jefequeso: EDIT: I really wish he'd at least put a link in the video description.
By seeing his response "Yeah.Didn't though.") in the comments when called on that, he really looks like an asshole... And the way he reads texts makes me cringe... Even Pewdiepie puts up links to every games he plays.

Oh well, in case, you don't have it in your links, here's a list of videogame youtubers with contact infos (or just the channel):

I think I had another list like that but it's on my other computer, I'll try to search it.
Saw the game on Steam: congrats again :)
Yeah Jim Sterling really doesn't like these kinds of games. He has said that on multiple occasions. That being said: he spend a lot more time on the moon sliver then he did on many other so that must count for something and he wasn't really harsh on the game either. Also there a some positive comments too. I would consider this extra exposure. If he wouldn't have gotten stuck he might have even finished it and that would have been bad (I don't think a lot of people would still buy it if they would have already seen the entire game on youtube).
Congrats on making it through Greenlight! Activated the code I got through Groupees for it today. :)

Oh, and at the moment you have an 84% positive rating on Steam (higher than e.g. Dear Esther or Gone Home), so congrats about that too!

Meh, your game is of little interest to the group of people incapable of typing 2 words in Steam search bar.

edit: Well damn, The Moon Sliver is now listed amongst Steam's "Popular new releases" as opposed to ... well, regular new releases

Yeah, apparently he is. Always got that impression from him, although I never cared to watch any of his videos to find out.

Oh well.

Thanks for the list. I sent out emails when I first released the game a few months ago, but I'll probably send out another batch now that I have some Steam "street cred"

So why the fuck would he buy and play one? I made it perfectly clear in the description what the game is.

Just so he can stomp on someone who isn't as successful as he is? Then refuse to actually credit their work in any way? I mean, I like giving people the benefit of the doubt, but that's an incredibly dickish thing to do in your spare time.

I was glad to see that there were at least a few positive comments. It is interesting to me how the Youtube comments often align with the opinion of the LPer. LPs that have been positive toward my games usually have a lot of positive comments, LPs that have been negative usually have negative comments.

I wonder if it's because people tend to watch LPers that they agree with, or if it's because people's opinions are easily swayed. Or both.

Just wanted to say how awesome it is that you've actually made a game. I've been debating buying it (this is my sort of game) since it released. I hope it's going well on Steam for you. :-)
Also just noticed Moon Silver under "popular," congratulations!
70% off already :o

Austrobogulator: 70% off already :o
Yeah, I saw this too. Does this mean it'll be in a bundle soon?
Moon Sliver is right at the top of the Halloween sales promo, next to Sanitarium. Have to say this is inspiration for me to actually finish one of my projects and try to get it up somewhere. Would love to see something I've created listed along games like that :p Seems a deep price cut though.

Good job anyways! I keep seeing it popping up here and there so it's getting decent exposure. Hope it continues to do well. And ignore the negative criticism, people make a living from OTT faux emotion on youtube over things they don't really understand/care about, and it tends to rile viewers into feeling the need to regurgitate the hyperbole they just witnessed in the comments for whatever reason. It's best to just ignore them in my opinion.

Belated congratulations, jefequeso! It is quite an achievement not "only" to be able to finish your game but also receive positive feedback and get on Steam. Good luck with sales and growing your fanbase ;).

That's just what he does on youtube. He plays unknown games that just appeared on steam. He also plays them without research or going into options or whatever and then he tries to be funny sometimes by ridiculing the game. some find that entertaining sometimes he comes off as a complete asshole. The response to your link comment was him being a real dick.

What agreeing with the LP is concercerned: that's quite normal since people tend to subscribe to channels that they like and agree with (not all but most).

EDIT: thank you btw for giving out steam codes to people who previously bought your game!

EDIT2: Just noticed that the moon sliver is part of the Halloween sale. Prepare for some backlash from people who bought it two days ago.... (Christmas sale might have been a better idea)

Yeah... I was told it would be part of the Halloween sale, but at the normal 20% off. I didn't have any hand in the 70% discount. I'm going to have to contact Steam about this.

Oww that's kinda a big fuck up on steam's part.. Do they give you back the money you lost because of this or are you okay with the discount? You also seems to have no decision in this? As you were told it would be part of it? Maybe I just don't know how this works and everybody else does but i find that a bit odd.
