Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

Oh, I remember reading an article about this where there was a huge segment about pipes. Seems pretty entertaining, kind of wondering why I didn't already PTW.

Oh yeah, there's all sorts of pipes.  Pipes in the floor, pipes in the ceiling, pipes in the walls.  Pipes in the Earth.

Pipes under your skin.  Pipes behind your eyes.

PTW, until it's released I'd really like to see a forum game of that theme, wink wink ;)

Signed up too. Love seeing the obelisk squid/octopus (I have no clue what it is exactly other than some other dimensional shit).

 Also, spreading madness.....

New blog post, we talked a bit about video card compatibility and testing, and you get a glimpse into the horrific void that Mr. Adams had the foresight to avoid almost entirely.

I hate that part of developing everything.  It all is working, but now you have to get it actually working.

Also, yay programmer art.  The pride and joy of game developers everywhere.

I've found that the motivation of an art team to draw things is inversely proportional to the aesthetic qualities of the programmer art.  It's amazing.

There was also an exciting moment when I had to install new video card drivers on the laptop, a process which I couldn’t do because the newest Intel drivers were not signed by Hewlett-Packard. Hewlett-Packard last signed drivers in, uh, 2012. Instead, I needed to unzip the drivers, attempt to manually install them, deal with the fact that Windows 7 insisted that the drivers from 2012 were newer than the drivers from 2013, completely uninstall the drivers from 2012, and then re-manually-install the new drivers.

I hope you don't mean that you expect people running integrated video cards on a laptop are going to have to jump through that many hoops to get your game to run. If someone's running it on a laptop, forcing them to uninstall old drivers and manually install new ones sounds like a task that would fall outside their comfort zone, or at least too much of a hassle to bother with. If you have to rely on the latest drivers (or at least newer than the ones windows can install with minimal effort), then supporting it sounds like a bit of a lost cause.

Perhaps I'm being a bit naive here; maybe there are plenty of users who are savvy enough to put in the same work (or at least find and follow the instructions that someone might have on your forums after release), but are nonetheless stuck on a low-power laptop for other reasons.

I think it's a bit much to expect of a small dev team to check every single laptop out there to see if their latest supported drivers work with the game.
