Similarly, when you look at the slide about "secret computations", you come to realize that "monthly sales" are inferred from the number of followers and the number of Steam reviews. Then the "annual sales" are inferred from the "monthly sales" during the first month. All this with the "monthly sales" actually computed solely in July.
The key word here is average, consider the followingI did not realize that the "secret computations" of Mike lead him to conclude that the number of copies sold decreased by 70% in 2019 compared to 2018.
Come on, 70%? That is too much and should make anyone doubt of the computations.
I think he is basing his numbers by including indies that likely sold in the 1000s if not hundreds...though even with that yeah, there is doubt in the computations.
new trailers for nifty-looking indies, too bad The Sojourn is EGS-exclusive. cool that DUtM is finally coming out next month
You could get a free key of the Bradwell conspiracy today if you watched their stream. Stream over though.
Try DG Voodoo2 its a wrapper for Direct X 8 games that can fix some issues (and improve others). I used it for like every old Falcom port.
Thanks. But all these doesn't seem to work with DX8 making the crash rate even worse. I think I'm just gonna have to bear it.
Between the two, Avernum and Avadon feel mechanically familiar, but Avadon is more guided while Avernum is more open, IIRC. I wanna say Avadon is also a bit heavier on storytelling. Oh and Avadon has premade companions with dialog of their own while Avernum is a make-your-own-party deal... I think? It's been a while.
I'd say play Avernum just to see the spider cave. It's unforgettable. But if you're up for more of a loreful deep-dive, go for Avadon.
Isn't Techland self publishing that?
Kind of bizarre to put a bunch of question marks there, I don't really get this
SoT release had a marketing stunt involving stunt mans in cannons solely because of that, is one of the main ways of getting into enemy ships/getting into islands fast.I did not think of that possibility. I could see that happening in some kind of cartoony joke.
If cannons are means of transportation for players as well, it changes a bit my view regarding this game.
Larian linking using a Steam account instead of their own acount (like Civ does) points towards they at least using a new part of Steam API, even if they themselves developed it. Maybe we get a Sven goes into Valve home office to raid them, like for the Baldurs Gate 3 announcement (Pax West should be close enough to their home office to be able to do it).
I'll consider that as close to a confirmation as Valve would ever give. Excited to see what's planned. Perhaps it's wishful thinking, but cloud saves becoming more hardware agnostic due to new API features would just be really wonderful.
The new system already rolled out to around 5% of Steam users over "the past few weeks." Users in the experimental group were 15% more likely to click on recommended games.That drove an overall 75% increase in unique games visited, and a 47% increase in unique visits per game – all of which suggests this is broadly positive for both players and developers.

The surprising / great news about this is that Steam finally used a sectional change (instead of all the store) to try algorithm changes. That was one of the reasons why the previous "algorithm apocalypse" of last year was so annoying (edit: to me), because it is always stupid to do updates to the entire algorithm without actually testing it in smaller markets.
We also found that in some places our timescale used to calculate popularity was too narrow, resulting in unpredictable visibility for some games. So we expanded the time period we use in those calculations.
Thanks to Steam's new algorithm, I have discovered a few games. The most promising one is a Metroidvania: Foregone.
It has some Dead Cells and Another World vibes.
So you got upgraded to a better language? Nicemy 'you have some games on your wishlist on sale' email today came with a new cool banner telling me about a focus entertainment sale

The tags customers have most frequently applied to Hollow Knight have also been applied to these products:
Did you just discover that "more like" page? It really is a bit hidden away tbh, but it is pretty interesting, although I am waiting for Lars Steam Lab which looks like a nice upgrade over it.That is a cool page: https://store.steampowered.com/recommended/morelike/app/367520/
There was also a card game, but I am not convinced that it is good.
Battle Network Collection in 2020, let's go.
