Primordia
Very good sci-fi point-and-click adventure game. Great post-apocalyptic atmosphere, art-style and characters. Well done story and puzzles. Get this one!

With more than 26k followers we have reached the top of page 3 of all curators
(Rank 21) and we will reach page 2 in the next few days.

Thanks goto all who helped me. We are the most important RPG curator on Steam right now and we will catch the Roguelikes very soon

PS: Don't forget the equally important but underrated GogMix

It's not hard work for me at all - playing RPGs and hybrids is still a hobby that I'm doing for ca. 33 years now. If it becomes real work I would stop it.

I'm buying a few more games nowadays and try out a few more sub genres - that's all. I got many new connections and friends at Steam and Twitter due to Steam curating.
The Steam Group reached a new high member count as well: 540 members.

And I think we have new members here at the RPGWatch site since last September, too. All in all a win-win situation for RPGWatch and the RPGWatch-Steam group.

That was fast - one curator entry was deleted by Steam.
We are now in the top 20!

A better logo? That concept is so 2006.

I demand it be a potato on that Logo instead. Cause I love self-aggrandizement.

Joking aside I asked a few members to help us create a better logo, but never got a reply back last year. Also Aubrielle was working on one for the website.

I always liked the Halloween theme.
And I created a ruin and a cloud design some time ago.
I really love the WinterWatcher, but I don't know if someone has rights on it.

I liked the third one as it's a more modern version of the logo we have now. I remember showing it to Aubrielle last year for feedback, seems we forgot about it sorry Hidden X.

The Halloween logo we use is a good choice also, and maybe just change the color? I always liked the dark background. Maybe keep that and make a day version?

If someone wants to experiment, here are some Watchtowers:

On the other hand:
Is it really wise to change an established logo?

Good question. I think crisping it up is fine. Changing the background a bit should be fine too. Keeping the watchtower is a must, I think.

For a square logo (in Steam) I'd just take a horizontal centered simplistic (1-bit) watchtower and "RPGWatch" below. Black on blue or something.

Edit: Something like this, but more pretty of course:

You could just use the tower from the current logo.

Saw Venetica on the list and bought it. Is this game any good? It looked fairly interesting….
