Welcome to

2nd Goblin and Coins Summer marathon! (ended!)


A little bit of history for newcomers

Hello! I've created a little retro platformer game and with the help of friendly SG community managed to polish it and release it on Steam back in late 2016. Since then, I've held a few of these "marathon" events in order for all of us to have fun and at the same time to give back to SG members who supported the game by giving them the chance to win some nice prizes.

You can check out spring (3 participants, won DE: Mankind Devided, Dishonored 2 and DOOM), summer (7 participants won Quantum Break, Dark Souls III, Rise of Tomb Raider , TWD: A New Frontier and many other nice games), Back2School (17 participants, won Dishonored 2, CoD: Advanced Warfare, Cuphead, Life is Strange: Before the Storm and so on), Winter (11 participants; won Slime Rancher, beat Cop, Finding paradize...) and 2nd Spring marathon (110+ participants, won Mortal Kombat X, DEMD, CoD Ghosts...) events if you want more info, to read previous hints, tips, and so on.


Introduction

It's hot and there's a world cup playing right now so let's keep it simple. There's going to be several tasks and one train. Do ANY of the tasks and you'll get invited on board.


Gifts in the train

Train entry point Giveaways
FFA / Public Homefront, Outlast, Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island, Shadows: Price for our sins, Space legends, Living legends: The Froyen Fear, Defend the Highlands Civ III Sacra Terra AI War 3030 Death war redux.

Do 1 or more out of 3 tasks Yakuza 0 preorder, Just Cause 3 XL, Dirt Rally, RAGE, COD Ghosts, Prey (Bethesda), Cook Serve Delicious 2

Requirements

  • In order to participate you have to be a nice and well behaved member of SteamGifts community.
  • You need a free Steam account which you already have otherwise you wouldn't be a member of the community here.
  • And you need to have the game called Goblin and Coins in order to be able to perform certain tasks required in order to be invited to some of the giveaways.

Tips

  • Play on casual, it's easier.
  • Use a quality keyboard or a wired gamepad. Some netbook keyboards will ruin your experience, sadly.
  • You can rebind the keys in settings menu.
  • Feel free to read community guides on Steam.
  • If you get discouraged, feel free to watch other players and see how they dealt with something.
  • Ask, and someone might answer. There are tips&tricks for all the enemies and bosses, just need to find them.
  • If you already have an achievement that's needed - even better!
  • Check the comments, there might be hidden freebie giveaways.
  • Have fun and laugh. That's the point to have fun together :)

Rules

  • In order to be invited you have to provide what is asked and in the exact way that was explained in task description. This usually means links to your achievements page and artwork/video.
  • Don't cheat. I'll check all applications. Don't leak the giveaway links, you'll be suspended.
  • All submissions must be posted into this thread by the end of July 20th, 2018, CEST (GMT+2). I might start inviting people early or not.

Btw, here's a brand new review for the (kind of old now) game, in Spanish: http://retroorama.blogspot.com/2018/07/goblin-and-coins-un-pequeno-y-divertido.html

So I solved the jigidi and itstoohard behind it, how do I make it to "Do 1 or more out of 3 tasks" section?
I just left a reply in Dark Souls 3 GA page as an evidence that I passed through.

That section is just for the fans of GnC who've unlocked certain achievements. You can see tasks/what's needed in the bottom of the original post.

Bump ! I"m not really interested in GnC but I like the way you promote it. I started a game project and it gives me ideas of things that can work to promote my game. Thanks for that and the GAs !

Well, from my experience, the best things you can do for your game are:

  1. Don't be a dick (don't do asset flips, achievement hunters, give credit where credit is due, be polite and so on)
  2. Build, test, listen to feedback, fix if it's a bug or a good improvement, but stay true to your vision
  3. Try to have fun and don't take it too seriously. It's a game, after all.

Good luck.

For now, it's an anti-asset flips, I built everything from scratch. I think I'll do some GAs to celebrate first version I'll put online. Surely on itch.io as from what I read, there's a bit of complicated paperwork to put a game on steam.

Itch now asks for the ~same tax paperwork as "others". It is easier to set up though and offers some nice advances over competition, but also some huge drawbacks. When you're close to having something tangible, contact me and we can talk more about this.

And here is a bonus drawing that I drew first before I decided I didn't like it.
