This is the thread I was thinking of. Maybe it’s not technically locked.
I like the idea of starting a new thread in theory, but let’s say I want to talk about this little free game jam game that is a time management adventure puzzle that takes twenty minutes to play through… I bet it would get more eyes and just about as much conversation as it needs in an indie games thread.
This could be that thread, but especially lately it tends to be a clearinghouse of games one of us stumbled on (or swept Steam for) that might conceivably be interesting to someone.
Ah, right, that one. I thought it was just redundant with this thread, which was more active, so I actually thought I was doing the forum a favor by focusing things. I mean, I still don’t understand the distinction between a game worth knowing about and a game worth playing. Aren’t all games worth playing worth knowing about? And doesn’t that mean the thread for games worth knowing about but NOT worth playing is just a thread about bad games? And if you want to call attention to a cool game, movie, TV show, or book, why hide it in a catch-all thread when you can give it a provocative thread title to draw in more readers? Because once someone loses interest in a catch-all thread, they’re never coming back and they’re never going to see whatever games worth playing/know about are brought up.
Anyway, the other thread is unlocked. You guys have at it!
I thought I saw something about this posted here a while back, but now I can’t find it. Anyway, it appears to be an updated Lords of the Realm, which can be a good thing. Still EA, but worth keeping an eye on.
orald is sad that his laptop likely won’t run this game though I am eager for this game to turn out well so that I can live vicariously through others play.
This absolutely incredible city-building engine has been shown off for awhile by the dev (maker of Bad North) on Twitter. It’s coming to Steam soon, apparently not really a game, but a “toy.” I find it just astonishing.
