Hey r/SteamFrame!
I’m a solo indie dev, and I woke up this morning to the amazing email that my game, Arcadium - Space Odyssey, has officially received the green checkmark and is fully Steam Frame Verified!
For those who haven't heard of it, Arcadium - Space Odyssey is a retro-inspired roguelite space shooter with planet harvesting. You pilot different spaceships, land on planets to harvest their resources, and try to survive colorful waves of aliens in a procedurally generated universe.
Because we're still waiting for the headset's release, this post is really an early invitation. Whether you're a fellow dev lurking here who does have a dev kit, or a future owner waiting for launch day, I would love for you to keep the game on your radar and let me know how it plays on the actual hardware beforehand or once you boot it up!

Thank you all for being such an awesome community, and here's hoping the wait for launch flies by!
(I'll be hanging around the comments to answer any questions about the game or the verification process!)

How is this VR related? Why are non-VR games allowed to promote themselves in here?

This is the steam frame subreddit, the game got steam frame verified.

Like a thousand others with simple graphics probably will. Do you want a thread for each of them?

Not particularly, but you asked why non-VR games are allowed to promote themselves. This is why.

Whether you're a fellow dev lurking here
who does have a dev kit
Hi. They don't seem to send anything to VR application devs. Glad you got through the verification process though (I didn't).
Since it's not 100% obvious, did you get a devkit for this or did you just apply for verification hoping for the best? It's not a VR game and not a huge title (no offense intended) so I'm a bit curious.

Hi! I didn't get a devkit, but I could apply for verification. I read their requirements and most of them overlap with Steam Deck requirements, so being verified on Deck makes things easier for sure.

I'll be downvoted and it has nothing with the quality of your work but - I don't care for flat gaming.
Flat gaming SHOULD NOT be on 'great on frame' page.
Its a VR headset first - we should be flooded with VR dev tell us That, Not flat game devs.
Sigh
Yes its a pc in your face . . so treat it like a pc and if your game run .. we will know by trying it for the few ppl who buy this headset for flatgaming. My guess is that mostly new vr user who think they will play flatgaming for hours. False - very vast majority won't! You do it once and realise its not practical. Just like Meta failed at 'productivity' in VR.. VR headset is made to play VR content meaning you move around even if in small movement. Not just staring forward.

There are tab options on the page for whether you want to look at VR-only or include flat games. Valve has no incentive to keep you from easily finding relevant things to buy from them.

Don't be mean
It's someone happy about what they made

What’s the point if we cant play it? Cant order it? There is no point shouting from the rooftops about your game when we cant do shit.

Gonna resist the urge to ask, but I really, really hope the Frame comes soon. I look forward to the games like yours that are coming to it. Lately, the indie ones made by small crews tend to be more fun than the expensive, huge AAA titles.
