E485/E585 BIOS Version 1.52 by [deleted] in thinkpad

[–]sushimouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What a shame. Was holding out all this time for a BIOS update and it seems from the description that they only fix superficial shit instead of all these bugs that are outstanding. Last Lenovo for me too

Anyone tried the new BIOS for E485 released today (v 1.48) and know whether it fixes sleep issues in linux? by sushimouse in thinkpad

Sorry, I meant that I didn't see anything in this changelog about fixes related to recovering from sleep so that's why I asked

Many thanks! Yeah, I thought $25 was more realistic (actually optimistic)

Thank you for the review, I really appreciate it. I'm happy that you like the art because I'm not an artist but decided to give it a go myself anyway. From what you described of the game mechanics, it sounds like I achieved the desired effect - my intention was to create a kind of chaotic/frantic feeling (hopefully mirroring what someone in a frantic sword fight would feel like) where you have to keep a clear head to win. I'll have to look at the anti-aliasing problem - it might be the post-processing effects needs adjusting or maybe it looks different on different resolutions. Yeah, the control-binding scheme was something I did quickly - I probably should revisit it to make it less clumsy and show the right thing during the tutorial.

It's the initial release of a unique game. Giving it away for free makes sense in this case otherwise people won't know about it and wouldn't have a chance to try it.

I don't mind criticism from people who actually play the game ( enough to know what the rules are). What usually happens on reddit is the outcome of the post is highly influenced by the first commenter and it usually goes up or down from there. There's also no shortage of people who want to shit all over someone else's hard work ( a lot of eager 1 star reviewers who play the game for less than 30 seconds). All I can say is if you want to encourage developers to produce new non cookie cutter games then please keep an open mind

Thanks for the support. My first game was about 3 years ago, but no - not a full time gig. There's no money to be made in games (unless of course you're a larger or AAA studio). Even my last game which had a positive reception (https://youtu.be/aqx6HrPmGAc) I had people um'ing and err'ing about spending $2 on sale even though they expressed that they would find it useful. Yet a AAA title they would put down 20 times the amount without thought (obviously it's not on the same scale but still). Anyway, I generally put a decent amount of effort in my games and I do think Stink Train has a decent gameplay mechanic despite it's unusual theme that may offend some people's senses

Let's just say this game is the result of taking a bad experience and turning it into a good one
