PayDay 1 - The heist - aka Lets get into THAT vault- Oh, Is that sexist ???

CURRENT RATING 
FRUSTRATING




Since I am all up for CoOp at this time (even with ppl after 1995) I got myself PayDay 1 - The Heist for 1,49 on Steam.

I always try to start a series with its first appearance, so hmm. And I made a good xp, the PhysX installer recognized that there was a newer version of it installed ! *fireworks*

The start music was decent. Less decent was that the first thing the program showed me was a BIG ADVERTISMENT for a DLC, even in the main menu.

Well, what the hell. Lets go looking for some criminals online to rob a bank. Or two.

Twitching humble bees and stylish cowboys


Today there was the first Humble Bundle Live Stream on Twitch. Some of the employees of the sympathetic media product selling company with a charity flair were sitting in front of a camera and played a really good looking western arcade action game, called Secret Ponchos.

Even one of the main devs was there giving some answers. I write about cause the game reaalllly looks good (in my taste at least) especially for an indie that is (since Sony is behind is WAS ?)! And cause the Humble Bundle Show was ... interesting.

Well some facts : The game developing crew is working in their cellars and decentralized, they are using Sony's House Engine PhyreEngine, their Lead Artist worked for Batman the Animated Movie, they have 3 full time artists and some freelancing, they nearly got bankrupt before Sony spotted them on this big games convention in 2013, they working on that jewel since 4 1/2 YEARS !!!

I can not say anything specific about the Humble Bundle work force. They seem to have decent offices !
