The world is very large, it took me several hours to reach from the southernmost tip to as far north as I appeared I could go. The survival elements give you some idle activity to do as you look around for the meat and potatoes of the game - the notes left behind by the characters involved in the drama that unfolded. It isn't very deep with the mechanics, so you'll have to settle for fishing while you mull over the latest batch of story you came across.

EDIT: I should also mention that the game does not have a definitive "end" as the developer plans to add more notes over time, should the game do well. Your reward is the texts.

Sounds good. Cheers.

Similar here, I tried it at an expo last year and certainly didn't see anything wrong with it that deserved the bad press. Totalbiscuit had a video on it as well that reinforced that to me, looks like a solid (if Immature) action game.

I thought I remember ConsoleGAF shitting on it... though maybe they were shitting on it because reviews were shitting on it...

That looks pretty nice, and it's releasing next week, too! Gonna wishlist it for now and check it out later.

I am wary about indie games which look nice in the trailer: unless there are some big names in the indie team, it is unlikely the game would look that good in real time. Think of Miasmata or Dream for instance.

Nice song, what is it? Game looks cool, wishlisted it too. How's the necrodancers own soundtrack?
Click to expand...

the first song is Dreaming by Smallpools and the second one is a Pumped Up Kicks remake by Watsky! The games soundtrack is really good too! I just wanted to test the custom MP3 stuff!

Ventara said:
Nice! The weather here is pretty good right now, too. Hasn't been too hot or anything. If you're thinking of doing anything else, canoeing down by one of the national parks is pretty fun. Just a few hours (2-4) drive away.
Click to expand...

that sounds cool! I shall look up all the stuff I am going to be doing near the time. I normally just turn up and wing it :lol

LOL that would be sad, most probably saw the bad reviews and based the game as shit off that. It happens alot. ZombiU got 2 really bad reviews, everyone started shitting on it. I got the game for like 20$, it was actually a decent survival horror game that just needed to build up better on it's melee mechanics.


Alpha Protocol is another example of this, game gets shit on by reviews because of bugs, but the game itself was actually really damn good. Probably some of the most fun I've had making choices in taht game.

Is there a list somewhere of when games were added to Greenlight and when they were approved? Finding the first ten is easy, after that it gets harder.

Just checked how Idle Master was doing and found out I got a foil. It's from Anomaly, and it's worth $0.30.

Eh, better than nothing.

My only recent foil was from EYE Divine Cybermancy... shit was worth 23 cents. Also my last 5 booster packs have all been for Titan Attacks, which is worth 20 cents. I have the worst luck with drops :D

Not as far as I'm aware. The best resource there is, is the batch announcements, but you'd need to go digging for the original submission dates yourself.

The changelog in my downloaded archive goes up to v0.3, so I guess I'm up to date.
Seems to be an issue in the long run, it started out smoothly but it got bumpy a few hours later.
Click to expand...

That's weird. The way it's supposed to work, and I'm looking at the code, is that while you idle a game it periodically checks the badge page to see how many cards you have left to idle. Version 0.1 had it where if it failed to reach this badge page, it would kill steam-idle and move to the next game, but version 0.2 added in a grace timer where it makes several attempts before killing steam-idle and, when it can reach the badge page again, it re-opens steam-idle in the same game as before.

Everytime someone plays an ARPG with gamepad God kills a kitty. :(

Why wouldn't anyone play an ARPG with a gamepad? They're mashers, there's no reason to wear out a perfectly good mouse on one unless they're designed so terribly that you have to.

It's really only shooters that shouldn't be played with a gamepad.

I used to never get foils, but I've gotten four since I started using Idle Master.

(I used to never idle for cards.)

Speaking of Divinity, how do I stop everyone being pissed off with me, got caught stealing once as my stealth broke randomly and now everyone in town is at -5.
Click to expand...

Good question. Haven't pissed off anyone yet, but would be good to know if that happens. Does anyone here know better?

Enhanced Steam version 6.5 for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox has been published. Changes in this version include:
  • Removed button to delete owned games from wishlist, as Steam now does this automatically
As always, let me know if you run into any problems using this version.
Click to expand...
I think you should have confirmed that first before removing the feature.
Steam does not yet remove games from wishlist that are gotten from Humble links.

You can raise people's opinions by giving them money or just taking the worse end of a trade. That's a person by person thing though, I don't know about a whole town.
