Hmm. GameMaker Humble Weekly featuring games made with the program and maybe a licence for Studio Standard.

Nah something real simple. Thread title is appropriate.

Did you see my post the other day about how Strategy First was indeed planning to put The Oil Blue up on Steam as you'd earlier suspected?

Oh shit, yeah. They are using the Mashed app to test it.

No I didn't...ugh, you have got to be kidding me. Is there any links with more info?
 
LOLOLO

My credit card was forged.

1470,68€ spent around the interwebz on my, already tight, expenses.
But hey, at least the bank automatically blocked the last two transactions: about 7$. :D


Coolest thing is that now, once I'm gonna to the police to press charges, I have to hope that the bank will refund everything.

Well, let's hope Valve won't pull a huge surprise sale in the next couple of months.
Wowee, I don't know if I could keep my cool in your situation. Best of luck!

How does Trine compare to Trine 2? The first game seems to have a more positive reception mechanically than its sequel (which, apparently, is dumbed down). Graphics are pretty in both games, so I can take my pick. Do either of the games come with keys?

Speaking of Steam sale (sorry for what happened Copons, I hope the bank won't be too difficult to deal with :-S ) wasn't there supposed to be a spring sale this month ? Sorry, didn't follow Steam closely in March-April.

There's only been one spring sale like that in the past, the March Indie Sale last year, and at this point I doubt it will repeat, considering the summer sale gets closer and closer every day.

That happened to me in 2012. Hugely stressful and frustrating. The company that charged me ended up paying back like $300 more than had been taken, though.

DS2 is pretty great. Already wrapped up all the achievements.

It's definitely easier than DS1 though. There's no O&S or Four Kings or any boss of that caliber that you just dread facing.

Well that would be a refreshing change of pace! :D

Now I'm wondering if it would be useful sending emails at every site where the scumbags bought something, writing the full info of the card (as it's blocked now, so I don't care) asking them to stop and refund the orders made with that card or at least putting the orders on hold until the charges are finally pressed.

Oh well, thank y'all guys and sorry for this, I just needed to vent a little. :)

Prison architect is pretty good. Shame its so time consuming and with exams coming up, I had to uninstall it right away before I got sucked in.
 
Realized that no matter what I do(except from literally not taking the exam) I'll make a B in Anatomy and Physiology so any chance of caring about finals just evaporated. Now it's just depression as I really needed an A ;-; At least I'll easily make an A in Nutrition/Statistics so my GPA will even out.

Thanks for the chance to get the Star Wars collection Brute!

Nearing that magical 1k, 977 games at the moment.
Need to play some games as well, no sense in buying new ones if the old ones are just gathering HDD dust. :)

I stopped fighting, rationalizing or justifying digital hoarding long ago. I've just embraced it. And I haven't even reached 300 games yet.

Awesome I won!. Thank you for the gift.

Is there a preference one which to play first for a newbie?

lol the Who's Gaming Now?! Group got this back from Steam Support. You know the group that gives out free games if you vote for them on greenlight.

Hello Carl,

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

The group in question has violated the terms of the Online Conduct Rules for the Steam Community.

Disabling steam groups won't change anything about greenlight... ^^

I wish Steam would let me enter the cd keys I have from my boxed copies of Battlefront II and Empire at War instead of just failing at contacting the key server and giving up completely.

Good call... I dumped about 8 hours in yesterday and now have a mostly functional prison. Feel like I've just scratched the surface though!

Ugh, that sucks, man. Hope they get it sorted for you soon. : /


Oh, and as a random aside, Offspring Fling's terribly cute, and surprisingly addictive to boot. I can easily see myself sinking more time into it after the obligatory "play for card drops" period is over.

Word of advice for anyone getting/playing Gunhound EX
Simulation is the game's tutorial mode and it has a few that are needlessly frustrating.
THAT HOWEVER DOES NOT REFLECT THE GAME.

The game is a 2D sidescroller where you dodge enemy attacks and blow stuff up as an armored mech. Cool explosions, kickass soundtrack and well design gameplay.

How does it compare to something like Assault Suits Valken/Cybernator (SNES)?

Sadly, the force does not seem to believe in either you or me.

ORDER SIXTY SIX IS NOW IN EFFECT

GG EMPIRE, DEFEAT JEDI SCUM

Honestly crazy-frustrated over here that none of my cards have sold, despite plenty of 'em being the cheapest ones available last I checked. Sooo close to getting the Jedi bundle.

It's on my wishlist -- was there a deal on it recently?
It sorta reminded me of Gigantic Army when I looked it up.

I've got foils that haven't sold for almost a fucking year now, despite repeated price dropping.

Never mind that: this collection came with a CD key! Where am I supposed to look for it in my account?

CD keys are an option in the library right click menu if they are relevant.

I fired up Prison Architect for the first time yesterday, and 3.5 hours or so passed by quickly - it's really well done, and pretty engrossing.

Like BolognaOni, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of all the subsystems and whatnot - there's a lot to do, and a lot to monitor (well, when you don't know what you're doing, anyway). My first prison is best considered a learning experience, rather than a place to detain bad people.

Pro-tip: don't allow your prisoners easy access to your kitchen - they have a penchant for knives. RIP, my many departed guards.

It's $10ish on Playism Games' website and on Steam as well I believe, discount should still be active.

I sadly never played either game but I'm adding them to my ever increasing backlog.

Hmm put simply it's a 2D sidescroller, your mech has a health bar, but enemies and obstacles can be destroyed without taking damage if your careful and figure the layout of stages.
In the beginning your mech has heavy armor on, if you remove the armor, you restore to full health and gain more mobility at the cost of defense.
The gameplay simply invovles progressing while defeating enemies and in some cases prevent escorts from being destroyed.
Each stage so far has given different set of enemies and the gameplay's really fun, reminds me of Metal Slug and Contra.

In my case, my cards tend sell at worst 24 hours after I put them up.

EDIT: AW YEAH MY GUNHOUND EX CARDS GOT BOUGHT!

Two questions

Are Force Unleashed games well optimized? And are they worth the current asking price?

I don't recall having any issues with them, but I wouldn't recommend them. There's a certain boss in the first game that frustrated the hell out of me. I got the novelization and found it more enjoyable than the game.

Thanks Turfster, because I have no clue what this was about. I didn't grab a pack for myself, can't say I really have much interest in those games. It was going to be Jedi Knight or War for Cybertron, I flipped a coin.

Awesome I won!. Thank you for the gift.

No idea, but boot 'em all up once for the Playfire credit, if you're into that. Twice the usual amount for a "Play for the first time" reward.
