    A lot of times, they **are**, in a literal sense. Private collectors will keep prototypes, dev builds, etc to themselves to preserve their value when they eventually sell them. It’s scummy.

    Seeing the typing-like movement hurt me, I was forced to use these a lot in my first year of my IT college course. They literally forced us to make a video game with those twice, the worst part was that the second time it was a game engine developed in house. that was seriously the best they could come up with when it comes to input handling for a video game. I had to implement a workaround twice.

    I mad a Pong clone in windows forms and I do remember I had the same problem with the up and down arrows and that I was able to fix it very easily. I don’t exactly remember the code, but something like storing the current state of the up and down arrow keys in a variable on top of the game loop and using that variable for all input calls. This way the value cannot change in between if statements and somehow it also fixed the choppy movement. I might still have the code, will post if someone is interested (and if I do find it)

    I remember watching the second part of your lego island decomp, saw footage from on eof the beta versions on your video, and tried to download it. The same person who made the prealpha video had also made another video, and it was a diffrent version and they actually provided a link. It sucks people keep lost media only to themselves, only leaving a couple of minutes of footage, or even just a few screenshots.

If it's the Omni demo then that's definitely already public
