Saira / Re: Gamepad?

« on: January 06, 2010, 14:23:00 »

Not currently, and I'm not sure if Nifflas has any plans too.
It could be possible if you made the gamepad send the same keystrokes as the keyboard would, so I bet there's a program for that.

I quite liked it though, had to scout around before doing it.

You can buy stuff online as long as you have a debit card, credit card or another internet card such as visa gift cards. I wasn't aware Paypal had a minimum age when I signed up and it worked fine without a fake age or anything.

Perhaps just ask you parents if you can use their credit card and pay them in cash? That's what I always used to do.
Assuming you have enough money of course.

So THAT's what it's for.

I don't mind if anyone wants to create a section in challenges for this once the rules are sorted, I probably wouldn't be able to keep it updated.

(Aside from the existing Speed Runs thread, witch concerns the individual challenges.)

Yeah I guess you could probably skip a lot of the puzzles if you knew the codes before hand, however in a lot of other games the rules simply are "no third party programs" and "no cheat codes". So you could have:

1: Must achieve full ending and not use inbuilt debugging thing.

or

2: Must complete all puzzles, achieve full ending and not use inbuilt debugging thing.

I suppose it's up to who does the speed run, and could just mark it.

However really in the end it is about sales, and if they're bad then Nifflas has a problem.
Not necessarily. Everybody isn't in it for the money. Judging from how generous Nifflas was with the length of the demo, I'd say that an important objective of his with Saira was to gain recognition. But neither of us can speak for Nifflas.

This is true, and what many artists in multiple media formats seek. However it sounds like Nifflas has given even more of his time to Saira than his previous (and mostly free) games. There comes a point where you deserve/need money for your time whether or not that's your outright desire.

I don't really know that much about Nifflas so I'm just making assumptions.

Actually in response to the puzzles I had difficulty with, I didn't have much trouble after I found the Device Solver, I don't know if other people forget about it. Maybe it was just a me being forgetful.
