Ultratron works fine with a controller. Droid Assault is most definitely not a twin-stick shooter. We deliberately make our games easy because they sell more. The easier they are, …

both buttons exit the game immediately. See the one on the left? The one that's always there?

I know what it looks like, I coded it. Both buttons exit the game immediately.

This :D

Because that's what Valve tell us to sell them for....

I've met Terry personally, and I didn't knock Super Hexagon. I've just said it how it is: Super Hexagon (and VVVVVV for that matter) are examples of how to make games on the cheap.…

Nope, it's just you, I think.

Indeed, if it weren't for people like us, there wouldn't be most of the games that people love playing today. There'd be no Minecraft, no FTL, no Terraria, no Binding of Isaac.

By selling a lot of copies AND putting barely anything into it. Super Hexagon is bereft of actual content and actually has very little actual game in it. It is a perfect example of…

That does not make Robotron good.

Ah my mistake, I was referring to the 360 release of Geometry Wars (I've never actually played it, mostly coz I've never owned a console!) The original was 10 years ago now. Think …

Strange, there's an exit button right there in front of me straight away on my demo version.

We knew there was no huge demand for Ultratron. Although, Binding of Isaac. Our original blog post was about how much it costs to make such a game, and how much money such a game e…

There are a few detractors from Ultratron in here - and that's fine, I know it's absolutely not everyone's cup of tea - but often the reason given for not "liking" (for want of a b…

When we were making Ultratron for Steam we knew that it wasn't ever going to actually sell much, but that was not the point of the article. The point of the blog post I wrote was s…

Er, I think you meant to compare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6gmgExmJbM

It would seem that the niche we chose is a bit shite :) But that's why we're abandoning it.

And that publisher is... Steam. The trouble is even with the might of all those well-targeted customers there's still only a few thousand sales to be made - and thanks to the sudde…

Ultratron actually came out originally before Geometry Wars.

Aye that's me.

Total failure of a product which did almost everything just exactly wrong. Wasted a year of my life on it before I realised it was a total flop.

Alien Flux. Thrice cursed. Mention it not.

hello everyone! This is Cas from Puppygames. It's been very interesting reading this thread (thanks ewj for posting!) A few straight from the horses mouth facts: I sat down and wor…
