smiley Wait - are you saying they were text messaging each other while sitting next to each other?


Yes exactly..

I was at a track meet with a friend of mine who happens to be the coach, and sitting there were like 10-12 teen-aged girls all on their cell phones chatting.. and get this with each other..


Wow, that's pretty ridiculous. I assure you not every teenager is like that.

Yeah I know.. but as a store owner everyday I get at least one parent who comes in and says they are looking for an interactive game that gets the kid away from the computer or console. Did I mention the store is doing way better than I expected.. I think partly due to the fact of these parents looking for a new form of entertainment that stimulates social interaction face to face and teaches competition in a friendly format. Plus many other great core abilities many kids these days lack. But yeah, I want to say sorry for derailing this topic... even though it was kinda on topic but not. smiley

I doubt if you remember me, CJ, but I saw the mod on PHL, was interested enough to follow the link to its site, and was tickled to see it was your work. I'm downloading it now. It's great to see that Pit members are still mapping.

Just finished both Polaris and Handle With Care with what I think are the good endings. Great work CJ, very interesting and creative stuff! I liked 'em both and would encourage everyone who hasn't to try them.

Very interesting project you got going here. Very nontraditional in the sense of what a games are. In fact it took me a what I should do. Should I look at the stars, or say fuck it and leave? Should I destroy the boxes on purpose, or should I attempt to put them where they belong? I felt like it paralleled real life decision making, and that the you, the player, really needed to decide which ending is best. Especially on the second chapter where you need to decide whether or not its even worth trying to get the boxes into place (as you mentioned on the projects forums, both endings can be considered good endings depending on how you look at it.)

I also like the trippy-ness of the second chapter when the crates where destroyed.

Already posted a praise on ModDB, but Snarkpit is where it's at.
Congratulations on creating this wonderfully immersing experience, twisting the laws of FPS gaming.
I never thought I'd be so interested in stacking crates...

Just played through the second release for Radiator, "Handle With Care". I defiantly liked this one better (not sure why you disliked this so much Campaignjunkie). It was really abstract and weird and I really was curios about this.

Because I had so much trouble doing the L3 crate, the room got too destroyed and my boyfriend broke up with me which to be honest, I was kinda upset about, I wanted to put all the boxes back properly. The fact that the characters are gay didn't bother me unlike alot of other people.

And the X9 crate, was there actually a spot for that somewhere or was that another abstract thing?

Honestly, the gameplay is painful for me in both Polaris (stargazing wasn't my thing) and Handle With Care (physics when picking up the crates is just so clumsy - not your fault) but I found Handle With Care really interesting and I replayed through Polaris because of that.

Voice acting was a nice change!
