What’s the first piece of software you remember actually paying for with your own money? Not bundled with a computer. Not work software. Something you wanted badly enough to hand over your own cash for. I’m curious how old-school this thread gets. I think I actually paid for a copy of Ulead PhotoImpact😂

With my own money? Transmit FTP by @panic. Teenger, maybe late 1990s. I couldn't get something working and I emailed support, sure they would help a paying customer. They never wrote me back. I vowed to never pay for software again. (true story)

can you tell me what email you used back then? i will genuinely check our archives for it! (i single-handedly answered every single support email back then — it was exhausting — so i’m dying to know.)

sorry to barge in but please try our “motion reduction overlays” in big salon frame, or crosshair, or both! we’re very curious if they help people.

PS5 version is already in 1.4.10 while Switch 2 is still stuck in 1.4.5. Any idea on when the latter will receive its update(s)?

Big Walk is lovely, and it's going to leave a big Walk-shaped hole in my heart; it's so simple and pure, and yet there is nothing else quite like it.

i guess i dont typically play a ton of 3D first/third person games with controller (mostly KB+M), and my friend recommended controller for this game (which makes sense for the individual arm controls) so it really trips me up when it isnt consistent across the games i play haha,

Earlier this year, we set up a special room in our office where people could sneak preview Big Walk with their friends. Almost 1,000 people came by. We wanted the experience to be special, not just sitting at a screen. So we had some fun. Here's a look at the room's big finale.

My family and I love this cute game! We've enjoyed it together for hours. What are these little guys called? Can I call them Bloppers? They look like Bloppers.

@panic Are you aware that your website is down? So is help.

Last I tried, the app wouldn’t validate my license, giving an error message. I couldn’t get past that screen to even use the app.

Everything should be fixed now, as we migrated all of our services to stop the attack.

Replying to @panic
Well I don't know because I can't get past the Get Started screen so that my license is verified and I can actually use the product. This is frustrating, to say the least.

That should definitely be working. Are you getting an error message, or what's happening specifically? I can research ASAP.

Replying to @panic @wkeving
I'm assuming that also affects the license server or is this something else? Can't seem to use Transmit right now.

Yes. We are migrating, hopefully you'll be able to access the new server very shortly if not already!

Ok. Any idea why an FTP server I was connecting to via Transmit a month ago suddenly won't connect anymore? Was there an update to v5 that changed anything? It just won't connect.

No, there hasn't been a Transmit 5 update in a while. Any clues in the "Transcript" window?

It won't work! There are moments where voice chat needs to be isolated as part of the core gameplay.

Big Walk, of course, was the result of many years of hard work from a small team — House House — with support from lots of others. Here's the full list of people who made Big Walk great! bigwalk.game/credits/

please try turning on our experimental “motion reduction overlays” in settings and let us know if it helps! and consider widening the FOV!

Towards the end of our session, my friends and I ended up filling a room with flare gun smoke, took all the laser pointers we could find, and made our own DIY rave. @panic and @house_house_ really cooked with Big Walk
