Re: Name that Game!
I think we should shy away from Early Access steam games. While there are a lot of solid games there the chances of one of the 100-500 people other than you who have bought it being here are slim.

Heh, fair point Hosk (though it might have been bundled which could have increased the exposure I guess).

Re: Name that Game!
My game was "Arcane Worlds" and it looks like it's a good idea to maybe not do Early Access games...

Re: Name that Game!
I feel like, as long as it's early-access as in on steam (or a similar platform) at least, and not just on it's own little site in the middle of nowhere, anything goes. If the game is at least on a platform where you can look for it like Steam, then it isn't as obscure enough to just be completely overlooked. I mean... is an indie game in early access that much more obscure than something like, say, Air Control was before it was watched and played. I feel like a more tentative rule of 'try to avoid anything that you think is too out there and/or generic.' And maybe something about either posting hints/easier screenshots within a day or so if there's not much activity.
For example, I actually found Arcane Worlds on Steam when I went searching through the Early Access. I just focused too much on the first image without realizing the second batch had the first image to pop up on the game's page.

Re: Name that Game!
Yeah, the first image was my own, the others were stolen from the product page in the hopes it'd make it easier to find / recognize.

Re: Name that Game!
Im not making a rule just the observation that the last few seemed to have just lingered then "oh the game isnt out yet"

Re: Name that Game!
Well, apparently we all forgot about this since no one took "Arcane Worlds" from Mara in the last, almost 3 months. As such, I steals.
I haven't played a lot of newer games recently (thanks WoW) so we'll go with a slightly older one:
On a related note, how do people feel about the use of RPGMaker games for this?

Is it weird that I figured this out by recognising that it was built on the Quake 3 engine?

Nobody's right yet. If there's still nothing by the time I go to bed tonight I'll post another screenshot.

I think they prefer "hitperson," but no. I'll post another screenshot after I get home from work today.
