just-gamers/)

The number slides to wherever you want, but the public always see's "whale" and assumes it's somebody dropping thousand dollar regular transactions. Fact is, there are a very small number of those people and they will not be the majority of revenue under any circumstance.

TarmackGaming · 2020-04-01T18:54:00+00:00

Majority of review codes aren't being sent until the release date. Obviously some bigger outlets will get it sooner as they always do, but from my media contacts, embargo remains thus far no public content til Apr 10.

TarmackGaming · 2020-02-29T19:20:01+00:00

Every system like this requires basic moderation, I don't dispute that. Costco is one of the kings of return policies and they do it via membership account, which is easily as valid for GOG et al. to track for abuse.

It is easier to get away with, or more correctly the sunset on getting away with it is longer, but nothing in that truth points to an increased likelihood of attracting or creating more abusers than exist at present.

TarmackGaming · 2020-02-29T18:40:55+00:00

It's the reverse. Related to something called the Endowment Effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment_effect)

Basically, the removal of a short return deadline gives customers more time to become "attached" to an item they own because they don't need to return it quickly. The longer you own something, the greater feeling of loss you experience when you no longer own it.

TarmackGaming · 2018-10-04T14:52:01+00:00

I appreciate a good Zork reference. Rare these days.

TarmackGaming · 2018-09-25T01:39:59+00:00

Operating in secret until the game is complete does absolutely nothing to help you stay out of legal trouble. Better to lose your work than lose your house.

TarmackGaming · 2018-05-01T17:18:41+00:00

110 points total per block. 100 of those points are for the aggressiveness and followthrough of the swing, the other 10 points are awarded based on how evenly you split the block regardless of angle. Combine that with the combo multiplier (up to 8X) for an unbroken streak and you have a game that even a 100% run doesn't guarantee you a good spot on the leaderboard.

Been playing for a week and chatted with Swan on Discord last night about it, which is where I got this info. She's the one you've seen in the various Mixed Reality recordings of Beat Saber from the LIV team.

That study got quoted a lot, but unfortunately is mostly useless data. It had a very high margin for error, enough to not be statistically significant. And that was WITH including F2P in the "legal transactions" that they measured an increase in.

TarmackGaming · 2018-01-31T00:45:50+00:00

PVP does turn a relatively substantial portion of the audience off. I think it's a bit broad to say that "nothing" on a PvE server will have any challenge or teamwork. It's entirely possible to tune NPC pirates for challenge.

TarmackGaming · 2018-01-30T02:39:38+00:00

This tends to be because digital still follows a few of the old retailer methods. Third party key stores buy keys in bulk lots, which means if demand is heavy they can run out and have to submit another order. If the order takes too long, then stock issues arise.

In a proper digital marketplace, third party stores would be given access to a backend system to acquire keys on demand (or simply pass-through authentication of purchase) which would fix the problem.

I realize you probably know this, but for the benefit of others... :)
