£70 is in my steam wallet for some reason. So I'm prepared.

No cards are regularly selling for only 12 cents. The closest are the TF2 cards that are in the 30s. I have instantly resold cheap cards I have bought multiple times, usually making at least 40-50 cents profit.
20 frame delay after a jump on a wall, so you could reposition yourself.
Summer sale... I am ready.
Best armor to use against the sales, is the armor of poverty.

Any opinions of the NASCAR game?
Based on the beta is it worth it?

Okay, thanks for the answer.
On a related note: I really wish you could spawn and move straight away after dying. Having to wait for even a splitsecond makes it a lot less smooth and a lot more frustrating than it needs to be.

In my world, Super House of Dead Ninjas would be seen as the de facto roguelike platforming game and not Spelunky.

I prefer this world then. Super House is still good and all, but its focus on rushing downward with invincibility rage time makes it less interesting than navigating the traps and risk vs reward of the generated levels in Spelunky.

I could be homeless and I'd still buy from Gaben over procuring myself a nice cardboard shanty.

I don't know if this has been answered but do the devs/pubs get a cut of Valve's share on card selling ? It could be a pretty nice incentive for some publishers to go on Steam since Valve is basically printing money out of thin air right now (well there's still the art cost).
I asked before but I don't think anyone knows.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I really doubt it. But they benefit from the fuckton of extra sales that having trading cards gives them
It's been asked and answered quite a bit, and it's in the STC FAQs.
- The developer (or publisher) gets 10% of the price when a card gets sold in the Steam Market.
- Valve gets 5% of the price
(Valve gets 15% total for STCs for L4D2, Portal, CS:GO, DOTA2, HL2 etc for obvious reasons)
That is a decent incentive right there. Imagine the amount of money big games could make from that for sticking some concept art up.

Allrighty then, thanks.
I also need to add in the Trading Card thread as well.
Those will take a little time since I have to Photoshop up some more backgrounds. I also want to edit the original ones since they aren't cut out correctly.
Anyone know what was used for that striped black background in the Steam pictures? If I had a high resolution render I could start one from scratch.
Right now, I pieced it together by cutting out part, copy/ pasting, and lining up the diagonal lines.
This is what I am referring to, what was the original render for the background?

Go home dinosaur cards are at 30 cents. I made a huge mistake...

It's just a gradient and a pattern.

It looks fun enough and for 2.50 I can't complain. I picked it up knowing they would drop.
Cool. Also, awesome thread!

The SS Infinity card I'm waiting to sell went down to .50 during the sale and is now over 1.30. Sold a Dinosaur one for 0.80€ and will sit on the rest for a few days.

Over three weeks away. And Mars was 9,99$ in an amazon.com bundle for a day. Maybe it will come back but it's been a few day, so probably not.
Normally it would be since that is jpg compressed so coming up with an identical one would be somewhat tedious, but you can settle for one that just looks very similar. Like this.

Do I have any chance for foil cards if I am level 8, or should I go level 10?
Last Baron

Everyone can get foil cards now. They dropped the level requirement.

There is no limit anymore.

haha. I delisted all of mine earlier and I am waiting until they rise back up.
I hope they change the "Badge Collector" showcase to let you specify which 6 badges to display. I kind of just want to get a set of six level 5 or foil badges for the indie games I like the most, and call it a day and sell any other cards I come across.
Hope Dean hurries up and finishes the trading cards for Dust.

From what I've seen of the trading card markets, I wouldn't advise buying games solely for the trading cards, you'll almost certainly lose money. That said, it's a nice bonus for games you're always going to buy (or have already put down money for, such as Skullgirls and Carmageddon Reincarnation in my case).

Just went through my market history. I sold 101 cards so far, 0 foils. Feels bad man.
EDIT: Wait, it includes buying and selling. So maybe 10 less. Still bad.
