Sorry to hear that--currently only xbox controllers are supported, but we're working on adding more gamepad support in a future patch.

I've posted the keys but lots of Indie Royale customers are reporting problems downloading them. I'm working with Desura to fix this as soon as I can. I posted a method that might work on my blog using the Desura client: Magicaltimebean.com

Thanks for your patience!

I gave him a +1 to make up for it. Will be looking into Linux and OSX as soon as I can, just got to fix up the next version first (1.0.4).

I had to look this up because I hadn't seen these images before, and I can definitely see the similarity! The reference images I gave to my box artist were from ancient Egypt, plus some Buddhist temple and even Aztec stone relief carvings. But the Babylonian reliefs look even closer to my final design! Thanks for pointing this out.

The original design was actually for an open world like you describe. Check out this early prototype: Youtube.com

During development I decided to focus more on puzzles in a linear progression, mainly because backtracking through puzzles wasn't very fun. Some day I would like to do this style of game though.

Sounds like a corrupted file problem, but if anyone else reports it I will look into it and make sure the files on Desura are OK...

I figured it out. I was defaulting pan to 0.5 instead of 0, thinking the range was 0 to 1, when in fact it was -1 to +1. This noob mistake is made more humiliating by the fact that I come from an audio background!

Thanks for notifying me of this, and I'll post a patch with a fix today.

That should most definitely not be happening... and that would drive me nuts in a matter of seconds. Strange thing is I don't do any panning control on the sounds. First things first, what version of Windows? and which (if any) sound effects *don't* come only out of the right channel?

I must have clicked something wrong in the publishing process, because Escape Goat is not ready for purchase yet and should only be in closed beta. I was very surprised to see it on the store this evening! Please bear with me, the game isn't ready yet but will be available soon...

Great point, this was the main reason I added flashing exit signs to the exits in Soulcaster II.

Thank you! These are shots from the Xbox version, and I hope to get some nice new shots for the PC version. I'm very excited to be releasing this on PC.
