maybe send me the link and i see if it is worth being recommended.

and about the games i suggested: as soon as i find the time, i will write something about it, although i already reviewed them, so if you want to copy paste that feel free to do so.

Thanks. :) The recommendations can only be a very short number of characters (150 I think), so
it's not possible to copy+paste a review (unless it's very short), but you put the essence of it into a recommendation and put a link to your review in a separate field made for that purpose.

The link to the pending games are here: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/6914535-Hidden-Linux-Gems/admin/pending

Anyone's welcome to accept the pending games, but I suggest not doing so unless they fit our criteria, have Linux support and you know you're going to be able to play enough of it to get an impression that you can put into a review. It's certainly possible that it's not working well on Linux (maybe it hasn't been tested properly); if so, I suggest writing something on their Steam forums mentioning that, and hold of writing anything about it until it gets fixed, if it does.

What I meant was if you want to be the one to write the text that goes into the recommendation. It has to be around 150 characters, and I can help you with it if you post drafts here.

Thing is, I haven't really had time to play games this past half a year, so if it's on me, they won't get written up in the near future. I'm planning to write some recommendations over the holidays, but I'll prioritize games I've already played.

I'm not sure how to accept it actually. I got emails with direct links for two games, one of which wasn't available for Linux, so I declined it. It's probably hiding under one of these pages somewhere.

@Zyro: Gemini Rue sounds like a good candidate then. :) Feel free to write a recommendation if you want.

@Bobowm: Do you want to write up either/both of those games?

@All: We got a copy of SiNKR through the new curator feature, where developers can suggest their games for curators they think might be interested.

It fits our requirements, so if any of you want to write a recommendation, feel free to accept it to have it added to your Steam account.

I'm not sure. I think it was "too popular" to fit the requirements when the group was new. We have adjusted the requirements since though, so maybe. I agree that it's a great game. :)

@Zyro: Ok, here's a suggestion:

"Lovely made point and click with afro-carribean characters. The first part is a bit rough around the edges, but it's well worth playing, and the last chapters of the trilogy are modern day classics."

Don't lay it on as thick as in my example unless you feel it's accurate though. It's mainly an example of being economic with words: it's better to offer some thoughts on the remaining two chapters than to write "And if you want more afterwards, the trilogy has just been completed, so you won't have to wait and hope some years for the end...", since then you have the space to write what you like about the trilogy as well, while it's also understood that it has been completed. Also, you should try to avoid writing things like "the trilogy has just been completed", since it will only be accurate for a while.

I'll give you admin rights now so that you can post the recommendation when you're ready.

Thanks. Yeah, my kids and work take up most of my time these days, but I'm hoping to have more time on my hands towards the end of the year.

Thanks for the suggestion. :) I've also played all three installments and agree that it's a great game. The main challenge with writing curator texts is that they can only be 150 characters long. If you don't mind, I can take a closer look at your suggested text and try to help you condense it in a few hours when I have some time.

That looks great to me. :) Feel free to post the recommendation whenever you want.

That does looks very interesting. Definitely not for me though, so if you write it up, I'd appreciate that a lot. :)

I skimmed through my Steam library and added a bunch of games that fit our current limits to the original post. If anyone wants to write up any of them, you're welcome to them. I've only played Sproggiwood briefly as I beta tested what was available of it before release. I've not played Megamagic at all, and I don't own it, but it looks great and I hope we can get a recommendation out.
