I would highly suggest against playing Cat Goes Platform unless you want to go insane.

I think that one would take waaaaay too long even if you just leave the game running. Glad you found some other ones ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I will add them to the site and send you the links to the giveaways on the 31st with the rest of the people who just commented. And nope sorry, that one doesn't count :/
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess I'll start with Sam & Max: Season Two and Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse. And maybe add something else later.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't know how much time I have this month, but I added "Kero Blaster" and "Snake Pass" to the list. (I think I'm already halfway through with Snake Pass)
Hopefully I can at least finish one of them :)
EDIT: Finished both of them :)
Added Niche to the list. I don't know if it even has an end. Guess I will see :)
Comment has been collapsed.
For me personally I would say it's "okay". It's a polished game, very chill and cute, the music is nice and I enjoyed fiddeling with the weird controls :3 I played with a controller and haven't tried keyboard/mouse so far
Unfortunately I'm not that much into collecting stuff (even though I'm always doing it in assassins creed :D) and that's basically all what this game is about: Collecting crystals, coins, spirits, whatever, while struggeling with the strange snake controls :3
And the only reward you get for collecting 100% of the stuff in the game is a new skin ...so I don't really feel the urge to do it :(
Would I still recommend to play it? Yes, even if it's just to experience the controls. You don't get to play very often as a snake in games :3
And each time you climb some kind of wooden construct, it turns into it's own little puzzle where you have to think: "can I let go of this button without falling? Or should I wrap my tail around it one more time to be sure?".
And if you enjoy collecting stuff and 100%ing games just for the sake of it, I'm pretty sure you would have a good time with it :)
I hope this helps :)

**sneaks in to reserve a spot to post my games
June was a good month, but I'll probably won't be getting much done this July which'll fit the theme as I've just won Dishonored 2 here and still need to play the first Dishonored game before I get to that one
I do like the theme though
edit> I do actually have to add DIshonored 2 through the website right? because there is no subcategory for SG win backlog
Comment has been collapsed.
Dishonored is soooo good! You should totally play it. :)
And then the DLC, and then Dishonored 2. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
A long time ago I bought Dishonored from GMG, but then decided I'd like to have all the DLC as well so I started buying those whenever they got a good enough discount (which was rare). Finally I got tired of waiting so I just doubled down and bought the Definitive Edition heyooo
Then I heard about D2 coming and decided I'd wait with playing D1 until I could get that somewhere with a nice discount as well so I could play them back to back, and now 3 years later I finally have the opportunity to do it thanks to a generous Steamgifts user
So yeah, first thing I'm doing after I beat Postal II is fire up D1 and 2 ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Eh I would put Dishonored 2 under "Games about love / hate / romance" - brutally murdering people is close enough to hate right? And while I never played it (I disliked what I played of the first one :( but I seem to be the minority ) I can only assume there is some love/hate going on somewhere in the story line.
Comment has been collapsed.
With that mindset it could fit under "Games with surgery theme" as well as I'm going to be performing a lot of phlebotomies :D
Stealth is my top favorite genre so I'm definitely going to enjoy these games.
You really sure I should add them under those categories? I feel it's a little too far fetched but I'm not the one making up the rules here ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I will ask Kyrrelin what she thinks since she came up with the theme and she knows how far fetched she imagined the subcategories and if she is fine with it, I am fine with it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
As I am BIG fan of Dishonored I say yes, you can! ;)
Also, you can possess rats and fishes in the game, so it counts as playing as an animal tag too. :)
Edit: Oh, we were talking about the second game. XD Same rules, you can possess animals. And we can't forget whales!!!!
Hope you will enjoy it! I love Dishonored so much, 170hours and still counting! :D
Edit: Second game is good too, but first one is master piece. ;) I have yet to play the third one.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well technically we're talking about both as I was waiting for a good sale on D2 so I could play 1 and 2 back to back but then I won it in a GA here (yay!)
Honestly had no idea you could possess animals, tried to avoid as much spoilers as I could all these years so the game is still fresh, i'm very good at that. But in that case I'll add them both under that category :D
Thank you, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to enjoy these game, absolutely love stealth games

Okay as I'm mostly done with my animal games, I added some for the "heart" part for the second half of the month 😁
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I went through my wins and simply listed all that qualify so here goes:
- Snake Pass
- Armello
- Faerie Solitaire Remastered
- Solitaire Club
- The Mims Beginning
Comment has been collapsed.
Faerie Solitaire Remastered also gives the base Faerie Solitaire, if you are so inclined to play that too :)
Comment has been collapsed.
No way I'll ever get to all of them, but here's the to-do list. Let's see how much of them I can actually shave off...
- Winter Novel (VN) - DONE
- Bionic Heart (VN)
- The Agency: Chapter 2 (VN)
- Timbertales (Games where you play as animal - I think?)
- Foxtail (Games where you play as animal)
- Home Sheep Home 2 (Games where you take care of animals (zoo, farm...))
- Animal Herding (Games where you take care of animals (zoo, farm...)) - BROKEN SHIT-NO WAY JOSE
Comment has been collapsed.
Best of luck!
Timbertales - if you don't play as an animal it sure looks like they are at least some kind of your "companions" so I am pretty sure you are good to go with this one.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, you play as animals so I got that right, yay! But during the second 'real' story mission it tried connecting to Steam servers (dunno why), failed and after 2 retries it continued but no longer allowed me to move my units, so I have to restart it all over again. And I couldn't properly close the game either, had to do it the "dirty" way.
Not exactly good first impressions, but I'll give that mission a second try later after I'm over the frustration of having to re-do very slow TBS stuff due to such a silly issue.
EDIT: Animal Herding is broken, you cannot pass mission 4. So deleting that one since completion is impossible (even if the game was super-boring so no loss). Seems my entries so far are super-buggy :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Awwwww shame about the games :( I really hope you have better luck with the rest :/
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, aboooooout that.
I guess I should join this challenge more often since the last 3 days Steamgifts has been.
"NOPE. Neptunia time. NOPE. Have Half-Life 2. Still think you got time? Have Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Participate this!"
So it's going to be a thoughy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, completed a second just in the nick of time. Does the site actually informs you, or should we still report here? Or it does but you still like a reply?
I noticed the table above already lists 2 completed games, while I only updated it a few minutes ago. Made me curious.
Got less done this month than expected due to spending most of it on a recent wishlisted win... First World Issues, eh?
Comment has been collapsed.
I will check for the next 2 days if anyone changed the status/added anything myself so no need to inform me. If you need anything changed starting on August the 2nd you will have to inform me as I will have to do that manually as the site prevents people from editing anything once the event is over (it ends on August 1st to account for different time zones).
I checked all games marked as "unfinished" earlier(30 minutes ago) in case anyone else forgot to mark anything and approved a couple of those (yours being one of them). I did just notice that the site was reporting the wrong playtime/achievements as you got them after the last update was ran so I ran it again. It is now showing it correctly on the site. I however I will only update the leadarboard tomorrow to prevent me from having to update it 100x as little changes like this come in.
If you have any more questions please ask away!
The important is that you enjoyed your time with the game ^^

Congrats on beating a win for July is a "play a game you won on Steamgifts" month, in the chaos it was last month I don't remember if I told you that you can join the group or not, sorry, so I will do it now just in case:
you can request to join the group here if you want.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, you did, didn't send a request yet though. Won a wishlisted game yesterday which semi-fits (Neptunia is kinda VN), but a win 1 day ago is hardly backlog.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hello, first timer joining the event. Seems like fun! I only have one SG win that seems relevant, but it's one I've meant to go back and finish for a while, so...
SG win:
- Shadow Bug: Play as an animal (ninja bug). I've almost completed it so it kind of feels like cheating but the last boss is REALLY hard and I need the motivation. :P
Backlog:
- Cultist Simulator: Card game in which you can
play asbecome an animal. Also has romance options. I'll try for a victory that combines the two before I call it "beaten" (even though I've completed several other paths already). - Rise of the Tomb Raider: In which Lara Croft hunts animals for experience. Because killing like a thousand bad guys isn't enough.
- Blacksea Odyssey: Hunting eldritch space whales. 'Nuff said.
- Love is Dead: A couple is so in love that their minds survive becoming zombies. Naturally, they set out to find their lost pets, Catface and Dogface. Ridiculously adorable.
- Snakeybus: Animal in the name. Plays like the classic Snake... but you're a bus.
If I come up with others that fit the theme, should I edit them into this post or start a new reply? (He says, having edited two in already.) (And another two I got from the Steam Sale.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Welcome! ^^
I wish you the best of luck with the boss!
Damn, Cultist Simulator is a combo of themes o.o You can just edit them in ^^ I would just like to have them listed somewhere in case something fails on the site so I can add any possibly missing new ones back myself :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Status report:
SG win:
- Shadow Bug: Beaten! Turns out I wasn't even close to the last boss. SO MANY LASERS WHY
Backlog (not SG wins):
- Blacksea Odyssey: Verified, never got the chance to play. It's a hard roguelike though, probably wouldn't have beaten it anyway.
- Cultist Simulator: Beaten! I've beaten it before, so this time I combined as many themes as I could into a single ascension type, one I hadn't done before. So: Change ascension (in which one sheds one's skin to become a mythical beast) alongside my undead lover. Cult and beloved were of Heart aspect, just for icing on the cake.
- Love is Dead: Beaten! May go back for completion, but there's one achievement that won't fire.
- Rise of the Tomb Raider: Verified, played a lot, but forgot how long it is. Still, got through the Baba Yaga storyline which might be the most fun I've ever had in a Tomb Raider game, so I'm happy with it.
- Snakeybus: Beaten? Unlocked everything, placed at the bottom of the weekly highscore list. If I get a top highscore and/or the final achievement I'll call it completed, but I feel this is good enough for a "win".

Octodad for now, also started Snakes pass, but the completionist in me won't move on to the 3rd stage until I get all those shiny coins.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, since JYDGE is described as a "roguehate top-down shooter", it seems like it would fit the "games about hate" theme. ;)
Or, on a much darker note, one could argue that the game's cybernetic JYDGEs view their task of violently eradicating crime as them hunting animals for the "games where you hunt animals" theme.
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, that is dark. But sure, you can add that under "games about hate" and you better play it! :P
Comment has been collapsed.
Just beat Jydge, and updated the site. Surprisingly, there's an achievement for beating the 3rd act, but not one for beating the 4th and final act. Weird. Regardless, I'll likely go back to play some more, and see if I can do a second playthrough for the "good" ending.
The game was pretty fun. Starting out, it wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be like. But the more I played, the more the game opened up, and the more fun it became. I'm not necessarily happy with the pacing and default level gating mechanics (there is an optional way around that), but I did really enjoy the challenges and how they forced me out of my preferred playstyle and into alternative styles - like having to rush through levels instead of being sneaky and stealthy.
Comment has been collapsed.
Approved! I also approved it for PA yesterday already. That is very strange o.o I am very glad you overall liked the game and best of luck if you indeed go for a second playthrough :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, it's one of those rare games that gets better the more you play. When I first started playing, I was really disappointed. I seriously wondered if I had made a mistake in winning it, as it was not at all what I thought it was going to be like. The beginning was rather dull and boring. But then you get some fun abilities, then more fun abilities, then even more fun abilities, and even as the challenge escalates you find you have the tools to overcome them. I meant to play for just a bit last night, but the "one more level / one more challenge" hook sank in, and I ended up playing for 2 hours until I beat it.
Thanks again. :)

Goat simulator or Zeno Clash (have crabs in game screenshots)
The question is.. how did I "complete" Goat simulator?
Comment has been collapsed.
Zeno Clash - no idea if that one counts, I guess play and see under which subcategory fits best (my guess probably either Games where you hunt animals or Games where you have animal as a companion)
Complete? Get all the achievements in it. Simiply beat? Dunno play for a couple of hours till you get tried of it and get some achievements. That should be enough :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I think yea, the enemies are animals like giant crabs
Can I try to play first? If there's none then I'll change into Goat Simulator
Yep beaten I guess
Because it's free roam comedy, parody-ish game I don't know where's the finish line
Haha 5 hours okay xD
Comment has been collapsed.
If there is enemy crabs then you can put it under "Games where you hunt animals" yes. Yes of course :)

I would like to play "Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan".

All I am learning from this months even is that you people have won some really really weird games :D

Yeah and thanks to this event we can try all these games ;-P
That could also be a category for one of the next months, just pick a weird game and play it :D
Comment has been collapsed.
just setting up the chart at the moment..
hopefully I'll be able to do something later in the month, because not only I'm still fighting with the usual unresolved pc issues but also with my internet connection which at the moment is basically non-existent and downloading anything is a real pain.... :C

ps: managed to rack up a few more achievements in Draw a Stickman Epic 2 yesterday, just before the end of the month; I'm positive I can get to 100% soon :D

Ouch :( hope you manage to get that resolved soon :/ Is it just with Steam or in general?
And congrats on the now 100% :)

moved to a new house a week ago, new phone contract should've been already fully functional: phones are working fine, but internet connection is really a blast from to the past, cause it's pretty much a 56k where it should be at least a 7M..
I really hope they fix it asap :S
ps: yep, 100% done! ^_^
Comment has been collapsed.
Hope the move when well otherwise! fingers crossed for the internet :)
I took a quick look through your wins and if the interent doesn't happen soon I guess Sakura Fantasy should be pretty small to download (don't have that one myself, but the other 3 I have are all decently small downloads).
Comment has been collapsed.
everything fine, thanks ;)
still some boxes scattered around, but we're almost done
as for the event, still half an hour to complete a download, will update the chart later when it's ready to go ;)

added another game, which is quite small, hopefully in a couple of hours it should be ready xD
and I still have to idle the previous one for cards :V

I'm so glad the website is working as intended !
- Snake Pass
- Where is my Heart
- Tadpole Treble
- Last Days of Spring
As usual I may add some more as the month go, let's see !

What is the current policy on the playtime limits in previously started games? I have about 22 hours in Niche from the June challenge, but I'm pretty far from beating it. HLTB and astats have no useful info and based on what I could gather from discussions about the game, the time of the first campaign playthrough is heavily based on the playstyle. The spread is like from 10 to 70 hours I think. My playstyle is very very slow thorough. :)
And the game does fit this month's theme perfectly.
EDIT: So I'll play
- Niche - a genetics survival game
- Ultimate Chicken Horse
Comment has been collapsed.
Well usually mouse is pretty generous with that., Have you beaten the game? If the anwser is no, then it is okay to play it. If it's your only entry for this month there should be at least a quarter of the game still left to finish ( or something like that, if I remember correctly.
And you've only got 7/31 achievements. So I think you are save and can play the game.

That was when Skanda was running the event. I just say be fair about it and don't play something you are going to finish right after you start the game back up again.
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for your input! Mouse is indeed very generous with the game-playing policies! I'm adding the game :)

As long as you don't have like 5 minutes left in the game to finish feel free to add it in :)

I'll re-check later. Dark Maus (animals), Pyre ( Visual Novel, at least parts), maybe even Apotheon if there are mythical animals in it. Also Downfall very likely have Love/hate/romance. I'll see, but I still need to play The Cat Lady, soo...

Shame The Cat Lady is not a SG win, it would fit perfectly :)

Yeah. Trying to co-manage the PoP group, BLAEO and your topic too, because it's good to participate. Plus finally feeling a bit more free.. time to actually get on track and try to focus on things and getting them done :)

Ugh PoP, I literally have no idea when I will manage to get my picks from there done this month :/ Enjoy the gaming time ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Even though I played a few titles recently that fit the bill, I have more left than I thought. I'd really like to try Impossible Creatures, but not sure I'll have the time for that one. More doable: Do Not Feed the Monkeys, Super Rude Bear, ABZU, Dusty Revenge, Nyan Cat, Jumpjet Rex. Not sure if Toby: The Secret Mine qualifies since I'm not sure if he's and animal or not, or if Day of the Tentacle will work as it's only a part of an animal :)
Edit: Added Squidlt and Toby: The Secret Mine to my goals, but completion for Impossible Creatures is not looking good for this month. Just too much involved, including being more rusty than I thought at RTS games and not really inclined to re learn all those keyboard shortcuts. I will still try for the end of July, but I'm not optimistic.
Comment has been collapsed.
Toby: The Secret Mine
Doesn't look human to me (actually technically humans are animals too.... hmmmmmmmmmm yea not counting humans in, too easy), so I would say it fits
Day of the Tentacle will work as it's only a part of an animal
Close enough :)

Going with Teddy Floppy Ear - The Race and Enigmatis 2: The Mists of Ravenwood for this month!

And... complete! In the nick of time :D
Not sure if I'm supposed to update this to let you know, hope you don't mind :)
Comment has been collapsed.
All you need to do is mark it as "completed" on the site and I will get to it and approve it (I check them once a day, so it takes 24 hours max) :) I would just do it by myself right now, but I would have to run the playtime update script so it will get all the achievements and that takes a while and I want to go to sleep right now. If you don't mind I will approve it tomorrow when I get home from work (the giveaway run for a while longer anyways).
And so I don't forget: congrats on completing it! You can request to join the steam group if you wish to do so :)

Thanks very much :)
Updated the status on the site and applied for the group!

One more question, sorry! The giveaways mentioned in the OP, such as Bridge Constructor Portal - where will I find those?

Check the event page again for a box with a pink background right on top :) FAQ if you still have trouble finding it. And no worries, you are not the first and probably not the last to ask :)

One last thing - I notice all the GAs have the warning about the list of eligible entrants, so should I wait until my name is listed before I join them?

DmC: Devil May Cry in "Games about love / hate / romance".
Not sure if Batman: Arkham City GOTY would count for this month's theme...

I would really love to join in! I joined SG about 3 Months ago and have looked over this thread last couple of months but never been brave enough to join in!I have a few games I would like to try but not sure how much time i will have (kids finish school soon).
I would like to try
Scribblenauts Unlimited - (Has animals in it - think they are companions - well you can ride a TRex!)
Minit (kill animals)
Mystery of Unicorn Castle - The Beastmaster - (animal in title)
Divide by Sheep (Play as animals and has animal in title)
Only Scribblenauts is a SG win, others are just normal steam backlog. Was so pleased when i won this as one! Added to webpage. I hope the game counts!

I want to play Fault - Milestone One.

Hey, I’m new to SG and this event sounds like a lot of fun ^-^ Since I haven’t won anything yet, I have to enter with some neglected games from my library. Is it okay to just start with one and add more games later?
Playing
- Card Quest
- The First Tree (play as animal)
- Baba Is You (play as animal)
Maybe added later...
- Thronebreaker (card game)
- Seasons after Fall (play as animal)
- The Wolf Among Us (title) and
- Rise of the Tomb Raider (hunt).
Thanks for doing all this for the community :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Welcome to SG and the event! ^^
Yes, you can add games in at any time! Even after you started playing it already if you happen to figure out that it actually matches the theme and you didn't know about it earlier :) It just need to be played in July, that's it :)
All the games fit the theme nicely so you can play any of those. And most importantly: enjoy them! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, cool, thanks :) One more question... Since the first one is a card game, I'm not quite sure when to mark it as "beaten". Completed means I got all the achievements, right? (Those card games tend to be quite big - in Slay The Spire I got just 43% in 44 hours :D) So in order to beat it... do I just play until I feel like I got most out of it?
Comment has been collapsed.
So in order to beat it... do I just play until I feel like I got most out of it?
I really need to add this to my FAQ, I literally just got asked the same question by someone else too.
If you don't mind I will just copy paste what I told someone yesterday:
Play till you feel like you are done with it and happy with your progress. Another way it can be done is playing it about the time people said on average is to beat "the main story" on HowLongToBeat.
In your case https://howlongtobeat.com/game.php?id=47643 -> Main Story 24 Hours
But as the first sentence says, if you feel like you already got everything you wanted out of the game and you are happy with it and feel like the HLTB time is too high you can always mark it as beaten earlier, I don't mind :)
Completed is 100% achievements yes. I don't expect anyone to do that, but if someone does there is an option for them to mark it as that :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Good idea to clarify this in the FAQ :) Thank you for the info. Really looking forward to this! ^-^

I shall try to do it soon :) And no problem, if you have any more questions about the event or SG in general please don't hesitate to ask :)

Nice avatar/logo. :D
Dreamfall Chapters was my favorite point-and-click of all time, and one of my favorite games of all-time.
I liked the first two also, but DFC took me from a casual fan to a raving fan. =)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hah, thanks :D You’re the second person I meet here who loves the series :3
The Longest Journey was the first game I bought from my own money as a child and the story just blew me away. I actually waited years to finish it, because I never wanted it to end :D So it will always have this special place in my heart ^-^ Tbh nowadays I rarely ever play adventure games.. I really enjoyed DFC though! Loved seeing all those beloved characters again - especially Crow <3

- Purrfect Date - it's just a purrfect game for this month, isn't it? xD
- Bunnyrama - I wasn't farming cards, there was a bug which didn't give me achievements, but I'm still at very early of the game
- Hollow Knight - Yes, insects are animals. I already played it for a while, but have been interrupted many times :-( I hope this will help me finally to complete this amazing game

Thanks, you just reminded me I can 100% (or at least try) Purrfect Date this month, I completely forgot about it :)

Already got great suggestions, but I'm leaving my original message here just because. :)
Might as well continue taking part. I have a handful of games with animal companions but have already beat them all. So I'd appreciate it if anyone passing by has played something from the list below and could give me a hint if anything fits one of the animal themes.

Jurassic Park sounds fine to me. :)

D'oh, I can't believe I just overlooked that one... Should've been obvious. :D

You can go with Jurassic park of course. ;)
Also, as I said up playing Dishonored is fine too. :)
Witcher is good option too as you hunt monsters and animals. Maybe even S.T.A.L.K.E.R. where you have to kill mutated animals.
Have fun with whatever games you choose! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeeees, finally an excuse to dive into Dishonored 2! >:D Thank you, will definitely go with that and then see how much time I have left for others. Ideally want to beat couple games to keep my streak going but I also don't want to rush too much.

At first I thought that I don't have any single one game about animals, only visual novels. Only today I realized that girls in NEKOPARA have cat ears 😁
So, I'll go with
NEKOPARA Extra — game about any kind of animal;
XBlaze Code: Embryo — visual novel
Comment has been collapsed.
Well also "neko" is "cat" in Japanese (I think?) so it also fits under games with animals in the name :)

fockyeah, I've completed my huge VN (Xblaze) finally! 21 hours, what a relief..
Anyway, I added 3 more new games: Super Panda Adventures, BAD END (vn) & These night in Cairo (vn). Not sure I'd have enough time for all though plus I kinda tired of VNs at the moment..
And a question: can I add the game I won in PA group?
Comment has been collapsed.
Congrats! That is a long VN o.o
I approved the 3 new games and I will take a look/approve the completed game very shortly :)
Any game won on SG is fine (I will even count games won via SG events as long as proof is provided), so yes you can add it :)

Yup. Just needed a visual novel mode implying a badger that performs surgery while playing cards. Then we'd have a jackpot.
Joke aside, I'm quite curious about potential games that actually checked all the marks in the previous months. If there were any.

As far as I know there haven't been any. There have been a few that ticked a lot of boxes but never all of them.

Still dunno which game Imma play, not sure how much of Terraria my brother and I will be able to play. We restarted a new world towards the end of last month. My other option is The Flame in the Flood, we'll see. haha
| Game | Achievements | Playtime | Theme | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Love is Dead | 32/36 | 10.4 hrs | Game about animals / Animal hunting | Beaten |
The game's premise is about reuniting with your pets (mentioned nearly every level) after you've been zombified, meanwhile interacting with various other pancake-animals on the way.
Also just noticed Pete joined this month! Had to do a double triple take, that's awesome. :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I have enjoyed Flame in the Flood, it's nice survival game with lot of things to do. ;)
You hunt animals and even have an animal companion, so it fits the theme perfectly. :)

Maybe Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition? I think it fits in the Games about any kind of animal or play as animal, what do you think?

Reply to this comments with your ideas for September's theme.
Comment has been collapsed.
September 13th is the 256th day of the year, that's why it's the Day of the Programmer, so my suggestion is a theme about programming :)
Hello World!
- Programming
- Hacking
- Cyberpunk
- Games about artificial intelligence
- Games about robots or androids
- Typing games
- Moddable games (Steam tag)
- Puzzles
- Wins with points value being a power of two (1P, 2P, 4P, 8P, 16P, 32P)
Comment has been collapsed.
For how long did you have this prepared for already? :D
I approve of the theme greatly :)

For a few days in my txt file :p
And for almost a month in my mind :D

I would greatly approve of this theme if I had any win that would fit in any of the categories, but I don't think I have :(
Comment has been collapsed.
You have a couple :)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat has Moddable tag
Homeworld Remastered Collection has Moddable tag
Faerie Solitaire has Puzzle tag
Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI has Moddable tag
7 Wonders: Treasures of Seven has Puzzle tag
I was using the DoYouEvenPlayBro script to check which of your wins are played/not played
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay I did not check for the moddable tag that's true. I'm playing Faerie Solitaire for this month already. And I totally forgot that I had another one of the 7 Wonders games. So you've convinced me. I approve :)
Comment has been collapsed.
The 22nd of September is the birthday of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins and it's celebrated as the "Hobbit day".
My suggestion is:
"The Fellowship Of The Ring"
- Games based on novels/movies
- Story rich
- Fantasy
- Adventure
- Medieval
- RPGs
- Hack & Slash
- Mining
- Games containing mythical creatures (e. g. Elves, Dwarves, Wizards, Dragons)
- Games about friendship/fellowship
- Games where you won the Soundtrack
Comment has been collapsed.
That's a great theme too. I have to say that because of my screenname, just kidding

Back to School
(because learning can be fun too) (disclaimer: you may or may not actually learn anything from these games)
- Games which take place in a school or library
- Games where the protagonist is a student or teacher
- Games with books as a prominent theme
- Tags: Education, Text-Based, Interactive Fiction, Choose Your Own Adventure, Visual Novel, Based on a Novel, Word Game, Historical, Science, Spelling, Typing
"Choose Your Own Adventure" might seem a bit out-of-place, but the genre is named after a series of books, so it counts. :P
Also, if you're wondering about "Typing"...I had to take a typing class in middle school (around 2006-ish, so all of us already knew how to type lol). I don't know if they still make kids do that. I hope not.

This is a great suggestion and it actually fits perfectly for where I live because school starts on the 1st of September :)

Education
i like this one!
those tags are very "flexible" and i'd also add "hacking" (or all Ardiffaz ones :P) and CC (closed captions) to the mix.
edit: also, long time lazy me want to ask you this
have you ever considered an "only gifter" membership for your Group?

I can add a separate option in the poll with those added on top :)
Not really because I don't pay attention to what is who entering for but if you want to join in I can make an exception, just don't make me dust off my ban hammer ;)
And edit before anyone comes at me asking the same thing for themselves: this is an one-off offer for someone I trust enough not to cheat me and because they have given over 1k giveaways to the other group I am admin in.

Except for that one the votes are pretty balanced this time around :o

The stupid thing is that the game ran a lot lot better on Linux than Windows for me. That sure doesn't happen every day.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well you know what they say:
linuxmasterrace (the picture is supposed to go here but SG dont work like that)
But yeah it's mostly the other way around, I can't even play Hyper Light Drifter due to some critical Linux only bug which they can't be arsed to fix so now I play it through Proton
Comment has been collapsed.
Linuxmasterrace indeed :D
Yep :( the best ones are the ones that have a Linux depot on Steam but is actually empty. Like why? Why are you making me click 2 more buttons to enable Proton. The first world problems.
Edit: or where the base game runs on Linux but some of the DLC does not... Looking at you Borderlands 2
Comment has been collapsed.
I've never seen that myself but I've seen people mentioning it yeah, like how, as a dev, do you forget to upload your whole game lol
At this point I'd rather have no Linux support at all instead of the half assed attempts some dev studios deliver sometimes
When I first tried to play Hyper Light Drifter I spent an hour or two trying to debug why it wasn't working and attempting to solve it while I could've spent those 2 hours actually playing by just enabling Proton from the getgo
Comment has been collapsed.
I must have be super unluckly then because I found 2 of them last month alone and I might have called a dev incompetent over it out of annoyance. No regrets.
I admire your persistence at actually trying to fix it. Shame that the solution ended up just not playing the Linux version. the Games like this simply get thrown in my shame pile (to be fair most of them are games that just don't work with Proton) to rot till I can be bothered to start up Windows (which hasn't happened since March sooooooo probably not happening any time soon either)
Comment has been collapsed.
No regrets needed imo, I think it's completely fair to call someone incompetent when they forget to upload their entire game
I admire your persistence
I think it had to do with the fact that I just couldn't accept that a game I've been looking forward to for years and actually bought for full price through Humble had serious issues which made it impossible for me to play.
There's no way I could get myself to put HLD under the "NOPE" category (which functions as my shame and trash pile) in my steam library haha
I exclusively run Debian since 2 years now so whatever game doesn't run on Linux or via Proton might as well be dead to me hmm
Do still have W7 on my old PC so if there's something I'd REALLY REALLY want to play I could always try to see if that thing still works lol, hasn't been plugged in for more than 5-6 years though
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough, I am glad it actually worked fine with Proton then at least. It would have been even more awful if it wouldn't.
I been using Mint (I am ready to get judged for that :D I would kinda like to try Manjaro out but I haven't got around doing that yet) on my laptop since 2015ish and now on my desktop as well since March. I was gonna keep using Win7 on my desktop but long story short there are no Win7 USB drivers for my new motherboard and I am sure as hell not installing Win10 on it. I was and still am perfectly happy with switching to full time Linux anyways.
I do also still have my old PC that can run Win 7 but I have no reason to boot into it at all.

No judging from me because Mint is totally fine. Every distro that works for you is a good Linux. except maybe Hannah Montana Linux or TempleOS (though only Linux in spirit), if you use those as your daily driver you might have some issues
I'm sure that you already know but you can just run Manjaro off an old usb you have laying around, easy to testdrive other distros
not installing Win10 on it
That's the whole reason I started looking into Linux, i had the same opinion on W10 as you hahah
Comment has been collapsed.
What about Red Star OS? :D But I guess you might have very different issues if you are using that one.
Yep, I knew, but making a bootable USB and then going into BIOS to change the boot order takes too much effort for my liking I never claimed that I am not lazy. Plus if I end up liking it then I have to put even more effort into backing everything up and reinstalling everything :/ Someday... :D
Worst part is that I am stuck with Win10 at work everyday >.> Don't think there has been a single day that something made by Microsoft didn't manage to crash or fuck up. But I guess since we use Skype for business that is not really hard to achieve :D

If I could get access to the NK intranet in some weird magic way by firing up RedStar I would actually try it out on my old laptop but without that access there's no point
Imagine shitposting Kim memes everywhere without consequences, glorious
backing everything up
If you have your /home on a diff partition could you not just wipe the others and be fine? Though obviously I would NEVER recommend trying that without creating a full backup lol, way too risky
You'd still have to reinstall your software but atleast the user configs will be fine
Skype
Didn't that at one point have some sort of functional Linux build somewhere? I remember reading about it
Comment has been collapsed.
AFAIK it is only available in Koran so that might be a little bit of a problem unless you speak it.... but I guess terminal commands are always pretty much the same no matter the language.... hmmmm
Oh man, that would be hilarious :D
I don't. Not that I didn't try it. I did but it didn't actually want to let me do that when I was installing it. I don't remember what the issue was anymore.
Normal Skype works decently well (I am actually in a video call right at this moment), it is just missing some features over Win10 version (but the Win7 version of it doesn't have them either). Skype for Business I have no idea, never looked into it.

I doubt there is easy access to a terminal emulator though, that would give the user too much freedom to access system internals. I'd love to have a look around though. Version 1.0 is available for download and I've been tempted before haha
Isn't it a bit conflicting to use closedsource Microsoft spyware on your glorious free Linux box though? 8)
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough.
Please tell me something that allows you to video call for both Linux and Windows and I will happily try it out. Trust me, I tried just about anything I could and everything worked worse than Skype (which is honestly an achievent). I for sure wouldn't be using Skype if I had a choice.

I know Slack has it but I have to be honest and say that I don't personally do video calls so don't have any experience with it and don't know about any other alternatives either
Also I don't really like Slack because it's a humongous resource hog, but hey it's widely used and a pretty solid app so worth a try if you haven't yet
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks! I will take a look at it! Didn't know it has video call capability.

Does it have to be a game I won here in July? Because I failed to win in June so...
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm still new to PAGYWOSG but you can just play any SG win that fits the July theme. It doesn't have to be a game you won in June/July
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah it doesnt matter when you won the game. If it was like that sadly I think this event would have alot less people joining in if any
Comment has been collapsed.
You already got an answer but just to confirm: the games can be won at any point in time, they just have to fit the theme which is "Lion's heart" this month :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I would say yes, he is cute and looks like kitten int that cat suit. ;D
But better to wait for approval from Mouse to be safe. ;)

I am not even going to question what is going on in that one, have fun! :D
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, after getting all 15 achievements, I can state that not that lot of fucking despite what people may think or the store page indicates. More like Eyes Wide Shut meeting Lovecraft in a walking simulator and little gameplay beyond some standard fare hide and seek.
It was okay. Not particularly engaging, but worth what I paid. Plus the mansion aesthetics, even beyond the erotic art, is just great, the level designers put a lot of work into the game. Since it is a walking simulator, at least it had to look pretty. ^_^

I am not sure if I am disappointed about hearing that or not :D
Glad it wasn't too bad :) I will add it in with the rest of the "comment" games to the website at the end of the month :)

Asking just to make sure: would you like any giveaway links for this month?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, I don't think I'll ever need them. I just like the spirit of this little challenge. I stopped entering giveaways almost two years ago.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough, I just like to give everyone the option :) And I was not aware of that, I just thought you probably didn't enter that many.
Comment has been collapsed.
Games where you TAKE CARE of animals
Games where you HUNT animals
That was fast.

Hi I have a question, is the win you choose have to be a game that you have never played before, or is a win you are playing eligible too?
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey! As long as don't have like 5 minutes left before you beat it wins you have been playing already count too :)
Comment has been collapsed.
First completion, not that hard when the game is 45m long.
Maybe I can make it like this (no I won't)
Comment has been collapsed.
That is fast :) I will approve it on the site shorty (not that does anything much yet since there won't be any giveaways up for a few more days).

Greetings from another summer month. :)
I want to ask a general question since sooner or later i'll be in the position, maybe even in this month who knows. One of them is "What do you think about games that already beaten but going for another walkthroughs?". And the other is "What about games that cannot be beaten easily since they don't have an end?".
Examples: A visual novel game with 15 endings but you can only get 1 achievement when you finish the game. I wanted go for other endings for a long time and this seems a perfect time for it but dang, it's already beaten. :)
For future reference: A truck simulator game with literally no end. Or any games fit this situation. Even you can complete the achievements but you cannot beat the game. :)
I wonder what do you think about these? (I don't know if these are already asked in the past though.)
Have a great July.
Comment has been collapsed.
What do you think about games that already beaten but going for another walkthroughs?
Hm that is a bit hard one. If there is more achievements/endings to be gained I would say sure, go for it. Also I might be OK with it if there are no other SG wins that fit the theme anymore to be played. Otherwise I would say rather not so other wins can get some love too.
What about games that cannot be beaten easily since they don't have an end?
Play till you feel like you are done with it and happy with your progress. Another way it can be done is playing it about the time people said on average is to beat "the main story" on HowLongToBeat.
I hope that answered your question well enough, if you have anything more specific in mind please let me know! :)
You too! ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you very much for the reply.
When you say if there are other games, I started to check my backlog to see if there is any. And I believe I found one: Reus
I hope it fits the theme somehow since it has animals. :)
Otherwise, my other wins that fit the theme are visual novels I beat before. 2 of them still have endings to explore though.
Also I checked HLTB for American Truck Simulator and that made me giggle. How can one beat a truck simulator with a giant map in 22 hours. :)
Last part: This seems a long shot to me but Stronghold Crusader 2 has farms in it. If those 2 fit the theme, I would love to go with them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Reus is perfect choice! So many cute animals there! :D
It would be hard for you to decide when the game got beaten. If I remember correctly there is some kind of campaing (in the achievements it would be the third era I think...) and then you can play freely and try to achieve specific goals.
I have completed everything in 99 hours. XD
I can only recommend it! Such nice and calm game. Hope you will have fun! :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed, the cutest god game I've ever played. :)
Thanks for the info. I'll keep in mind that third era thing since I'm just playing for now without any concern. Probably won't try to complete all the achievements (at least for now) but I want to play it till I got bored. 99 hours is quite a long time though.
Thanks, I hope I'll have fun. Have a nice day. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
You are welcome! :)
I have really enjoyed it and played it few times more after I opened all achievements. Also I have noticed that I am rather slow player as almost everyone complete their games faster than me. XD
Feel free to tell how you liked it, when you are done. ;) Thanks, You too! :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, you can say it's really a good game if you still play it after getting all the achievements. :)
I'd love to talk about if I don't forget what we talked here. My memory is goody for quite some time, so I hope I won't forget. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Kyrrelin already gave you the blessing for Reus and I will give you one for Stronghold Crusader 2. Literally the 2nd screenshot on the store page has horses, I guess you can count them as your companions :)
As for ATS: yea good luck getting anything done in 22 hours :D I have 80 hours in it and while I do have 100% the achievements I am nowhere done with it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Added both of them. Not sure about Crusader since I love RTS games and do 1 hour missions in 2 hours, it will take time. (Imagine how I play Anno games.) :D
But I'll try to beat Reus in this month, relatively short at least.
80 hours is quite short actually, that means ATS is easier than ETS2. Well SCS keep adding achievements with every new expansion though, so until the map is complete, there is no end. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Approved both :) If it happens it happens, if not you tried at least! :)
It is, if not for anything else there is no damn achievement to 100% explore the map >.> (I actually have it, don't even ask how long it took because I did it with all the DLC except the Baltics one)
Oh yea, I always look forward to new places to drive through, my wallet not so much :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I also would've done that if I didn't forget to backup my save before format (nearly 150 hour worth of exploring). :/
And the worst part is, two weeks later they added cloud support. But this time i'll kinda cheat, they asked for this. I'll buy two garage from far edges of the map and keep fast travelling until I get my previous wealth. :D
Sales are good time to get expansions.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ouch D: It took them way too long to ad cloud saves... I had mine backed up on Dropbox just in case anything would ever happen to my SSD lol I might be a little paranoid and over protective over ETS2 :D
Unless you are impatient and you give SCS all your money the second the expansion launches. They deserve it with all the work they put into the game anyways :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed, they deserve it. ETS2 or any other simulator games, I play them time to time and there was a time that I didn't play it for an entire year. So I'm no rush getting them. Though when they're on sale, I couldn't help myself and even if I don't play it on those days, I still buy them. The magic of GabeN. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hey, site works just fine :)
One problem tho, i can't edit my achievements like 19/19. It always looks like 19/0. Maybe i fucked up somewhere?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nah, the site did. Should be hopefully fixed tomorrow, don't worry about it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Okkey, thats great :)
One more question, i guess you won't message us for the giveaway links anymore, right?
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope, you will be able to see the giveaway links on the site :) Here is where you can find them.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fixed now and your playtime has been approved :) You will still have to wait a few more days for the giveaways however since it is too early to make the giveaways last long enough.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, it works right now. And it is ok to wait, i wasn't planning to finish the game today but had fun more than i expected :D
By the way, i just read this (Because it used to take Mouse 2-6 hours every week to go through every submission and she got tried of it.) and if you still need help, i believe i can. Just tell me.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am glad you liked it :)
It took me over 3 hours to get through all the comments today (got over 50 of them D: ) but other than that the approving/giveaway managing/group accepting is super manageable (usually between 1-5 minutes a day, depends on how many people finished their games) now and it takes nowhere as long :) Thank you for the offer however, I much appreciate it :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, thankfully that only ever really happens once a month at the beginning of it. Today I only got 24 unread I am going to be surprised if I get more than 2 or 3 every day after that :)
Welp, when you sent that message I was actually already in bed :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I can't believe you still spend over 3 hours even with it more automated...jeez that's so much time spent each week. (I know it was even more before.) Big kudos on still doing it all these months, I do not envy you. haha

Kyrrelin already answered you, but just to confirm, yep the game is fine and I can actually see it added on the site too :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Completed the game but not updated on site, may be it takes time. Now looking for another game, may be starts "Kao the Kangaroo: Round 2" game.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, it takes some time to get updated and then some time to get approved my me as well as I have a full time job and I can't be there approving things 24/7. Should get approved in the next half an hour or so (I haven't taken a look, but it should be already updated).
Edit: also I now why you had 502 errors yesterday. It was related to Cloudflare and nothing I could have prevented as it was their fault :/
Comment has been collapsed.
no problem , i am new to it so i don't know about the updating of website. BTW I have no hurry for that. I am downloading new game and added to the site. Also updated the status of previous game to completed.
Comment has been collapsed.
It updates about once or twice a day (so in max 24 hours it should have updated playtime/achievements). Approved now and group invite sent on Steam :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think I've won any that fits this category, but have a few items in my backlog.
I'll see how I go and add them. I might focus first on a recent win for Backlog Assassin's monthly theme Ruby, then try find a game for here :)
Comment has been collapsed.
You can put Children of Zodiarcs under card game tag. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
And also Clockwork Tales: Of Glass and Ink kinda works from your wins as you have a companion robot birdie there :)

Awesome! This one works for both groups themes then yay :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Just wondering if it's alright to also do general backlog as well?
I've completed Clockwork, and am already 17 hours into Children of Zodiarcs haha. (Trying for Hard mode and an achievement for not letting any team mates die through the whole game).
Just to add a bit of variety :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I'll play Hustle Cat (game with animal name & visual novel) and ABZU (game about animals). Added to the site!
And maybe Divide by Sheep (game with animal name) if I have the time/interest.

Hey got a site running to take away all the manual work? :D

Yep, it just became too much to do it manually anymore :D Still have to reply to comments by hand tho :P
Comment has been collapsed.
I have a few wins that I've played, but were too hard for me to beat (Snake Pass, Getting Over It, Devil Daggers). Is it fine if I play my normal backlog games instead for this and future events? As long as I have no other qualifying wins, of course.
Comment has been collapsed.
Don't want to login into the site?
No worries, you can just leave the names of the games you are going to play in the comments bellow and I will add you into to the site myself at the end of the month.
Ah, now I feel like I owe an apology to Mouse for not joining the site last month and making her do extra work on my behalf. I somehow thought that by not signing up I'd also be able to avoid having myself on it at all. Whoops, my reading comphrension is at zero again. :P
Anyway, sorry Mouse for adding to your workload needlessly!
Comment has been collapsed.
Nope sorry, you get put on the site if you login or not because automatic math>manual math. And no worries at all, takes about 30 seconds of time to add a game in :)

Wow, Junes event beat all possible expectations I had. The website also turned out great with a few minor issues here and there that got quickly fixed :) Amazing work to every single one of you who participated, you did amazing!
Hope to see you all again this month :)

The theme for this month is
Lion's heart
(Thank you to Kyrrelin for the suggestion!)
Games that qualify for it are:
Games about any kind of animal - wild, domestic, marine, space...
Games where you take care of animals (zoo, farm...)
Games where you hunt animals
Games with animal names
Games where you play as animal
Games where you have animal as a companion
Games with surgery theme
Games about love / hate / romance
Card games
Visual novel games
Yes, imaginary animals do count.
Don't have any game that fits the theme?
For this month I have decided to let people play their normal backlog games in case no win qualifies. Please use the "Note" section when submitting the game to inform me of this situation. Still don't have any games that qualifies? WTF, let me know and I will give you one.
You can submit this months games you are going to play here:
https://pagywosg.xyz/events/2
While the test run last month was successful I would still appreciate if you list the games you are going to play bellow just in case something goes wrong (yes, I do have backups of the site, but it only backups once a day) and so I can quickly reply you to the comment in case of any issues with the games.
