Ran a full season of Girl by Moonlight over 5 days to get the hang of FitD systems with a handful of friends, it was EXCELLENT stuff. (Modded the game quite a bit on the fly and kept calling everything "moves" though.) We were all crying during the last few scenes

Steam apparently just making it so indies can never reach the popular upcoming page unless they already have a huge fan base, cool cool cool

Ryan T. Brown 🎮🩷@toadsanime.lostincult.co.uk · 2mo ago

This Steam Popular Upcoming change has, unfortunately, made accruing a huge amount of wishlists pre-launch very important again, and the ability for most indies to reach that bar being a looot harder and more rare. Indie visibility was already tough, unfortunately it is now much tougher.

A screenshot from a Twitter post by user RegisKillbin, which reads the following: Steam just made a change that's really gonna hurt future indie games. The Popular Upcoming page used to list games chronologically by release time. As long as you had enough wishlists to make the cut (~6k to 7k), you'd get some time at the top of the list for people to discover your game. Now it's listed algorithmically, with far more large games from major companies and publishers on the list, even those releasing two weeks away. The lowest wishlist count on there right now is 80k, when before it would've been 10 indie games as low as 6k wishlists. Feeling very lucky our game's early access release barely made it out before this changed. It was worth probably 1k wishlists for us, and we had some really unfortunate timing/positioning too. It can be worth thousands of wishlists and sales for smaller games. Steam is more heavily prioritizing larger games, with the budget and time to grow to enormous wishlist totals, or the rare indie viral hit. The small to mid-sized games just lost a way to find players. Steam players lost a tool to discover cool smaller games.

"I sold my soul" No. You are continually, repeatedly, each moment it goes on, selling - present tense - your soul. With minimal effort, you could likely stop soon, if not immediately. This is not a decision you have made and the moral consequences are over - like ALL acts of evil - you renew it.

ANNOUNCING: Swords Against Beginner's Box Replica Edition Coming in June, this is a reproduction of a specific, incomplete, unplayable copy of this 1979 game found at an estate sale in 2016, including replicas of personal effects of the former owner.

Box cover is a field of blue with yellow text: SWORDS AGAINST. Beneath that in black text: COMPLETE BEGINNER'S BOX WITH INTRODUCTORY MODULE "THE VANISHING OF SERLO'S KEEP" BY W.T. SCHAUSS. In yellow frame, there is a fairly poor reproduction of J.R. Skelton's painting of Beowulf and the dragon. Underneath that, in a yellow border, I have added REPLICA EDITION OF 1979 RELEASE - NOT A PLAYABLE GAME, and a faded Hollandspiele logo which I hope is a tasteful addition.The reverse of the original box was blank, so I hope you don't mind me filling up the space with some context. In 2016, a few days after we had started Hollandspiele, Mary and I went to an estate sale and came across this box. I had never heard of it before, but I assumed based on the title it might have something to do with the Lankhmar books, or that, based on the repurposed J.R. Skelton illustration, it might have something to do with Beowulf. Both of these were things I was fairly obsessed with at this time, and the box felt fairly heavy, so I gave ten dollars to the daughter of the deceased. The box had been sealed with heavy strapping tape. When I cut it open, I found most of the box's heft came from the previous owner's personal effects. The core rulebook was missing, as was the "Dictionary of Devils". The only piece of the original game left in the box was the adventure module – but not its dungeon map, or the answer key for its many obtuse puzzles. The game was unplayable. I went online to try to find PDFs of the missing material, but there were none. No downloads on DriveThruRPG, no entries in databases, no forums, no remembrances on groggy blogs. It was almost like it never existed at all. But the box was proof it did. And in those personal effects there were a few clues that enabled me to piece together the story of an RPG publisher that existed for a few months in 1979, and the novelist who wrote an adventure module that in all likelihood was played by maybe a dozen people. More than that, I learned about the person who had owned my copy, and had annotated the module book with a puzzle of their own. The box was proof they existed, too. It occurred to me that all of this was worth preserving, and a few years ago I set about securing the necessary permissions to publish this replica edition. The original publisher, Michael Lord, was still alive – he passed only very recently – and even sent me a copy of the missing materials. I went back and forth on whet…
