I changed the review to positive after the game got a few updates - dev is actively expanding it and fixing issues. It turned out to be quite nice little adventure (flesk, thanks for reminding me to post this update).

Nice review. :) Very nice that the game is GPL and developed on Linux too.

Yes, I think you made the right call. Plus, if a game only has two reviews, a single positive review wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

Ah, I see. That might have been what confused me when I was looking into it originally. Still, I think one has to be on our curator store page to see the lists? I don't think there's any indication of a game being in a curator list when visiting a particular game's store page. Not that it matters much, probably.

I kinda forgot about lists, and I'm not sure what kind of visibility they get on Steam, but I think it's a neat idea that we could do more of, like Zyro's adventure list. I think I suggested at some point that anyone up to it, could make eg. a top 10 favourite list, and I think it's fair that candidates for those lists are even more so up to the individual user's discretion.

I recall making a list when the feature was new, that was supposed dig up older recommendations for a period of time, but it was (nearly) impossible to find by browsing the store, so it ended up being pointless. I don't know if things have changed since then.

Yet another approach would be to use an external ranking, e.g. https://steam250.com/hidden_gems - posting just to add to the discussion, though. I can't decide if I like it or not, for now I'm still in favor of voting.

Both external resources like that and voting sound like great ideas to me.

Since we all have a bit more time on our hands lately I can finally get more familiar with the games I accepted from curator offers and write reviews. Are all of those okay to post a recommendation (provided I find them worth it):

• AI War 2
  
• Children of Apollo
  
• Clea / 克莉
  
• Death and Taxes

My immediate reaction to those games is that I'd probably not consider AI War 2 hidden, since Arcen is a very well-known indie developer, or Death and Taxes, since it got a lot of attention, and was even commercially successful (if I remember correctly). However, considering that Arcen went bust, and given what I just wrote, I dunno. I have no strong opinion on the matter.

As always, I'm totally fine with members accepting curator offers and doing with them what they see fit though, even if it doesn't end up being a recommendation at all, or a review for a different purpose (positive or negative).

As I've mentioned before, I don't think the original criteria should be seen as something cut in stone, but rather be adjusted as seen fit by the active members of the group. In fact, we've adjusted the criteria a few times in the past to adjust for obvious candidates that didn't fit the criteria at the time.

It will always be an imperfect measure of the "hiddenness" and "gemness" of any game though, as lots of factors can muddle the stats, like an overlooked game that has been part of a bundle (and thus has lots of owners), but still fails to be discovered and appreciated, because either people just installed it and never played it, or because it didn't appeal to the demographic of those bundle owners.

Therefore, I will always trust the opinion of a person of this group, which has played the game, and thinks it's a good fit for recommendation over those arbitrary criteria.

I'd also like to re-iterate that even though I started the group, I always hoped it would be a team effort, and that my opinion doesn't count for more than any of its active members, so feel free to make any decisions you feel is in the spirit of the group. If you need more administrative powers to do so, eg. to create lists, moderate or whatnot, let me know, and I will grant those powers (if you're someone I know and trust, like you two).

Haha, yes, that's a bit strange. :) I guess we'll just do that then, unless anyone objects. If you want to check it out, feel free.

Nice to see you too. :) I see your comments on GOL occasionally, but I haven't been very active here or there lately. I bought a new apartment in February and started in a new project at work in March, so that's taken up a lot of my time.

I've started playing a bit again lately though. I finally finished Stephen's Sausage Roll last week, and I think it's an absolutely amazing puzzle game. Highest recommendations from me, though it can be a bit frustrating at times.

I also played through Minit, which I'm not sure if we recommended yet. If not, and if it qualifies, I'll write up a recommendation this weekend.

My gut feeling is that since we're specifically focused on games, it isn't a good fit, but I'd like to hear other opinions.

I've experimented a little with Krita in the past, on the recommendation of GDQuest (of Godot tutorials fame), and I think it's a great piece of software. I also like that they're on Steam for Linux now, to hopefully gather some much needed funding.

One suggestion is one of us accepts the offer, writes a personal review. Then maybe we write up one of our occasional announcements on the status of the group etc., and include a shout out to Krita in it.

Thanks for the suggestions. :)

My Brother Rabbit looks very good, and I think I actually bought it myself, in spite of getting "burned out" on Artifex Mundi a few years ago. Surprised it hasn't been more popular. I'd welcome a recommendation for sure, if either of you want to write one.

Mimpi I actually played a fair bit of, and I agree that it's a good game. I don't think I ever finished it though. There aren't any technical issues that prevents progress, or anything of that sort, I hope?
