Genetically enhanced entertainer.

<span class="bold">Paradigm</span>, a surreal point & click adventure featuring a hilarious cast of characters with confused DNA, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount!

DUPA genetics may have compromised Paradigm's good looks but that doesn't stop him from dreaming of becoming a world-famous musician. Still, he must first explore a radioactive world full of oddball characters and zany puzzles before it falls prey to the whims of an evil sloth who happens to barf candy.

The 10% discount lasts until April 12, 4PM UTC.

Bought. Exactly the right level of life-irony I resonate with.
i played the old alpha demo and it was far from optimised regarding good ol v-sync: i had 39% cpu usage at the start screen, so i opened the config.ini file
and changed some things: in bold

ALPHA demo: config.ini file

FILE = Paradigm.vis
#
# FULLSCREEN = {yes|no}
# yes - starts the game in fullscreen
# no - starts the game in a window
FULLSCREEN = no
#
# RESOLUTION = {Auto|Desktop|Game}
# Auto - wide-screen support is activated if a wide-screen display is detected
# Desktop - current desktop resolution is used when game is started in full screen mode
# Game - game is initialized with the resolution specified in the game
RESOLUTION = 800x600
#
# INTRO = {yes|no}
# yes - Show the intro movie on start-up
# no - Don't show the intro movie
#
# LANGUAGE = {German|English|...}
#
# LOGLEVEL = {Info|Warning|Error}
LOGLEVEL = error

i will check the new demo i hope it performs (cpu) better , i am familiar with wintermute, visonair and unity created games, they are available by the thousands, the only bad thing is v-sync, eats cpu and the GPU is lying and sleeping and does absolutely nothing, seems the cpu has to do all the work :D
So in the alpha ichnaged the full to windowed mode at 800x600

I own Belladonna a simple but nice point and click adventure, its visonaire or wintermute engine and also has has cpu usage.

Sometimes games mention it was made with an engine ( unity, wintermute, visionaire) , usually i avoid these games till they are 50% off or more.

AGS games perform very good i can run 6 or more at the same time, Wadjet Eyes great games are made with AGS and thats a good thing i have all current games and i am waiting for more to come.

update:

new demo looks better, more polished design , too bad the added distorted menus with the vertical warp distortion these do not benefit my senisitive eyes, the animated warping menu effect cant be turned of, , so i have to pass on this game.

check attachment: warpedmenu.jpg

I will wait for kathy rain 2 and more wadjet eye games to come...

man, this looks awesome... :)

I realized some time ago that I'm all adulty and enjoying mature and dark things... but it's just silly, sometimes you need to laugh hard! so I'm going to with this game for a change ;)
Happy to see this one here.
Unfortunately, as a kickstarter backer, we won't be getting GOG keys.
Why?
Mysteries of life.

As a Kicketarter backer, I'm wondering the same. The developer is handing out steam codes, so why won't he give GOG codes to those that supported him? ) :
This looks incredibly bizarre

Well, as far as I understand, getting the game here was kind of a last minute thing. And he can't generate keys like he does with steam or humble, so I guess he doesn't know how the GOG key thing kind of works.

But from the comments in his kickstarter, looks like he will ask.
low rated
That main character looks way too much like me!

I'm gonna sue!

Yeah, I saw he posted that on Kickstarter, after I had already posted this, and asked about the possibility of GOG codes. ( :

I'll hold off downloading from Humble, until we know. ( :

Is there enough material for you on the market?

In what way? Like he didn´t know whether he want´s to release Paradigm here, or it took GOG long time to decide whether they will allow to sell it?

If the former is true, how could he think that?
That game belongs here! :D

And he seems like a nice guy :)
I still have a few p&c adventures to play yet no mood for it. So I'll wait before getting a new one but it does look... weirdly interesting.

maladr0Id: I mean, you seem to be a Deponia fan, what's the worst they could do to you? :P
I actually only like parts of Deponia. And the puzzles are not among them. Brb, changing picture.
DUPA genetics you said...

Mr. Janerka, I see what you did here :)
