If this allow a torrent to be provided, then maybe it would help persisting the data even if it's not hosted on a server anymore.

A great start! 

I would like to have more control of how the list is presented to me. If I played a game and decided that I never want to see it again, I'd like to be able to remove it completely from all lists. Also, I'd like to change some categories that I don't agree with (for example, out of 25 adventure games, I only thought that 2 were really an adventure games, and most of the others were platformers).

An option to choose what drive on which to install the games, and the ability to uninstall the launcher would be important, in my mind, for a program whose only focus is software management.

I'm working on those for the next release. I posted a thread about the next couple of planned releases here on our own forum.

dude ye need moar games.

I know . We've opened for game suggestions here if you have any. This is a temporary solution until we can put together a more direct game submission mechanism.

So what happens if you abandon the project? Or even worse get run over by a bus?

Right now, it'd probably die. The db and code are available to all, but it would take some serious initiative for someone else to continue the project. However, more developers are already showing interest in the project, so in 3-6 months that answer will hopefully be entirely different.

Keep it up, man! This is a lovely little program and it really fills a unique niche that "just another indie game website" doesn't.

When I'm hankerin' for some indie games, I can just open that program and browse and get my fix, and it installs really quickly and nicely. This is already an excellent experience and I wish you the best with it!

This looks very interesting.
I hope you will steal all best features from steam.
In my opinion for project like this to succeed content filtering is important as much as usability, good download speeds, etc.
And maybe it has potential to be a platform for developers too. Where they could keep players up to date with new or existing projects, update games, gather feedback. Anyway, I think this can be a Very Good Thing.
Good luck with this, and keep up the good work!

Thanks! I agree that Tiggit should be a platform for developers, and I feel that is the direction we are (slowly) moving.

I hope you will steal all best features from steam.

I hope so too . I'd love to hear your opinion on that though: what ARE the best features of Steam we should steal?

what ARE the best features of Steam we should steal?

The automatic patch download (gamer side), and upload (developer side) must be in that list, IMO.

I absolutely agree, in fact I'm about 70% done on an auto-update solution

Anything else? It would be especially interesting to hear what social features on Steam (chat, friend lists etc) you are using the most, since I haven't used those myself much. What can be stolen and what could even be improved?

[tequibo]

What I like in steam is auto-update, yes, ability to download my games at any time, browsing is alright too, seeing metacritic scores, sometime I check forums for solutions on problems/news/opinions if game is worth to buy.
Oh, and news about games are cool, too! Well about updates, mostly, but that feature, where steam displays posts from gaming blogs about item is kind of neat too.
 
So, if steal than it would have to be some kind of "favorite games" list, since all games are free. Maybe even improve on what steam have and make a library that you can sort as you like, steam library management is rubbish at the moment. And maybe display posts about those games from gaming blogs and whatnot.
And maybe some kind of "Featured Games" category would be great. "New and noteworthy" and whatnot. So, filtering system, as I said before. By editor and by community(which you already kind of have).


Oh, and it would be great, if I could hit "install" and continue browsing without program opening "installed games" tab.

Another great steam feature is workshop of course, but it's, of course, require large user base and game that have build in support for it.

Steam "friends" feature is great for multiplayer, and somewhat all right to see what your friends playing, buying, and such. But I can't see this as a priority feature for this project.

Oh, and steam cloud is great too, of course. Maybe it's even possible to implement without developer's modifications, if game stores save data in same folder when it's installed?

Thanks, sorry, and I have

I like it but... maybe you need more tags to organize the games like subgeneres and settngs or whatever, and think in the future with a lot more.

I love the indie recopilation idea. Its nice to have and see all that games with simple interface and install process. It shows to people a nice recopilation of indies games in a easy way.

I will add a incomplete or complete tag also.

Note that i used a AVG game and gived me a error. I had to go to the coniguator executable and changue resolution. If you install the game itself the configurator appears more naturally in the shortcuts, here is more complicated to know and repair it.
