Yeh, I watched that earlier, that's what peaked my interest.
I usually don't post about Greenlight games unless I call out really trashy looking ones, but this game looks too good to miss talking about it and I haven't seen anything at all about it on Gaf.
Timespinner is currently on Kickstarter and it's already nearing its $50,000 goal after only a few days (it's hovering around $33,000 right now).
Greenlight link.
Here's a thread about it.
That looks absolutely fantastic. Backing. (And hope it hits those stretch goals too haha)
After 6 days of not buying anything I finally made a purchase.

You did well for playing it for the first time.
Keep on giving us the same fucking deals everyday Steam and see what happens.
what is that amazingness from?
A user at another forum I frequent loved it and called it his "sleeper hit of 2014", whatever that means. He owns 1,000+ games and plays all of them whether he enjoys it or not.

huh, I think I utterly failed to get my point across... I'm not saying Valve will stop the sales nor that they should of course that's not gonna happen ever
I'm just saying I find it kinda annoying how everyone in the thread was complaining because some games happen to have received greater discount more than once, or because the discounts are 'only' -25%...
To build on that discussion though, I think it's definitely a possibility that Valve is currently trying to fix the ecosystem they partially damaged with the sales we all know there's a problem with people never even considering games until they're on sale. It's a complicated issue, and Valve isn't the only one to blame (and of course Steam has also been a huge benefactor to the industry, I'm not saying otherwise), but maybe they're experimenting with ways to dampen the problem by making sales somewhat less 'dramatic', and maybe to make it more of an event focused on the metagame rather than the discount themselves. Someone else mentioned earlier how it would have been better if users gained points by, say, winning in competitive matches in various games; I think that's definitely the kind of thing we might see in the future, things less focused on 'lower prices' but still incentivising sales, to both keep the cash flowing and try to counter the phenomenon where Steam users get 'trained' to wait for sales before buying anything.
Given the revenue spikes companies routinely see during these sales, is there really a problem here that needs to be rectified? I wasn't aware the ecosystem had been "damaged" to any great degree.
If there's a game I'd like to come fill my HDD, F.E.A.R. is the one. Not a single GB is wasted.
Guys, why is Cook, Serve, Delicious! soooo good?
And why does almost everyone only want bacon and cheese on their burgers?

LLTQ for $.06? Yessir.
Based Cards.
Based Cards.
Did you grey market it?
Because chubigans made it.
(Also possibly the answer to the second question as well
I had forgotten all about these games. Damn that was one controversial release.
I think I'm going to buy it too.

Okay, so I'm trying the Tropico 4 demo. What the hell am I doing? Arrow keys move the map, but all other keys are building shortcuts or some other control. How do I see which tasks to complete in the tutorial?
I see everyone playing this game. Is this like Bad Rats and Marlow Briggs, an absolute GOTY ? Because it looks like it.
He also worked on Jazz Jackrabbit 2. The man is as cool as someone can be.
No, it's actually good.
Cook, Serve, Delicious is the Dark Souls of restaurant sims.
All I know is that it's made by a GAFer.
It's made by a member of GAF, and it's fucking amazing.
downloading it now! first time

Why is Marlow Briggs being compared to Bad Rats? Briggs is actually decent.

CSD is legit. In hindsight I'd have paid 15 bucks for it. Best purchase of the last holiday sale.

I just remembered Yaiba is on Steam and hasn't been on sale....WTH
I did not know that.
Is there a list of games made by gaffers? I know we have Dust: An Elysian Tail by Noogy, Sequence by Feep, and Cook, Serve, Delicious by chubigans. What am I missing?
Edit: Gunman Clive by beril, for one.
And:
Assault Android Cactus by Paz and others
They Breathe - Kiriku
Love -
Last Knight: Rogue Rider - Davision
NEO Scavenger by dcfedor
Malebolgia (Greenlit) - Dascu

At least the base price has been lowered.

That is true just noticed that. Waited this long can wait some more.
Even ignoring the fact that it's made by a fellow gaffer and worth supporting only because of that it's a great game. Definitely not perfect but I found it pretty addicting. If you don't hate this kind of gameplay (watch some let's plays to see what it is like) then go for it. You won't be disappointed.
+ Gunman Clive made by beril
It's only 1,49€ right now and definitely worth that price.

Obscure 1 and 2
Killer is Dead
Apart from those, I caved in and bought these from gog:
Consortium
Ether One (waiting for a flash sale still)
Broken Age
Always Sometimes Monsters
Holy crap I just noticed it went down from $59.99 to $29.99 during the sale. I guess it's a silent sale?
My ga... never mind, it's not on PC =p
On a more serious note:
Gunman Clive
Assault Android Cactus
Last Knight:Rogue Rider
LOVE
NEO Scavenger
Malebolgia is on greenlight
StarDiver is on greenlight concepts
There's also quite a few in the Indie Game Dev thread that are close to release or have been released, but just not on Steam.
And last but not least: Dudebro: My Shit Is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It's Straight-Up Dawg Time

Sold.
Yeah, I've got a few:
- Fract OSC: Another one that I really like the look of, but I've got too much of a backlog to spend $12 on something that I'm not 100% on.
- Riddick: What the hell? Riddick doesn't even to be on Steam any more? Weird...
- Stanley Parable: Tried the demo, thought it was clever enough, but the lack of any sort of "game"-ness to it makes me balk at the current price.
- Nidhogg: Nobody to play it with IRL and bad word of mouth about its netplay keeps me away, unfortunately.
- Space Engineers: Probably can't run it.
