Festivals - Headliners
Design your Event Sites, Book Artists, Build your Career as a Promotor and Produce your own Festivals in Festivals - Headliners.
Construct your Site
Build the festival site of your dreams with dozens of stages, food stalls, bars, and hundreds of decorations, billboards and lights. Put up fences and lay down paths to guide your guests in the right direction across your venue and include signing to manage any crowding. Use generators and power lines to form a temporary power grid. And most important of all, keep your fans safe.
Setup your Lineup
Every festival needs entertainment! Book bands, DJs and other talent to entertain your visitors, design awesome shows, include special effects, and make it a night your guests will never forget. And add fireworks. Lots and lots of fireworks.
As your career progresses, you make more connections, and get the option to book some very popular artists and acts for your events. Take good care of them, they’ll draw in huge crowds!
Be ready for D-Day
Start load-in early enough to be ready on time, but not too early or you’ll spend too much on rental. Don’t start too late, because you’ll never know what might happen. The event industry always has some “interesting” surprises for you along the way. Stay on schedule!
Staff Management
A festival is only as successful as the staff running it. They are your most vital asset, treat them accordingly. Hire staff in advance, so you know you have the best people on your team. Provide training and coaching to ensure they’ll stay with you for years.
During the event, provide them with good catering and plenty of breaks. As always, safety is important, so make sure everyone is wearing earplugs!
Finance
While hosting festivals is the most fun job in the world, money still has the be made to pay the bills. Not everyone is doing this for fun. You have to be careful not to overspent. As most festivals don’t make any profit in their first 3 events, don’t be to hard on yourself, but if you’re still in the red by year 4, you might want to consider a different profession. Also, not everyone is to be trusted. Watch out to make sure you’re not lured into anything illegal.
First-person / Third person
Of course you’ll want to witness the spectacle first-hand. As your the head of the event, your AAA card grants you access to every nook and cranny of the venue. Walk around among guests in first-person view, take control of the FOH booth where the lights are controlled, or join the talent on stage to wave at the crowd!
Workshop
From the early release on Steam on, you’ll be able to share your festival sites on the Steam workshop to share with your friends! Before the final release, we’ll add options to add your own assets to the game, which you’ll also be able to share on the workshop. How this exactly is going to work is still a secret, sign up as a tester to learn more first hand!

WAR FACTORY
War factory was game i was looking for.
Why? Because it mixes war and production managment at basic level and that was something i was really missing. Positive thing WAS (not anymore) that developers were quickly reacting on discord when i reported any bugs or suggest some ideas that might be implement into game.
Do i recommend this game? NO.
Because game is still buggy in many ways and price is definitly not something that will make you overlook this bugs. IF developer will fix bugs and will add more things (like ideas i have written to them at discord some time ago, you are welcome) then maybe it will be worth. But at this price right now definitly not.

Note this is an update for original review; in which the game was had problems affected the player’s ability to play the game. These problems have been fixed in a previous patch as writing this.
War Factory is still in an early state; but much more playable and enjoyable after the patch. Additionally, devs are very receptive to the player’s feedback in fixing problems with the game.
I do recommend this game, if you want a wargame mixed with production/efficiency focus management game. Keep in mind of the combat you don’t really have any control over the positioning, movement or the tactics of your troops in the game. But for what the game is doing I find this not a problem; as most your time is focused on the factory. However, I am unsure if this something the devs are planning to change in the future.

Black Hole Simulator
The simulation was a bit more complex than I anticipated, of course it would probably have some details but I wasn’t really expecting to see general relativity showing up at the left of the accretion disk this gorgeously. After waiting for a minute or two without feeding the gates of hell, the event horizon got empty blank and the radio noise obviously stopped. All that just to start glowing back again very faintly="" a couple seconds later.
So, the simulation could have a simple on-screen log event (it could be optional), it would even help if someone is using the application to explain how a black hole works. I know people can just go to Youtube but why, if there is a beautiful simulation spinning for you at will? /very

Note: The developer, PanGuoJun was kind enough to supply this review copy to the Sturgeons Law Curator group.
Black Hole Simulator is an early access 3D rendered black hole simulator, just like it says on the box. You’re presented with a reasonable facsimile of a black hole, which you can spin around to get different views. You can increase or decrease the size of the thing, alter the gravity model between Newtonian and Relativistic, and you can have it absorb a star and watch what happens. You can also choose between a number of different backgrounds to see how the gravitational lensing makes things look. At this stage of development, that’s all there is to it. To say this is rudimentary bare bones is a massive (geddit!?) understatement.

Life of Ocean
what kind of work is this

#### Survive
Health, Hunger, Thirst, Manage and monitor these vitals to continue your adventure. Grilled fish, fresh water, and Edible fruit to stay alive.
fresh water will be the most important resources, because fresh water is the medium of payment with NPC in this world.
#### Crafe Tools
Axe, Pickaxe, Spear, Torch, cutlass,firegun and so much more can all be crafted through an interactive crafting menu.
Ships are the main means of transportation in this game. Players can use ships to transport goods and explore travel.
Dynamic Weather System
This game has a basic day and night cycle, rainy weather, sunny weather, it will extinguish the equipment that uses fire to work on rainy day, such as campfire, barbecues, furnaces, etc.
We will add more weather season systems to the game in the future, such as dry season, wet season, etc.
Interesting treasure mining system
Digging treasures will make the player’s adventures easy and interesting. Before you set off, you need to prepare three items, the treasure map you found, a compass and a shovel.
After digging out the treasure, the player will encounter the skeleton or demon spirit . Beat them will get the key to open the treasure chest.
The rewards of treasure chests are random, also players can choose to sell the treasure directly to NPC for stable rewards.
Future update direction
The current version is enough for you to explore more than ten hours, but many details need to be polished. We will add more plants and animal to enrich the game.
And also enrich the vehicle system, add ghost ships, giant sea monsters and other contendable enemies to create exciting sea navigation.
Parking Slide

Anime Play Life: Unlimited
I won’t recommend this game at all, I do admit it has a lot of potential, but in the state its in right now I won’t recommend it. \
-
You don’t get a tutorial on the controls and how they work.
-
The clothing are clipping
-
VERY limited character costumization options.
-
Alot of weird advertising about a “Special version” download which is nowhere to be found at all.
-
No character facial expressions, such as smile, shock, suprised or happy.

I think there is a lot of potential for this game but how it stands right now, it is not very good. The character customization was bare bones and I had to back out of character customization and reenter just to get the menus to go away so i could hit continue. Once in the game, there was no prompt to let you know what button was used for interacting. I hit numerous buttons and clicked multiple times and still could not interact with anything. Until the game advances, worth the money.

Atom
This game is cool. You can make the hydrogen do some wild things visually. Hydrogen is interesting since (I think) all of our other atoms come from hydrogen, don’t quote me on that.
For .99, it’s certainly worth it.
I hope the author makes more content like this.

Not gonna lie, this game is stupid at the moment. That being said, I’m glad I bought it; it was truly fun to mess around with, and although the novelty has worn off, it was nice. I really hope more is added in the near future. I would recommend this game but only because I thought it was fun for the few minutes I played it. A little tour of the controls would be nice, and it would be good if one could change the quality of the graphics and/or simulation for different PCs to properly run it at whatever they want/need. This game could be a lot of fun if it were to take a look at other sandbox-type simulation games, such as universe sandbox. The variety of different controls with explanations detailed enough that you know what you’re doing when you’re doing it. Overall, I’d say the only reason I had fun playing this was my ADHD deciding to hyperfixate on this for the past little bit. Keep working on this game and it could become something greater

Tabletopia
I have a premium subscription to Tabletopia. Based on several games over the past few weeks, I can say that this product is a great sandbox for playing Tabletop games. That said, I’ll point out some caveats.
The community is generally positive though a bit too small to have games running 24/7/365. It’s hard to find a game or players. That said, they do have organized events for teaching and playing games and are expanding the roster of teachers/organizers. Also, after the game reaches final release; more players will be able to be available. Game discussions are generally positive and feedback is welcomed.

This game is nice because its free however it doesn’t even hold a flame to Tabletop Simulator. This game has some games I have yet to see on Tabletop like S.C.A.R.E. Tactics however this games paywall is painful to say the least. This game contains DLC like Tabletop does but this game also has a subscription system. A vast amount of games are limited in some way because of the need for a subscription. An great example would be Sub Terra. It used to be completely free. Now they added expansions and made it DLC. That isn’t really a problem however they also put the base of the game which was free behind a pay wall. Previously me and 3 other friends would play for free now its only free if you do 2 player coop. Issue with that is if you select 2p coop instead of 1-4 players it restricts your survivor options to only 4 cards instead of all 8 options.

Anarchy Arcade
Anarchy Arcade is a Source Engine mod which allows players to create their own virtual arcades. In this 3D desktop players can spawn in any program or game that currently resides on their computer and turn it into an arcade cabinet, TV with console, poster, or many others.
Players can also spawn in images, music, or even YouTube videos that will play when players interact with them.
I use Anarchy Arcade to have a 3D desktop instead of 2D.
It’s a fun software with many possibilities in fact, endless.
– Real player with 2913.1 hrs in game
Anarchy Arcade is amazing. It’s basically like a 3D desktop that allows you to do more than just add shortcuts to your favorite programs, it also allows you to add models from GMod to decorate your maps with so that they can be more lively if you know what I mean.
What I like about this game is that you can play NES and SNES games within the game, once you set up Libretro and add the games as shortcuts. GBA games do not work correctly yet as certain buttons make them reset or freeze, I recommend playing them on New Retro Arcade Neon until Sith Lord can fix these issues.

变量 Variables
Edit: It’s become one of my favorite games on Steam! You will really have to think to beat the higher difficulty levels.
It’s a good idea, realize the execution is currently very crude, and English descriptions are laughable. ; - ) almost returned it, but I’m hoping it will continue evolving.
There are some aspects of Tetris (or more accurately Rampart) in the placement phases.
it would be better to have more tiles, as it’s easy to trap yourself with a layout you can’t expand. Edit: You will learn that you can remove the bases and relocate them! Do this wisely for better chance of survival.

If you’re a native English speaker like myself, you might have an issue locating the button to select language. It’s a small hurdle. Apart from that, once you get an idea of what you’re doing in this game, it becomes extremely interesting. You start your little game being able to flip over three tiles, which you can select one of as your turret of choice. It doesn’t end there, and if you think your level one turret will end up just taking space, it won’t. Once you get enough turrets that fit into a crafting recipe, it’ll wipe those tiny little baby turrets out and replace it with a turret with more hair on its chest than Austin Powers'.
