  Trine shipped for PC with XBOX controller support and no support for any other kind of gamepad.

  Go Microsoft, fragmenting your own standards!

  they say they didn't have many gamepads to test it on.... XD (that's bs, it was also released on XBox), they plan to add others (directInput hopefully probably) via a patch.

  Gah, couldn't get it to work.

  Couldn't find a cannibal with a whip, took to long to make a single character.

  Idea is to have human ingredients and whip them to jump in the cauldron

  File too big (300kb :s)

  I'd pretty much trust Xvid (MPEG4) to be installed

  but out-of-the-box windows comes with pretty crappy codecs.. among them WMV (not 9)

  You could launch the installer for Xvid from a game installer, too.

  the offscreen object is a really common pattern in graphical applications.

  I agree it's not really "clean" but... even Windows does it (putting text fields outside of a form to store stuff).

  Trigger once's description reads "fires once while true"

  Always is always true

  so

  Always

  Trigger once

  will fire once and then never again because Always will stay being true.

  proper split screen viewport object.

  for me this means camera object with clip region, so you can have, say, 3 way split screen with triangular shape or whatever.

  I'd say submit it as a bug to the tracker with an example .cap.

  Looks nasty.

  Text object doesn't have an angle and can't be rotated.

  You want to rotate it? if so, you might want to use a sprite with drawn text or Lucid's almost-done bitmap text plugin, here:

  I guess it would be nice.

  If you're looking for slow motion, do try changing timescale.

  I think it was posted before but whatever

  And yeah, I'm not on Steam yet but soon will be. Still, PC gamers I know don't really care about achievements.... then again I don't know many Steam suscribers personally.

  wow, looks amazing.

  I loved the dialog boxes... However, not a big fan of the type. I mean, I could barely read. In an RPG, that's really bad.
