Hey guys,

Long time no see.


Maybe some of you remember Get The Gems, a Boulder Dash / Emerald Mine-like game I made with Blitz3D ages ago.

I uploaded an earlier version on Steam Greenlight in Summer 2014, just to gain some experience on how the whole Steam stuff works ( Greenlight, SteamWorks, the SDK, the rating system and so on ), and how to become a Steam Partner.

After uploading it to Greenlight, I kinda locked it away and forgot about it.

End of summer 2016, it got surprisingly Greenlit. So I tweaked almost all caves, had most of the sounds replaced by a friend of mine, added 21 achievements ( BIG THANKS to Xaymar for his help and his BlitzSteam Wrapper !! ), improved the Windowed Mode and some other stuff.

Official Steam release was finally on 11.11.2016!

If you guys want to have a look, here's the link:

It's VERY oldschool style, so don't expect anything fancy. I'm just a big Boulder Dash / Emerald Mine fan, and I always wanted to do something similar.


Cheers,
PSY

Congrats. At least you will get some money from it.

EDIT: Just saw your post in the other forum. You picked the right tool I think! :-)
