And there it is ( on Steam )

[PVB]

Yup, Metacritric score was there and all the developer details and such when I looked last night.

Well done Giles.

As you and others have said, a pity about that PC Powerplay review lowering the average. What is needed is another high score from someone that Metacritic recognises. After all, it only has 8 critic reviews and there are a lot more than that who MC takes notice of.

The letter been answered, so hopefully soon you'll see the SG price being adjusted as well as the "combo" SG + GR REV on sale on Steam

[ALLseeingEYE]

Nice Giles! sounds like they may have actually removed you guys from that Spam filter

Would be nice to see some more love given to the ol' Giraffe. I could definitely see a bundle pushing some copies.

I think that is unfortunately a bit the fate of LS productions in general.

I think we could say "the can generate strong opposite sentiments"

So probably for each one loving them to bits there could be someone hating them to death.

The problem is "people don't understand about variance, only mean
at most"

When you have a thing 100 - 0 , then (100+0)/2 = 50 it defnitely is
not the same as (50+50)/2 = 50.

Is it worth 100 or is it worth 0 ? Certainly is not worth 50

Awesome! I bought both games when they came out but for $15, I couldn't resist buying them again on Steam. It'll make my life a lot easier when I format and re-install my OS tomorrow. Thank you for getting them up there! I still can't see the Metacritic scores (or Llamasoft LTD on GR:R) but I'm happy to have them on STEAM.

I'm all for buying the 2 titles on Steam, but they're priced too high. They're selling a bundle on the developer site for $15 and here on Steam it's double that for both of them.
Equal that price guys and I'll buy it in a minute.

The price was corrected today, and I did, indeed, buy it.

The score and company details are there for GRR:



But no Metacritic score listed for SG:

[gilesgoat]

I was about to write about this, PVB beaten me

Besides .. "I have no email about all this", so the thing went up but I really did not know .. until someone else told me
"hey look is up" .. " .. toh .. " ..

Anyway yes, is up, we'll make some annoucement/press release later I think.

Don't ask me "why a thing looks different" I can guarantee you that, in dollars, the price of SG and GR REV is exactly
the same, mysteries of conversion rates I suppose ( or some browser cookie or I dunno what ).

Ah before someone asks "SG PC" has NO metacritics score Because we miss reviews for it.

We did get some reviews but only one that made MC, SG 360 on the other side of course is on MC.

[edit] - apart some communication issues I really love the job done by the Steam guys, their website and all certainly
looks "stylish and professional"

Now if people have to complain for the price any more, I think "the combo is really good value for money"

That did puzzle me a bit "I won't buy them separately as they're too expensive, but will when they're priced together cheaper!"

They save (approx.) £2.

Well .. it would be a couple of espressos in Italy ...

Well, in USD there's a $5 savings over buying them separately, or 25% of the combined price. And the bundle is fully half the price of buying them separately 2 days ago.

Still a bargain though, IMHO.

Let's see you appear on the high score tables now.

Bloody brilliant. I knew I wanted this game since I found out it was being made. Huge fan of Space Giraffe. But the price was too steep for me to buy in my state of unemployedness. I was reading up on it a couple of days ago, discussed with a friend how people have been waiting for it to go up on Steam for forever, but nothing's happened...

The day after, I search for it on Steam just for kicks, and find it had been added earlier that day! For cheaper, too! I considered spending my last coin on the game, checked my bank statement and found I was suddenly rich. So I bought it. And by Flossie, it's amazing.

Later, I proceeded to accidently kick ass at the C64 game, went to brag about it, and noticed that the Vic-20 and C64 hiscore tables on the Llamasoft website seem to be swapped! Someone oughta take a peek at that, shouldn't be hard to fix. It's astounding how well a game from '82 holds up just by adding online leaderboards, though. I never thought I'd spend so much time playing the old versions.


Also, Giles, you'll be happy to know I read the entire readme when I first tried the demo, way back last year.

Nice to see this on there - should hopefully mean a few more sales.

They haven't put the forum link on the Gridrunner page though, and they don't have demos of either game...
