Bermuda
6 hours playtime
no achievements
Another short game beaten!
As you can see here on the right, it was Bermuda’s turn, a pretty short Visual Novel title.
This one didn’t have any choice for me, just click next next next.. (haven’t played many VN so I don’t know if they are all like this)
BUT! it had some “stealth” (or should I say “puzzle”?) elements too (one per act/level), which I do enjoyed :)
Can’t say anything about sound as I’m having problems with my audio output.
I didn’t like the fact that I couldn’t resize the gaming-windows, it was either fullscreen or almost sullscreen -_-
Played in one sitting, so I don’t know anything about savegames (not that you’ll need ‘em.. I was even able to choose which level to play right from the beginning)
Story was kind of cliched but it wasn’t long enough to lead to boredom. (most of playtime is just idling-time)
This was an sg win! 
This game should apply for the monthly theme, feet category but I’ve seen the only entries for this (Akantha’s) is flagged as invalid so I’ll wait to know what to do before submitting it (revilheart, are you reading this?) =P
Problem is, I couldn’t take screenshots via Steam during the game. I took one from the credit but in an “unofficial” way.
UPDATE: here’s the math for the value:
[ (HLTB_AVG=1h12m 1,20) + (HLTB_FULL=1h30m 1,50) ] / 2 => 1,35
[ 1,35 + (ASTATS_AVG 1,60) ] / 2 => 1,475 => 1,48
..and here’s the link to the imgur album with the screenshot(s).
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ !stats, !breakdown
Fortunately there are many VNs with gameplay and choices. :)
I believe VNs without interaction with the story are called Kinetic novels but don’t quote me on that.
Oh, then that’s the problem. Akantha’s entry is flagged as invalid because her profile is lacking screenshots. If you managed to take one, just post it and it will count. :)
I did it but via another software (Greenshot) so I should upload it to imgur or similar.. does it still count this way?
EDIT: Because I don’t think it’s possible to upload (on Steam) screenshots not properly taken with Steam..
Yep, just upload it to Imgur.
Done. Now I’m gonna try to calculate its value and update the submission post =P
Added the math to the post. Hope it’s right :)
Hm, I didn’t think about including AStats’ average time in the calculations, I was only including “hours main story” and “hours to 100%”, and since Bermuda lacks these two, I only used HLTB, but it’s a nice idea to use AStats’ average. I’ll change it. So now when AStats only has the average time, I’ll add it to both HLTB times and take the average of them:
F = (1.2 + 1.6) / 2 = 1.4
C = (1.5 + 1.6) / 2 = 1.55
R = (1.4 + 1.55) / 2 = 1.48
Which is the same you did, I just did it separately. :P And I always round up to 2 decimal places.
HA-HAA! I managed to make you change it once again!
(did because last time I was going to use only one site then asked and you said to use both) =P
I left the 3rd decimal because I didn’t know if you were to round the 5 up or down :)
Careful ‘cause it can change again. :P Read below.
lol will it stop evolving before the end of the theme? :P
Probably not. :P I even thought about making a huge change last week, but I changed my mind.
wasn’t there an issue with AStats times being outdated? ^^
Was there? ‘Cause I can still change it again and use only HLTB for times, while using AStats only for the achievement points.
I saw it mentioned in the theme main post comments, something about times not updated when achievements change
So… is mine still invalid? I didn’t know that it was. :(
Here is a link to my Imgur album.
Direct links to screenshots of credits that I took. 1 2
I was going to ask you about it, but I forgot. I thought maybe you had included the game but hadn’t taken the screenshots yet. I’ll change it when I get home, and I’ll also add something about it in the entry post.
Hmm. Okay.
it is, but need to lookup how ^^
Really? But with some kind of “cheat”, right? I looked but didn’t see anything (only the possibility to upload in the “images” section)
It’s not cheating.
There’s two ways - easiest, upload as artwork and then there’s this other way which make them show up as screenshots but it’s a pain and sometimes doesn’t work immediately. :|
Guide
I wrote “cheat” but maybe I should had wrote “exploit” or something similar.. I meant a workaround for something that Valve does not let/allow us to do.
Yeah, exploit sounds like the right word to use. I don’t think they mind too much just so long as it’s not in poor taste.
