I didn't know they were making a Mac version of this, awesome.

[Janichsan]

Oh, very nice! I always thought the trailers of Machinarium simply looked awesome and hoped for a Mac version. Nice to hear there's one actually planned.

[DaveyJJ]

Woot!

[Rev-O]

Wow, looks neat-o!

[UmarOMC1]

Hate to sound like a copycat but WOW! Looks REALLY cool! They're the ones who made Samorost 1 n 2.

I see how there is easily a Mac version of this, as it is a flash game like all their others.

[Cougar]

It's on Direct2Drive for $14.95 until the 16th.

[Frigidman]

Looks fun enough.

[Janichsan]

There's a demo. (It's in German, but there isn't much text.)

[Eric5h5]

I got the demo here, which is not in German, but then again it's localized in a bunch of languages including German, so likely it's the same demo.

At least the demos are monolingual. So – for all who can't read German – take this one.

[Eric5h5]

Ah, could be it's just the Flash player itself that's localized then.

Pretty short, but sweet. Nice game.

It seems also cheap.... i'm tempted to buy it. My only problem now is free time.... i love adventure/puzzle game but my time is limited now...
And my birthday is 16th October = release date :-)

If you haven't picked this one up yet, Machinarium is currently available for $5 until Aug 12. Something to do with bloody pirates... YARRRR! Eh. Gets me a copy for cheap.

[Sargiel]

I wonder where they got the 90% piracy rate from - but pretty shocking figures anyway. I would have thought for indie games it would be less but apparently not - damn those pirates! In any case I've ordered the collectors edition (boxed with extra CD, booklet and poster) from 365games.co.uk as it was only £10.99 which isn't bad

They pull those numbers from their arse. There is no way for them to know who would have bought a game or pirated it. They 'guess', and not a very educated one at that.

They're not saying that those that pirated would have bought it. There's no projected "We've lost X Billion Dollars because of pirates." that's the kind of nonsense that major publishers fabricate out of thin air.
None of that, they're just saying that for every person that bought the game, there were roughly 9 more that didn't and pirated it.

And they can guesstimate the numbers from hunting down torrent numbers and direct DL sites, using that as a basis. Heck, I'm sure there's people that were cheeky enough to distribute the DL link they were emailed (as happened with the Humble Bundle, where they estimate around 25% of all the DLs direct from their servers were unpaid for)...
