July's Theme: Relax IndiePendently
Submission



Please post your entry using the format below. Post it only after you actually finished a game this month.

Replace:

TITLE with the game title. For example, Stardew Valley.
APP_ID with the game ID. For example, 413150, taken from http://store.steampowered.com/app/413150.
PROFILE_URL with your profile URL. For example, http://steamcommunity.com/id/crystalight or if you don’t have a Steam ID, http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197996066202/.


* **Has achievements:** [TITLE_1](PROFILE_URL/stats/APP_ID_1), [TITLE_2](PROFILE_URL/stats/APP_ID_2), [TITLE_3](PROFILE_URL/stats/APP_ID_3)...
* **Does not have achievements:** [TITLE_1](PROFILE_URL/screenshots/?appid=APP_ID_1), [TITLE_2](PROFILE_URL/screenshots/?appid=APP_ID_2), [TITLE_3](PROFILE_URL/screenshots/?appid=APP_ID_3)...

You can separate finished games from completed if you want, but it’s not necessary.

If you replayed a game that has achievements and didn’t get new achievements or had already gotten all of the achievements, add it to the “Has achievements:” section, but use the link PROFILE_URL/screenshots/?appid=APP_ID and post screenshots as proof. Same goes for “Does not have achievements:” games.

If it’s not possible to take screenshots of a game using Steam, take screenshots normally and upload them to Imgur, linking the Imgur page instead of the Steam one.

And of course don’t forget to regularly post on the site’s activity feed to show your progress.

Only games you played this month are counted. So for now, I will count only Catch a Falling Star.

MikuIT

I already knew that only achievements obtained this month would be counted, but I was under the (probably wrong) assumption that I should’ve posted all my eligible games…
Anyway, i saw more games were added, should I post them here or wait until I play them?

Crystal

You can post games you think you will play during the month of course. But better post games after you finished them. It would be easier for me to update everything this way.

Crystal

We’ve changed how the script works. Please, edit your comment so that it includes only the games you already finished this month. As I see them now, you should remove all games except Catch a Falling Star. You can add them and other games when you actually finish them. Don’t post here games which you plan to play or are in progress, but not finished.

Yindy

What about games you’ve posted as finished (Because they are) and a few weeks later you’ve got the sudden impulse to go back and get more achievements in them? Delete them/readd, or how would that work? :)

Crystal

It’s ok. You don’t need to edit anything for that. Achievements are refreshed periodically. So if you “finished” the game eligible game this month, you can post it here and still continue playing it.

Yindy

Sorry for grabbing your attention like this :x, but, I either did something wrong (Though I’m quite sure I fixed the link a few days ago) or the script doesn’t pick up ‘A bird story’ :/

Crystal

The script was broken by one of the members (not you) posting in wrong formatting :) The rankings were not updated for the last ~3 days because of that. Now everything should work fine.

nothing to see here

Crystal

Nice screenshots, but the game should be played during this month to be counted ^^’ Sorry if it wasn’t clear from description.

Lucky Thirteen

Oh… I see. I’m still trying to figure this monthly themes thing out, sorry :D
Much like Mike up there, I thought previously finished games count as well :)

Crystal

Sorry, because of how the script works, remove the game name instead of crossing it off :) Also, you can replay it if you want and post new screenshots. It will be counted. And check my comment above to Mike90 - it clarifies how to post your entry.

Lucky Thirteen

Ah, alright. Sorry for the trouble :)

Please, edit your link for Dear Esther according to the format which is asked in the OP. In your case it will be:

You’re missing a / on the link for “A Bird Story”, between stats and the app number.

Yindy

Woops, thanks! :)

Hey, Crystal, may I ask you to check my Sparkle 2 score?
Because astats doesn’t update profiles instantly (unless you force it to do so, thing that I’ll be doing from now on) and, well, other than completing it I also unlocked 13/22 achievements.
Thanks :)

Crystal

I noticed your reply only now as you replied to yourself :)
Yes, of course. Also, in the very end I will update all profiles with not yet 100%ed games on AStats. Just to be sure that all achievements were counted.

malabagaa

No worries :)
I did so because it wasn’t an urgent matter and I knew that sooner or later you’d have seen it. Of course I would have contacted you if you had not seen it by the end of the month =P

Thanks, for the hard work you guys put in this too ^_^

Crystal

Thank you :)

L✪U

I’m not 100% sure I’m doing this correctly since I’m a newbie, but here goes, anyway! :D

Crystal

Yes, it’s good. Just add to that comment games you finished this month and follow the formatting :) Posting about your progress in activity feed is much recommended as well (not just for monthly, but in overall).

Tristar

Did you really play 160h of Stardew? ^^

L✪U

I don’t always close the game when I have to go do something, because It’s usually easier than loading it up again when I get back, but I have put probably too much time into it. It’s quite addictive somehow :D

Please, take the screenshot confirming that you finished the game and post it in formatting mentioned in my post.

Heiluri

Hey! I just tested but can’t do it. End combo doesn’t trigger anymore so should play it through again. I will take Little Inferno out from list :)

Crystal

Ouch, sorry about that.

No, script takes completion times from How Long To Beat and AStats. Only in very specific cases when such info is not available on either of the sites, I will need your times :)
As for games you keep playing after finishing/beating/completing. Post the game here when you finished main story. If you make additional progress later (in form of achievements), they are added to your final score. If you continue playing game without achievements after finishing main story and posting it here, your score won’t change obviously, as you already got all points for it when you finished the game and there is no fair way to count all further progress.

EvilBlackSheep

Thanks for the answers ;)

Thyreos

Note: 12 Labours II was a re-play to get the last 5 achievements.

This is my first time submitting anything. Sorry if I messed something up :)

Crystal

Everything is fine except one thing :) One of the purposes of the monthly theme (as the group main goal as well) is to decrease your backlog. So, only finished games are counted (main story ended, main levels are completed, etc). In case of Viridi it’s hard to draw the line so it can be called finished in your case. Maybe Pixel Puzzles: Japan as well (though it has other “main” puzzles you didn’t finish). Quell looks like not finished as it has “Complete every Quell level” achievement. And definitely not Thomas Was Alone (you didn’t finish the story). You can leave problematic games unedited if you are SURE you will finish them before the end of month.

dk

Oh yeah, I added Pixel Puzzles, Quell and Thomas Was Alone so I won’t forget since I saw many people use their comments as a place holder. I’ll avoid doing that in the future. I will finish these 3 games before the end of the month. They are short.
In case if I don’t, I will edit my comment and will remove them. Thanks!

dk

Just a quick update. I’ve completed all games we discussed.

    Quell - I finished this one back in January (played all puzzles) but I completed it yesterday (perfected puzzles, got jewels, 100%ed game) so I don’t know if that would count or not. If not, just let me know and I’ll remove it and won’t submit the other Quell games when I complete them. :)
    Morphopolis - I played almost all of the game literally one year ago but the @%&#-ing beetle lock puzzle broke my spirit and I abandoned it until today. Defeated the puzzle and got the last two achievements. Once again, not sure if that would count at all towards the monthly theme competition or not. Regardless, it feels good to 100% another game!

Sparkle 2 Evo was started earlier, but finished this month.
Little Inferno was replayed.
Among Ripples and Mountain are endless games, but I’ve fully explored them and think I’ve done all there is to do

Daerphen

you will need to link the screenshots for non-achievement games. For you that would be http://steamcommunity.com/id/mmm92/screenshots/?appid=232430

rafaelgomesxyz

The script would detect this comment as an entry from you because of the link, but I see that you have also completed Gone Home, so it’s not a big deal, but try to enclose such links with a code tag outside of your entry, like Crystal did here.

Daerphen

oops, fixed :D

Marjourie

Thanks I thought it only apply to replayed games. I add some screenshots if you need more let know :)

Edited content:

Original post:
Hey, I’m on vacation and have almost no internet connection, just managed to find one for a few minutes, so my apologies for not having the time to do this with proper formatting.

Games with achievements: Banished, Stardew Valley (only the Joja achievement in this playthrough, have several others from another playthrough, but went only for the missing Joja one this time)

Without achievements: Gone Home, Machinarium. Will have to upload screenshots of those on the 5:th when I’m back to civilization, hope that’s OK.

I will update this post on the 5:th of August, if it still counts by then.

Crystal

Machinarium doesn’t have time on your Steam profile though. You played and finished it this month, right?
For now, I’ve manually added everything you listed to the rankings. Have a nice time on your vacation :)

tso184

I didn’t have access to an internet connection during most of my vacation (and the few hours when I did, I played The Wolf Among us, which has achievements that I wanted to register while playing) so I played it in offline mode, together with a few other games (not in the challenge though).

I’ve uploaded some screenshots I took while playing now. Will edit the post :)

LookAtMyNewDog

It’s my first month at war with my backlog. I hope that everything is ok.
