So, a friend of mine over the internet recently purchased a game called Antichamber, he highly recommended to me. Since I do not have spare money for that I decided to watch a Let's Play of that game, and guess what, one of the best (not to be discussed in this topic ;D) commentator made one. Day[9]
For everyone interested, here is his attempt: Clicky!
About the game. It is a singleplayer mindgame which surely is to mess with your brain a lot. It also features a nice unique graphic style which I did not see before, to be honest. (looks like they didn't feel like spending much time on rendering/graphics ;D)
However, here is the trailer:
It can be purchased on Steam.
So, what do you guys think about it? Anyone of you played it?

Just finished Antichamber. Got about 85-90% completion on it, probably took about 5-6 hours all up (I was sick today so didn't go to work). I wouldn't really say it plays mindgames on you - it's just a puzzle game. I got stuck in a couple of spots and used youtube, but overall it wasn't too difficult; probably the hardest part was working out that you can use cubes to create more cubes - the game doesn't make that particularly clear. Once you get the final red gun upgrade the game becomes fairly easy and the puzzles become a bit less interesting. Also I found the trailer to be really crappy at actually portraying the game.
Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?

Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
