I apologize if this is the wrong place - I had a very minor but odd problem.

I see ads for the Alpha for "Oxygen Not Inlcuded" and can go to the Steam page for GE game, but there is no "BUY" button anywhere? Am I missing something here?

EDIT: never mind I had to go to a different steam store page for some reason. Odd.

What happens when developing indie games goes too far: FBI MANIA



quote:

FBI MANIA - it's a 2D action shooter. The game designed as a simulator that will help you (with 6 levels which will increase the difficulty as you progress through) to develop the sharpness of reaction and increase your level of using a computer mouse. In the last level a boss is waiting for you and will need you to do your best!

The main character Tommy is suffering from the delusions of persecutor. Inner demons kept his life in fear and once one of them offered Tommy a deal: to live free from a phobia or die. He agrees, and begins the fight for control over his own mind from now on.

GAME FEATURES:

* 6 levels to pass and a level with the boss!
* 3 types of weapons: gun, automatic rifle, sniper rifle!
* Bicoloured graphics!







Oh poo poo, the creator is hard at work developing another game as we speak:

Is Unturned itself just a copy of the UnitZ game starter pack on the Unity store, or did they expand on it at all?

How the gently caress are all these things even getting greenlit in the first place? Has steam lowered the greenlight requirement to 2 upvotes any length of time apart? Or are there actually just hundreds of mentally disabled people unironically upvoting these things? Or are the devs all paying for shady services to get them greenlight? I feel like they can't all be the latter, as that would require a budget of over $100.

Until Valve stepped in to put a stop to it, it was not at all uncommon for devs to promise free keys to folk who voted to get a game greenlit. And if you're wondering how that makes any business sense, most of these games also were using/abusing the card market to get cash.

JESUS TURN IT OFF
WHY ARE YOU STILL SMILING
Serious answer: the bar was lowered massively after they swapped from monthly or rarer batches of greenlighting the top 100 titles at a time to "whoever wants to, just click on the top until your wrist gets tired and that's the day's arrivals". Adding to this is that bundles tend to have "vote on Greenlight and get a key" links you can conveniently click to raise a lot of hits fast, and itch.io creators may also spam anyone who's claimed a key from them to do similar (hi a few devs I've dealt with).

Combine the above and you can fly through real quick with a little effort. There are also services you can pay for a block of votes but I've heard Valve has been watching for that and banning the bots where they find them. Dunno if that's a thing still to consider.

Stick Shift



quote:

Stick Shift is an autoerotic night-driving game about pleasuring your gay car.

Driving games are usually about speeding around a track, but racing is actually just one form of driving, right? What else can driving mean? Similarly, how else can games think about sex, beyond a cutscene? What does sex feel like, beyond pornography?

This short game tries to expand eroticism in games beyond a cutscene. What if sex in games was something we did, instead of something we obtained? One way to do sex is to see sex everywhere. Sex here, sex there, sex behind yonder tree!... and sex through the tender caresses that seduce gay cars everywhere.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Yang made a couple very interesting experimental narrative games (radiator 1 and a stargazing thing) with the source engine, then for some reason started to make games, as far as I can tell, exclusively about sexytimes with guys. The earlier games did interesting stuff with ambiguous gender or had gay relationships at their core, but it's gotten increasingly...esoteric and limited in scope since then. Like, if that's all you want to do, ok, and I don't have a problem with the subject matter, but it's been a few years now, and every single design I've seen him post or prototype he's built out has been on that fairly narrow theme. I'd find this equally concerning if it were fixated on straight sex. At least it looks like he's still doing interesting work with interaction, though.
