    I’ll probably never play it, but the game looks cool and I can appreciate someone else’s hard work, so Imma buy it.

    Good speed on your journey!

    Not necessarily my cup of tea, but at two bucks it’s basically free, so…

    Not the one you asked, but I do like the art. Though I’m not a fan of beat em ups.

    • Electric_Druid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Thanks! My partner worked hard on all the art.

    That’s really fun, reminiscent of old-school platforming, absolutely worth the $2 and it runs great on the Steam Deck! Good job!

      Thanks much!

    Quick question for a game dev:

    How does getting steam deck verified work? Like do you reach out? Or do they just check whenever they get to it?

    Cool looking game! If I wasn’t deeply unemployed right now I would buy! Hopefully soon

    • Electric_Druid@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It’s an optional part of getting your game on the steam marketplace, but I’ve had a friend try on steamdeck without messing with it and had no issues. Ymmv, I’m one example and this is my first project.

    Super Tux Kart is very underrated, super fun game actually

    • MajorasTerribleFate@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      These seemed like recommendations for free games that both are quality and aren’t money grubbing.

• Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Mine is more:

  $0.00: Is it FOSS, or is it on GOG? Is it DRM-free? Cool. (see: Luanti/MineTest, OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth, Beyond All Reason, FreeCiv, FreeOrion, Remnants of the Precursors, Endless Sky, The Ur-Quan Masters, Mindustry, Jill of the Jungle Trilogy, etc)

  $0.01+ - $4.99: Is it in eXo? I'll get it that way.

  $5+: I can't imagine buying it if there's anything either in the FOSS category or in eXo that does the same thing.

  And 99% of the time, if there isn't, straight to torrents.

  Bloodborne Nightmare Kart costs 0

  source
• Damage@feddit.it ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  For me it’s

  1-4 might buy and never play it
  4-12 eh if it’s got good reviews and it’s my genre it’s a potential impulse buy
  12-25 it’s got to be very acclaimed and I have to desire it strongly
  25-35 if it’s like the sequel of a game I loved A LOT, and has good reviews, and it gets me on a good day
  35+ no way, I’ll wait for a discount

    As someone who came to PC gaming from decades as a console gamer it blows my mind how cheap PC gaming is once you get over the initial cost of the PC.

    source

    • Damage@feddit.it ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      And the Steam discount golden age ended years ago, nowadays it’s much more expensive. Not to mention the bundles of the time.

  I thought this was age instead of price until I got to 0.

  Don’t let me tempt you with !freegames@feddit.uk!

• mohab@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Oh, this is fun, lemme do mine:

  1-5: It’s most likely worth the money because I’ll likely beat it and have fun even though it won’t land in my all-time favorites.

  5-10: I’m hesitant, but it’s probably worth the risk or it’s niche and I need to support the developer.

  10-15: I either know for sure I’ll have a lot of fun with it or I’m desperate to play anything new because my library feels a little stale RN.

  15-20: It better be fantastic and end up an all-time favorite because why would I pay this much for a video game.

  20-60: I’m good. I can wait.

        Yes, I remember you! How are you doing, Netscape Navigator?

  There’s been a lot of good games for free on epic, and epic still pays the dev/publisher for it, so it’s worth clicking the button even if you don’t download it and play it from thier client.
