Executing Code Rad!

<span class="bold">SHENZHEN I/O</span>, a sandbox coding simulator where you build stuff from bits and bytes, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 10% launch discount!

The tools you'll need are all here: circuits, microchips, controllers, LCD screens, your brains - the works. Now it's time to assemble them! Build simple or more complicated programs and devices, read-up on your fellow SHENZHEN employees, or just kick back with some sweet, sweet Solitaire.

The 10% discount will last until March 9, 2PM UTC.

Thank you GOG for accepting to release interesting games like that. :)
Posted March 02, 2017
Took a long time to show up here...

Been waiting for this one. Why doesn't Zachtronics do day 1 releases here?

Also, given the apparent interest in the genre here (you do have quite a few programming games here by now), please consider again trying to get Mindrover: The Europa Project onto the store.

Looks interesting! Is it similar to TIS-100?

Impaler26: So this game is not "too niche" for GOG? Very funny! :D

And where is <span class="bold">SHENZHEN SOLITAIRE</span> ??
No need for that. The solitaire game is included in SHENZHEN I/O.
It only makes sense if you only want to play the solitaire game. ;)

IronArcturus: Looks interesting! Is it similar to TIS-100?
Yes. Bigger, shinier, same awesome developer.


edit, re: thread:

It's a game, people.

After Spacechem was released, Zach wrote a post somewhat regretting the theme: people were passing on the game because "ew chemistry, I can't chemistry". Now (Shenzhen, and TIS earlier) people go "ew programming, I can't programming".

It's a puzzle game and a toy that also happens to teach programming concepts, like pyramid toys teach about shape and size and roguelikes teach risk management and online shooters teach rhetorics. It's designed to be accessible and fun.

SirPrimalform: Nice!
This is also pretty amazing and it was included in a tiny corner of my mind, labelled "humm that would be cool to see on GOG" ;P
Damn you mind readers!

Believe it or not but there actually might be people who are only interested in that Solitaire game, especially since it only costs 2.99€. ;)

Cool to see Shenzhen I/O show up on GOG, instawishlisted.
Posted March 02, 2017
Another one I can scratch from my Humble wishlist and put it on my GOG wishlist! :)

Now, if only I could get around to complete Spacechem, TIS-100 and Infinifactory first...
Posted March 02, 2017
Glad to see this here! I enjoyed both Tis-100 and Spacechem, and I've had this on my radar as well.
It's a bit on the pricey side for me, so I'm not sure I can justify buying it right now... I need to ponder this for a bit...
Posted March 02, 2017
It's interesting that things like this exist. I'm not nearly super nerdy enough for it to appeal to me though. That solitaire game looks decent though; it seems to be a variant based on Freecell mechanics.
Posted March 02, 2017
Game looks fantastic, I loved TIS-100
Wishlisted for now as it is too pricey for me at present. I'm going to wait for at least a 30% off, then it will be instabuy.
