Hi IV, I've loved all your guys' games, but neglected to preorder Prison Architect yet. So I'd like to finally do that now, but I see that I can either buy it directly from your site using either Sage Pay or Paypal, or I can preorder through Steam. Do these three all yield you the same portion of my...

It's hard to explain to someone how to install and connect to Roger Wilco, Teamspeak, or Ventrillo when you're in a game lobby.

I love Introversion's games but haven't yet bought Multiwinia. I'm very excited about being able to play Multiwinia over XBox Live Arcade, especially since, just by being on that service, it will have integrated voice chat. Why wasn't voice chat an integral feature in the PC release? Has it been add...

Awesome game so far. It totally will outsell SMB!

No, the point of the game is that if you are #1 in game, you should not expect ANY alliance you are in to be stable. Why, if you're #2, would you allow someone to beat you? Prep some subs, dudes.

Ya, ya, it's just not as easy as if there were a ring or something. Especially when trying to do it fast.

Awesome. The only screensaver worth paying for.

Also, I'm still trying to figure out their distance circles. The first one is their weapons range and the second is their max fuel range, yes? But no "scout and return" circle? Am I missing something?

ok while I was out you all went nuts with that game theory debate, but anyway....seeing how the topic is about new maps, I'll respond to that. Curious. How much trouble would it be for there to be a Civ-like map creator. Obviously, the ocean-less and large landmass maps from there would not fit here...

In fact, you can issue an order to the whole fleet. When you're selecting it from the menu of options (e.g. Fighter mode, Bomber mode, Anti-Sub), you can issue the order to all units of the same type by SHIFT-left-clicking instead of just left-clicking. Holy crap! Thanks! I've got to go test this! ...

I've got to wonder whether the $15 and $25 price is that much of an advantage. With the reviews that have come out so far, who wouldn't pay $40 or $50 for it. I would have. Instead, I bought one for me and one as a gift.

clarification: when I said "audio" I meant hours and hours--with expensive editing and mastering--of voice dialogue and special effects. Obviously, they made music.

The IV staff aren't wearing rags like they were before Darwinia became popular. Look at the cars they play with before the IGF in their diary. It would shock me if any of them were in financial hardship during the last 18 months: *tons of money from Darwinia: initial sales, Steam sales, IGF winnings...

Considering that the IV Store got completely fuxored at H-Hour, I'd say, "a lot!" Probably everyone had much better luck at Steam, yes?

Normally, authentication servers only start giving you problems if you try connecting simultaneously with multiple machines with the same key.
