I, as a crazy person, check the new release list on Steam every day on the off chance something interesting might otherwise slip by unnoticed. So far I’ve only really discovered one game this way, but it did briefly fill me with the silly worry that we might someday run out of names for games.
I was freed from this fear as there are so many random or incomprehensibly-named games released each day that I’m sure that well will never run dry. I’ve decided to copy some of them here for a while as I like to pretend that things I do aren’t completely without purpose, and in the axe as I’m not sure in a week’s time I won’t be embarrassed by the stupidity of this.
I do this too!! My favorite are the RPG Maker games made by westerners who try to mimic JRPG naming conventions by throwing together a bunch of random words and colons.
Steam has switched from “we have some minimal amount of oversight” to “occasionally we’ll decide after the fact that we didn’t really want you to put Actual Pornography on our service, but only if we notice.”
It’s too bad that stuff like this coexists with things like Gay World, because I love that Steam is this new place for really weird amateur games. But I can actually pay money for them!!!
EDIT: oh my god this description:
“What’s the result of not quitting a day job and toiling off-hours for 8 years? This hot pile of garbage! Enjoy a mishmash of random ideas that have popped in my head over the past decade, shoved into a 2D-Platforming game!”
