Reply to Michigan and Video Game Developers in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I think Stardock should put a program similar to EA's Partner program, where they help develop and publish games from little indie studios and devs, like me, :P . It would be a win-win situation.

Reply to Worms Reloaded with Steamworks in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="Tridus" reply="8" id="2699193"] Quoting Timmaigh, reply 6 What´s up with Steamworks? Is it different to Steam? Will the game only be available through it? I hope not ffs, i want the physical copy... Steamworks is like Games for Windows Live. It's a platform that gives the game achievements, storage, matchmaking, and some other services that Steam offers. The advantage is that developers can integrate it much more easily then build

You know what would be more disturbing? Valve striking a deal with Microsoft, by which Steam becomes a windows service required for windows to run, on all computers. Your windows logins become steam logins too.

[quote who="Aractain" reply="66" id="2695543"]Dont be stupid. Tetris RTS? idiotic. Now the real console players want FPSes. We need a Tetris FPS! Maybe give it some nice 50s retro chic...

Reply to RTS is glorified Tetris. in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

[quote who="OMG_Splitshadow" reply="67" id="2695648"]You could make an RTS called Tetris Defender or something like that where you are building a wall to stop invaders. You would allocate workers and resources while playing Tetris on the side to determine how solid the walls the workers build are. (Tetris walls with holes and jagged edges will torn down more easily by the invading armies) [/quote] That is on to something there. Maybe some fog of war could be added so that you don

I don't really mind bad games. I mean i hate playing them, persay but a lot of games that IGN, Gamestop and company call bad aren't so bad. Some of my favorite niche games hit 6-7 range every time.

[quote who="Tridus" reply="70" id="2695430"] Okay. Do you have some evidence of that? The problem with this stuff is that we've always got Valve's printed word on one side, and rampant speculation on the other. Valve says Steamworks is free on their site (as Guest83 linked), and in the brouchure. The've spelled out the business case where they want Steam on more computers because it makes Steam a bigger success as a platform. Steamworks in games encourages that, and they
