Pigeons make everything more scary, thus we should have more pigeons in horror games.

They shouldn't have promised to give keys away, I'm sure they would have passed Greenlight regardless. Now who knows if they're stuck in Greenlight limbo.
well tickle my TitS and call me grandma ... this looks VERY interesting
My ears! You could have at least warned us!
It's nothing special.
Way more simple since you don't have to buy items or anything.
Awesomenauts is better.

No, but bird enemies in horror games are one of my big weaknesses, bird enemies always are harder to shoot in old horror games because of fixed-camera angles, how small they are, and how they go circling around you, and they often come in a pack. And even in not fixed games, often flying enemies can be a pain. I need to remember this fucking horror game I played that had flying enemies that could poison you in a game with limited poison healing items. Fucking A.
However, pigeon horror should slowly migrate to games from other mediums.
The OP's kind of wall-of-textish, and I think that intimidates some people, or causes them to tune out. The problem is that all the stuff in the OP is useful, so I can't really think of anything you could cut or condense to make it more easily digestible, either. (*insert rant about diminishing attention spans here*
The OP is actually small compared to the Something Awful Steam thread, it will make you cry.
Yeah, you would think indie devs would finally realize nobody's really playing multi-only games...
Pity, the game looks nice, but I'm not expecting more than 20 concurrent week after launch. :\

Only if you put in a strong hat economy will a multi-only game survive.

Despite being rather long, it is laid out in an easy to sort through way. I mean you can skip past the new releases stuff if you want and already be at the helpful links and things.

The secret to multi-only games with dead communities is to be part of a community of people you play games with. I have a group of friends in a chat I host with over 50+ people, we commonly gift and play games together, and people go out of their way to buy four-packs for giftable copies and such.
It solves any dead community problems if you have other people yourself to play with, and can be a lot of fun.

I just think the community is different today. I am sure about 10-15 years ago, if such a game would be released, it wouldnt be a problem to build up a community for such a game.
I personally would go as far and say that the PC-gaming community was far more "hardcore" than nowadays

I mean, I get that they're trying to harken back to a different age of FPS, but advertising non-features isn't a feature.
Yeah, that's me! I've been using a dev account for a while and have been trying to get this ready for steam release so I haven't been on my real account in a while haha.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the game!

I'm up to 7.50 made from cards that dropped using Idle Master. I'm all out of drops now, so I just need my last 10 cards to sell and I'll be finished for now.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
On the bright side, at least people are happy to buy MP-only games.

It's a decent turn based historical game mixed with party management aspects. The only RTS related thing about it is exploration on the map, the actual battles are turn based. Think something like King's Bounty mixed with shades of something like Oregon Trail. The writing is great, there's a lot of classic WRPG style dialogue trees in the game that flesh out the game's world and characters. The best part is that it's actually one of the better historically based games that I can think of. It's not a romanticized version of the discovery of the new world, and that's really refreshing. It does get a bit repetitive though.
The OST is excellent, better than I expected, especially in regards to the overworld themes. Xaltocan is so good.

Oh, Frozen Endzone is on Early Access now, renamed to Frozen Cortex, completely forgot about this game, even after pre-ordering it ages ago.
"Steam users will buy anything at the right price" is an incontrovertible truth that applies to more than just those such as myself. I mean, when YNAB4 went on sale for the first time, it was one of the leading titles of the Top Sellers list -- there's a delicious irony in that.

Reminds me I bought that but have never used it.

Fair enough. But it's kind of the classic "chicken and the egg" scenario. Do people not buy MP only games because nobody is playing them, or is nobody playing them because people aren't buying them?
The reason the info is there front and center in Enhanced Steam is to help give people an idea of how active the MP community is - before Enhanced Steam
or conversely, without it

Was burnt twice. First Nexuiz, which I bought. Then Air Bucanneers (which I, thank god, got in a bundle).
Both communities were dead at release...
Adultswim is publishing a new game called Mega Coin Squad
It looks like a 4p local multiplayer game
Probably a reason for the devs to do so, but it seems all their games only have local multi :/
So, after 3 years of ignoring issues and not even fixing the configuration tool in the game (which was fixable with a single registry key), SEGA is doing something about Sonic Adventure DX (and other Dreamcast Collection games) on Steam. o_o

Haven't we completely discredited SteamCharts data when it comes to game profitability yet?
I mean, sure, it's a good to give you absolute minimum of game sales, and whether people are playing the game, but seriously...
Ys: Oath in Felghana - great success for XSEED, jump-started all their releases - 438 all-time peak.
Dustforce - 300,000 sales according to the developer data, 325 all-time peak.
Eldritch - 32,000 sales at start of 2014 according to the developer data, 383 all-time peak.
Cook, Serve, Delicious - 55,000 sales at start of 2014 according to chubby, 1443 all-time peak.

It's turn based with a hex grid system iirc, Pork's comparison to King's Bounty is pretty apt, in fact that's the only thing I didn't like about the game - that your player character doesn't participate in battles... That aside, I found it to be a great game, challenging and a lot of fun to play. Fantastic writing, great music, multiple endings, random events, yeah it's just great - totally flew under my radar and certainly one of the better games I've played this year. It's in a bundle too atm I think so you've got nothing to lose, hell, when I finished I honestly wished I could have the devs more money for the game.

This is why I'm switching my 6770 (loud as fuck) to a GTX 750 Ti (which is supposedly completely inaudible under load).

Will be nice to see some actual effort on these titles. If crazy taxi got the original music back I'll buy it. Now they just need to add cards.
We all know getting on Steam isn't instant wealth, it never has been. But it is to a certain extent a minimum requirement if you are to hope to have significant success, and there's tons of stories to back that up. The problem is, everyone thinks their game will be the next big thing, and when it isn't, they always look for some explanation other than bad luck (or the more likely explanation, that their game just isn't that special).
We are still seeing indie games dominate the top 10 sales, many of them from the moment of release (or before), others from particular sales. Great games are getting the attention they deserve. Maybe certain niche games are getting lost in the shuffle, but creators of those games should know how to appeal to their niche without needing Steam exposure to do it for them.
