Thanks for doing this--it helped motivate me to finish what I started in Guacamelee! 2. I adored the game, but would definitely have played it more sporadically had I been left to my own scatter-brained devices. Good thing I didn't, since I don't think I could've finished the last leg of the game if I'd gotten rusty on the mechanics.

Looking forward to joining next month's event now that I have a couple of SG wins I want to get into! \o/

Well finished the game. Damn that one was boring as hell. Or maybe I simply do not see the appeal of tentacle monsters that molest women.

oh not the tentacles. its such a trope now to have some sort of tentacle related thing in anime that I really am curious of who likes that stuff. Be it actual tentacles or weird slime monsters

I submitted for Sundered and for some reason my entry was deleted. I wonder if I did something wrong? It was my first event.

I suppose you should have posted here your pick(s) as mentioned here

But... it will be a good idea to put all the rules in one place.

Ah, the FAQ on the page said you didn't have to indicate you were beating the game before, but I guess it's superceeded by that.

Thanks for letting me know.

commenting what you are doing will result you being questioned if something is wrong what withever theme it is. Idk what you picked for your entry but maybe you needed proof but because you didnt comment it got auto deleted. If you are absolutely sure your games are perfect between the whole time of verifying and confirming its beaten then you wouldnt actually need to comment.

Either way its always good thing to just post 1 comment just incase a problem does arises and you arent stuck like the other people reposting confused

Found your problem your profile is private. you need to have your details public or they won't accept you

Thanks for the reply and suggestions.

I'm not sure why my profile showed up as private for you. My inventory is private, but everything else has been public for months to allow SteamGifts to auto-sync. Does it still appear private now? Maybe it was a temporary issue. Edit: Maybe the issue is that total playtime is private on my account (tried switching that off).

I included a note in my submission that I'd played the game as a backlog game ("For this month I have decided to let people play their normal backlog games in case no win qualifies.") even though I found through playing that Sundered had easter eggs in it.

I tried to add it again yesterday with more information, but the event was closed. Is there a place to add the details to the thread now to still be eligible, or will I be locked out of April because of the problem?

oh I can see you now. if you just bring it up to samwise I'm sure they will add it to the event for you assuming everything is in order
yes that was the problem I couldnt see your games at all but the rest was fine, playtime cant be private

Oh I remember that submission since i found it strange to see someone without a win. I see sundered did turn out to be a win, the only thing i can think of it the whole private profile you were showing or proof. For more detailed explanation a mod would have to say what was the problem but if you had the private time turned on then that will be the whole reason why

You didn't provide any proof for the subtheme as required + your playtime was private + you didn't bother to comment on the thread so I just deleted it and didn't bother to look any more into it.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry about creating extra work for you before. I'd tried resubmit yesterday with more info, but it was past the 30th in the timezone it was set in even though it was still the 30th in EDT.

I didn't provide additional subtheme proof because I originally intended to play it as a backlog game ("For this month I have decided to let people play their normal backlog games in case no win qualifies.") and only found out after the fact that it had Easter Eggs with hidden shards (https://steamcommunity.com/app/535480/discussions/0/1471967615862635618/) and a secret dash ability.

I did correct the playtime setting (didn't remember there was a setting independent of the public profile status) issue though. Sorry about that.

If it's not too late and I can provide you with any additional info, let me know. If not though, I appreciate you taking the time to reply (and organize all of this to begin with).

For this month I have decided to let people play their normal backlog games in case no win qualifies.

I think you are misunderstanding what that sentence means and you most definitely not anywhere close being able to fit under it. Thats for people who played all their wins that fit the theme and noone else. And I guess it should honestly be deleted because it there from before the FAQ existed and that situation is now covered under the "Have already completed all your qualifying wins?" question there.

Also I don't see from that link how that is an easter egg? Maybe would fit under "Games where do you have to search and collect something " but I don't know if those shards are something that you are actually supposed to collect them for the main game or is just some kind of side collecable?

Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. It was my first time (trying) to participate in the event, so I was pretty unfamiliar with it.

To answer your question, the shards are a main part of the game as far as collection goes. You can't beat the game without getting at least 3 of the 7 shards. 6 of the 7 shards are easy to find (being provided by bosses and mini-bosses that are marked on the over-world map). The remaining shard (composed of 3 smaller shards) is hidden. And two out of the three endings are unavailable unless you collect the hidden (and each ending has a completely different final boss - pretty cool game that way).

Sorry again for creating more work for you. Didn't mean to make it more complicated for you by misinterpreting the rules.

Then I am afraid it doesn't really fit that subtheme then sorry. At this point almost every giveaway has been finished so if you want to try to participate again your best bet is to do it in this (May) months event, sorry.

I just completed Nightmared from the Deep 3: Davy Jones but the website won't let me change the status of the game, it tells me "This event isn't active at this moment" even though it's April 30 in my timezone.
