It's the late problem with Humble Bundles. Even though they seem attractive they aren't because most people already have those games. I remember the time when Humble Indy Bundles were a thing. Premiering games on Linux. Before that I maybe bought one game every few years now I have a library of over 800 titles.

Is there a Steam store page to wishlist for later?

Quoting: g000h

Quoting: cprnThis game still resets the progress weekly (or bi-weekly, can't remember), right?

Once per month, and the wipe day was earlier today / yesterday.

Well, I got Rust for me and my brother living abroad so we could play for an hour or two biweekly when we skype... but I guess we wouldn't go far. :D

BTW I think Steam's IT team should have one person dedicated to packaging games like this as long as they are GPL/MIT/etc. licensed and donate the money back to the project (if they choose to release it as anything else than f2p, that is).

It would be great for:

• projects that get patches and new players sent upstream
  
• Valve PR
  
• Valve insights on what needs improvements to make it easier for indies
  
• obviously Steam users
  
• Steam Workshop as open source games are easily moddable
  
• Steam Direct as open project devs will be more keen to pay that $100

Actually...

Quoting: liamdawe@Liam

Can you reach to the project's rep (for both SuperTuxKart and The Dark Mode) and ask if they could release an official announcement about what's going on with Steam packaging? AFAIK there's no official one, just many "I think"s and "it seems"es spread by not affiliated people (guilty). It's not that I'm lazy but you obviously project more official feeling than (probably) any of us.

Old Greenlight links here [External Link] and here [External Link]. Relevant comments from this discussion below.

Quoting: rapakivthis game deserves to be on steam

Well, yes. It got greenlit back in 2017 (in record time) and developers were working on releasing it for some time. Idk if that work stopped but it seems so. It might have something to do with Greenlight getting retired before they released, maybe they need to pay the Steam Direct fee now? The common feeling is it's not coming.

Same story with SuperTuxKart.

Also, sorry for pinging you in this canny fashion. :whistle:

I was disappointed by "hacking" games enough to avoid them. The only good ones I found was the one with its own scripting language (I think it was abbreviated as DS but I don't remember the full name of the game) and Hacknet, still, both very lacking. The biggest sin you can commit when trying to give somebody a "hacking experience" is to make them use mouse all the time. It just hurts my `vim` user feelings.

It's a smart way of making extra fuzz around the game and probably (I'm just guessing here) really cheap one. Bravo on multiple levels!

Also, patron is a monthly thing and it's not clear if people get twice their monthly pledge or twice the amount they paid over the whole patron campaign (i.e. several months). Can somebody clear that out?

Going to check it out tonight. In about 4 hours. See you in space, Penguins.
