indeed, yesterday they were traded for 38 to 39 cents. Is it worth to complete the cards?

If it's indie games, then at least you supported smaller devs with that money. That's something.

Optika cards are oddly valuable. It seems people really like the nebula backgrounds that drop.

I was hoping to put part one up on the blog today, but it looks like we've had some news that needs to go up today, so it might have to wait until next Thursday,

So you couldn't travel and you missed on removed games. Double bad luck. Hobbies fighting each other... and cancelling out.

Gives me more time to compile a gigantic list of games that you lads and lasses should totally consider publishing on Steam :3
For that matter, when is the earliest we will hear about your current/latest project?
It's so weird, I feel like buying fewer games this year for some reason, even though I have more money thanks to my job, guess I'll just spend it on MMO game time then once I get everything I want. ¯_(ツ_/¯
Feeling the same way. I bought a ton of games last year, and got a job in august. Since then I feel less inclined to buy everything that sparks my interest and focus more on what I want to play next. Maybe it has to be with me having less time to play haha

I like the implication that elves are no longer virtually invincible superbeings.
Such is my luck. ¯\_(ツ

I quite like that there is no restrictions on how achievements are done, but your above example sounds pretty terrible and over the top of they are obsurdly easy to achieve.
The binding of Isaac rebirth / Afterbirth / Afterbirth+ is a fantastic example. Tons more achievements compared to other platforms but they all make sense and challenge the play style of those playing.
On the other side of the coin is The Witness, with only 2 achievements as the developer intended as those are the most important things that he felt were genuine achievements, while much of the games content is an obfuscated mystery to discover and solve. Meanwhile other platforms have purposefully pointless achievements to suit the platform holders forced numbers

There's few games with tons of achievements. Recent trend is to sell cheap games with tons of achievements.

(seems like http://store.steampowered.com/app/575640/ will have 1700 achievements, making it "new king")
Can't help to think that most of development time went into making achievements
Pictopix is no Paint it Back, make no mistake, but it's not bad either, quite good actually, Paint it Back is superb, though, must play.
Do I want that game it's a crime to talk about?

For The Witness, I remember Jonathan saying that he did not want to have cheevos but that Sony forced him to, so he made two of them.
I believe Jonathan would have loved to do something like increpare did for SSR: no achievement, and an obfuscated description of the game as "a simple 3D puzzle game".
Did you like any other ImageEpoch games?
That's the best part about the games though! Especially when you're killin' 'em with styyllleee.

As Enzyme32 said, it's good that there are no restrictions on achievements, but those games are just silly. Just for funsies I challenged a friend of mine on who could get the most 100% games and achievements. I was in the lead until he started to play demo games for easy 100% and games like this to boost the numbers. Shameful.
I honestly don't know, too many games, I end up never finding time to actually play their games and I have some. I don't want to dismiss them out of hand, after all people hate IF, and their games are fun and for the most part good.

Cheap and way too many achievements, eww. It's just a cheap way to increase your unlocked achievements.
I posted a video on how to create an achievement for your game a few months ago. The creation process isn't one click, so creating tons of achievements is taking a lot of unnecessary development time

Not sure. Depends on when the contracts are all signed.
Not very helpful I know, but it's really out of our hands at the moment.

New Valve published game:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/575080/
I dont have a clue how that works. If I click on it, its really Valve...

The developer/publisher fields are user-defined. I'd guess there was a misunderstanding and the dev thought it appropriate to note Valve as the publisher since the game is being distributed on Valve's service.

No worries mate, wishing you and your team the best, I commend Ghostlight for their efforts on Steam and the PC scene in general

Don't you mean Knife of Dunwall? (1st Dishonored DLC) "Knives of Durnhal" doesn't seem to exist.

That really depends on the kind of achievement and what it is tracking. Achievements that rely on something as simple as the number of your level or the number of enemies killed are pretty simple. You can pretty much copy paste/automate much of the work.
http://steamcommunity.com/stats/575640/achievements
Looks like Zup 3 did it by having 7(!!) copies of each achievement lol.
So pointless.

Creating achievements in the game isn't that hard and takes no effort if only copy and pasting, but creating the actual achievement and adding icons and description in Steam: that takes a lot time
Found the video I posted some months ago
https://youtu.be/Pc74zptCNFM
It's nothing that can't be easily automated.

Other than an official Mother 3 localization, I have no idea or possibly care what titles they will announce because I feel like it's going to be one step forward three steps back for Nintendo.

No I definitely read that the PC version is as intended but Sony forced his hand to add more. The two achievements is all he felt were necessary, (he could have left none in the PC version if he wanted) . On PS4 there are more acheivements to conform to minimum spec of what sony defines for trophies. The PS4 version has the following achievements.
Who cares about Switch when we have GPD Win
I've seen that video before. Nothing in that video is particularly hard to automate, especially if your achievements rely on simple things like levels completed or enemies killed. I know almost nothing about programming and even I could pump out a crapload of terrible achievements easily
. The thing that takes the most time would be doing all the images for the icons, but you can pump out a bunch of crappy ones in a couple of days. Hell, I think Steam even allows you to use the same image for every achievement (at least I recall such a game)Naked Snake

Huh, no. I'm in Jordan. Which isn't that close to India/Pakistan... Now you're having me doubt what time the presentation starts
