Llamasoft LTD shows up now, but there's still no Metascore on my games-list...

...it is there on the product page, though.

BTW, this online registration business, is that totally b0rked? I keep trying, but get "Server error. Try again later" every time.

^^ Its the same for me. It also doesnt show up LLAMASOFT as Company (Space Giraffe has LLAMASOFT listed as company though).

I was able to register my Name though. Online Scores rules!

And yes: I love this games. They are better than i expected, and i totally fell in love with them.
PLEASE MAKE MORE AMAZING GAMES LIKE THAT... I dunno which one i like the most, but i fell so much in love with Gridrunner. Its really like a Revloution of Arcade Gameplay. It adds so much new great elements, which really fits into todays gaming world.

Its like i'm playing, and every few minutes i'm laughing and saying: WOW this is just so amazing and kickass!

Something i thought about today, which almost makes me afraid: What if when Steam is dead? Did i loose Gridrunner and Space Giraffe? :( I want to have this games forever. :)

One thing i also would love would be STEAM CLOUD support. So the Savegame Files and Scores get saved online. It would be amazing to beat your High Scores when you are at a diffrent place then home, and Steam Cloud Support would make it possible.


My little dream still would be a 2 Player Arcade Game like Space Giraffe or Gridrunner. Do anyone think this Dream might come true someday? :)


I also want to add: The games are amazingly good in terms of Configuration. Widescreen Support, Gamepad Support, and it works all well. Just a little thing i would still love would be a, a sensitivity adjustment for the Rotation of a Ship (so for the second analog stick). I think its pretty fast, and i would like to have it a bit slower. Other than that, its flawless, and almost every Indie Game Dev's should take your games as role models in terms of configuration.

Strange, the MC score shows up for me if I browse all games alphabetically, and appears on this page:

How are you browsing Steam in order to get your screenshot?

The list Anders posted seems to be missing lot of games from the main A-Z list between GTA4 and GRR. :?

Aah right.

Well Gyromancer in his list has a Metacritic score and that's not showing up either, so maybe it's not that imporant? :wink:

Some people can see them, some can't. Don't lose any sleep over it.

I blame the different drivers/programs in a million different PCs. :wink:

Sure! For me its also displaying the MetaScore in the Shop, but not in the Game List. Anyway, today i tryed out the new STEAM BETA which is kinda nice. It doesnt even display any Metascore for any game.

Here I uploaded a PIC: http://www.img-teufel.de/uploads/gridru ... 5ccpng.png

The Background Pic for SPACE GIRAFFE and GRIDRUNNER REVOLUTION are always changing. They are minium 5 diffrent ones. Its really nice :)



What about my other "dreams and wishes"?

- Steam Cloud Support
- Sensitivity Settings for Analog Stick 2 (Rotating Ship)

- Will there maybe one day a 2 Player game in the same fashion as GRIDRUNNER REVOLUTION and SPACE GIRAFFE

Are you able to create an Official Steam Group for GRR and SG?

Although the "old" Steam interface doesn't highlight groups very much, the "new" one (now in beta) does, and it seems like it could be a valuable opportunity.

If you meant me : I would open a official Group if you want :) I just tried and i could ...

EDIT: Ah no i just can open a Regular Group but NO Official one .... I guess that only can do developers (ore similair). I did a quick search on google and the steamforums, but noone ever have asked how to open a official group. SO if you want i can open a Regular Public Group and call it Official, but it wont show up in the OFFICIAL GROUPS List then. :/

Eh .. "the problem of things like Steam" I suppose.

NO IDEA what happens "if Steam is down", admittedly I am not a Steam user, technically "the program runs all by its own
without any Steam need", the only thing Steam does on it is its DRM and such.
heythanks wrote: One thing i also would love would be STEAM CLOUD support. So the Savegame Files and Scores get saved online. It would be amazing to beat your High Scores when you are at a diffrent place then home, and Steam Cloud Support would make it possible.
But it's already possible with the LS scores as well.

If you install the program on <whatever else> as long as you register ( on the score boards ) with THE SAME
nickname/pwd you used "you can make scores anywhere they'll all go there", even if you do a score when you are NOT
online the next moment you'll manage to go online your score will be synched, the highest one will be always there.

In theory I could save/load "whatever I want of the game" to/from the DB, but for this time we focused on "scores
only" I did not want before some "good testing and see how it goes" to "clutter a database" with a lot of stuff, plus
I had no idea about how many people we could have in, how many resources and such.

Also, that score thing been added later in quite a relatively short time, there's lot of space for improvement on it.

There was a "two players mode" on the very very first developement of GRR, but it wasn't working that well, plus it
was needing two controllers and such, in the end it's been took away. Well yes maybe some time your dream will
become true, never stop dreaming :wink:

Thanks, it took me a FUCKLOAD of swearing and headache to support all that, in the end, as it is .. let's say I learnt some
things from it and "next time" there would be quite a number of things I'd do quite a bit differently.

I can only say and I won't reveal anything else in this time that "I am really truly super busy" and that "lot already been
done", Neon on 360 is "super ancient", Space Giraffe is "really old" and now GRR is "old" as well .. it's already been
superseded by .. something new ..

LS always aims to improvements, we are not scared to thrash things away, keep all the good and re-do things even
better than before 8)

Your problems next time will be your eyes popping out and your yaw falling down and how to survive that :twisted:

You should be fine if Steam goes down. My Internet connection was gone for two weeks recently, and I still enjoyed my Psychonauts and Torchlight just fine. Steam has an offline mode that you can tell it to activate if it keeps failing to connect to the server, so you can still play everything you've bought.

If all else fails, people manage to crack Steam-exclusive games all the time, anyway..

So... What about a Offical Group? I would love to find more people on Steam playing this lovely game :)

I could create one, and the new Beta would even point it, when clicking on GROUPS in the Game's Info, BUT it would NOT be listed in the Official Groups. With you're OK i could call it Official though, so many people could find it through the usual search?! :)

Or just ask the Steam Guys if they'll create a Official SG & GRR Group!?
