Here's my We Are The Dwarves review, if you're interested in having a goosey at the little gem.

 

[Toma]

Quick heads up, Superhot gives me bad motion sickness.

Didnt have that in a long time.

Here's my We Are The Dwarves review, if you're interested in having a goosey at the little gem.

Excellent! But I never expected anything less. Another to the wish list.

 

[Toma]

I just recently went through older books and discovered my ... 14 year old stamp collection:

I started sorting it with my older me sorting guidelines and started looking through an old bag of stamps that I never sorted... good hobby.

Speaking of which, where is my Stamp collecting simulator?

That's actually a good idea.

 

[Phawx]

In case you guys aren't aware, you can do the SuperHOT for $10 via Nuuvem. Only need a VPN to add to your cart apparently.

Additionally, anyone that had a license for factorio through the website, they now have a steam key redemption button when you log in.

 

[Wok]

That's actually a good idea.

It is a bit the idea behind Steam badges.

 

[Moobabe]

That's actually a good idea.

We're one step away from the Star Wars pog collectible game.

Which I would totally buy.

True, but I mean actual stamps. I was thinking about the concept some more before going to bed yesterday.

You could even make it part collectible stamp game, which packs to buy and rare chances for rare stamps to drop. I can get rarity percentages from print run numbers. The best "non-intrusive" idea I came up with was a messenger service that lets you "buy" and collect stamps, and then send postcards to other messenger users, with stamp placement of your choice. They can then keep the stamps and the stamp collection doubles as a cute incentive to contact other people worldwide.

Really like the idea, the best way to use it would probably be on mobile.

Also: the biggest difficulty would probably to get the permission to use the official stamps for such a project as they are copyrighted material. Maaaaybe one could get through explaining it as this:

Philatelic Advertising Use
Use in advertising matter, circulars, or price lists to illustrate the postage stamps being sold or the postage stamps in the philatelic items being sold.

Yes, I was thinking about this last night while going to bed.

I didnt play particularly much, was sunk kneedeep in other stuff. Hope someone else played something so we got at least a voting list

 

[Wok]

I only played The Witness and it was well worth the $40. The game is mind blowing and sets a new standard for walking games.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Stardew Valley is very good!

We pressed the big green button for Fragmental this morning and it's now available to buy on Steam Early Access.

We also went all topical and did this.

Haha, love the ad.

 

[More_Badass]

Hey, guys, don't forgot to vote if you played anything from this month's OT

 

[Wok]

I am biased because I only played The Witness.

1. The Witness

 

[One Foul Note]

I played a little, but not too much

1 Darkmaus
2 The Witness
3 The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human
4 Crashlands

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

I only played The Witness, out of everything listed as released or soon-to-be-released. Other notable inclusions would be Firewatch and Devil Daggers, but I assume those would be available in next month's thread. So, I guess this is my voting list:

1. The Witness

 

[More_Badass]

According to SteamSpy, SuperHOT has 79,726 ± 6,555 owners after four days

That's almost SOMA numbers, which sold ~92,000 in ten days.
The Witness sold 100,000+ in a week, across both platforms

Now that's impressive for a debut indie game

 

[Nomadic Sparks]

I'm more interested in Slain!

I wishlisted Blood Alloy because I would love to hear what the dude did after the KS failed miserably and it looks rather cool.

How is Stardew Valley doing?

Still rank 3 top sellers. It should be doing amazingly well.

[managore]

Going to have to follow suit. My favourite game in a long time.

1. The Witness

 

[Moobabe]

I'm gonna try and play a couple of the free ones tonight for a bit then post a list.

 

[More_Badass]

Just backed Need To Know. Hadn't really been paying much attention to it, till I noticed it was 370% funded.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/monomythgames/need-to-know-the-mass-surveillance-thriller-game

Kind of like a modern-day Papers Please, you work for an intelligence agency, analyzing potential threats, gathering and verifying info, being faced with moral choices or even choosing to leak stuff or use information for your own gain

It's reached every single one of its stretch goals, and has 9 days left

 

[Wok]

I have found this Star Citizen look-a-like indie game:
http://www.dualthegame.com/thegame

No idea what it would be worth.

 

[More_Badass]

Has anyone here heard of/played HyperRogue? Just learned about it and it sounds really interesting
