Indeed, for instance I bet there's a large Spanish market in the U.S. Unfortunately, Steam doesn't really give me access to that sort of data (an oversight I hope they fix) -- they know what language people are running Steam in, t

There is in-game support for adding translations, sort of. You just drop files into a folder and there you go. (This is in fact how our Russian and Korean translations turned up, fans had started working on them on their own, and then start

Despite my obvious pro-localization stance, I must say I agree a lot with this first point. Localization is NOT easy, and developers should be very wary about doing it in their first app.

(I'm the author) Just for the record, although it's hard to exactly quantify the extra amount earned from the localization, even a conservative estimate covers our localization costs and a small profit. You're right in pointi

(I'm the author) -- Good question! These were all actual sales, not steam key redemptions (which are tracked separately). So the answer is "zero."

(I'm in this bundle) I think it adds a bit of noise to the signal for sure, so I'm not sure if it's better, but without the weekly sale I'm not sure we would have gotten them to accept this bundle idea in the first place

There's some really great open source tools in this bundle, 3 of them (Haxe/OpenFL/FlashDevelop) were mentioned in this article which was on Hacker News recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7449154

Documentation is one of Haxe's weak points right now. Various Haxe networking libraries: https://github.com/MattTuttle/hxnet https://github.com/andyli/hxudp

I get that. (I wrote the article by the way). "I have trouble trusting anyone who thinks that Flash was ever a decent high-performance gaming engine" I never said it was -- just that if I have to switch to something anyways, perfo

OpenFL is not a plugin.

Context: I posted that description on the /r/linux_gaming thread to a user who initially thought that OpenFL was a plugin or something and was wondering "what they needed to do" to use it.
