Nope. Just a judge.

That is cool. So you get to review ten games and discuss with other judges, right?
We're assigned ten games, then we can play whatever we'd like, with the expectation we'll contribute to the discussion or judging in some way. It is pretty cool but thankfully I think people put in a lot more work this year. There was some really thoughtful discussion surrounding a large portion of the games I judged, and I think this year I did a good thirty or forty.
Some multiplayer games on GOG require a unique CD-key to be able to play online. Here's how GOG distribute those keys to legit users (taken from the support page for NWN):
So, from what I can infer as an outsider, maybe you can just give a list of Steam keys to GOG and let their support team handle the distribution of said keys?
I don't know what their policy on distributing Steam keys through GOG though, since it never happened before with other games.
Aha I see what you mean. Unfortunately I do not think GOG will do this. We have already talked to them and as a policy they do not give out Steam keys.
And they obviously can't do it only for us because that would open the floodgates for everyone.
We are still working out the details but we are probably going to give all GOG users free copies of the full soundtrack to try and make up for this. not confirmed!
Do you know if it is possible to apply for this task of judging games for the next IGF? I usually happen to play quite a lot of the games, but only if they are available on the creators' website. I would like to give my opinion on them and be part of the process of selection.
Well, sure, I am just a hobbyist right now, so I might not sound interesting for this task.
Here is a fun stat:
In two weeks the Xbox 360 Arcadecraft trial has been downloaded more times than people have visited the Greenlight page in the last 131 days.
Giant Bomb Quicklook.
God damnit, just vote for it, please! I may never see Pinball Arcade on Steam, but at least there's maybe some kind of shot this will get on there, perhaps.
I'm not interested in buying a Pinball game and it feels wrong to lie, sorry bro.

Which reminds me, apparently the next batch gets announced on the 26th. If you haven't voted for Pinball Arcade, for the love of god, please shut me up and vote for it now!

God damn, why didn't I think of that earlier? It makes so much sense now.Same. Just go to a pizza parlor or something if you want it that bad.
Certainly have. Paid up and playing the shit out of the beta _bHave you heard of Project CARS?
<3I voted yes on both the games, just to shut you up
This is why there needs to be another button or something, like "I wouldn't buy this myself because I don't like the games Stallion Free likes, but this looks like a game of high quality and I like the idea of it being on Steam so I wish to vote for it anyway".I'm not interested in buying a Pinball game and it feels wrong to lie, sorry bro.
I give myself more leeway so to me it says Yes (when it is super cheap on a Steam sale or price mistake). It never asks if I would buy the game immediately upon Steam release!This is why there needs to be another button or something, like "I wouldn't buy this myself because I don't like the games Stallion Free likes, but this looks like a game of high quality and I like the idea of it being on Steam so I wish to vote for it anyway".
I'm an honest person too and it bugs me to say yes I will buy stuff. =(
It's really interesting the way that pixel art is being used.I don't know that this has been posted here yet. Legend of Dungeon, it's a 1-4 player co-op Roguelike beat'em'up with proceduraly generated dungeons, permadeath, and a modern approach to pixel art.
I didn't knew about the Pinball Arcade, thank you for the heads up.Assetto Corsa:

Delver's DropINFRA is what we like to call a gun free exploration game. Instead of large explosions and powerful guns, you will rely on your cunning to survive puzzles in an incredibly detailed world. As you travel through the infrastructure of a city you will find that your actions and thorough observations ultimately determine if others will survive. A society obsessed with upgradation has brought a disaster upon itself and it is your job to help restore it.
Delver's Drop is a 2D Action RPG with fluid physics-based movement, snappy combat, shifting dungeons, and a rogue's gallery of individually leveled character classes. It features procedurally generated levels and puzzle permutations for infinite replay, a non-linear narrative, customizable character growth, and immense secrets to discover.

For some reason I thought it was already available on PC on Desura or something, but I didn't find anything from a quick search aside from people trying to get it on GoG (unsuccessfully?).I didn't even need to look at this list to be disappointed already. :/
I should start a digital distribution service just so I can have Pinball Arcade on PC.
They have pretty much said they would not release it on PC at all, if it's not greenlighted.For some reason I thought it was already available on PC on Desura or something, but I didn't find anything from a quick search aside from people trying to get it on GoG (unsuccessfully?).
The main remaining Greenlight game I still want to get through is Shantae.

Disappointing.
I think some Games really deserve it more than Surgeon Simulator (...) or Kingdom Rush. I liked Kingdom Rush on my iPad, but to me it is till a mobile Game or a Flash-Game.
Things like Depth Hunter or some other Games from the "official" Greenlight Bundle or the Groupees Greenlight Bundle deserve it more.
Kind of counterproductive, since getting it out via different channels would help raise its profile.
Thankfully it's a remake/enhanced version built from the ground up. This was one of my favorite games last year and am excited to see a remade non-flash PC version and on Steam at that.Disappointing.

They are adding a lot of new content to the PC version of Kingdom Rush. It won't be a bare bones port.
Is it really that difficult for them to do 10 minutes worth of research and say, hey, this is something that enriches our store.
A new batch.
I played this Game on my iPad and liked it, but I still think such a Game is not quite suitable for the PC. To me it is a Game you just play for a few minutes in the train, finish one level and then get off the train or whatever.
I had the same problems with Fieldrunners. I have it on my iPad too and I tried to play it on my PC, but somehow even though it is the same Game, somehow I did not enjoy it on my PC, while I enjoyed it on train.
It is just my opinion though.
Apparently not.Disappointing.
