Juicero did nothing inherently wrong. It is a fancy juice machine for fancy offices and busy people. It's really just another random victim of the internet lynch mob.
This is exactly what I have wanted for many years. This helps make Linux understandable and accessible to new computer users. Fantastic work, and thank you!
Everyone here should download the ISO and give it a go in virtualbox. It's surprisingly painless and quick to boot, and has an interesting and helpful startup guide. Take the time to check it out, it is truly fascinating!
Because I won't compromise on my vision or my integrity, because as soon as I do I may begin to compromise in other areas, perhaps tailoring the gameplay to the widest market instead of making something magical that I believe in.
Even it isn't the best way to market it, it is the right choice for me.
The puzzle game will help fund the rest of the RPG, yes. I am not too comfortable funding that using Kickstarter because it sets some hard limits that I might not be able to meet.
The RPG was definitely not a publicity stunt, I genuinely did work on it full time for five years (now 10). The publicity stunt I did sort of backfired in that the internet sort of forgot the legitimate work and focused entirely on the stunt, which damaged the credibility of the project.
Thanks, I didn't really have good enough equipment to edit on so that's a major factor. I actually had to borrow a machine to get that gameplay footage, as my Macbook can't really run and record it at a decent FPS.
I have been trying to make efforts to get it out there, but I just haven't gotten any traction.
I think they might sell a bunch of them this Christmas, since they got in retail stores and pretty much everything sells out. I'm excited by the idea that I can get my game on there for the kids who get one and want something fun to play.
Either way, I like what they stand for and it really is a good little platform for indie development!
