I liked Wolf09 when I played through it way back when. I'd probably nominate Singularity as the better of the two, though, but again it has been a few years.

Btw. Muvluv is still a quite normal Highschool VN IIRC while Alternative is the depressing one.
I would not call Extra "normal" but compared with Alternative, sure. But it was also really boring, I could only manage to get through one route without quitting, meaning I missed on the "reward" that is Unlimited, but the characters were all predictable and the story was stupid in a bad way.

I could totally see it as a "you had to be there" sorta game. I think I'm also just annoyed at the design oversight/bug I encountered that made me have to replay through a good chunk of the campaign.
 
You know I thought Dota 2 Reborn would get a lot of buzz seeing it's Source 2 and custom games, even from non-Dota fans and modders, but nope. Was like a fart in the wind. It's time Valve announced something new so people can get excited again. Well, sort of, since SP fans don't have anything to look forward to for a looooooooong time.

Well it's an actual beta with many things not working properly, final client won't be out before TI is over

When i see Portal 3/L4D3/TF3/HL3 then i will be excited. Dota 2 on Source 2 is more like remaster and many PC gamers don't care about those :D

That IF thread keeps delivering: hyperbole, lack of sense of humour, the usual.

is there a way to see a list of games that have workshop support somewhere somehow?

It seems Groupees no longer accepts PayPal payments via "instant" bank transfer.

don't be so sure... it's or something with groupees or paypal, but I have problems while using those together quite often recently, it ended in me accidentally buying two bundles once or trying several times until payment goes through (while showing it's not a valid method)
Just try again.

edited: most annoying thing is that green paypal usage message that spawns and refuses to go away... It probably is groupees not paypal fault after all, I mean the whole thing.


Thanks! Totally forgot about this option, I blame lack of sleep
 
It seems Groupees no longer accepts PayPal payments via "instant" bank transfer.

I did it with mine earlier, instant bank transfer went through no problem from Australia. Are you using an unusual bank? Not one of the big 4?

So much for R18+ ratings in Australia. They have banned 220 games in the last 4 months! Compared to only 50 from 1994-2014.

Hotline Miami II hurts, but probably not going to miss Douchebag Beach Club, Drunk Driver and HoboSimulator.

It's not a bug as it's my default funding option and I can use it just fine on Indie Gala.

it is a groupees bug, not paypal's, unless you are saying not what I think you are saying.
I had to try few times until my payment got through, everywhere else there is no problem, only with groupees.

It's not a Groupees bug. Why would it be a Groupees bug when it's PayPal's checkout system? The issue isn't that I can't pay, it's that a specific method is no longer offered.

This is a message I got yesterday, and I still was able to pay by this method later trying more times.
OTOH maybe your problem is different.

oh well
 

Dusk Golem

A 21st Century Rockefeller
thats pretty cool! is there any gameplay I can watch?

Yes, but it's of an older version of the game, so I get all D8 to post it. Game was originally made in two days for Ludum Dare 29, but then last April I spent 3 more days on it and released it and it surprisingly got some attention, so I tried Greenlight, got through Greenlight in 11 days, and here we are. I'm majorally re-working the game and adding a lot of new stuff for the Steam release, what I'm calling version 2.0 or the final expansion.

There is a couple trailers on the Steam page, but I purposely hardly show anything:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/377330

Here's some choice quotes from two indie game blogs that covered the last version of the game:

Close Your Eyes should be limited by its visuals, but the indistinct shapes and weird images slowly dial up the terror. (...) Close Your Eyes has some sharp voice and audio design to build on its simple visuals, knowing when to quietly mutter and when to scream something almost incomprehensible. It's creepy to be sent to a hellish underworld for a murder you did commit, but it's what you hear down there that makes this journey almost too much to bear. The screams in one chapter are haunting, and I can't even think of them without getting the chills. Looking at screenshots for Close Your Eyes had me thinking it would be silly and ineffective, but through perfect use of unnerving sound and some twisted, surprising visuals, it easily left me frightened, unsure whether I should be playing it at night.
Source: http://indiegames.com/2015/06/be_careful_lest_you_see_someth.html

“More than startle, the game bothers me. The simple graphics and minimalist design (...) create a very oppressive atmosphere. The sound of the game is also quite bizarre, contributing to the immersion in the oddities of the universe proposed on the screen.”
Update Or Die: http://www.updateordie.com/2015/06/07/close-your-eyes-um-intrigante-indie-game-de-terror/

If you want to watch gameplay of the older version of the game made in 5 days, you can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScdBCPbEMe8 <--That part doesn't show too much and is just one segment of the game, it's mainly a part of the game you go around collecting keys and doing what you do best, but I've touched it up a lot already in this release to make it a bit easier to find your targets, but also to add more intrigue.

Nine pieces of KFC for nine dollars this evening.

If I don't survive I want it known I died doing what I love.

Had that for lunch and just got through the last three oil soaked pieces for dinner. Now to get back to that demon foglet that kicked my ass this afternoon. The Witcher 3 has accomplished what most open world games fail, it's a fantastically realised world.

FYI, this only happens when the DLC sub also includes the base game. Simply purchasing DLC doesn't automatically trigger a +1 on free games... unfortunately.

(my research said otherwise, but if it works out that way I can send out a Steam key for the base game to everyone who selects the 80 DLC pieces, it just will take a bit of time to send out all of them. I google'd for a while and people were saying any purchase made to a F2P game marks the game as bought, but that was from my google research, and I do trust you on this).

it doesn't? I was sure it does... or it just ties a game to your account but doesn't count as an owned game?

Wouldn't it be faster to add game to DLC sub? Assuming Valve allows it.

It "just" adds game to library, yeah.

What's the difference between "free to play" and "free" on steam?
for example: doto is marked as free to play, while Anarchy Arcade - free.
Or is it just accidental?

It's not really an issue since my Groupees purchases are never more than a couple of bucks or so, just rather strange.

you know... it's still a damn strange coincidence. I never got error message about payment method being invalid before, it was the first time.
It makes me think that something is going on, not sure what.

Microtransactions?

wait a second! That would be too cool, lemme check this theory

edited: unfortunately, no, that's not the case. Senia is "free to play", it has no microtransactions. For the moment here I was excited. But ya that would be too good to be true.

(I think I modified the depot for Close Your Eyes so now the DLC includes the base game when activated, as a heads-up, I'm not sure if the keys will properly activate before the 24th, but if someone could tell me if it affects game count or not either now or at that time, I'd appreciate it.)
