Do you mean wrong in the way that all art is the product of limitation / the things you wanted to be different, or do you mean it didn't splash as anticipated and you have your theories to why?

Either way it could be interesting to read, perhaps avoid those pitfalls.

Last few Steam Next Fest I've ended up wish listing 10% of the 1500+ games participating in each.

There are so many neat games, I'm drowning.

GenAI making you question all art is a real nightmare.

While I have my reservations about the accuracy of self reporting, so far most people who use gen AI don't see it as a negative and are pretty open about it.

So unless proven otherwise, I'd take the dev's word about it (or lack there of).

Pour one out for all the games I had to remove from my wishlist upon closer inspection revealing they were using AI.

It always tears my heart out cause its always for the most inane shit like marketing images and voice work.
7/7

This one just has a cool art style. That really is enough to end up on my wishlist.
There are 1500+ games each next fest, and they all start to look the same after awhile.

Something I love about retro graphics is the inherent stylization it demands of you.
6/7

Loop//Error on Steam

Alone in the dead of night, you find yourself sent on a simple errand to check on a quiet gas station on the outskirts of town. But nothing here feels right. You can’t outrun this place. It wants you. And it will keep you.

Cyan Heart seems to have an interesting gimmick of our perspective being locked to a phone's video recording.
Hope it plays as well as it looks.
5/7

I'm floored this is the first I'm hearing that House is getting a sequel. The first game is such a great time loop puzzle box and I hope this can live up to it.

Graphics are way different... I hope that doesn't bug me once I'm in it. 4/7

There were a plethora of terrible trailers this round. So Steam tries to pick a clip in the center of the video, cause likely that's the apex of gameplay.

But so many didn't have gameplay in the center, or the beginning. I don't wanna see text and logos, I want to see the game. 3/7

Vladimere Lhore @vladimerelhore.bsky.social · 7d

It's annoying to have to open the game page and scroll to the bottom just to see if they botched all the effort they did put in.

It would also be nice if the Steam genre tag system was better, and I could elect to ignore certain genres.

There were so many desktop idle games to sift through 2/7

Vladimere Lhore @vladimerelhore.bsky.social · 7d

And done? They say I got to the end, but giving the other tabs a glance, there were so many games they didn't show me. So ???

Lower Wishlist conversion than last time. Higher AI slop ratio too.

I wish Steam gave games with an AI disclosure a badge to make them more instantly identifiable. 1/7

Oh shit, it's Steam Next Fest already??

Welp, time to dive back in and browse every game in the discovery queue just to be sure Steam ain't burying any gems.

Wager they see that key as worth the asking price. Like they just gave you $5-$80 and you pocketed it.

Folks who get mad over that are probably the same types that think piracy is theft.

I've been working on a Bitey platformer. Thinking about calling it 'Santa's Undead Helper'.
