New Website and Pre-Orders for Crayon Physics Deluxe
We have a new website for Crayon Physics Deluxe at www.crayonphysics.com. There’s not much there yet, but hopefully there will be soon ;)
www.crayonphysics.com
I’ve also setup the pre-orders for Crayon Physics Deluxe. You can pre-order the game from PayPal now. (You don’t have to have a PayPal account, just click the continue located on top of the credit card row).
Pre-order bonuses
- Save 5$. The prize of the finished game is going to be 20$, but if you pre-order during November you’ll get the game for 14.95$.
- Get a change to participate in the Crayon Physics Deluxe beta. Everyone
who pre-orders the game will be able to play the beta version of the
game once it’s released.
The way this works is after your transaction has been processed by PayPal you’ll receive a confirmation email from Kloonigames with a super secret key. Once the game is ready to be beta tested, you’ll get another email with a download link to the game. (And I’ll also email you once the game is finished so you can download the full version as well).
There won’t be any kind of DRM, because I’ve found that it only hurts the real customers (e.g. I’m an owner of Space Rangers 2, which I can’t play because the DRM is incompatible with my computer). And no DRM will stop people from pirating your game.
If you have any questions you can email support@crayonphysics.com or write a comment.

F*** Yeah This Is Amazing!!! I love you! (not in a creepy way, don’t get scared)
November 10th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Great! Already preordered!
November 10th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Yeh sweet.
i used to stick different colored crayons in me bum when i was a kid.
this game reminds me of that.
colors and bums are awesome!!
November 10th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Great for you! And great for no using DRM. You’ll have my 14.95$, and I’m sure much more.
Have you ever dreamt about something like this?
November 10th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
One question YOU NEVER SAY WHEN ITS RELEASED. o yea, how much space will it take?
There should be a part of the site where u can download other peoples maps and stuff.
I got kinda pissed of when i finally realized its priced but i am still excited.
i am gonna think if i am gonna buy it because i am a person that LOVES MONEY!!!!!
even the best deals i still think about it but im gonna buy the orange box for 8 pounds and get left 4 dead but i think crayon physics deluxe is gonna be great!
IMPORTANT!!!!
it would be nice to make a trailer of crayon physics deluxe and put it in instead of that other video.
PS: dunno how your gonna make a nice trailer though
November 10th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
@timmy: he can’t know when it is released because it depends on how the beta goes.
@petri: I’m glad to see you have a forum planed. I don’t know if you used my idea or had it planned for a while, but either way I’m glad there will be a forum!
November 11th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Although I think I know the answer already, which operating system will this be available for? Windows only I assume?
November 11th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Very NICE!!!
November 11th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Awesome! The only thing that scares the living shit out of me is that you posted the same exact video of the game that you posted over a year ago..
NOW PRESENTING: That really awesome thing that you saw, over a year ago! Yay, I sure love aged video games.
Don’t get me wrong, I still am buying this game, but seeing that vid didn’t make me feel good.
November 11th, 2008 at 1:48 am
Ok, I’ll preorder it at the end of November to get the preorder price, (It will be GUARANTEED $14.95 on November 30th, right?) but I am a little dissapointed that no solid release date info has been provider.
I have been waiting 18 (19?) months for this to be released, and if the 18-month old video is a good indication of the products final quality, it seems like that waiting time was all for naught.
Please provide solid release information soon? Even if you just approximate and say “Sometime January 2009″, I’d be cool with it. I just don’t want to go spending £10 and no see anything for my money for a year.
Also, would it be possible for you to publish this game on Steam? If possible athat would be awesome.
@Timmy! “o yea, how much space will it take?”
Somewhere between none and all. It will probably be about 50-90 meg, but allow for upto 500 meg.
November 11th, 2008 at 1:48 am
wow, 2 posts of good news in close proximity, i’ll be pre-ordering now…
November 11th, 2008 at 3:35 am
What don’t you guys understand about the fact that a release date would not be practicle?
November 11th, 2008 at 4:50 am
@Andy: then don’t spend the £10 and pay full price when Petri will decide to release this amazing game.
A moderator should delete all those useless comments trying to push Petri…
November 11th, 2008 at 5:01 am
That’s a very nice website! It makes me wanna pre-order the game…. and I will!
November 11th, 2008 at 6:09 am
You should really put this thing up for pre-order on Steam.
November 11th, 2008 at 6:42 am
@Timmy!:
how much space will it take?
The download will be around 20-30 Mb, installed game 30-50 Mb.
@Brian:
I didn’t even think about the trailer video. Actually I didn’t really have the time to do a new trailer for the game. But I’ll try to make enough time to do that.
@Andy: Yes you will get the game for $14.95 on November 30th as well, unless the game will be released before that
I’ll provide you guys with solid release information as soon as I have some. I don’t want to end up in a situation where I’ve promised the game to arrive on date x and I miss it (like most indie games tend to do, when they publish overly optimistic release dates).
@Tchuvak: I think it’s good that people can say what’s on their mind.
November 11th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Btw. Special thanks to all of you who pre-ordered the game. You have a special place in my heart
November 11th, 2008 at 8:55 am
[...] Physics Deluxe se encuentra listo para ser pre-ordenado por solo U$15 en el sitio web del desarrollador. Cabe destacar, que este juego fue el ganador de la edición 2008 [...]
November 11th, 2008 at 10:08 am
No DRM? Sold.
November 11th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Looks great! Any idea about the minimum system requirements?
November 11th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
not that it makes a difference to me, but have you thought about language packs, translations???
November 11th, 2008 at 1:10 pm
game has been preordered
thanks
November 11th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Preordering is done! This game will be a lot of fun. Let the community know if you need some help! As nigel coldwell said; we can make language packs.
Go go Petri!
November 11th, 2008 at 2:01 pm
@Fede:
minimum system requirements
Windows XP / Vista
1 GHZ or faster CPU,
512 MB or more RAM,
DirectX 9.0
3D card with 64 MB of texture memory (if you a graphics card that is younger than 5 years, then you’ll be fine).
@nigel coldwell:
There might be language packs… I’m currently working on getting both the English and Finnish versions done, so doing localization shouldn’t be that big of a problem.
November 11th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
it’s a good news.
if you can ,we can help you to make a chinese language pack.
Looking forward to your letter.
November 11th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
where can I get a new graphics card? And for how much?
November 11th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
@mr. awesome: Your question is off topic! You should rather ask this in an more appropriate forum.
@Petri: Being a French native speaker, I could help you to make a French language pack.
PS: Game pre-ordered as well
November 11th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Vote 3 for putting it on Steam!
November 11th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
@mr. awsome: What kind of computer do you have? I would do a quick search for “graphics card for (insert PC type here)” and maybe include the requirements of CPD.
November 11th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
thx
November 11th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Will there be a tangible product?
Will it be available in the UK?
What time is it?
November 11th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
\o/
Preordered! CANT WAIT! =o)
November 11th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Definitely have to agree that this game would be great for Steam, and I’m pretty sure they’d be more than willing to put it up on it.
Vote 4 for Steam!
November 11th, 2008 at 8:08 pm
vote 5 for steam, but there should definitely a version without DRM
November 11th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
*pre orders on the off chance it might work with Wine….*

November 11th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Anyone know if it’ll work on a mac?
November 11th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
I’ll definately pre-order, but I also want to get a copy for my friend’s kids (for Christmas, if it’s out by then). Any chance of pre-ordering gifts of the final software?
November 11th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
@tolan:
@Chance:
The game will probably NOT work with Wine or some other emulator
I know that the prototype does run with Wine, but I’m pretty sure that Crayon Physics Deluxe won’t run on Wine. At least I wouldn’t bet on it. If you or anyone else wants their pre-order refunded let me know at support@crayonphysics.com
@Jorke:
The game requires a Windows XP / Vista so I think it’s not going to run on a mac (without dual booting). After the PC version is done I’ll try to find time to do the Mac and Linux versions of the game, so people with other platforms will get a change to play the game as well.
@KieranD:
Will there be a tangible product?
There might be in the US, but at this point I can’t say for sure. Also I’ll probably do few boxes by hand, but they will be collectors items
Will it be available in the UK?
No the boxed version of the game will mostly like NOT be available in the UK.
What time is it?

November 11th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
Also I’ve counted your votes on the Steam issue. I’ll try to do my best to get the game there, but it’s not exactly my decision.
November 11th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Great, I have been waiting for Crayon Physics Deluxe for a while now. I love your games and I’m happy to be able to return something back for your effort, keep the great work!
Greetings from Colombia!
November 12th, 2008 at 1:00 am
I really would like to pre-order this game, but my bank (Op) dosen’t like the idea of me using Visa Electron with PayPal. I guess i have to get a new credit card but that is going to take some time.
November 12th, 2008 at 1:13 am
YAY!!… Pre-Ordered!!
I can’t wait ’till “Until its done!!” xD
November 12th, 2008 at 2:39 am
Will there be a Wii or DS version of this game?
November 12th, 2008 at 2:45 am
Preordered! I had immense fun with the original, and I’d be happy even if it was just that with more levels.
And Vote 8 for Steam, as well as Vote 1 for preorder-ers being able to activate the Steam version (a la World of Goo).
November 12th, 2008 at 3:04 am
@petri.purho
I might be able to do a port of Crayon Physics to a mac, but it depends on several factors. The main one is whether it starts up windowed or full screen.
I also preordered the moment I saw it on 2dboy.com
I have been on kloonigames for a while, and have been following crayon physics since the start.
I also hope that if you put it on Steam, that something similar to the deal with WoG, where pre-orderer’s can use their magic code to get the game on Steam as well.
November 12th, 2008 at 3:07 am
Vote 9 for steam as well as vote 1 for WiiWare or DSware version. (like world of goo)
November 12th, 2008 at 3:45 am
Also would like for it to be on Steam.

Wow…. game looks awesome! I think I’ll not pre-order, just so I can give you more money.

Looking forward to a Mac version!
November 12th, 2008 at 9:38 am
Me too! (Mac version!)

I’ll preorder it for sure, but I want to do it on Steam
November 12th, 2008 at 11:24 am
Me too (Mac)!
but probably i’ll preorder the windows version, can’t wait..
keep up the good work!
November 12th, 2008 at 11:34 am
Congrats, petri! I hope the money is rolling in!
I’m sure I’ll be pimping this to my friends, family and colleagues as soon as I get to play through it for myself.
November 12th, 2008 at 11:49 am
@Sivulla: That sucks, I thought that Visa Electron would work with PayPal
@amoose136: WiiWare and DS versions are probably not going to happen, at least not any time soon. DS particularly is platform where you need a publisher todo anything and publishers weren’t that interested in doing Crayon Physics Deluxe.
About the Mac version. I know that there a lot of people with only MACs, so I’ll try to find the time to do the port after the PC version is done.
November 12th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Fantastic educational game!
One question, how about a port to:
[b]Windows Mobile ?[/b]
There are far more touchscreen handheld devices than tablet pc’s, and you could make good use of the accelerometer! Seriously, I think you should consider this.. Look at the 800×480 3.8″ screen of the Touch HD.. It’s begging to be played!

@Petri,
Just wanted to let you know that this game not only looks and sounds awesome. I really hope you keep the music from your original preview video in the game. There is something both relaxing, beautiful, and addictive about the game and I haven’t even tried it yet, I’ve only watched it from an outside perspective and it boggles my mind how something so simple can be so enticing. I’ll definitely be pre-ordering in the next couple of days.
I understand that some people want this game through Steam but please don’t let Valve turn this into a Steam exclusive download. I know that Steam appeals to a lot of people but for someone with a slightly older PC (I play a lot of indie games because of it) unfortunately when it comes to Steam and download services like it, that are required to be running in order to run an actual game, Steam proves to be just another resource hog for me. It’s also the reason why I never did get Audio Surf (I would have loved to) but unfortunately it’s Steam exclusive and so I’ve done without it.
Aside from that, please keep up the great work! I’m sure I’m not alone when I say this, but I can’t wait to play Crayon Physics Deluxe! The past couple of years have been great for indie games and fans of them and I loved World of Goo and still love it but in all honesty, I’ve been looking forward to Crayon Physics Deluxe even more than Goo, seriously!
I really appreciate all the work all of you indie developers do and the time you take to do things right. Some people complain about having an older computer but I have to say that for me it’s been beneficial in that I appreciate indie games that much more and not being able to play most “mainstream” games hasn’t been a burden, it just allows me to save a little bit of money that I can put toward some truly fun and unique indie games.
I’ve babbled on long enough but I really can’t say enough good things about what little I’ve seen of Crayon Physics Deluxe! I cannot wait for the finished product and I sincerely wish you the best of success with this and with all future endeavors!
Take care!
November 12th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Preordered!
Why do people insist on having steam in order to play the game?
Just the game will be fine, thanks Petri.
$15 is a small price to pay, especially considering all the fun I’ve had playing your various mini-games.
BTW I hope it doesn’t require .net
November 12th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Crayon Physics Deluxe “on-Steam” doesn’t mean “Steam-exclusive”
November 12th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Steam or nothing!
November 12th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
You thought about selling to teachers? It will work great on an interactive whiteboard! I’m sure it would make a fun science lesson too…
November 12th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Would love to see this on Steam.
November 12th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Awesome! I think an iphone or Windows Mobile version for touch screen/stylus phones would be great as well!
November 12th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
@HostFat,
I realize “on-steam” doesn’t mean steam exclusive, what I was getting at was that Petri should not put this game on Steam if Valve won’t allow him to sell it through other services (or straight from his site). To me it was a big mistake to make Audio Surf a Steam exclusive title. A lot of people like it, but a lot more would have liked it had it not been sold through Steam. That’s all I was getting at.
It doesn’t sound like Petri had any intention of doing that anyway, I just didn’t want him to sign anything that would make it a Steam exclusive because Valve (like all publishers) only care about the money and not the bigger picture.
A game such as this would not benefit from Steam. People who use Steam would benefit in that they could purchase the game through Steam with an existing account, but the end product would in no way benefit from being executed through the Steam service (no need for high scores and what-not).
So yes, I hope Petri is able to release this on as many platforms and through as many venues as possible, I just hope he doesn’t get any shady offers from publishers that sound like a good idea on paper. Look at World of Goo, they absolutely did not need Steam!
Steam needs World of Goo. Same thing goes for Crayon Physics Deluxe.
That’s basically the point that I was getting at.
November 12th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
@Johney Boy: Well actually Audiosurf did better because of Steam. It has been on the top seller list sense its release, and that is where most of the money is coming from. But I do agree with you. CPD should not be steam exclusive. If Valve wont let it be sold elsewhere, than forget them. However, a game such as this would benefit from Steam.
November 12th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
you should make a ds homebrew! It doesn’t have to be crayon physics related!
November 12th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Dude, i would love a hard copy…
November 12th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Yeah, the maker of the greatest computer game ever (Forbidden.exe) is selling his first game! Good job, Petri. Looking forward to the finished Crayon Physics.
November 12th, 2008 at 11:36 pm
@Chance (and everyone else in general who’s following the discussion),
Actually, Steam would benefit from having a game such as this.
I know that it would increase sales but unfortunately Audiosurf has also lost sales because of the fact that you MUST use Steam in order to purchase or play it. That is unfortunate because there are a number of people (gamers in particular) who either do not use Steam or dislike Steam, just as many as there are people who do like Steam.
I’m just saying that the Steam service doesn’t make the games good, it’s the games that make the Steam service good. A lot of people forget that.
I’m not too worried because it doesn’t look like Petri would make this Steam exclusive anyway (even if he did have the opportunity). I’m just glad he’s got it up for Pre-Order now as well because I am anxious for the game and have been watching out for it ever since it won at the IGF (even before that).
Please understand that I’m not arguing any point here and I’m not against anyone who wants the game up on Steam. I’m just stating that the Steam service prohibits just as many people from playing (or wanting to play) some of these games as it does attract new players. So making any title exclusive to such a service turns the consumer option into a double-edged sword. The only example I can currently use is Audio Surf. I really wanted Audio Surf, unfortunately my PC does not agree with Steam, so as badly as I wanted the game and heard so many good things about it I had to completely forget about it. I just wish there had been an option to buy the game straight from the developer. That option also allows for the developer to earn more for their work rather than having to share with a middle man.
Before anyone writes another comment about the subject though, please, read everything I have posted because I already understand the popularity of Steam. I also understand that it is very un-popular in some circles and that people would rather play without it (and be able to play without being logged in or watched when they do play any game). Steam is one of those services that is beneficial to the gaming scene, but it’s not the answer to it or how games should be distributed, because if that were the case than anyone could argue that EA is the best Publisher in the world simply because it is the largest and has more advertising power. I think we all know as gamers that this simply isn’t the case.
Hopefully all of us (who are looking forward to it through digital distribution directly from Petris’ website, or through Steam) are eagerly looking forward to this game. Either way, I’ve been spreading the word about this game as much as possible because it is one of those titles that I think everyone has to at the very least TRY. So far, everyone that I’ve shown the preview video to has been awestruck by how simple yet charming the game is and they are equally impressed and want to play the game as well.
@Petri,
Thanks for making this game! I honestly can’t wait, but I will
of course, I’m just as anxious as I was when I was a kid (and now I have my own kids whom I can share and enjoy this game with)! Once again, thank you for making something that can be enjoyed by everyone!
November 13th, 2008 at 1:37 am
Actually I can pretty much prove that the people who bought Audiosurf because they saw it on steam far outweighs the people who don’t like steam but wanted the game. But I’m not saying steam exclusive is a good thing. AS would have obviously sold better if there was a non steam version. All I’m saying is that in AS’s case, steam was good for it. If CPD goes on steam I am confident that it will be good both for Petri and Valve.

November 13th, 2008 at 2:07 am
Hi there!
It’s really been a while since I’ve posted a comment (even though I drop by regularly to check for new games I didn’t have enough time to post one). So I’ll just say a few words since such a great event is coming:
-Groundhog is definitely my second favorite game on this blog (no need to tell you which one is first). Too bad I can only play it with full features enabled at school (seems like my school’s computers are (far) more powerful than my own). No need to tell once again that it has been a hit there and with young audience.
-Well I guess it’s too late now to cheer you up in spite of the angry/eager/hateful/whatever comments about CPD, but I see you’ve managed to overcome everyone of them and are doing great.
-I’ve had some ideas of mods for CP but I didn’t get to find the material I was looking for (my CD-ROM from the Windows 95 era have all mysteriously disappeared). I was thinking of a World of Goo mod (thanks again for speaking about it) but like I said earlier I can’t find the time. This year is really a tough one at school!
-I try to get in touch with you with MSN but maybe it didn’t work (I’ve also had many bugs with other people on MSN)
Er… I think that’s it with the I-wanted-to-tell-you-but-I-didn’t-have-time comments.
Now with the latest news :
-I’m going to pre-order CPD!
-to publish home made levels, do I still have to use my public box (which I didn’t check for months) or will there be a allocated space on your blog to upload (and download) them?
-concerning the level editor, will it be more user-friendly than the previous one? I don’t intend to offense the previous one but I mean will it be as powerful-once-you-know-how-to-use-it? I could edit the background, the collectable and the ball through xml files and your editor actually spared me a GREAT amount of time in defining the different elements (xml files were actually very time consuming to edit). Will I still be able to choose a background, change the ball or the collectables?
-you said that we could mute the music, but can I just change the music in the game rather than play it in my own player, like I do whith CP?
-if I remeber correctly you were aso into LittleBigPlanet. I’ve heard rumors that Sony has removed many home made levels because of copyrights issues. Since my first levels for CP were not “legally” clean with it, can I still create such levels? Or considering that home-made levels are not made to be sold can I go on?
-even though I’m busy with school I’m considering finding time for beta-testing…
Well I think that’s it! Keep up with the good work!
November 13th, 2008 at 2:54 am
Steam is a DRM crazy freak and I refuse to ever use it. If I want to play a game I want to play it without additional software, internet connection and discs. Every Steam game I have bought never gets played. I rather buy a regular PC game and get a no cd patch and play that.
Steam is like being forced to download demos from GameSpy. It sucks.
November 13th, 2008 at 4:30 am
I need to preorder it !! :DDD
Really nice website dude
November 13th, 2008 at 4:34 am
Steam is more like the opposite of DRM. It let’s you play your games on as many coputers as you like be singing in to your account. It does not require an internt connection. It is better than a disk becuase you can never lose or misplace a steam game. It never forces you to download demos so I don’t know what your talking about.

I never buy games. But I preordered this one! I wish Petri the best of luck and huge succes with his awesome game concept. I predict this will work greatissimo on a gaming platform like the Wii. @Petri, do not feel rushed to finish the game. Instead, I trust you will deliver a polished game perhaps with an editor included?
November 13th, 2008 at 11:40 am
Steam exclusivity
It will not be a steam exclusive title! It’s totally possible that it could sell better if it was a steam exclusive title, however I think that it’s a pain in the ass to buy the game for people who don’t already have steam installed. And I think that there could be people interested in the game who don’t have steam installed.
Editor
It will be much much much more easier to use the editor that comes with that game, than to use the one released for Crayon Physics.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Bought! Been waiting for this game for a while since i’ve played that pre-beta test demo a while ago. Hopefully i’ll get the same mileage as Armadillo Run with this game. Indie Games Rule!
November 13th, 2008 at 3:35 pm
Oh yeah, A DS or iPhone POrt of this would be awesome as I have both (with different levels for the portable of course) Once this is out you shouldn’t have an issue getting a publisher to support you to pass through the Nintendo requirements. (I would think)
And i’m all for putting this on STeam as well, but as long as you allow us to download it from your site with our super secret key i’m all for that (a great portable laptop game).
November 13th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Please, make an official iPhone version asap!!

Petri Purho
Just releasing the game with an editor is amazing: giveing others the opportunity of creating some interesting levels, build off of your working code. Wanna say great game, pleased to see a final version coming soon, and with the many added levels too, I just hope they are challenging.
I learned of this game through another game called “magic pen” it is the same game as yours’ but instead of “stars” is “red flags” it has hinges and pins , which I love. It also wont allow you to cheat (except for a few stages where bugs are) by placing your box below the ball to raise it. It also allows you to draw perfect circles if wanted.
I think your version will out do the “magic pen” (im hoping) by allowing us to draw any shape and it hold that shape, with out auto shaping for us. But will it have “PINS” ?
I was wondering how to share my levels I did create from the old editor, which was at first a lot of work, to get hang of ,but once mastered I created level s quickly, with class of course. I have one set that is 20 levels, and another set of “Moon levels” low gravity on the moon levels of course. With my own music added, to spice it up. Im also a part of the ccmixter.org where you got “ghosts” track from. Its nice to see how you used so many sources to create something so grand off of basic physics.
I will be buying “when I hit the lottery”
Thanks Matthew
November 13th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
@Sippy Cup: Yes, crayon physics deluxe will have all the features that magic pen has.
November 13th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Chance Says: I can pretty much prove that the people who bought Audiosurf because they saw it on steam far outweighs the people who don’t like steam but wanted the game
LOL… Chance, i would love to see this alleged “proof.” Only one of my friends likes and uses Steam… the rest of them are mostly disappointed, because the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, yet this is the most likely candidate to win over M$’ live arcade.
I too am very disappointed that i couldn’t play audio surf, but truth be told, i will probably never install Steam… not in its current shape and model.
Petri, congratz on reaching this big milestone. I’ve been looking forward to this for a very long time now!
Good luck.

What is so bad about steam? Everyone over at the AS forum love it. The people who hated steam and only downloads it to get AS turned out to love steam. And yeah about the proof there was a thread onthe AS forum that the creator Dylan wrote that basically said how much steam was helping his sales and that he hasn’t recieves many complaints about releasing it only through steam.
This isn’t the place to explain to you why steam is so good so we need to stop the argument (but really everyone says how they hate steam but they never have any reasons)
November 14th, 2008 at 4:25 am
I have nothing against steam. I just don’t want cpd to be steam exclusive
November 14th, 2008 at 6:03 am
Hey Petri! Been Awhile since ive posted. Im very Excited to see this update, ive already put in my order and im about to go email a large amount of people about this.
Im glad you are charging for this one, not that i like spending my money its just this game is brilliant and you deserve pay for your talents.
November 14th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
hi just pre ordered this amazing game im a physics teacher in ireland and have my wiimote hooked up so the kids in my class can all have a go! we’re desperately waiting the deluxe version, go on ya good thang!!
November 14th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Will there be anyway to order the game WITHOUT going through PayPal’s website. It has had a history (some from the web, some from close friends) that makes me refuse to use them. I have been waiting for some time for this, but I won’t play it if the only way to get a couple is to go anywhere near PayPal.
November 14th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
oh for goodness sake
November 14th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
@Chance,
Actually I was one of those people that didn’t say they HATE Steam, I just can’t use it and have no use for it. Any day of the week I would much prefer to download a game straight from an Indie developers site rather than through Steam. For me the problem is that Steam is another resource that must be loaded in order to run any of the games that you purchase through Steam. It’s easy to bash any idea (either against Steam or bash the people that don’t like Steam) when I perhaps didn’t explain the situation properly or express myself properly (I thought I did though). There are Pros and Cons to Steam just like any service. I like the idea of it, unfortunately for me it does not work. I’ve tried getting 2 games through Steam and after all of the trouble I went through and the fact that Steam slowed down my PC when I wanted to play the indie games I purchased, I vowed that I wouldn’t use the service again and would only purchase straight from the developer (if possible - and if not then I’d have to luck out). I appreciate the fact that games are on Steam so that they get more exposure than they normally might, and I would hope that anyone who does like using Steam has no problems with it so that we can equally enjoy this game and focus on this thing that we as gamers have in common and that is a love for games. On the other hand I’ve had friends who have had the same problems with Steam and because none of us have a State-of-the-Art PC it doesn’t make sense that these indie games that do work fine when not being loaded through Steam tend to slow down or not work as well or crash when running through Steam. So it’s nothing against people who enjoy and do like Steam (you seem to get defensive about the service itself, when I don’t think people are attacking the users of Steam they’re just stating their opinion about the service, at least that’s all I’m doing - I’m not out to offend anyone). I probably would use Steam but I’m certainly not going to use something that doesn’t work for me or causes more problems (aren’t there enough hitches and glitches within the Windows OS itself!?!? I don’t need to add to the problems just because I want to play an interesting game). I think I’ve been pretty fair in stating why I don’t necessarily like Steam but without actually condemning the Steam service itself or putting a “Hate” on it because apparently there are many people who do like it and are able to use it without a problem, if this did come down to the sake of argument though, I’d have to say that there are a lot of people who are in the same boat that I am in and that have had problems with the service as well. I just think Audio Surf (as our example of a game exclusive to the service) would be one of those great little interesting games that I’d love to have because it looks and sounds like a great game from everything I’ve heard and seen, but I will do without it if I must. I’m certainly not going to buy a new PC just to get a single game to work or even to get the service to work. The way I see it is I’ve got dozens of other great indie games that I purchased straight from the developers site and they’ve all worked fine so I am content with what I’ve got. I just think it’s great when developers (indie developers in particular) try to reach the broadest possible audience without having to “Sell Out”, for lack of a better term. It’s a positive thing for all of us so please don’t take any of my comments (past or present) as a personal attack or anything like that.
So lets end this discussion about Steam (because that’s not what we’re really here for) instead, lets be happy that Petri is almost finished the game AND he’s doing his best to have it release and distributed through multiple outlets so that the majority of us can enjoy this wonderful looking game!
I really can’t say enough great things about this game (that I haven’t even played) and eagerly await it’s release! I’m also impressed (and pleased) to see that I’m not alone in my anxiousness!
November 14th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Hey Petri!
I’ve pre-ordered! Lots of respect for not having DRM, that’s more than awesome!
November 14th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
@Johhny Boy: I completely understand why you would prefer buying a game from the developed than from steam. What I don’t understand is why you wouldn’t get a great game just because you had to use steam to play it. Audiosurf is a basic game and it doesn’t run slow with steam on my computer, even though every other 3D game I try and play does.
@Randy: PayPal is the most accepted, trustworthy, and friendly type of online payment. It is almost always used by individuals like petri to make secure online payments.
November 15th, 2008 at 4:18 am
Now I’m confused, Crayon Deluxe != Zany Doodle? They look almost identical…
http://www.zanydoodle.com/
Sure I can get both but still…help me out please.
November 15th, 2008 at 4:26 am
Wow, another alternatives… (need $$ too…)
This one even support pressure sensitive tablets!
November 15th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Pre-ordered mine
November 15th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Those of you who preordered, have you already received the secret magic code?
I’m asking because I have preordered some days ago now, and still nothing in my mailbox…
Should I scream or something?
November 15th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
@Swoo: I got my code in about 30 seconds, so I would be a little worried. You may have put in your email wrong. Hopefully you have a PayPal receipt.
@CJ: That is just another copy of this game. I would buy this one because it is the original. (but they both have demos, so take your pick if you really want to)
November 16th, 2008 at 12:37 am
@Chance: Thanks for your concern and for you answer. It does not reassure me but at least I now know something is/went wrong.
And true, hopefully I have the PayPal receipt!
@Petri: I’ll see this problem with you by mail.
November 16th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
@chance:
Well I’m giving you my reason why I hate steam and paypal.
Steam: crappy updates, huge taxes, you buy a game at 19$ , the next day they offer it at 50% off, games which are way expensive (more then in stores), …
paypal: cause they CAN hold money with no explanation, freeze an account for no reason, take money out of the account without the owners knowledge. This happens quite often…. check google
November 16th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
Ok, pre-ordered
Hope you find time to make a version for Pandora. Im going to get that piece of hardware and I’d love to see games like this on it.
November 17th, 2008 at 1:47 am
@Peter:
1 Why are updates crappy? Don’t you want updates?
2 the taxes will be higher if you buy with PayPal
3 what’s wrong with games %50 off? that is a reason to like steam, they get you good deals!
4 steam sells at the same price (if not lower) than store retailer.
If you don’t like PayPal than offer an alternative that is better. There is none.
November 17th, 2008 at 4:38 am
I think he was trying to say the updates left more to be desired
November 17th, 2008 at 6:59 am
Well Petri, this is not just the first time I ever preordered something, but also the first time I ever paid for a download. I have always bought something at a store cause I like to have a physical copy, not just a receipt for something online. and I agree with no DRM (I have 3 games I can’t play anymore due to limited installs and activation.) So you got my $15, can’t wait to see how it will turn out.
November 17th, 2008 at 11:39 am
YES! … i’ve been waiting sooooooooooooooo long for this mate.
November 17th, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Just Preordered my one. As many others i hope you have the success with it you deserved.
Best regards from Germany
November 17th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
It waited.
Pre-Ordered!!
The mechanism that Level can be shared is hoped for.
When the child can do in the future, it does together.
November 17th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
[...] juego se puede ordenar via internet desde la página oficial de los desarrolladores del juego , además pueden ver más info en la web del juego. [...]
November 17th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
I’ll pre-order right now, I just hope I don’t have to wait another year to play it
But it sounds like it is almost done.
November 18th, 2008 at 1:17 am
I just found out about the pre-order thing a couple minutes ago. I’ve been waiting for so long for this game! I’m really excited, and I’m pre-ordering it as soon as I get my next paycheck.
Also, thank you very much for not putting DRM on it… Mighty nice of you, sir!
November 18th, 2008 at 5:20 am
@Peter:
Well I’m giving you my reason why I hate steam and paypal.
Steam: crappy updates, huge taxes, you buy a game at 19$ , the next day they offer it at 50% off, games which are way expensive (more then in stores), …
Crappy updates? They automatically offer the updates that the game developers release for the games, at the same time the developers release the updates, so you will always be up-to-date, also, this feature can be turned off (Right-click the game, Properties, Updates, Automatic Updates, “Do not keep this game updated”), If you do that then you get a text link next to the game in the window saying “Update available”, and it’s your choice to click it or not. This works for all steam games, but be aware that most online game servers update to the latest patch asap, so you may not be able to play online, but steam cant be blamed for that.
Huge Taxes? 17.5% is applied to your basket on purchase, but that is the same with everything you buy in developed countries. The only difference is that in England and most of Europe (I think) the tax is included in the stated price, and in America you pay the price + tax. Unfortunately, the exchange rate sucks at the moment so English gamers are paying more than normal, but blame the economy, not steam!
you buy a game at 19$, the next day they take 50% off? I don’t understand… are you saying that they shouldn’t have sales? They every game should be at a fixed price? Please explain further what you mean. The way that you have said it, it sounds like you often take your groceries back when the store does an offer the next day… and you don’t do that, do you?
games which are way more expensive? Most games on steam are the same price as the store-bought alternatives. Not anymore in the UK, but again, blame the economy. I’m from the UK, but I don’t mind paying a few extra pounds for a great game if I get to download it anytime I want. The only examples I can think of which seem overpriced are Bioshock and Call of Duty 4, but that is because the developers are not lowering the steam price, not because the nice guys at valve are trying to get as much money as possible.
I reformat my PC ~ once every 5/6 months, because that way it runs faster, and I dont feel like putting in a load of discs and installing all of my games, and so I tell steam to download the ones I want. Then I go watch a movie, or do anything else I want, and I come back, and voila! No time spent, fun at my fingertips. If only they could make a content distribution system like steam for applications instead of games, then a windows reinstall would take about 3 hours, but I would only have to be at my PC for 10 minutes~ of it.
When I buy a game on steam, I know that no matter what, my games are safe. I will never worry about scratching a disc, or misplacing one, or serial numbers, or crack form DRM-games, or any of that because all I need is my steam username and password, and I have access to most of my games, and some of the older one’s are getting released on steam now, so I may buy them again, for the convenience!
I’m not exactly a rich person, I run a house, a girlfriend (although I shouldn’t consider tat something I ‘run’ :P) support a car, do a full time university course and hold down a job, too, and when it comes to buying games, i’m not exactly frivolous, but I like to know that my purchase is safe, secure and nobody can take it from me.
If your PC can’t run steam, then I gotta say, it sucks to be you, because steam is the greatest revolution in PC gaming history, and If you arn’t using it then you are really missing out on some fantastic technology.
Can I have my money now Mr. Newall?
Please stop this debate on steam here, because this is not the place. Petri has said that it WILL NOT be steam-exclusive, but it MAY come to steam, though it isn’t his decision. Stop arguing about steam. Stop it!
November 18th, 2008 at 5:27 am
Further to the above:
Thanks for your reply Petri, I should be able to afford to buy it before the end of November, and because you hinted of the possibility of a November release, I’ll endeavour to purchase it asap.
Vote for a steam version #1, again!
Please keep us updated on whether there will be a steam version or not, and If the codes will unlock the steam version, I’d hate to have to pay for it twice.
Also, note that I meant no ill of you when I posted the first time, I am simply an impatient gamer
Keep up the good work, you’ll see my money soon
November 18th, 2008 at 11:21 am
!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hey, Ich habe wichtige Fragen:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Wie lange wird es ungefähr dauern, bis die Mail ankommt?
- Was ist so besonders an der Beta?
- Bekommt man die Beta kostenlos später wenn man das Spiel für 20$ kauft als bei der
Pre-Order?
- Wie spät ist es?
- Wenn die Mail nicht ankommt oder das Passwort falsch ist (Oder was sonst noch passieren kann), gibt es dann Geld zurück?
- Ich habe nur 995 Mhz. Würde Das Spiel trotzdem laufen? (Wenn es langsamer wird ist mir egal)
- Bekommt man das Spiel auch nach Deutschland?
- Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob ich pre-ordern soll. Also warte ich 4 Monate auf User- Berichte
oder Beschwerden da es mir zu gefährlich ist ob das auch wirklich keine Abzocke ist.
Bekommt dann noch das Spiel?
Auf jeden Fall schönen Gruß von Deutschland und es war nicht böse gemeint mit der Abzocke. Ich bin nur vorsichtig…
November 18th, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Why is the discussion about Steam still going on??? Let it rest now.
Hoorah! Crayon Physics Deluxe is almost done! CPD - FTW!!!
November 19th, 2008 at 1:01 am
will this be a zipped folder or a big fat file?
November 19th, 2008 at 10:07 am
@NoName,
Let me translate your questions and provide answers I know.
- Wie lange wird es ungefähr dauern, bis die Mail ankommt?
Q: When do you the email after pre-ordering the game?
A: I got it 30 seconds after paying with Paypal. If you did not get an email with a download code after a couple of hours check your spam-filter or contact support@crayonphysics.com.
- Was ist so besonders an der Beta?
Q: What is so special about the Beta release?
A: People have been waiting for quite some time to actually play the full game. To release a Beta helps getting the bugs out (providing valuable feedback) and keeps the waiting people happy!
- Bekommt man die Beta kostenlos später wenn man das Spiel für 20$ kauft als bei der
Pre-Order?
Q: Do you get the Beta later when you buy the game for 20 dollar instead of the Pre-order?
A: When you pay 20 dollars it is because you buy the full game (no need for a beta).
- Wie spät ist es?
Q: what did you call my mother?!
A: “insert curse word here”
- Wenn die Mail nicht ankommt oder das Passwort falsch ist (Oder was sonst noch passieren kann), gibt es dann Geld zurück?
Q: When the download code does not arrive or it does not work (or something similar) will you get a refund?
A: Petri will probably do the best to provide you with a correct code any wich way he can. Otherwise you may get a refund trough the provided emailaddress above (correct me if I’m wrong here Petri).
- Ich habe nur 995 Mhz. Würde Das Spiel trotzdem laufen? (Wenn es langsamer wird ist mir egal)
Q: I own a 995 Mhz computer. Will the full game work on my system?
A: I suspect that when you can play the Demo, you can play the full game (XP or vista).
- Bekommt man das Spiel auch nach Deutschland?
Q: Is the game coming to Germany?
A: If you have internet, you can download it anywhere from the globe. You probably have to import a hardcopy from other countries.
- Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob ich pre-ordern soll. Also warte ich 4 Monate auf User- Berichte
oder Beschwerden da es mir zu gefährlich ist ob das auch wirklich keine Abzocke ist.
Bekommt dann noch das Spiel?
Q: I’m not sure I want to pre-order. I rather want to wait for complaints or good feedback because I want to know if it is worth the money…
A: Personally I think even the demo’s are worth my 15 dollars! It is up to you to decide when you want to buy the game though. Im very VERY sure this game will not be a rip-off.
Auf jeden Fall schönen Gruß von Deutschland und es war nicht böse gemeint mit der Abzocke. Ich bin nur vorsichtig…
Kind regards from Germany, I’m just being careful…
November 19th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
@Andy: yeah well you could be right about the updates.
But seriously I’ve had twice the problem that I bought a game and the next week it got a 50% sale. Instead of letting people now when games will be lowered in price. And believe me the taxes + prices are way more than than the prices in stores here in belgium.
Some games are even 2 times to even 3 times teh price. Like you said also COD4.
November 19th, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Then buy those one or two games that cost more from a store. I still don’t see how having a sale is bad. If GameStop has a sale the day after you bought a game, would you get mad? I just like knowing that once I buy a game, I will own it forever. I don’t have to save a disk. I can play the game on any computer I own. I can easily download a game again. I like being assured that I will always be able to play a game when I buy it.
Plus Steam saves me gas money
November 19th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Until the day the Steam servers go down and/or are taken offline. But let’s just keep pretending that’ll never happen, eh? Anyway, I hope more game developers take their cue from CPD and World of Goo, at least as far as DRM is concerned.
November 20th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
I played world of goo on a friends computer to the finish. I don’t tend to go back and play a game anymore once i have finished it, and see no reason to have the game on my pc since I have finished it. But on general principal I will buy a copy from this site simply because I enjoyed everything about this game from start to finish, and because I want to support the creativity and talent of the developers. They did a fantastic job, and I am inspired by their vision and their courage to persue their dreams above all.
Great job, great game, and good for you for making your dream a reality.
Johnny Faber
November 20th, 2008 at 9:03 pm
I hope to see the same thing happen with this game as world of goo, and Can’t wait to play it.
November 20th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
did you say “developers”? hmmm…. that is quite a compliment.
November 20th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
I’ll take your word for it that CPD will not become a Steam-exclusive title and preorder over the weekend.
By the way, I would have expected a lot of whining in the comments that it will not be freeware, glad to see there is none at all
Will there be some kind of “sandbox-mode”, where you can just draw what you like an see it work? Or does the Editor somehow give this possability?
November 21st, 2008 at 12:30 am
Oh my god, can I please play this already!
November 21st, 2008 at 11:38 am
What is going on with “Touch Physics” on the iPhone?
http://www.gamez4touch.com
I hope you had a hand / stake in this Peri; it is a complete copy of Crayon Physics in almost *every* detail.
November 21st, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Yes tree is a CP copy for the iPhone. There isn’t really anything that can be done about it, becuase the game has onlybeen released in the jailbroken version and has never been in the app store.
November 21st, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Skip the “I’ll preorder over the weekend” part in my comment, I did so last night as soon as I remembered my Paypal Password
So where is my download-link? Where is the demo? Why isn’t it finished yet? When is the release-date? huh? HUH??
- just kidding
BTW if you’re planning on translations, you can contact me for the the german part, as long as you don’t expect me to do it over night.

“There won’t be any kind of DRM, because I’ve found that it only hurts the real customers (e.g. I’m an owner of Space Rangers 2, which I can’t play because the DRM is incompatible with my computer). And no DRM will stop people from pirating your game.”
Pre Ordered.
November 24th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
@Chance: Touch Physics is now in the Apple app store for 59 pence (sterling). They are definitely making money from Petri’s ideas.
Got to be worth an email to games4touch and Apple, especially if Petri has intellectual property rights.
November 24th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
well, 6 days to the supposed release date:D
“Yes you will get the game for $14.95 on November 30th as well, unless the game will be released before that :)”
November 24th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
@Tayron: I’m sorry but you’re wrong… Let me re-contextualise your quote:
Petri just answered someone who asked if he could get the game for $14,95 instead of $20 even if he pre-ordered it on November 30th. That person asked this question because he had read that Petri would end the pre-ordering discount after the end of November. The aim of that guy’s question was then to be sure that pre-ordering the game on the 30th would be still ok or if it would be too late for the discount.
In short, Petri never said the game was due to be released on November 30th. In fact, there’s no official release date whatsoever.
Sorry.
November 24th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
@Trayron: There is no release date. It certainly will not be in 6 days, before there has even been a beta.
@Rupert Rawnsley: Your right. I don’t know if petri actually has rights to the CP concept (like an international patent) so Im not sure that much can be done.
November 24th, 2008 at 10:28 pm
@chance
bbb ut but how can they steal his ideas legaly??? how? i do nt get it:( o h n o ! ! ! ! I thought he culd do something about it:( should we constantly spam the people who stole the idea??? should we??? i want to. or we could ping them repeatedly, slowing down their computer. or is that illiegal? if its illegal than i geuss the awnser would have to be no.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
@madaco: you can do whatever you want to them, I don’t care. I would suggest writing a review of the iphone App and mention that it is a copy. You could also try to contact apple, but they probably wont care. If you want to spam them go ahead, but I would say keep it legal.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:00 am
i was asking if repeated pinging was legal, i wasnt going to do it if it was illigal, and i probably wouldent anyway, however i might spam the people who copied it, i will not and was not planing on doing anything illeagle
November 25th, 2008 at 1:04 am
does this work? do i have to include a name? waid do you reply to this? im confused.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:05 am
not nearly as confused as i am.if the extent of your comment was to be on the website then i guess it did work.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:59 am
@I think he’s talking about the Paypal registration, not how to post a comment. ; -)
November 25th, 2008 at 2:37 pm
@ Chance
@ Madaco
I think nothing can be done. He released his video into public and others saw a commercial idea in it. Nothing wrong with it, legally speaking.
November 25th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
And with “He” I obviously mean Petri. Remember that his video is already over a year old, so the gamez4touch guys had around a year of development time + they didn’t have to look for a look ‘n feel and such.
That’s the drawback of coming into public with your novelties. I work at a university and it is scaring to see how published papers are transformed into commercially ideas by people that have nothing to do with the university just to make money from it.They try to patent it as their idea and presto! Money money money.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
awww he cant do anything abount it.
can i still spam the copiers with fake adds???
November 25th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
by the way ___ is me i just changed the name, i was quoting a magazine submission, see how the link is the same.

preordered yesterday
I can help with the translation to Czech and Slovak.
good luck !
November 25th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
Your philosophy of no DRM has convinced me to buy this game.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:05 am
It will not be released tommarow. There has not been a beta yet.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:05 am
Sorry petri I wrote in your name by accident so ibthought it would go to u not for my name
November 26th, 2008 at 2:07 am
It’s not going tommorw
I made a mistake by writing his name for mine

Hi Petri! Please consider Wii version, and especially Wiiware version. This kind of games are the hottest shit in Wii right now, just look at the succes of World of Goo. Crayon Deluxe has just right universal appeal that would suit Wii perfectly, and I think this would outperform even the Goo. With level sharing with friends, this game would print money. I’m your long time fan, and I’d like to see another finnish developer make world wide splash. Would it be possible to use a DS-link with this game for perhaps a palette or design tool…
November 27th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
your gonna be dam RICH!!!!!!!!!!!!11
November 27th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
@WiiWaari: I actually think that iPhone SDK is the most promising market for game developing. It requires no risk, just upload your game to Apples online store and make money. It may be a hassle for Petri to publish games on WiiWare/Xbox Live Arcade because he lives in Finland.
In my opinion: Mac first, then iPhone, than WiiWare/Xbox Live Arcade.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:02 pm
Well, Wii has superb interface(especially if you connect it with a DS, but Wiimote alone is mighty good too), WiiWare is a very very healthy platform for this kind of games. Millions of customers out there, and just for games. You know, the risks are minimal with WiiWare too…So if I were investor, I’d vote for WiiWare. This game is tempting not only for single player, but it also has unique charm, luring for families, that are a speciality of Wii. XBox live might not be as promising platform, for the interface. And I’m thinking that this game would continue to sell forever. When parents all over the world sees their naighbours kids playing creative crayon game, they just have to get it for their kids too, instead some violent massacre game.
November 27th, 2008 at 11:50 pm
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 28th, 2008 at 3:04 am
What do you mean interface? Wii doesn’t have any beter interface than Xbox or PS3.

Another vote for a Mac OS X version.

Hell yeh!
Been waiting patiently for this, can’t wait now!, even for the beta (anything to help out!)
Keep it going dude.
November 28th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
@Chance. I mean WiiMote. 100% of Wii owners have controller, that you can draw with. You can put mouse into any usb hole there is, but you don’t want to break your customerbase into tiny fragment.
November 28th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Just stumped up for this.
Loved the first game, have to say not in favour of this “Steam” thing as never heard of it before and would have been put off buying the game if I had had to download something else first and subscribe just to get it!
Patiently waiting the release now…….tick, tock, tick, tock…..

@WiiWaari,
I’d love to see this on the Wii through WiiWare as well!!! The Wiimote would be a the perfect item for “interfacing with the game” as opposed to using a crummy controller (Xbox360) and, if you think about it, this could also be made for the PS3 considering you can plug any USB Mouse into the PS3 as well.
Poor Xbox 360….
Crayon Physics Deluxe on Wii and PS3!!! YEAH!!!!
November 29th, 2008 at 12:48 am
@Gidin: Il y pense et plusieurs personnes se sont proposées pour faire des traductions mais rien de concret pour le moment. De plus, ce sera sans doute davantage des patchs (=addiciels) linguistiques que dès le départ un jeu plurilingue.
@the others: This guy was just asking (in French) if Petri intended to do a multi-lingual game. And I told him that yes, Petri was considering this idea and that some people already said they were ready to help him translating but that nothing had been decided yet.
November 29th, 2008 at 1:39 am
1337!!!
November 29th, 2008 at 4:24 am
Already pre-ordered and waiting for a full version of the game.
PS: from Russia with love.
November 29th, 2008 at 6:18 am
I find the wiimote to be the least easy to use out of all the controllers. Wii would be painfully hard to draw with. Xbox and ps3 would be equal.
November 29th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
No Chance! Thats the same as if I said something like: “I actually like Wiis graphics better”. XD If Wii can do something right, its drawing and aiming.
November 29th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
Easiest way would be to include a separate xml file with all the lines written that could be translated by anyone. I’d wove to se an Elmew Fudd version.
November 30th, 2008 at 2:42 am
Trying to draw on a Wii would be excessively frustrating. You have to move the entire controller and point it at the screen. The whole system is too sensitive for drawing and aiming, and is not at all practicle for a game like CP. With a PS3 or Xbox controller you could use the joystick to draw. This can also be done on a Wii, so how would WiiWare be better. Xbox Marketplace is a very very healthy platform for this kind of games. Millions more customers are out there.
November 30th, 2008 at 7:51 am
well if nintendo allowed i think it would be great for the Nintento DSi! it would be great! nintendo would get tons of news for the nintendo DSi and petri would get tons of news for crayon phisics delux!. the dsi will have a internet browser with DSiWare where one could download it. there you go, actual drawing instead of a joystick, yet accurate! you could also share your levels with sd cards!
please note that i intirely dought that this will ever happen, so dont get to exited. it probably wont happen.it would be great though!
November 30th, 2008 at 11:38 am
I just pre-ordered the game …. and i must say “just in time”
I’ve never played crayon physics, but i want to trust this indie game developer. I must say that the preview video was absolutely amazing!
I loved that music
Have a nice day … i’ll wait for the mail “the game is done!” without harrassing you
Bye bye

November 30th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
@frostland: Damn! I was going for that. So close
@madaco: The DSi would definitely work better than the Wii, and is probably the better choice. There is already a game called Pocket Physics (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2007/12/24/pocket-physics-brings-a-taste-of-crayon-physics-to-the-ds/) for DS, but it is actually quite different from CPD. Also I believe the DS has a tilt sensitive accelerometer, that would also add to the game (for gravity).
November 30th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
OH MY GAWD!!!! Fat snowflakes are falling all around my window. Lots of them too. I was thinking… Wouldn’t that make a good level 4 CPD!?!?
November 30th, 2008 at 7:28 pm

i cant find anything on google about rocket phisics and nintendo ds. and that article goes to http://www.dsfanboy.com
am i doing something wrong?
November 30th, 2008 at 10:25 pm
I suggested WiiWare because of the price. In Finland DS games cost 40-50€, WiiWare games cost 5-20€. So even when touchscreen is obviously the perfect interface, the WiiMote is second best with a mouse. WiiMote is perhaps more suitable for livingroom, and ofcourse it allows multiplayer that mouse cannot offer. WiiMotes drawing abilities are sadly not well known(add to this the usual gamers vain hostility towards to it, that hinders their evaluation and even prevents them from seeing anything positive on it). Before the motion+ add-on arrives, the IR-aiming is the Wiis REAL killer application, and it is currently shamefully underused feature. It brings the once computer exclusive game types to livingroom. Drawing with WiiMote is very much like drawing with a mouse. Mouse is a bit more steady, but WiiMote is more versatile, as Wii recognises Wiimotes tilt and distance from screen. These abilities makes doodling a bit more steamlined as, for example, you control the size of your pen or eraser with forward-back axis. Try it “multiplayer” in Wii’s Photo Channel. The Photo Channel is kind of Wii’s paintbrush, and it has been very succesful in our household with younger and older children, as well as adults. It is even possible to do light photoediting with it(for entertainment purposes), like cutting a person in a photo and pasteing him/her into somewhere else, resized if needed.
WiiWare is also healthy and low risk platform for indie developers(for me the most exciting source for games), its very popular, and its audience diggs these kinds of games. I’d pay 2000 Wiipoints(20€(OR anything really)) for this in a split second. Petri, please try drawing with WiiMote for a minute, it shouldn’t take much longer than that to get used to it, even after decades of mouse usage.

Hi Petri! I’m your biggest fan, and I’m already holding my breath for this. Hopefully it wont take too long anymore.
Hmm…WiiWaari I think Wii might be feasible console for this game too…could it be possible to make heavier objects with bigger pencil? And the DS-connectivity definitely sounds intriguing, but wouldn’t it be a bit too much of a hassle? I like the idea of Wiiwares low risk/cost combined with ds’s touchscreen though.
BTW Chance! That was not a “console war”-comment, it was you, who was trying to initiate the war in the first place. I think WiiWaari was playing it nice
December 1st, 2008 at 10:37 pm
I wouldn’t initiate a console war, as I do not own any gaming devices besides the PC.
All I am saying is that people who have a Mac are going to say it is best to make the game on a Mac. People with a Wii think it would work best on a Wii. People who own a DS will want it on the DS. If people have an Xbox, they will say that Crayon Physics Deluxe will work best on an Xbox. You c
