I received a private message regarding
A Hat in Time. Here's what it said
A Hat in Time's GOG version always starts with a splash screen saying there is a mapping contest and whatnot. All cool and fine, except the tools you need to enter the mapping contest aren't on GOG **yet.**
The contest's award is $1,000.
I mean, they'll probably slowly and surely push the tools out, as they at least recognize GOG is their "slow lane" for stable updates and whatnot. However, it takes damn long to fix anything indeed. The in-game screenshot utility for example, doesn't actually save screenshots, this was a bug they tried fixing once, but the fix didn't do anything. We're still waiting for a fix for that since November.
On the one hand: A massive dick move to basically exclude gog users in a modding contest due to the devs having failed to provide the modding tools so far. On the other hand: They said they're working on releasing those modding tools (to quote one of their representatives: "The GOG modding tools will see an announcement when they are ready to be released"). The contest is already over, but at least there's the prospect of the game being feature-complete at some point in the future.
So the question is: Should I or shouldn't I include it on the list? And more specifically: Should the contest even play a role in adding the game to the list?
Side note:
Does anyone here know someone who owns
Bubsy The Woolies Strike Back on Steam? The Steam version may have a fixed D11 mode, while GOG didn't get updates for this. We'd like to have a Steam user to confirm any info of interest here.
