Congrats to everyone who successfully participated last month, here are the final statistics which I think broke some more records again :) :

  • 4457 achievements have been achieved
  • 2395.7 hours have been played
  • 209 games have been beaten
  • 82 people have participated and beaten at least one game.

Hope to see you all again this month :)

Due to timezones/people not being online 24/7 I am still accepting any edits/applications for October for the next couple of days (till the October thread is closed).


The theme for this month is

Winter is coming

(Thank you to seNs for the suggestion!)

Games that qualify for it are:
RPG games
Games with gore
Medieval games
Strategy games
Turn based games

Games with the nudity tag
Tower defense games
Games containing dragons
Games with Ice or Fire in the name
Games with vaporware sequels
Winter-themed games or games where the actions take place in winter
Games with terrible endings
Games based on a book

Don't have any game that fits the theme?

For this month I have decided to let people play their normal backlog games in case no win qualifies. Please use the "Note" section when submitting the game to inform me of this situation.

How do these events work exactly? I've never participated, but I beat 2 of my SG wins this month (Hammerwatch and TJ&E). Do you just add a game to pagywosg.xyz , beat it, then get sent a link to the event giveaways? Are you expected to get a certain % of achievements or is it more about just beating the games?

4 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

You submit a game to the website that fits the theme (you can do it before or after you beat said game, both works), once it is beaten/completed you mark it as such on the website and about once a day I when I get around it I approve the games and once you have at least one game approved as beaten you see all the giveaway for the month on the website. No achievement percentage needed, the game just needs to be beaten. The FAQ might answer some more of your questions but if you have any other ones feel free to ask :)

And in your case Hammerwatch would work for the theme since it is an RPG game according to the Steam tags.

Ok, just added Hammerwatch, and it looks like the Faq covers the rest of my questions.

I was gonna demand that next month my journey down should count as 2 games since I won it twice but now I see that the tag is 2.5D and not 2D. The cheek of it to ruin my plans!

Oh wait it has colourful tag ha. Back to demanding that chapter 2 is classed as 2 wins!
Just noticed you did put colourful and not colorful like the tag actually says. Just the wrong way to spell it

Yeaaaaa don't think it is gonna happen that it will be counted as 2 :P

Isn't colourful the British spelling and therefore the right spelling?

But they have different app id's. Shouldn't that mean they are considered to be different games and count each once?

4 years ago

Nope, they are not. One is a sub the other one is an app. There is only one game that is in the library and the playtime only gets counted on one ID (the app one) too.

Are you sure about that? When I try to add it too the event page, I get shown different entries for each of the chapters with app Id's 220090, 262850, 579760.

Yes those are separate and get counted separately since they are their own games, but we are talking about only chapter 2 here not the other 2.

I was wondering, why is it my playtime for "Postmen of Horizon" doesn't update on the pagywosg site — and found out that the game was actually deleted from the store. And now it doesn't even show up on my "Recent" section on steam. So, I made a screenshot with my playtime from steam app: https://i.imgur.com/ImBbb1Z.png

Then I remembered reading that steam had pruged the store again and deleted 1000 different games again.

Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

It wasn't updated because I didn't get around running the update script. I kinda forgot the details but I am pretty sure the site can actually pick up the playtime even if the game is removed, but don't 100% quote me on that because workarounds how to get playtime for removed games exist but it is a bit iffy and I am not 100% sure what exactly is implemented into the website anymore.

4 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

For removed games it looks at recently played games (/IPlayerService/GetRecentlyPlayedGames/v1/).
But I remember you were saying that even Steam Api sometimes returns wrong values for this (though I was not able to achieve wrong playtime thing on my own).
And of course if someone adds a removed game they played more than 2 weeks before adding, it's no longer 'recent' for Steam so it won't be shown at Api.
