Goddamn that's a pretty impressive list. Lots of gems and forgotten things. Whatever happened to the Dungeons of Dredmor team? I'd kill for a sequel/successor

Dungeonmans is super good, yeah. Incidentally, Dungeonmans was made by madjackmcmad, and Tangledeep by Zircon.

Almost forgot, I do have another game on Steam from a couple years ago. It's free but very short. https://store.steampowered.com/app/872240/Nick_Beard_The_Fedora_of_Destiny/ Simone Magus posted:Desktop Dungeons was super rad and I don't think they've followed up at all Probably one of my favorite games.

I made IncrediMarble which is here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1488100/IncrediMarble/ It's also on iOS, on the MacOS store tonight, and on Android at some point in the next couple months but it seems like the spreadsheet is just for steam links so, there you go.

Paradox's map games tend to have goon pedigree. Wiz was hired for his Crusader Kings II mods, and later headed the Stellaris team along which also employed LordMune.

Not defending Jack, but this video has some wrong information about the rest of the team. Jack wasn't living with the other devs while Brigador was being made, he was living several states away.

I'm a goon of days past. In fact I auditioned for voice actors on these very boards only to get a young Total Biscuit on board for one of my games. It was a different time. I made The Last Stand, Warfare 1917 and Crush the Castle amongst other web games years ago under the name Con Artist Games. Now working on The Last Stand: Aftermath - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1266840/The_Last_Stand_Aftermath/

Yeah, there's several goons at Paradox. cKnoor works there too. He's talked about getting in thanks to his experience with lets plays, but I forget the details. I think it was in the community management side of things.

Total Biscuit did voiceacting for a game called Space Pirates and Zombies, back in the day: https://store.steampowered.com/app/107200/Space_Pirates_and_Zombies/. Rather a tenuous link, but it's still an excellent game. The Yogscast are also goons, but the Yogventures never amounted to anything.

Dredging up some ancient memories. Some of them so vague that they are completely unhelpful, like I remember at least a couple of Telltale employees posting on the forums roughly during the Sam & Max and Tales from Monkey Island period. Something actually specific though is House of the Dying Sun by Kairo, as a one-man production. Took me a while to dig up the archived thread and confirm my memories.

I also have been trying to dredge up some old memories and now I remember that there was this game called Actual Sunlight which got posted about by its author here about seven years ago or more. I don't remember who they are though and it's a goddamn mess trying to find anything in the archives. But seems like they have been busy since there's been two other games released since. I do remember Actual Sunlight resonating with some goons due to the game's handling of themes like depression.

Oh yeah, trying to find info about Actual Sunlight in an ancient Steam Greenlight thread that used to be around, I found that goon Yodzilla is/was part of a small studio that released at the time a game called Stick & Move, which is only available on itch.io -- for some reason, they never bothered putting it on Steam.

Spreadsheet FINALLY updated, adding 16 new games to the list, as well as a few to the goon-team list. We're at 53 goon-made games that you can go to steam or itch.io and purchase, and most of them are good! Notes: - To anyone providing usernames, THANK YOU, it feels good to fill those in and I suck at exploring the archives - As I am a mostly PC-user, the list has focused on steam/itch/PC-based storefronts. Please tell me about games on other platforms, though! - As for persons like TotalBiscuit and CliffyB, I am not putting them on the list as - as I understand events - they are their own brands instead of goons? If I am wrong, let me know. If anyone is willing, please provide impressions or reviews of goon-made games you have played. I intend to starting writing up at least one tomorrow, schedule permitting.

Strix, would you prefer that everyone just post the usernames in thread when we have them? I could PM also if you don't want a bunch of repeat posts about the same games. I think I may even have some links to some of the game dev posts I found most interesting in the past.

Alright, some updated info... Interstellaria - by Crow Zone (previously posted under screen name Coldrice) Signs of Life - by Lucid Dream Fort Meow - by RhysD We Need To Go Deeper - by Bert of the Forest Dragon: A Story About a Dragon - by Fur20 (previously posted under screen name The White Dragon) Guild of Dungeoneering - by retro sexual - This is a good one to check in the Making Games thread to show how much the game is transformed when the art comes together, especially when they starting tweening the poo poo out of everything. Really cool stuff. Disco Elysium - by kinnas - Posted in the Making Games thread back when the game was still called No Truce For The Furies. Not too many posts, but it's really cool to see early placeholders, concepts and work-in-progress stuff. Hollow Knight - by George Lazenby - There were dev posts in Making Games as well as the Kickstarter thread, and then the Hollow Knight thread later on. The KS thread is a good read to show the run up to a successful KS campaign. Also, it's amazing to me how complete, well realized and coherent the aesthetic on that game seems to have been from its earliest public emergence. Particularly when this dev's previous game he posted about looked like this:  Also, here are some others that I remembered... SCRAPS - by Nition The Consuming Shadow and Hatfall - by Yahtzee EDIT - VVV Oh yeah! That one is by asmasm. NObodyNOWHERE fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Feb 6, 2021 |

Wrench is goonmade, though I can't off the top of my head recall the handle of the goon involved. They post occasionally in the Making Games Megathread though.

Finally found the author of Actual Sunlight through the drat forum archive, it's NeonCowboy. Still posts occasionally, made other games like Guildmaster Story, which they were giving out for free in GBS last year. While looking through the archives, I found some posts from good ol' Doug Dinsdale, who used to be a frequent poster in Nintendo related threads. He is (or at least used to be) the main Japanese translator for games like Pokemon or Dragon Quest, not every entry, but quite a few important ones. Made up that classic line "shorts are comfy and easy to wear". Thought it would be relevant to mention.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/350150/Scraps_Modular_Vehicle_Combat/ The developer of Scraps is a goon and posted about it in the Kickstarter thread. That song has been stuck in my head ever since. Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSLy2CmLT7w It's the song from this original trailer video, made by the developer himself, that is stuck in my head, not the one from the Steam video.
