Quoting: TheSHEEEPDoing great, entering the fourth dungeon already, ready to explore? An enemy spawns that is just vastly overpowered for the region you spawn in. It just one-shots you.

I had that problem in ToME too. The worst it got was when they dropped a level 20 troll into the intro dungeon, designed for level 1-3 or so. Even if I got away from it, I was prevented from progressing further and would have been unprepared for the next dungeon anyway. But lesser versions of that happened with distressing regularity.

As the video says, it's also available on Itch.io [External Link], and it's on sale there as well for 50% off. Although for some reason the store page on my client doesn't say that.

Quoting: KelsWhy not have statistics for how many people have a game on their wishlist, per-platform. That at least gives likely a stronger picture of demand than how many people add their name to a Steam discussion that's already 10 pages but somehow still not enough.

That would mean I'd have to put games on my wishlist I don't actually wish for unless they get ported...

I already do that, and I've had others tell me they also put stuff on their wishlist that they "wish" would be available, or are waiting to come out of EA, as a way to keep an eye on them. So it's not unheard of behaviour.

Quoting: ArdjeIt would be nice if there was a kind of escrow service on steam.
Something like kickstarter:
You can buy the game, the money stays at steam, until there is enough incentive for the developer to act on it. The developer then builds and delivers, and the money is now delivered to the developer.
Or better:
You have money in your steam wallet, with which you can pledge with a 2 or 3 fold over commit.
If the developer decides there is enough pledged, the pledges turn into a commit.
Which means the money in your wallet is reserved and not spendable.
If the developer after that time have a working version, they can pass on the money.
I hate all these fake promises.
But then again, that system will probably going to be abused somehow.

Can't see a lot of users getting on board with that, honestly.

But how's this idea? Steam's gotta have some way to know what platform your client is on. Why not have statistics for how many people have a game on their wishlist, per-platform. That at least gives likely a stronger picture of demand than how many people add their name to a Steam discussion that's already 10 pages but somehow still not enough.

Counting Steam thread numbers as a 1:1 indicator of demand is nonsense at best. It's well known that for every person to come forward with a request like that, there are many others who want the product but don't post there for whatever reason. Maybe they don't think it'll do any good. Maybe they don't read Steam forums at all. Maybe they're shy. Whatever, the majority of interested parties will never post in a "Linux port?" thread.

This just sounds like the dev looking for an excuse not to make a port without actually saying that.

Tempted to get that low tier of the Jumbo Bundle just for Epistory, although I hear Oddworld is pretty good. Don't really know anything about that, but I tried the Epistory demo and liked it so I know that's worth it on its own.

Quoting: KelsDo you have to have the games installed for it to pick them up? I own Hand of Fate on Steam, but it says "not found in Steam library".

Next to "No eligible games found" is a button labeled "refresh". Try hitting it. I wasn't getting TWD: Michionne to connect, and refreshing resolved it.

That did the trick, thanks.

You just have to own them and you need to set you Steam profile to "public". Also, you need of course to connect your GOG and Steam accounts for it to work.

All of which I've done, and there were three other games that did transfer.

A couple of those weren't installed either, so I have no idea why it won't recognize that one game.

Quoting: KelsOh, I missed that part. Personally, I'd rather have the choice between campaign and sandbox, given the choice.

So, given the choice, you'd like to be given the choice?

Yes, that would be choice.
