I would say PSX gen and lower now.
Me giving away something worth more than 99 cents.
This is a lovely game. I beat the first area yesterday.
Hey guys. I need some help here. My brother has had a Steam account for some time now, though he wants to add friends and have a nice profile now, so I added $10 to his account to enable it. His level went up to 1, but he still can't trade with me. Does his level need to be higher, or is there something else? Please help.
Wow man, very nice of you. Whoever wins, be sure to play since it's an awesome game.Me giving away something worth more than 99 cents.

Aren't brand new accounts restricted from trading for awhile? Oh you said some time now, hmmm maybe it's dependant on when it goes "active" based on steams criteria. So even though he had it for awhile, it didn't count towards the trade restriction until now. Also he'll need mobile authenticator probably as well.
Pretty sure. Perhaps try clicking on the 'market' tab and it'll tell you why trading is restricted.
Is that from the point he becomes a paid user? Of from when he first joins? He's been a free user for a while.
Will try this, thanks.

Yeah I updated my post, meant to say it doesn't count until it becomes "active"
When he goes to the community market it should list the reasons for a restriction and the expected date and time it will lift.

The name is Rebecca Chambers, but that's *Officer* Chambers to you.
I was like do I save it for FF9 or do I give away something to the community? It was an easy decision in the end since the community has been pretty nice to me when it comes to winning or receiving games from gaffers and it has been a long time since the last time I've given newer games. I hope those who win the game actually play it since the game is charming plus it has a damn hug button.

Throw in Etrian Odyssey IV and one of the Trauma Center games.

Pretty lame that consoles get This War of Mine with exclusive new content that has had no word of launching as PC dlc.
I wouldn't mind having a chance to win a boy and his blob, so here you go...

My guess would be a new 3d classic, since tomorrow is Nintendo press release day.
Edit: or even just a sale on the current ones, since they have a weekly sales thing going on.

Well they said it's a new game announcement so I don't think it'll be about their 3D Classics going on sale.

This War of Mine is on consoles? I really have stepped away from console news info.
Edit: I see, it's coming at the end of the month.

Maybe they'll bring it to Origin.

an expansion that lets you play as children/have children in your group of survivors

January Update: IGA's Got A Brand New Background
Happy New Year! (I'd have wished you Happy New Year earlier, but I like to keep the teaser updates strictly business.) 2016 is a big year in the Bloodstained development cycle, and I'm looking forward to keeping you updated as each piece falls into place.
The first piece of the year, of course, is the shader we teased earlier this month. All the feedback you gave changed IGA's plans for the shadersoriginally he was planning to show four, but your comments helped him narrow it down to two shaders: A refined version of Shader 1, and Shader 3, which you saw applied to Miriam in the teaser.
But they've come up with four variations anywaya veritable shader Punnett square. What follows are Background 1/Character 1; Background 1/Character 3; Background 3/Character 1; and Background 3/Character 3.
Speaking of backgroundsthey also put together a new background for you. I think you'll like it.
Background 1 / Character 1
Background 1 / Character 3
Background 3 / Character 1
Background 3 / Character 3
Here's IGA's comments:
Greetings!
Last time, we turned to the backers for input on which shaders to use in the game. Based on that, we've gone back and put tons of time into making improvements. In particular, the background we revealed in the previous update was just arranged for our own experimentation; for this update we've put much more detail into it. This may make it easier for you to see which direction we're aiming for.
Of course, as we add more detail to the background the characters become more prone to blending into the background. Some of you have noticed the characters' proportions changing in the art and early screenshotswe're making adjustments as we build the game to maximize the contrast between character and background. We've made more changes for this update, and adjustments will likely continue as we get farther into development.
One you may notice is that Miriam has two long ribbons attached to her shoulders now. When we tested her original graphic, it was hard to pick her out against the background, because there wasn't much on her costume that moved or swayed. (The design of her left shoulder has changed, too, as some of you pointed out; this is the reason why.)
For this third shader, we've increased the contrast of the background and edited the lighting to polish the overall effect. The first shader also looks different against a more detailed background, so I think there's a different effect to that one, too. Which one do you guys like? To be honest, opinions are divided within our team!
We spent an enormous amount of time and effort on this third character shader to create an illustration effect. We tried to get closer to the requests of backers who hoped she would look more like the original design illustrations, and when I first saw this shader, I have to admit I was so impressed I actually gasped.
So we've compiled a few options of these background and character shaders put together and would like to see what you think. And, as I've pointed out in the latest Ask IGA, this will be our final request for art-direction feedback. I'd like to ask for any final thoughts you have now, so we can move forward and start putting things in motion. - IGA
Once I saw these I understood why they hadn't gotten us the new shaders on schedule: They decided to make new screenshots from scratch, instead.
Too-high-res-for-Kickstarter versions of each image are availablejust click on the one you want to see. And if you'd like to let the team know which of these configurations is your favorite, click through to our new survey.
This is a packed update, and anyway I don't want to skew the results by telling you which of these screenshots is my favoriteso we'll move on.

It's pretty weak, even if it does come to PC eventually. I don't really see the benefit of keeping new content off the platform that made you successful.
Jawmuncher

Maybe they should fix up your outfit.
Children don't die they get lost? Im not saying "oh man kids need to die" but it seems a odd way to handle it.
it actually seems really interesting because the kids will have different needs than adults and adds a whole new layer to the bleak reality the game is trying to show..
hell, there is DLC on the steam version that adds graffiti but more importantly all proceeds go to help children who are war refugees but the actual content depicting that isn't available on PC
:/
kids can't die, that would be TABOO

Shader 3 looks amazing in the close-up, but it loses a lot of fidelity once the camera is pulled back. Shader 1, the most flat of the three, manages better in the action camera view. Still, love the way the style is coming together!
