Damn, if only he was looking for middling programmers, I'd be set!
Haha, yeah. I thought the same

I'll also probably include an at least 3 games rule to avoid drive by posts from people who didnt try other games. Sucks for the ones tat tried more, but only like one, but it feels a bit needed.
played 2x0ng and boredom so far. got massive slowdowns in both. weird given their minimalistic styles. not sure which to try out next.
Actually, I would ask for the whole 5 games minimum; it's not that much to ask, I think. If one hasn't had time to find 5 games they like, how are they qualified to throw their vote alongside people that have tried most of the 42? Your vote ends up "games I tried/looked cool in pictures", not "games I liked/are actually good".
Btw, started playing FEZ a while ago. And Phil Fish might be the biggest prick in the universe, but this game is disarmingly enchanting and utterly genius. The design is top notch, mechanics work well and the thought that went into creating the puzzles is kinda insane.
Braid was simpler and level based, so its kinda hard to compare and I havent played through it yet, but this could very well be the best puzzle platforming game created so far. Kinda considering to stop playing now to play it on Vita later.
Yeah, 5-7 maybe for this month would be decent too I guess. Problem is that I have difficulties (see last thread) finding voters as is. Making that barrier even higher is not doing me many favours I think, thats why I'll probably try too see how 3 minimum works out for the current month. But hey all of you others, I'd love more input on this. Any other opinions?
Well, then. I might gif the whole thread:

I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. My Laptop died, and the only PC I have access to is ancient
Any good LP's or similar videos featuring some of these games?
It is an amazing tool.
It's pretty funny how GifCam has popped up in pretty much all the threads I'm a regular of, even if they're entirely unrelated. This is the first time I've seen anything cut across several GAF communities like this. Revolutionary indeed.
(yes, I've made one already for the GW2 thread and I also thought that this might help the Indie thread IMMENSELY if someone with lots of time is willing to take gifs of most games).
Game gets insanely difficult at higher levels. 3 castles are impossible to defend even with nuclear blast dragon breath
Excuse the poor current game score, I fucked up getting the screenshot after my actual high score round.
The only thing I am missing is a setting to use a higher framerate. Kinda weird they didnt think of that.
Can GIFs be any higher framerate than that?
There are a couple of things that could be added, like being able to preview the gif in the "edit" window, or to be able to undo editions.
Game Dev Tycoon - Business sim where you go from developing games alone in your garage to owning a studio with many employees.
It's a clone of the iPhone game "Game Dev Story," but I like it. Clean interface, good time waster.
We had a discussion on this game in the thread about it. Would you say its a shameless rip off/clone? How would you compare it to GDS?
Random other question. If you were to score Indies in this thread, would you prefer a Like/Dont Care/Dislike scale or 1-10 points?
A 3-point or 5-point scale would be best.
It might be more beneficial to file it down to like/don't care/dislike like you say for such an in depth thread here, but I also feel there are times where I'll dislike a game but understand the technical/experimental/visionary achievements of it. In that case, I feel like my stance on a game would better work on a 5-point scale if I had to boil down my thoughts to a number.
As far as I am aware, yes.Isnt a 3 point scale basically like/dont care/dislike?
Random other question. If you were to score Indies in this thread, would you prefer a Like/Dont Care/Dislike scale or 1-10 points?
Technically? Sure they can. Just compare these two:
A preview would be handy too indeed. But you can work around those shortcomings. However, you'll still be stuck with the lower framerate.
The dev behind 2x0ng popped in to our irc randomly and asked if I could post that the frame rate issues have been resolved in an update:

Yeah he's signed up. Waiting for mod approval and all that. Kinda funny, he just popped into the PersonaGAF IRC of all places after a search online! :'DRad! is he signed up for Gaf and waiting for a username?
Nice. Gonna try it again once I'm at my computer.The dev behind 2x0ng popped in to our irc randomly and asked if I could post that the frame rate issues have been resolved in an update:

Well, well. I hope I manage to get somewhere with this.
The information fields on the right side arent yet functional, but the integration of the txt file database works, can be sorted by platform and the program can download the screenshots if wanted.
On a different note, I'd need someone to help me out tagging the released games from the Indie threads so far and put it in a txt file in this format: Name[$]Price[$]Platform1[;]Platform2[$]Game link[$]Screenshot Link[$]Genre
For example:
For that you'd basically only need to copy and format information from the OP's and check for the genre classifications based on this list: http://www.mobygames.com/glossary/genres + an added genre "Notgames". If anyone wants to do it, feel free to ask me via PM if something is unclear.Code:7 Grand Steps[$]$15[$]PC[;]Mac[;]Linux[$]http://p10.hostingprod.com/@mousechief.com/7GS/Beta_Sale.html[$]Simulation 18 Cadence[$]Free Version[$]PC[;]iPad[$]http://18cadence.textories.com/home.html[$]Simulation 2x0ng[$]Free Version[$]PC[;]Mac[;]Linux[$]http://blocky.io/2x0ng.html[$]Action Assembling the Void[$]Free Demo[$]PC[;]iPad[$]http://rpgmaker.net/games/4502/[$]RPG Boredom[$]Free Version[$]PC[$]http://www.desura.com/games/boredom[$]Action
Anyone feeling bored? Cant guarantee it'll turn out useful in the end, but I'll try my worst
what's the goal, to give everyone a tool to use, or to screen scrape the thread to build a review/Impression DB?
Originally, it was meant to judge review websites based on your own scores and tell you which aligns best with your understanding of votes. I almost finished that, but there is a bit work left to do that I didnt feel like tackling yet.
I used that structure and wanted to make a database with the Indies (maybe all games later on) to check out and get recommendations for. Collecting the ratings from other users via scraping a dedicated GAF thread (the Indie threads for now), comparing them to your own and suggest a game that you might not have played yet that others with the same taste as you seemed to enjoy (and offering some short impressions by those users for that game). This requires everyone to update a single post with their own information later on which I could distribute weekly or something (so that not everyone is scraping GAF the whole day). That could be the make or break point for the game I guess if no one ends up using it, but I wanted to test such a system anyway, so this is as good a reason as any.
There are a few more ideas, but thats the basic idea I guess.
Useful tool. Thanks to similar idea - movie website filmweb.pl - I found a lot of great movies I've never heard before. It presents you with recommendations based on the grades given by other users and shows you the most compatible ones, so you can meet people with similar tastes to yours. But it would be better, if we could create individual accounts and rate them directly in app. I'm not a programmer, so I have no idea if this is possible, lol.
Today I'm too tired, but I could help you with the list some other day, if no one wants to do it.
will try again, but a bit skeptical since my ass pc couldn't even make it past lvl3.The dev behind 2x0ng popped in to our irc randomly and asked if I could post that the frame rate issues have been resolved in an update:

Best idea would probably be a website that works the way I want it to But I am not a web programmer, and using the forum at least has the advantage of not needing to worry about accounts since everyone(most at least) only has 1 GAF account so games cant really be unreasonably pushed.
Ohh it has been baroughten.
Deos anyone know how to reliably pick up merchants? I took a merchant back to my palace and I got a fireball shield. I can't figure out how to do it again though
Could be a useful little app, but it might be hard to run centrally? Unless you had a downloadable database hosted somewhere that was updated and would be downloaded by the app on a regular basis. Also more than willing to help with the program itself if you'd like (as time allows).
Seems like a reasonably easy format though, maybe I could write a script to pull the info out of the threads? Or even pull the info out of a copy/paste of the post... possibly.
Third time I'm downloading it.
That's the point - I haven't even unpacked it
