Is there still a goon game dev thread here in Games? I thought there was one but I can't find it and can't remember the thread title.

Speaking of goon game development, what's that goon early access game that's like a comical point and click adventure set in Cthulhu Universe?

I think I got maybe halfway through The Witness and keep forgetting to go back. Now I'm afraid I've forgotten half of the puzzle rules.

The best part of The Witness isn't the puzzles, but the environmental Puzzles they give you. Once I started looking for those that game shot way up in my opinion.

Unfortunately for J. Blow, the joy of finishing a difficult puzzle doesn't compare to ripping an imp's head in half with your bare hands

You can get some by just asking the devloper and being honest about your capabilities as a reviewer.

It's about mine, and also the only game I've got above 40 hours in, at least going by Official Steam Numbers on my current account.

Steam says I played MGSV for 289 hours somehow

combination of leaving the game running to farm materials, me getting addicted to the online base-raiding thing, and playing MGSV"s version of MGO

either email developers or use one of the PR sites people have made

https://dodistribute.com/browse/ is made by vlambeer and is about as direct a request line as you can get from automation

https://evolve.terminals.io/ is by Evolve PR, i'm not sure what accreditation they're looking for in accepting people

https://www.keymailer.co/ is by I think a Yogscaster, this one's a little weird because they just add any game to their database whether the dev knows about them or not, so your chances might be better just asking devs directly. all this site requires is 50 subs from your youtube channel or twitch channel and some properly tagged videos in your feed

in general indie devs are just super nice and willing to give games to people who want to play them and recommend them to others, i don't know that your stats are even all that important so much as just getting the word out. consider that on any given day like 30 different indie games get released, i think devs really want to get their games out there as much as possible

Is The Scarab of Ra ever coming out on steam? That's what I want to know. I played the poo poo out of that as a kid.

You could save your game, but loading a game erased the save file. So the only mode was hardcore permadeath mode.

to give an example, indie games released in the past 24 hours:

runescape: idle adventures
epic battle fantasy 3
the underground man
lost castle
blind blades
ian's eyes
featherpunk prime
a matter of murder
windscape
don't crawl
cashtronauts
magnetta
wasps
rungunjumpgun
shiny
battle knights
hack slash & backstab
torsion
neurovoider
tahira

the majority of those might be bad but at the same time, you release among all those games and you'll want to get your game out there to stand out among them. "good work sells itself" i think is not necessarily true for indie games considering not enough people own GOTY of all years Full Bore

then tomorrow you have:

redout
de-void
seasons after fall
metris soccer
cliff hanger (not the FMV game :( )
Deadly Rooms of Death: gunthro and the epic blunder
toricky
dumb chicken 2: no way out
alpha decay
the seeker
hellangel
tangled up
space hole
grid legion storm
isomorph
wont you be my laser
lords of the earth flame

the signal to noise ratio is starting to get loving crazy. it's crazy that that many games are releasing on a friday, because of the floodgates being that wide open

indiegala is probably clapping with glee

Somehow 8 year old me memorized that whole game. IIRC it took 20 minutes to beat, compared to Dragon's Lair which I wanna say only took maybe 10-15 minutes and also was way less complicated. That ninja battle in Cliff Hanger, my god:

That kills the first bad guy.

It smells of and tastes like nutter butters.

I like nutter butters, but from what I've gathered, that may not be the majority opinion on nutter butters.
