Hi everyone, I just got the game last weekend and I'm amazed by it. Seriously. Anyway, I'm sure many of you are too. I haven't seen many negative comments about this game.

Anyway, since I just discovered about this game, I was wondering how it all started and when was this game officially released. From what I gathered it was in Q4 2004, but I'm not sure though. So, how was the public reaction when it came out? Was there any kind of peak where more people started to buy the game and has the trend diminished in some way? For me, it was that article from Gamespy where some developers ranted about the fact that nowadays games are hard to come by soon after the release date only because there's too many of them and not enough space on the shelves. He was then pointing how internet distribution was the way to go like valve and garagegames do. The article had a screenshot of Gish and that's what made me interested in it. I tried the demo, and the next day, I was buying it. So, was there a purchase peak after that article was published? Or am I the only who read the whole article haha. Oh, here's the article for those interested: http://www.gamespy.com/articles/596/596734p1.html" target="_blank">Gish is seen on page 4 of the article

On a different subject, what's the latest about Gish updates? I heard about coop, 4 players, net play, and a level pack. These all sound good. I hope it's not a rumour haha.

Oh and was is the limit of different workstation where the game can be installed? I would have to play this during my lunch time at work. I could even give a try to some level development.

Well, that's it. Very nice game you have there people. If only it was more popular so the board could be more alive haha.

I think it's at least 3.

Some still check this board regularly but there isn't much to discuss.

Usually games with level editors included have a fairly active messageboard community, because there are lots of people making new levels and pushing the game engine etc. I was suprised the Gish editor forum was so quiet because it's such a cool thing to play. Maybe CL should push the fact that Gish has a level editor, since that's really the only reason I really decided to buy the game. (Meaning: Gish is a great game but I only really buy great games with level editors, because I hunger for creativity  http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='::'> )

I see what you mean.
When I played the demo of Gish I was wondering wether I should buy it or not, but when I read a level editor would be released soon (at that time) I was immediately convinced http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
