What are the Steam Awards?
The Steam Awards is an annual event where players nominate and vote for their favorite games in various categories, such as "Labor of Love" or "Best Game You Suck At".
Winners are chosen entirely by the community. Nominations take place during the autumn sale and voting during the winter sale.
Why nominate Rusty's Retirement?
I've submitted Rusty's Retirement for the Most Innovative Gameplay Award for its design of sitting at the bottom of your screen while you do other things.
Since the game's inception, people really resonate with the idea, and it makes me happy to see the game currently sitting on a 96% overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam.
It's a game I am proud to have made, and I feel like it would be cool to get a nomination in the innovation category, mainly for allowing players to multitask while playing.
In the last few months, I've also even seen a bunch of new games pop up following a similar design. To me, this is the highest form of appraisal, and to have essentially created a new genre is mind-blowing.
Here are a few worth checking out: My Little Life, Whimside, and Desktop Cat Cafe.
Please nominate Rusty's Retirement in the Steam Awards! It would mean the world to me ːorange_heartː
In case you missed it:
I've been working on a new Winter update that will include a new snowy map, new crops, and a brand-new character. The plan is to release it at the middle of December so more info soon!
Thank you for everything, and please spare a nomination for Rusty! ːorange_heartː
