I have also successfully installed and run Avadon on my Galaxy Note. My only issues are already alluded to in this thread. The touch windows on various menus are too small for fingers, but this can be worked around with the stylus. I always have to hold it in place for quite a while before the game recognizes it as a selection; not quite sure if this is the game or the OS, but I don't seem to have the issue with other apps. The bigger problem is the lack of any option to increase the font size for the text dialogs. Being able to bump it up just a little bit would make a huge difference in readability. Otherwise, very playable.

$5 today only on Steam, brace yourself for some more new players.

There is now an Avadon forum within the Steam game forums area, for those who have either bought it on Steam or use Steam regularly for other things.

It's back in the Steam top 20 (barely) as I post this. There is an argument over whether Steam's Top Sellers list is unit-based or revenue-based, with different Steam employees giving different answers. If it's revenue based, than Avadon has sold 6x more units in the last 24 hours than have either Civilization V or the pre-order for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Perhaps someone is planning a Caribbean vacation soon...

Actually Steam often releases several new indie games per week. This was a busy release week that included SPAZ, EDGE, Hacker Evolution Duality (a sequel), Bastion, From Dust, and some complete unknown called Avadon. Plus a few DLCs for already-published indie games were released this week as well. Hype doesn't last long on Steam. If a new game has weaknesses, regardless of its genre, the player community will pick it apart pretty fast. Bastion has been extremely well-received, whereas From Dust has been pretty thoroughly trashed since its release due to its very short length, limited gameplay options and draconian Ubisoft DRM (something the publisher fibbed about in pre-release promos). Art style is nice, and it may get you a sales boost on release day, but if the rest of the game is poor, good luck trying to pitch your next title! Steam represents a conflagration of pretty much every gaming genre there is on the PC and Mac platforms, so a publisher shouldn't be discouraged by the 14-year-old FPS addicts criticizing old-school RPGs, just think of it as their loss. There is a segment of the Steam community which has been clamoring for more old-school RPGs, the Infinity Engine titles in particular (even thought they're all available on GOG), so this could prove to be a very successful move.

OK, you got me. I'm probably the only gamer left in Seattle who has never played any of your games; I kept meaning to check out one of the demos, but there was always so much stuff in the queue, and so little extra time. But you finally put yourself on Steam, and I couldn't procrastinate any longer. You are now officially #762 in my Steam library (#761 was Bastion ). The forum link on Steam's store page brought me here. Steam will give you a game forum in their own space if you ask for it. I mention this only because Steam culture is such that, rightly or wrongly, some customers will complain if you don't give them a place to post messages on Steam itself. Of course I recognize the advantages of giving new players a peek at other games available here. A sticky thread in your Steam forum with a link back to here is always a good idea. One other thing about Steam culture: Do not, under any circumstances, every say anything to anyone offering even the remotest hint you are possibly considering the creation of a Spiderweb TF2 hat. Rabid dogs will camp out at your doorstep if you do, and we all know you have to be at pretty high level to deal with those beasties.
