My game is 7 Grand Steps, and I've discounted it by 25%.  Who else is participating?

Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble!

Somedays, being a commercial indie is the hardest fucking thing.

I played the demo and found it intriguing, awesome to see the finished product! :beer: Bought it yesterday and played for many many hours straight. I still don't know what I'm doing most of the time but I think I'm getting the hang of it. It has a nice balance between racing for legend beads and distributing tokens to educate your offspring.

By the way, is the skill level after AAA really supposed to be named indie?

:-)

It's certainly a bug. Thanks for reporting it. It'll go on my list of work after E3.

Steam allowed all IGF finalists to sell through them.

After four years of development, 7 Grand Steps sees the light of day, and is welcomed into it by reviews and Steam. I've been posting on TIGS for the last few of those years, and I would like to thank those who reached out, helped out, and just made me feel welcome.

I'll post more reviews in this thread, as they come out.


cheers,

how much does it cost to exhibit at GDC? I've been trying really hard to exhibit at any of the PAX's around the world this year but I've been rejected by every one.

Any idea what kind of coverage/exposure you could expect from GDC compared to PAX? (more, less, bout the same?)

You're talking about GDC Play. It's the showcase for small devs who buy a station in the room for the three day main conference. The guys who made FistPuncher thought it was worthwhile, but just barely.

Finished the game. It will release on Steam and mousechief.com on June 7th. (just a week from now!)

Other good news, IndieCade selected 7 Grand Steps for their showcase at E3!

cheers, everyone!

There are 1,200 pieces of judge-to-entrant feedback in the system (there is also a lot judge-to-jury feedback, in addition to the option judge-to-judge comments).

It's on my todo list!  Just been super busy pre- and post-GDC.  Sorry about the delay :/

I'm putting the final touches on my game, and getting the feedback to see what I can address would be great!

Important news! Purchasers of early betas of 7 Grand Steps can now download the 3rd beta, using their Humble Store code/link.

And we're now at 90% finished with the game. Final version should ship in May.


see you all then,

Most big name reviews are biased or bought in some way

i almost didn't read the rest of the post because of this

Yeah. The 'bought' part is mostly bullshit.

And it looks like that does NOT include PAX prime entrance. Bummer. I thought it did in previous PAX devs. Maybe that was only for speakers.

Therefore, submit speaker proposals!

If you play LOTS OF MONEY for the PAX Dev pre-conference, it includes attendance at the main conference. Those tix are not on sale yet. But they won't run out so quickly. FYI

Tix are already sold out. (four day passes)

Important news! Purchasers of the 1st beta of 7 Grand Steps can now download the 2nd beta, using their Humble Store code/link.

Guillaume,  you are correct. I confused something else, forms to fill out for foreign nationals working the conference (I think). However, you can participate from home, if not at a local satellite jam. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple didn't spring up around the bay. Consider seeding a satellite jam yourself.

Hi Peanutterz, thanks for the report. That's a bug hiding a bug, that you see. The game engine can't write the log file for the real bug. It's okay. I'm pretty sure your description matches a bug I've already fixed. It should be fixed in the next build, next month.

I'm sure a lot of the iron age stories need editing. It's an important issue, I'm also trying to clear up for the next build.

I'll be there, looking to join a team. My last jam was Molyjam, and it was great! Who's up for some space madness?

Non-american citizens can attend, but they have to pass extra checks at the gate. Everyone can join satellite jams. One is already forming in Melbourne. Others are in the wings.

Go, '7 Grand Steps'! :-)
