Yes, you’re right. I overreacted. I behaved in a way that can only be described as silly, and fed the trolls some prime trollfood. Granted, the attacks were more personal than usual this time, but being hated by idiots comes with being any kind of artist. Especially a silly one …
I just saw the thread about Phenomenon 32 on Something Awful, and… whoa. Just whoa. That’s a lot of hate in one place, guys. Not sure how to react to this, really. I mean, on one level I guess it’s hilarious to see just how absurd some of the comments …
I really liked working with GameJolt; the interface is nice, the site owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I like the overall concept a lot. Unfortunately, the players there hated Phenomenon 32 with an enormous amount of passion. They hated it for its graphics, for having a manual, for …
Phenomenon 32 is now available for download from GameJolt. You can also rate the game and say nice, fluffy things about it. (I like nice, fluffy things.) Since people seem to think that the latest version is fairly stable, I’d be very happy if people could start promoting the game …
The installer for the new version is up. All the serious problems have now been fixed, except for compatibility issues and similar stuff that I cannot influence. Now, to get the game to GameJolt (and a couple more mirrors, if possible) and we’re fine.
So. ‘Twas all a mix-up. The previous patch did actually fix the “falling through the ground” problem. In an odd turn of events, I have since then updated the patch with a different approach to solving the problem that had already been solved. I don’t know about you, but I …
The new patch for Phenomenon 32 should fix the rare “falling through the ground” problem (I hope) and the issue where one of the late research fields made another disappear. The save games should also be compatible. Get it here. It’s 37MB. The new installer will be up tomorrow morning, …
I guess you really know you’ve managed to create an alien world when you get a bug report that reads: One of those mousey things in that area north of the base, with those squiggly spreadshooters, is now on the lower level of the second structure, with the E.T. thing, …
I’m going to do a proper post about this tomorrow, but I wanted to let you know that version 1.1 of Phenomenon 32 is now out. It runs on Windows 7, fixes some issues with the Reconstruction Workshop, and also comes with a changelog (thanks for the suggestion). I haven’t …
So, one little bug has been detected in the game: the Reconstruction Workshop sometimes bugs out. Nothing lethal or game-stopping: just a small, silly error that may make it impossible to complete some projects. And I’ve already determined the cause and fixed it in the code. Later today I’ll upload …
