Gamers, assemble!

<span class="bold">TIS-100</span>, in which you'll quench your coding fantasy (or enjoy some work away from work) is available now for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux - DRM-free on GOG.com with a 10% launch discount.

The guys that brought us SpaceChem and Infinifactory strip off all training wheels and take that final step into purest form of puzzle solving: coding. If you feel like you've missed your true calling, or if you like your coding job <s>a little too much</s> just the right amount, then <span class="bold">TIS-100</span> may just be the puzzle based assembly simulator you didn't even know you needed. You stumble upon the Tesselated Intellgence System, TIS-100, a massively parallel computer architecture comprised of non-uniformly interconnected heterogeneous nodes. The only problem is that it's broken. With a manual on hand and your noodle brewing, it's up to you to solve, debug, and fix the mysterious, corrupted machine. Once again, Zachtronics manages to make thinking, learning and applying simple systems to complex challenges the most satisfying thing you've ever done. Are you up to IT?

Unleash your inner code monkey in <span class="bold">TIS-100</span>, available now - DRM-free on GOG.com! The 10% discount will last for one week, until July 27, 9:59 AM GMT.

Owh!! I just bought this on Steam. Would have bought it here instead if I knew it was coming out here.

elgonzo: Lolcode is not that funny... Show a Malbolge program to someone and see faces melt. That's funny ;)
You could also argue that Malbolge being not Turing-complete makes it 'funnier' compared to lolcode (which is Turing-complete). :-b
Show Whitespace code to people and see blank stares.

Or a message written in DuckFuck... (Similar to BrainFuck but uses duck and quack for the language inputs :P )

edit: Okay Duckfuck appears to be a re-write of Brianfuck in D, and not a variant where it has flap, quack and other nonsensical fowl-based words :P

I never thought I'd ever see this kind of game released again except maybe by a single individual for free. Yay for Indie developers.

Instabought, downloaded, manual printed, installed.

I'll RTFM later on the porcelain throne as is required by tradition.

Instabuy! :D

Edit: twice ;P

Just came to say the same thing. Might still end up picking up a copy here if it goes on a good discount.

Hm, certainly an interesting game. Will put it on the wishlist for now.

Hehe... somebody willing to make a TIS-100 inspired 'action' game consisting merely of QTE sequences like [SPACE][SPACE][TAB][ENTER][TAB][TAB]...? :)

Intriguing, haven't heard of this one but sounds like it might be fun in a puzzle kind of way, at least for those like myself who only do a little coding and don't have to do this all day at work. Though if this is a puzzle game, then it's solutions and problem solving process might be more logical than some of the actual work related requests and issues I do get to deal with.

mmm... yeah... why does a mostly text game, which is capable of generating QBasic levels of graphix, need 2Ghz and 2 GB RAM???

ng: Looking at the screenshots I think I'm already playing a similar game for too long...
But my game pays me for playing it...
to think i once desired only intern levels of pay(not google interns though) for a job that requires any coding at all.

It might be the least powerful computer they had to test on or a game engine was used and those are it's minimal specs.

Am I the only one who instantly thought of 0x10c when seeing the announcement for this game?


Btw: I think this game is probably the best way to teach kids assembler programming, other than teaching them assembler programming.

Licurg: I don't understand what this is :/

Breja: I literally have no idea what I'm looking at.
It's a programming puzzle game.
Here is a good video with gameplay and explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxJVH5TZQFY

I'm playing it at work openly and no one suspects a thing. Best game ever.
