Ice-Pick Lodge forums :: Buying Pathologic?

What I want to know is this: will me buying Pathologic contribute to the future success of Ice-Pick Lodge? I usually buy new games and download older because there are no new copies of it being made, so buying it would probably just make som store sell their last batch, or maybe make a private person a bit richer. I want to support the team, but would rather do this by donating money than buying a product that is not produced anymore. Any faults in my, um, path of logic?

On a tangentially related topic, I've seen Pathologic in physical stores in Australia for the first time last weekend (wow, way too many prepositions in that sentence). Time to pick up another few copies, methinks

Good to know, and I already played Pathologic so I'll be the first one to order Tension.

Btw, I already played with the Bachelor, should I move on to Devotress or is there a reason why her game is locked from the beginning, meaning that I should play with Haruspicus before her?

Well, usually, buying the product does support us, but in this case it won't do any difference - this will only affect your local publisher's wealth. (Azureus is a good Bittorrent client

) Since our new game is close to being done, you might consider waiting for it instead.
We're really grateful for your proposal to donate, but please, don't. ) Just buy the next game, when it's available, if you'll still feel the urge to support us. )

So that means when I bought the UK version of Pathologic way back August 2006, it didn't really support Ice-pick Lodge in any way?

Does Тургор (Tension) has any European/US publisher yet? If not do you know when it comes out in Russia? I see it says Q 2008 here

It reminds me alot of the art from another game called Baroque.

On the contrary - it just didn't support us financially, but yet, each bought copy of the game supports us, letting us know, that somebody need our creations. )) Thanks!

I'm not sure you can preorder it somewhere - how about I just send you a copy, when the game is released? ))

You might also want to check out www.tension-game.com - the official site will be up soon. (Some info is already on the site, such as screeneies and trailers)

Please could you do that? I't be great!
Do you accept paypal?

Do you think I could run the game though?
Nvidia GeForce 6600 (128 MB)
1GB RAM
Windows XP Home Edition
AMD Athlon 3000+ 1.8GHz

Not yet, but I think it's not that hard to create an account. )))

Everything is more than enough, except for the videocard. You'll be able to run the game only on average settings - we've worked very hard to improve the graphics. ))

Well the good thing about paypal is that it's fast and if I send you money in "Ђ" I can ask it to be converted to russian "руб".
If you can't create a paypal account, let me know how you would wish to have the money be sent.

Yeah this video card is really bad, I can't even run on medium most new games. I'll get a new card in a couple months though, I want to run this game on high.

Great then, Even if it can convert to dollars it's good enough - it's quite easy to exchange dollars to roubles in Russia.

Well, I'd personally wait for GeForce 9 before upgrading anything - it promisses to be quite an outstanding product, at least from the programmes point of view. ))

Hey just wanted to let you know, I am getting a new computer soon for the games I listed and Тургор.
Did you set up your paypal account yet? If so can I send you the money now?

Yeah but they seem really far off, I dunno they seem like they won't come out until 1 year from now, no? I was actually looking at the 8800 GTX/Ultra or even the 8900GTX (who is supposed to come out soon).

But most of the games that I want aren't going to come out until 2008 (Elveon, Project Offset, Тургор, Collapse, NecroVisioN, Metro 2033: The Last Refuge, The Wall, Scorpion etc...)

Nah, it'll be best to send te money when the game is actually done and ready to be sent.

Glad to hear, that you are getting a new machine. )) What specs are you looking forward to buying?

There seem to be a lot of Russian games on the list, are into them? ))

Okay, I will check up on this site once a month to make sure I know when the games comes out, thanks.

GeForce 8800GTX
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
4.GB of RAM
650Gigs of memory
Windows Vista 64-bit

And I think I'll wait for GeForce 9800 in any case - the last news say that nVidia has delayed the release because of the new improvements. Now instead of 1 Terraflops the card is said to produce 3. That's 6 times faster than the current flagman GeForce 8800 Ultra.

That's nice, did they stated any dates when the 9800GTX will be released?

Early spring 2008, I suppose... Oh yeah, And i'll reply about the games a bit later, I havent' missed that part of teh post.

Just as a side note, the new 8800 GT -- even though priced as a midrange card (about $250 or so) actually beats the GTX in speed and performance. If you decide to buy an 8800, get the new GT, especially from EVGA or BFG if overclocked.

Well, logically you should play through the characters consequently. (Also the Devotress is the crappiest in the terms of English translation)

Well that sucks, the main reason I bought the game is I thought by doing so I would support Ice-Pick Lodge. Well I am really glad Ice-Pick is still alive and didn't die off (like alot of small companies does) and are working on their next project. Does Тургор (Tension) has any European/US publisher yet? If not do you know when it comes out in Russia? I see it says Q 2008 here http://www.ndgames.ru/catalogue/?tension But do you have a better date then this? Where can I pre-order the Russian version, please? Also the art is very very nice: It reminds me alot of the art from another game called Baroque.

I see that's how it works then, so by supporting the publisher I also support the developpers in a way by showing that their is a demand for their games. It's good to know.

I guess then, a good 8 series videocard would be good.

Are you asking me if I am unto russian games? Well yes I am following russian PC games as much as any other games, but unfortunally most of the ones who have been released so far weren't as good as expected, to name a few (Exodus from the Earth, Tarr Chronicles, Fantasy Wars etc...) But they seem to get better now, Collapse, Scorpion and Metro 2033 look like there is alot of work being put unto them. I tried yesterday the russian demo of Hard to be a God and the game is pretty good so far. Did you try it?

Quote: GeForce 8800GTX Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 4.GB of RAM 650Gigs of memory Windows Vista 64-bit Nice config. ^__^ I was going to upgrade to a system like that myself, with a few differences - I think it's too early to move to Vista - it doesn't offer anything all that new in comparison to XP except for fancy interface and all... And setting up everything is a pain in the ass. )) I'd use a two system config - a dual boot. XP for performance, and Vista for stuff that only works on Vista such as DX10 games. And I think I'll wait for GeForce 9800 in any case - the last news say that nVidia has delayed the release because of the new improvements. Now instead of 1 Terraflops the card is said to produce 3. That's 6 times faster than the current flagman GeForce 8800 Ultra.

But by then I will have to update my build list here and there, but it's no big deal. I'd rather buy the newly released stuff while they are still hot, it will help save from doing too many upgrades later on. I'll wait then.

Just as a side note, the new 8800 GT -- even though priced as a midrange card (about $250 or so) actually beats the GTX in speed and performance. If you decide to buy an 8800, get the new GT, especially from EVGA or BFG if overclocked.

True, but I'd still wait for the release of GeForce 9 - the latest info claims, that it'll be anounced in February 2008, instead of spring. )
