Congrats to everyone who successfully participated last month, here are the final statistics:

  • 2777 achievements have been achieved
  • 1769.3 hours have been played
  • 170 games have been beaten
  • 71 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 September for the next couple of days (till the September thread is closed).


The theme for this month is

OKTOBERFEST!

(Thank you to PsychoApeMan for the suggestion!)

Games that qualify for it are:
Games in which you can drink alcohol - please provide some kind of proof for this one
Games made or set in Germany - Handy list of German developers
Games released or won in October
Games with "Oct-" prefix (i.e. at the beginning of a word) or "8" (anywhere) in the title
Games with exactly 8 characters (letters/digits/symbols) in the title
Games costing 8P to enter giveaway
Games with 8+ hours time to beat - use HLTB times, either one of the 3 works.
Games won 8+ months ago

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.


You can submit this months games you are going to play here:

:D 🐧
Submit your game on https://pagywosg.xyz/events/5
fill: Game; Subcategory; in Notes — you may include screenshot url; Played status — beaten. And after that you will get "Game verified" & "Played status verified" statuses (Mouse or Samwise will do it manually, so up to 24h+). If something wrong — they let you know here, under your comment; if all good — you'll get GA links on the site

Looks fine! After some time your number of achievements & played time will update on the site (it's automatic I believe, but happens not very often, maybe twice a day or once); and it's not necessarily to include achievements url in notes (you can just click on "trophy" icon)

1 week left bump

Well I don't like the pressure to actually have to play a game, because I simply don't have the time for it, to guarantee to finish a game. But this month I can actually participate as I already completed a game I won this month! 😄😎

So I participate with "Metrico+" and also with "The Deed" I also just won and just finished.

Just a little question: Whats the difference between "completed" and "beaten"?

"Completed" means you got all the achievements.
"Beaten" - just finished the main story.

Well, game done. Since 1 week left I'll not start another, finishing another SG win I was midway, and just generally working on backlog. Dunno where really to mention these, maybe another reserved after "what are you playing" about "what did you complete". Now people generally respond on their own post in their start, and that wont notify you (then again, maybe it's not needed anyway). Just my 2 cents. Will try finishing another game next month, after spending 2+ months on one game a game in a month was refreshing :)

As long as the game is added to the website and marked as beaten/completed accordingly I don't really need to be notified (unless there is something specific about it that I should be aware of when approving, but that can also be left in the notes on the website). Generally people can talk about non theme/event games they are going to play under "Reply to this comment with the games you are going to play this month." as long as they specify that is the case, but I can most certainly make another comment for non theme/event games where people can mention whatever they want next month :)

And congrats on the beaten game! :)

They are not? They are all being counted. Try to refresh the page with ctrl + f5 because I think you are seeing some old data.

They were like that "Stats before the start of the event:
14 - 0h" but I edit them when I posted the upper post to 0 - 0h,my Beholder also had a similar thing so I edited it too

Also the table in this thread (I don't know if you do the addding manually or somehow auto with script or something)
"AbdAllahMohamedRefat 84 70.7 4" hours and game completed correct but not achievements

It is not a big deal, I know you put a lot of time and effort into this for which we all thankful :)

When the website syncs the playtimes/achievements it screws up sometimes and sets the starting achievements/playtime at whatever it was when it synced. I always try to fix it when approving things (and I do specifically recall fixing Hellblade, I don't remember about Beholder) so the playtimes/achievements are correct so I am not sure what happened to that one sorry :/

The leadersboard should be updated to show the right info in a few minutes :)

Same thing for me. I check every entry for correct times/achievements before approving. If it is screwed up somewhere simply let us know and we'll fix it 😊

Hey, i was hoping to finish SOMA and submit, but i really love it and wanted to enjoy instead of rushing it. I currently have 17.4 hours on the game, yet looks like it will take a little more time.

Those are my stats (still unfinished), i hope it is enough to enter the giveaway, i didn't want to miss GRIS :)

Hey, sorry but I am afraid I can't take an unfinished game as it wouldn't be far to other people :/ If it is of any consolation you can submit it for November instead (story rich), although no GRIS giveaway for now at least.

Hmm, that's fair :/

Is it ok if i can finish it in 1-2 days tho? ( I am asking because "I am still accepting any edits/applications for September for the next couple of days")

I am still accepting any edits/applications for September for the next couple of days

That is meant for any games finished within 12 hours of the end of the event (because timezones), any mistakes on my part with counting achievements/playtime or anyone forgetting to mark a game as beaten (that they did actually beat it in time) not for people who finish games a few days late.
