| Game | Achievements | Hours of Playtime | Subcategory | Status | Note : |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dwarfs!? | 29/29 | 20 Hours | Game in which you can drink alcohol - ( Tavern button to recruit more miners, and Dwarfs oftenly featured as drinking beer. ) / Title with 8 Characters, too. | Completed | Previously played first during last June's event. |
| OutDrive | 48/48 | 5 hours | Games with exactly 8 characters in the title | Unfinished | ...Also featuring something about "The 80's". |
| Max Stern | 2/10 | 2 Hours | Game released in October | Unfinished |
...Now, the "maybe's", because Inktober won't allow me to play as much as usual :
Max Stern ( Released in October, and because I want to give it a try ), and The Adventures of Mr. Bobley ( Quite embarrassing, because there is actually 8 achievements, but no categories including this. ^^" Anyway, it can still stand for a "win +8 month ago ", at least ? )

On a separate topic, Mouse (or should I use a full name?), I intend to join the group (of course once I complete at least one or two games). Just wonder, is a suggestion/invite to join the group still valid?
Comment has been collapsed.
or should I use a full name?
Oh Mouse is completely fine :)
Just wonder, is a suggestion/invite to join the group still valid?
Yes, of course! Just let me know when you request so I know to check the requests because I don't do that regularly and otherwise you might have to wait for a while.

Already played 80 Days dang it. But plenty of games won in October and I didn't notice that won 8+ months ago until just now so that gives me even more options :) Going to try to stick as much as I can to won in October though, since that might provide the kick in the butt I need to play some very old wins. Tentative list follows;
Karma.Incarnation
Apotheon
Wargame Red Dragon
Titan Souls
Cultures: Northland + 8th Wonder of the World also an 8P game! - didn't think I had any of those.
Tick Tock Isle
room13 - another 8P game
Ink
AGON - The Mysterious Codex

HIVESWAP: ACT 1 - Games costing 8P to enter giveaway.
I'll probably only play one, but I haven't decided which one yet :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hiveswap is a nice game, really enjoyed it. But if you're an inpatient person beware that it's ending in the middle of the story and Act 2 is still not released ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
I know! I tried the demo for a bit, and ended up really liking it's art style. I might play it later, mainly because I kinda wanted to try Homestuck before. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
This is my own personal space and I know I'll be continuing VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action, they drink a lot in there and no need to prove it! Also it's an amazing game.
October is both my birthday and cake month so yeah there is that too?

Happy early cake and birthday then! I wish you all the best ^^

I plan to finish Faerie Solitaire Remastered (Games with 8+ hours to beat) and hopefully start & beat A Hat in Time (Games released in October).

I've completed the original one and have yet to complete the remastered version with nearly 40h in the game, so good luck to you.

I'm probably not going to go for 100% and be content with just "beating" it. I don't think I can play it that much :D But thanks! And you too.

This month I will try to play Figment, that I won slightly more than 8 months ago :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Hopefully I will feel up to entering this month! Last month I was slack in the completions category >.>
I have a lot of options this month. 8+ hours there is Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth; The Sexy Brutale, MGSV:TPP; UAYEB; Republique. Could also try to complete my two previously beaten games, Children of Zodiarcs and Moon Hunters.
Her Story also has 8 letters, so I could play that as well! Just depends on the time I have this month, and what other distractions I have.
Comment has been collapsed.
This is the first time I'm attending this event so I'm very excited to see if I can reach my goals. My backlog was bothering me for a long time but I could hardly find time to play the games I won here. I hope this event will be a nice push to succeed on clearing my backlog.
I already added games on the website but I'm writing them here too:
- DOOM - won 8+ months ago (started playing some time ago but didn't finish yet)
- ArcaniA - made in Germany
- Peregrin - exactly 8 characters in the title
- 8-Bit Armies - "8" anywhere in the title
Comment has been collapsed.
Welcome and have fun with the event 😊
I set out to beat at least 1 (hopefully) short game and end up beating/completing several each month. You will find, that we are a fun group to hang with and if you'll beat at least one game you will get the links to the bonus GA's of the month.
Comment has been collapsed.
Welcome to the event from me as well! It is always nice to see new faces. Best of luck with your backlog :)

1954 Alcatraz (made in Germany; there is also a can of beer in there)

Comment has been collapsed.
you should pick one that includes a horror tag so you get bonus pop blaeo points and play win points
Comment has been collapsed.
Huh, I guess I could totally have a look if any have a horror tag included, but slim chances I fear o.o
Comment has been collapsed.
sound of drop fall into poison is a horror story. Idk about the others though
oh and beholder which I expected was horror too
Comment has been collapsed.
See, and both landed on the blaeo monthly bc of exactly that reason. Now I only need to get round to doing that :)
Thanks for the input :3

Pretty tough to find games with the other criteria (excluding the 8P and time etc. as I don't really like those) but I like this list
Comment has been collapsed.
basically its daedalic month for you. Just like mine is hog month
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly and Im perfectly okay with that, I love their games
Night of the Rabbit is one of my favorite PnC games, probably top 3 even
Comment has been collapsed.
oh still yet to try night of the rabbit. I have many daedalic but like my hogs they are more like collector items at the moment. But my 1st one I believe was edna and harvey breakout and its stayed my favourite followed by the 1st deponia game, i'm not a big fan on the other 3 after it
Comment has been collapsed.
Ive played the first Edna and Harvey years ago but I barely remember anything about it
Deponia is one i really want to play as well, and I was doubting of adding it to the list this month but I think I prefer the more fantasy world setting of the others.
Maybe if I speedrun through this list Ill add them later but probably not haha
You should definitely give Night of the Rabbit a chance if you like that sort of games, the story is incredibly magical and its set in such an interesting world with all kinds of weird and silly characters
It's one of those games were I almost feel sad that Ive played it already because now I can never experience it again like I did the first time

Dust: An Elysian Tail ( Games won 8+ months ago)
One of my earliest wins, I recall playing it a bit, but stopped for some reason, probably forgot about it after a reformat or something.
Comment has been collapsed.
Complete.
This game was definitely a labor of love, it's so polished.

Superhot
Played a tiny bit when I won it. Now time to complete it.

Congrats on beating a win for October is a "play a game you won on Steamgifts" month, since you were in the group in the past and therefore can't request to join the group again (probably?) feel free to send me a friend request on Steam, if you want to join the group and I will send you an invite. Giveaways are available on the website.

same stuff, same issues, let's keep playing! :P

I'm thinking of starting with one of these three, hoping that I might finish it. (This certification program is even more intense than I expected--I have almost literally no free time.)
Agent Awesome: You don't drink during the game, but the whole plot is the result of a drunken dare (which you see in the title sequence). Would that count? (If not, I believe it would qualify using the HLTB completetionist time.)
Battle for Orion 2: I'd like to submit this as 8+ hours to complete, based solely on my progress so far. (It took 81 minutes to complete 4 of 24 missions. 6 * 81 = 486 minutes = 8 hours, plus a bit because the later missions are bound to be harder and longer.)
Planets Under Attack: (Again. Maybe third time's the charm?) Completionist run is 38 hours according to HLTB, but I will only be aiming to finish the campaign.
(Edited to add:)
12 Labours of Hercules III: Girl Power: Won in October.
Whispering_Willows: Won in October.
Comment has been collapsed.
For Battle for Orion I found this:
6h 49m - Completion Playtime Avg
but it is hard to say how accurate that is so if it ends up talking you over 8 hours I will accept it but I will leave it as unverified till you actually beat it (if you end up doing that). I hope you don't mind.
Best of luck with the games and your certification program! :)

Fair enough! Not sure I'd trust those numbers since most of the completion times appear to be only one minute (if I'm reading it right--but I'm tired enough I can't be sure I am), but I'll be the first to admit my own calculations are just as unreliable. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, thats why I am completely happy to accept the game if it takes you over 8 hours :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Ugh, well this is a first. Submit a random game you own and have no intention of playing this month on the site with a note saying that it is replacing Twisted Lands Trilogy and that will be used for the number count (and therefore being able to enter the giveaways). As for the playtime I will just edit it manually in the leaderboard at the end of the month. While not ideal I guess that should be a good enough workaround?
Comment has been collapsed.
When you develop something, it's really hard to foresee everything and where was one there will be others, so such feedback is appreciated, thanks :-)

We will think about a way to manually add removed games to the database, most probably via a console command.
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess an option where instead of actually picking a game you can just select something like "removed game" and fill in a name should also work? And considering this is the first time it is a problem in 5 months just leaving it like this is not the end of the world either :)
If you will actually add an option thank you to both in advance :)
Comment has been collapsed.

It looks more complicated to me, to be honest. The project architecture is built on the idea that game id is a required field for the event entry, so this adjustment would require some workaround for that (and not messing with existed, or not existed yet, steam IDs) and also some changes in a lot of places.
The "manual add" thingie is easier and feels like a more right thing to do - this way it should be possible to track playtime\achievements (I didn't test it, but I'm pretty sure it should work).
The console command would require you to have only the game ID, which can be found in the user statistics if they played the game recently, or on steamdb, like this.
Maybe we will think of a better idea (maybe add all removed games at once, if it's possible somehow), it needs some thinking and testing, but we will do something in the end ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
I threw in an idea, you should just do whatever you think it is best/easiest :) I am already grateful that you even considering adding that :)
Don't think you can track playtime in a proper way for those. From what I remember doing some testing (on games being banned by Valve from the store) a while back you can kinda see it was played by getting the playtime from the past 2 weeks but it will return the wrong playtime. But it has been awhile so I might be wrong. Achievements should work tho.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just for your information: the site has now a way for me to manually add removed games so I have added the game under your name already and removed the workaround game :)

I found the end very weird... unsuitable? Nah, wrong word. It's an OK option, but I suppose I was just waiting for something else.
However, the whole experience is unique, and I was really enjoying the visuals and listening to the voices. I think it's quite hard to create a story about overcoming something which will hold you all the way and make you feel it. They've done the right balance. Maybe a little more fights at the end than needed :-)
It's definitely one of the best games I've ever played, even if it's not really comparable with any others I could think of

I'v already got 10 hrs in from last month, but I'm only half-way in (beaten half the dungeons). I expect at least another 8 hrs to beat it. I really need to get better at dodging those traps and watching those card shuffles.

8+ months old win allows me to generally pick.
So I went for a cozy point&click, hoping I will complete it faster than 2 months this time.

I'm going with STASIS this month :)
According to HLTB the completion time is 8.5h, so should be fit the category.

Not accepting any more themes because the thread for November is already created.
Comment has been collapsed.
Can't believe we are already at the last theme for this year 😲
So it's Christmas time which is also considered as the birth of Jesus and it's a lot about presents...
Gift Of Life
- 0 CV games ¹
- Games you won around Christmas (24th December - 7 January)
- Games from bundles with charity background (HumbleBundle, Groupees)
- Games where your protagonist has a special gift (ability)
- Games where you have a limited amount of life
- Games where you (try to) save the lifes of others
- Games you won and also gave away yourself ²
- Games where you can send gifts (NPCs, other players)
¹ Current state not just at the time you won it
² @Mouse: If it's too much effort for you/samwise just leave this out. I just liked the idea a lot :)

The year is coming to an end. Only 8.5% left to complete it. Since it's a story related achievement, we can not miss that. But what about the rest? Did you earn some side achievements in your life? Some that were missable, random, limited or even "dlc" based? ...
"Cheevo Hunter"
Games with
- Idle ...
- Grind ...
- Broken ...
- Limited ...
- Random ...
- Missable ...
- Exactly 1 ...
- Speedrun ...
- Date specific ...
- Reach level "X" ...
- Die "number" times ...
- Collect "number" of items ...
- Complete the game on "difficulty" ...
- Complete the game without dying ...
... achievement(s)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep life is all about DLCs, micro transactions and loot boxes and you need multiple playthroughs to get all achievements 😉
Maybe you could add DLC and multiplayer achievements too
Comment has been collapsed.
Sadly we only have one life (aka one playthrough) and the worst part of it is the lack of quicksave. :(
I tried to be "strict". Imo DLC or multiplayer itself covers too many games. Some of the subthemes already cover those types. I like it when the range is tight. :)
Multiplayer:
- Idle (Garry's mod)
- Grind (Doom)
- Broken (Hitman Absolution)
- Reach level "X" (Call of Duty)
DLC:
- Limited (Fallout New Vegas)
- Missable (Skyrim)
- Collect "number" of items (Sleeping Dogs)
Comment has been collapsed.
This means that two ore more achievements can't be achieved within one playthrough, so like "kill x" or "let x live". You have to load a save file or do a second playthrough to get the other

oh okay i get it, wouldn't have gotten that myself but i know I have certain games which requires 2 saves to get everything with their whole complete mini games and skip all

considering its more wins then normal stuff steam gifts are a bit hard to do however there are a few people who aren't doing their wins so it can work technically. Now I wanna do that. i got plenty of gifts and I remember most of them!
Comment has been collapsed.
In rare cases people will also send your wins as a gift because they're buying it directly off Steam for you, rather than giving you a key.

oh okay thats what you mean. ive only had that once and yeah requires a bit of proof

Games that were sent to you as Steam gifts
This one might require a bit of proof from the participants but absolutely lovely theme otherwise ^^

I think if you leave a review Steam shows whether you got the game as a key in the upper right. So maybe that could work?
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh didn't even think of that. It also shows on your product activation and licences page so people would have to prove it with either of those if they would want to enter with that option.

You can still add new games or ask MouseWithBeer to update your stats by editing your "games beaten" post https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/1yjmTOq before the thread is closed.
Or to make it easier for the Mouse just add a new reply to her post https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/d5gOlc2

Depends a bit on if the end of the month is on a week day or weekend. On a week day I will do it a bit earlier and will probably start around 8PM CEST (UTC +2), on a weekend maybe a couple of hours later. The server (for the dates when the event starts and end) it is also set to CEST although everything will switch to CET (UTC+1) by the end of October due to daylight saving nonsense. It does not refresh in October anymore (unless I actually specifically go tell it to) so it doesn't add any playtime that should be there.
And really, it is not a problem at all for me to manually fix anything after I am already done with it, you just need to let me know :)

Yes, I'll probably go with this one. I'm also playing SEUM the speedrunner from hell, but I don't play it in one go but come back from time to time to clear some levels. The only problem is, I have to make some space on my harddrive first :D

Was wondering about the admin side of things, does the website provide some tools for you like to look up the games HTLB, win check etc, or does it help if users add links for these in the notes? ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Well we have links to SG profile with win check, which is nice and makes it faster to verify and if it is a game with achievements, one click on the achievements directs you to steam achievement page of user so you can check achievements and time played.
There is no HLBT check since I think length of a game is not so often taken into account as a game theme, so if you want to be extra nice for this theme, add a link to it's HLTB page. And if you do not have a qualifying win and use your backlog, please note so in your entry, it makes checking faster and makes me a happy slave ;)

Yes any game won in October (any October that is) qualify and also all games won 8+ months ago.

Thanks for the invite. I applied for the group.
I had added Silence as a German game and beat it today. I went for both endings, since the save loads at the beginning of the final scene, and since each has it's own achievement.
I might add another game to the event later, but I'll go for more achievements in Cardinal Quest 2 for now.

I've add Gunmetal Arcadia Zero to the event, which I won Oct 20, 2017. If it helps, here's the link to the giveaway: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/LPk1t/gunmetal-arcadia-zero
The game can be found within the top of this direct link to the second page of my winnings: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/won/search?page=2
If linking like this helps to make your verification process easier, I'll continue to do so in the future.
As for my play history with the game, I tested and explored the beginning of the game for only 45 minutes and only earned one achievement for joining a faction. I believe I didn't even leave the intro part of the game that truly starts the first chapter, since I like to over search for secrets that might or might not be in games.
