Supposedly for playing demos, but I'm not sure if there's a time played requirement...
I've put 20 minutes into the Gloomwood demo and haven't gotten a badge yet.

I think it's only play time in demos, not playing a certain amount of demos, we'll figure it out

No, it's NUMBER, not TIME: "Your Steam Summer Next Fest 2022 Badge
Play any demo from Next Fest to unlock a badge you can feature on your Steam Profile.
Level up your badge as you try out more demos."

Might be bugged atm, played 2 demos and got 0 badges.

Getting the badge seems to be broken.

edit: works now for me basically you'll have to play 10 demos to max out the badge

i guess you could use !addlicense (demoid) and !play (demoid)

Played a demo for over an hour while in invisible status, got nothing... closed the game, refreshed everything, tried again and still nothing.
Turned status to online, launched the demo a third time, got the badge.
Dunno if it was a coincidence or not, just thought I'd had to the topic.

Got the badge after a few minutes of playing You Suck at Parking! (sweet little game)
Now .. how many demos to level up the badge?

How can I actually PASTE something into asf console? CTRL+V or right mouse button won't work. And there is no obvious answer in any FAQ, really this soft is driving me crazy..

Just was doing them manually and got to 8, saw this thread downloaded asf and now got to lv47 in an instant. :)

Tempting, but I'd have to re-enable ASF for my main account just to do it, haha. My bot account can have 42 easy, though.

Thanks. Actually i know this commends but this time I does not see any result. Licences added, it says it farms them but there is no badge at last does not see it. I need to wait several minutes or it should work after seconds?
EDIT: Never mind. Found this badge and it says it is for plaryin 33 or more demos. But i though it will be some message when i get it :)

You see! This is why I love this community! Makes life so much easier for everyone. We get updates, we get tips and tricks. It's amazing!

You actually have to start a new game not just turn on the demo.

Very low effort looking badge. Not worth playing 10 demos.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was pretty easy for me to find 10 games I thought looked cool (I actually found 12). I love trying out demos.
Edit: they all sucked lmao. Well, not the one where you kick people. That was pretty fun.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've played 9, but for some reason Steam won't let me download any more, haha. I've tried like 4 or 5 others but clicking download demo just loads/reloads the store page for some reason... XP
Comment has been collapsed.
Ugh, that's so annoying. I had a similar thing happen to me while trying to download too many demos at once, but something like reloading the page fixed it. I hope you managed to play this demo. It's the game where you kick people I mentioned lol. It's the only one I've played that I'd recommend.
Comment has been collapsed.
Finally started working for me again, haha. Might try it, when I first saw the trailer I was pretty annoyed by how the kicking animation looks like it's sprouting from your shoulder or something, but maybe it'll be fun enough for me to overlook that painful animation, haha.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I'm glad! And yeah, it is kinda strange lol. The models in this game (player, enemies and npcs) are something else. I honestly can't tell what they are lol. There's something like a cutscene in the demo where you can see the leg and their bodies in full detail and it's something else, I gotta say. Do let me know how you like it if you feel like it!

some way to fake play demos, i dont have the internet to be downloading that much shit
Comment has been collapsed.
from my wishlist that showed demos.
Goblin and Coins II Demo - good
You Suck at Parking Demo - good
Pocket Wheels Demo - ok, camera is bad.
Swordship Demo - good
Played the above for a few min. Will likely play a couple more tomorrow. I see more I would like to play for a few min.

Goblin and Coins II Demo - good
Thank you very much for trying it. Knowing that at least some real people did it and not just bots is helping.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll be playing it soon too :D Is there new stuff in the demo since last playtest?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmmm... I think one level, and you don't need to jump from the ground to do doublejump anymore. Maybe some smaller things. Music.
There's more new levels in the regular branch, but demo was "cut off" at "enough content for a demo" line. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
What is this! I died and my respawn point was inside the tiny hole but I'm respawned full size! Bad developer! :p
Yes, I was trying to find the secret level, no succes :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Also is this supposed to be a "danger" symbol instead of an "eye" symbol, because I can't find anything there?
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll be replaying the first one on the steam deck. (once I have it, hopefully by end of Sept, I'm Q3 sometime)
And of course I'll buy and give the second one a go as well once it comes out.
Gotta support people who have done much for this site.
That's not the only reason..... They are good games too. 😄
💙 fixed the oversight..

Thanks! I hope the 2nd one will be better than the first game... and more fun. That's the goal.
GnC1 works just fine on Deck (native linux build), GnC2 should work when released too.

Ah, so this is why everyone has been downloading and playing demos, that was a confusing friend activity page.

I actually don't really care about the badge, but this is a nice incentive to check out some games.

It seems to have made a lot of developers feature having demos. I hope more take this up so we can try before we buy.

So I guess this one's gonna be a bit rougher on anyone without ASF huh XD
I'm gonna stick around here to see if anyone finds a max level.
Comment has been collapsed.
xp wise max is 100 at 10 games, text wise max is at 1029

Anyone have list of all 1029 demos to add? through asf
Comment has been collapsed.
I bet someone comes up with the necessary commands for ASF just wait and see ;)
On the other hand this shows how good marketing intentions like incentivizing developers to provide demos lead to unforeseen consequences. But that's nothing new with such events as the dudes at Steam simply don't have the imagination to predict consumer behavior.

You can't idle demos with Idle Daddy I've already tried. ASF reigns supreme ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes you can, you just need to go to "Games" -> "Idle Hidden/Non-Steam Game" & provide product ID for ex. 2000330 for Alaskan Truck Simulator
Here before you need also to add this game which you will idle: Games -> "+" & provide ID
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, just learned a new trick thanks for answering.
Comment has been collapsed.
First you need to add this game which you will idle in the app: Games -> "+" & provide ID
Later in the app: "Games" -> "Idle Hidden/Non-Steam Game" & provide product ID for ex. 2000330 for Alaskan Truck Simulator
You can idle/farm all your cards or add/activate games via this app, I'm using this for years and it's great
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm actually taking this chance to check out some new games (VNs). Out of 4 games Hush Hush is the only one added to my wishlist, I like the idea of the Crush Crush girls getting brutally murdered (no but for real it seems pretty solid).

How's your laptop did you succeed in replacing the panel any reaction from ASUS?
Comment has been collapsed.
They never replied. Since they shipped another screen with my computer I was able to replace it on my own no problem. It took a couple minutes and did not warrant having to pay them loads to do it, wipe my computer and ship it back with another broken screen :S
The downside is that the new screen doesn't have touch screen... I wanted to repair it so I could do math problems digitally instead of on paper since the touch broke when my screen did. So I'm back to pen and paper anyway. Lesson is: avoid official repairs, and never buy ASUS.
Comment has been collapsed.
Glad I'm not the only one who actually likes NextFest to discover new games and not just badges!
So far I haven't seen much that was more than embryonic.
Some demos not working at all and other total asset flips (why would you even make a demo for those?) but I'm only about 7 demos in.
It's cool though that games that have been in EA for a while like Hush Hush have demos. I have been let down by EA games too many times to buy them before they get a full release but demos are a good way for them to show where they are.
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean, you can't really play the EA of Hush Hush right now if you didn't back it I think. Maybe that is different from someone releasing a halfassed EA game and then forgetting about it. The demo was great though so to my tiny wishlist it goes.
The VN category for demos isn't that great... too short, mediocre stories, and of course the games that are half in Chinese from not being translated properly. Goodbye World seems to be the other only interesting one but it seems way too depressing for me to enjoy. I'm going to play more demos though, it's kind of fun to just explore new stuff.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm... I was going to try the demo of Goodbye World next. Now I don't know if I'm in the mood for it.
VN tend not to lend themselves well to demos for sure. Even if the game ends up good, the demo is usually mediocre.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's short and seems to do its thing well. But I have never been one for depressing stories, which it seems to be. I think the demo is worth trying anyway. I would play the game if I got it for free.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll definitely play the demo. I know technically any game on Steam has a demo since you can get a refund if you play less than 2 hours but I just love those little demo fest events where you see what's coming next.
I'm not really into depressing stories atm either but I guess I'll balance it with something light

I've also liked Necrosmith, Railbound, One Military Camp, and Terra Nil so far.

So far the only ones I tried that look like they'll be real games are
Midnight Fight Express and Signalis (this one is absolutely brilliant) but admittedly I have only browsed through the Action genre so far and a lot of duds wasted a lot of my time

whoa, both look cool! now i can't decide which one to play, hahah. so many choices! maybe i should play both :)

Heh they're not super long so you definitely should try both.
Loopmancer also is pretty fun if you needed a third :P

that looks nice. i try to avoid roguelite tho since i hate perma death, hahah. thanks again btw!
Comment has been collapsed.
There definitely is a loop element but I think some things change as well. They didn't spoil much in the demo obviously.
Comment has been collapsed.
I wishlisted a few after playing the demos:
- Cult of the Lamb (sort of a Binding of Isaac vibe where you start a cult to resurrect a dead god)
- Nine Sols (very slick looking Souls-like platformer)
- Railbound (casual puzzle game about linking rail cars in order to an engine)
- Hard West 2 (XCOM style strategy game set in a Wild West + Demons/Undead setting)
Comment has been collapsed.
i don't like turn-based strategy and avoid roguelikes, but nine sols and railbound look good enough for me. thanks for the recommendations!
Comment has been collapsed.
whoa, thanks for the list!
i can't make out what 24 killers is, although the ps aesthetic looks interesting to me. never played onion games tho so i don't know what is it.
dave the diver seems to be up to my taste. i always on the look for restaurant management + hunting material games, the ones like recettear but more casual.
paradise marsh look cute, although i'm not sure if i'll like it. i have been appreciating photography games recently, and since this one look similar (catching with a net instead of taking photo), maybe i'll like it too.
