Have You Played Roundabout?
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Roundabout is the game about a chauffeur and limousine. The limousine is constantly spinning, which makes navigation difficult, and the live action cutscenes are

Her Story & Roundabout In FMV-tastic Humble Bundle
$5 for Her Story and Roundabout is a right bargain, so I’d heartily recommend the full motion video-tastic latest Humble Weekly Bundle for those alone. Her Story’s a crime mystery told through recordings of interview footage (see its Advent calendar entry , Adam’s Wot I Think , a

Roundabout Devs 100ft Robot Golf Is What You d Expect
100ft Robot Golf – there’s a fantastic game name for you. Pretty much everything it is can be deduced from that name. The second game from Roundabout folks No Goblin, it’ll see giant golfbots playing on – and smashing through – courses across cities, mountains, and moons. It’s go

The Performance Update is now live!
Hey there, Roundabout crew! We've just pushed live an update that fixes a bunch of bugs and improves performance across the board. Some highlights include: Performance Improvements! . We completely rewrote our culling system, making it more ruthless and less lazy about what it's
Hey there, Roundabout crew! We've just pushed live an update that fixes a bunch of bugs and improves performance across the board. Some highlights include:

Performance Improvements!. We completely rewrote our culling system, making it more ruthless and less lazy about what it's drawing. It runs at twice the CPU speed of the old culler, and reduces what the GPU has to draw by a similar amount in best cases - which also improves your CPU time as a bonus. Short answer: things are faster. We also optimized a ton of other stuff: pedestrians, sound usage, terrain detail drawing, and more. As a bonus, you can even turn off weather using the "terrain details" toggle in options, too.
Resolution Upgrades. The version of Unity we shipped on was terrible about handling fullscreen resolutions. If you ever had to delete your resolution.settings file or experienced a black screen, you experienced this firsthand. Thankfully, our pals at Unity have fixed all these problems, and we've upgraded to take advantage of them! We've also got some fixes in for the AMD 5650/5700 driver crash, and a potential fix for people playing on non-60hz TVs at fullscreen.
eSports Polish. We're super excited to see the enthusiasm about eSports Speedrun Mode, so we put a bit of extra time to make things silky smooth here. You can skip the intro movie, the initial hitch after the timer finishes should be almost invisible, and the culler can now handle the speeds at which some of the fastest eSports drivers compete at.
...and more!. There's a ton of smaller tweaks we've snuck in too - fixes for typos, some minor grass painting tweaks, pickup placement for those hard to reach cash stashes, and some other fun things.

Limousines And Live-Action Cutscenes: Roundabout Demo
I say ‘charming’ and ‘lovely’ far too much. Granted, I am a moon-eyed fool in constant awe of the world, but it means you, dear reader, might be sceptical when I call Roundabout charming. But it is . As our Adam explained in his review of the puzzler set in a constantly-revolving

Next Update: Heads up that the next update will be focused on resolving the final set of issues for people with specific AMD GPUs and Logitech F510 controllers, as well as anyone seeing weirdness from starting or finishing a mission (weird collision, odd game states, etc.)
9/21 Morning Update (Steam build 389306)
I'm calling this build "The Input Update". There's a crapton of stuff here that should hopefully fix a bunch of weird things some people were seeing with input.

New Feature: You can now restart your ride anywhere! From the pause menu, "Retry Ride" will restart the current ride you are on. Not on a ride? It'll restart the last ride you picked up!
Updated to Unity 4.3.7p4. This update includes some fixes for third party controllers dropping, changing IDs, and generally being not great.
Fixed a bug that was causing some jump and horn button presses to not register on high performance/vsync-disabled PCs.
Fixed a bug where motion blur/'70s postproc would be reenabled after a movie regardless of what setting was enabled.
Hardened up the back wall of the mall to stop it from disappearing on some PCs.
Fixed a super rare bug that could cause the game and ui controls to get out of sync if you collided on a specific frame while doing a challenge.
Made generic non-Microsoft XInput devices ("Game Controller (XUSB)") bind with the default Xbox 360 controller profile instead of floating around in the wilderness.
Added experimental support for GameCube conrollers (via TigerGame USB Adapter)
9/19 Late Evening Update (Steam build 388825)
This build has a potential fix for Radeon GPU's crashing when intense collisions happen. If you still crash your PC on a big crash with your limo, let us know in the comments.

Added the ability to toggle Motion Blur and the '70s postprocessing on and off in PC Settings. (note: right now launching a Challenge from the Challenge Menu requires you to retoggle the option after loading for it to take effect. We'll fix this for tomorrow's update.)
Added the ability to lock the framerate to 60fps in PC Settings. If you're seeing crashes and/or random weird issues, please enable this and let us know if they still occur.
Fixed collision issues on Mountain Town Hall
Post-movie audio no longer plays in Official eSports Speedrun Mode
The lower cliffs behind the airport no longer gargle.
9/19 Early Morning Update (Steam build 387830)

Fixed a Linux bug that would cause the Charles Maximilian mission to crash on some machines
Fixed an audio slider bug that would stop sliders from being saved on the main menu
Fixed a restart mission bug with Beth's "Go to Lower Roundabout" mission
Lowered the volume of the "pulse" chirp sound for the Sonar upgrade and the Find Challenge
