[EDIT]
@Faloperito made a super mega --> Google Spreadsheet <---
I'm really greatfull for his help and ideia. you can check the original --> comment here <--
Use the file tocheck what words have been used and what games were given away. (Still in Beta :), let us know if you find any bug)
[/EDIT]

I had nothing to so I had the idea to start a community game. I don't know if will make an impact, or if its gonna be funny! Worst case scenario, the community gets 3 giveaways from me :)

The idea of the community game is to make a game of words, similar to the Rate The Person Above You: Steam Profile Edition, but with giveaways.
I'll start the game with 4 comments, someone take it from there.


Rules:

  • Take the word from the previous comment.
  • Create an invite only(lvl 1-3) (ending in 6 or 7 days from the creation date.) giveaway that has something to do with the word mencioned in the last comment.
  • You can obfuscate your link with somekind of bot protection if you want. Since the 1000 bot accounts that exist will probably just start entering all the giveaways in this thread in 2/3 days... We can't do nothing to prevent that.
  • Try to use a word you know has some options. For example, use the word "Magic" instead of "Harry Potter" :)
  • You can explain why you are giving away, the game, or why you associated your giveaway with the previous word. You can go ahead and write whatever you want in your comment, as long as you enunciate what is the next word on the board and create the giveaway :)
  • Try not to comment if you are not participating, so we can have a organized flow of comments links and new words. Unless you want to help the game and give a BUMP, in that case just comment "BUMP" so the person scrolling trought the comments knows its just a bump and not a "participation"
  • You can go ahead and create various giveaways per comment, but try to keep it inside the "word". Of course, do whatever you want, we are not a dictactorship :) if you feel like it, post whatever you want, as long as you are trying to participate in the community
    * I will close the thread when the last giveaway ended and no new giveaway is posted in the 7 days after that
  • Try to come up with a fun word or a hard word, whatever you think will be the most fun to create a giveaway with :)

Other "Rules"

  • Go ahead and comment with 2 or 3 words if you want to give options to the next person.
  • Cmon! don't use "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" or use it, but give other word option too.
  • You commented at the same time of other person? No problem! :) the next person will have more word options for their giveaway. Don't Sweat it
  • Please dont spam the thread with replies to the "participating comments" asking "why im on your blacklist?", "Please, explain what you said on the other thread", "Epic/steam/ubisoft/EA is Evil", "the devs of this giveaway game are Evil people and deserve to burn"! Lets try to keep the participations flowing, there are other threads you can use to have intense discussions/vents.
  • Go ahead and give me your rule ideas when participating.
  • Last word was hard? tell us how you connected it to your giveaway! we want to know :)

Hope we manage to organize this :)

I'm not english native, so my english is probably bad, I did my best to explain the concept. hope you all understand the game :) have fun SG community

If this type of game was ever done on SG, give me a heads up, so i can link the original idea here.

Decent but tedious game, with an interesting & unfortunate situation. As I'm sure you already noticed, the game is no longer available on Steam. You can still buy it on both Fanatical and Humble Bundle, but I would not recommend that, because the developer makes no money from those purchases. Check this out:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/356050/discussions/0/3387291961136854467/#c3821912152404591137

It sounds like the dev decided not to renew their publishing agreement, because the publisher (Team17) sneakily altered the agreement after-the-fact without the dev's consent.

IMO, this is one of those rare times where the grey market is actually the honorable route. πŸ˜‰

You're welcome. :)

I wanted to point out that while I found the game to be tedious, I would recommend it to people who are interested in it based on the game's trailer. I liked it for the most part, and TBH, probably the main reason I'm remembering it as tedious is because I decided to 100% it. I mean, it's a slow game any way you go about it, but if your goal is to just chill and play through it normally, it's a pretty neat experience.

I just saw some gameplay. It's too bright for my eyes and I doubt it has a setting to change the color of what the protagonist can't see. Do you remember something like this?
However, hats off to concept, where first time I see something like this in game, and design. :)

8 months ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

I do remember it being a bit harsh on the eyes, but I have a fairly severe light sensitivity issue, so I'm used to just begrudgingly accepting it with most games, films, and TV.

Let me re-install the game and I'll look at the settings. BRB.

EDIT: Unfortunately there are no settings to change the white to a different color. There aren't even any brightness settings! IDK if the idea was to make the game visually uncomfortable for the player, so they could get a small understanding of what being visually impaired is like, but yeah. I guess you could always lower the brightness through your monitor, but TBH I don't think you're missing out on much if you decide the skip this one. It was a slightly neat way to kill a few hours, but that's all it has going for it IMO.

Comment has been collapsed.

The lack of settings indicates a hasty implementation. Perhaps the same haste made the creator come to an agreement with the above publishing company... So, yeah, I'll probably skip it.
Thank you for all the information and for your time, of course. Have a great rest of your day! :)

Yeah, I agree. No brightness settings in a game that's so glaringly white is sort of shocking.

According to this puzzle, the combination of letters and their positions in any code is unique.
The appearance of the 5 rows (with the sequences of letters) in the image was completely random. That being said, there would be no difference if they were written in that order:

R, W, ?, G, L
i, l, ?, r, u
t, v, ?, z, b
N, O, ?, Q, R
h, l, ?, t, x

The rows are in a new random position. And they contain the same sequences of letters, because they belong to the same code.

Unlike other similar games, in Pathologic 2 (92% positive ratings open-world survival horror you shouldn't miss), you don't use such a primitive tool as a journal, but we use a mindmap. As I've used mindmapping software and the concept is so damn useful, I can see this is such a big step forward in storytelling and storykeeping through a game. I advice you to both try this game, and also check what the hell is a mindmap and how can it help you in your projects.
