Tho we can avoid ads if we play offline right? We still would have to wait between chapters?
I find that searching new titles on google search is more effective than searching them directly on the Play Store. In this case when I tried to do that on the Play Store it brought up some CoGs and a lot of other choice games, tho it baffles me that if I type in the exact title then how can the search function mess it up.
We havenāt fully implemented ads for Heartās Choice yet, itās currently just delaybreaks. (Yes, yes, I know the button says āUnlock Ad-Freeā right now.) When we do implement ads, no, you wonāt be able to play offline unless you actually purchase the adfree version of the game.
You should post questions about All World Pro Wrestling in the discussion thread dedicated to it, and read through it first to see if your question is answered.
Iām not sure if this is the right thread to bring this up, but I noticed that none of the Heartās Choice games were announced on Steam via the COG curator/developer recommendations. Since the games are listed under a new developer (Heartās Choice) & were released during the Autumn Sale, they might not have been seen by people who arenāt active on the forums or havenāt seen the email announcement. But I also noticed that some newer COG titles like The Fog Knows Your Name werenāt announced either, so Iām not sure if this is an intentional choice not to use the curator recommendations anymore?
Steamās Curator system seems to have been built for reviewers; so they may recommend games that others have developed. So unless there are separate rules for Curators who are also game devs in their own right (which seems plausible but unlikely) there shouldnāt be a problem recommending a game distributed under a different Steam account.
I suppose it wouldnāt hurt to toss an email in Steam Supportās direction and ask! But looking at other Curators, I really canāt imagine there will be a ānoā to the question āWeāre both a developer and a Curator; may we recommend games by other developers?ā
Like @Minnow mentioned, I donāt think the curator system was intended just to be used for a developerās own games, in fact the COG developer account was used to recommended every new game from Hosted Games too and other choice games not related to COG/HG/HC at all like Long Story, Gone Home, The Wolf Among Us, Sunless Sea, To The Moon, etc. I wasnāt sure if something happened because the account also stopped recommending official COG games too, the last game it recommended was Grand Academy 2 on 20th October.
A Playerās Heart by Melissa Scott: f/f. Beta, releasing January 2020 ???
If so (and heck, if not) I was lucky to get a slot in the beta test. IMHO etc ā¦ It will be well worth the wait
Iāve checked back through my mails etc and I (genuinely) canāt say/remember.
However, I can (I think!?) say it took at least 10 hours for one play through, and there are 3 basic āroutesā you could take (I took just 1), which I think would create at least 2 great story experiences. Note I was ātestingā, so that time is extended, but even so.
My closing comments were ā¦ āPlease pass on my sincere compliments and regards to the author. Fantastic setting that hints very successfully at greater depth of world, great characters, brilliant description and writing style; great fun to play and I was genuinely on tenterhooks wondering whether ā¦ā
