Aeronaut

Aeronaut is not a game. Games contain meaningful gamelike interaction and game loops, which are absent in this software. Instead of being a game, Aeronaut is a software application that that shows a music video from Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins). That's right, Viacom probably hit themselves on the head and decided Steam is "Youtube for VR Music videos" and has nothing to do with games. Viacom is wrong. For those unfamiliar with what actually makes something a game, a "game loop" describes the interaction and feedback a gamer has when playing a game. Tetris, for example, has a game loop where a random block appears, the gamer interacts with the block to position it, and then the game decides if that finishes a row or not, increases the players score if any rows were completed, then gives the gamer another block to position. Counter-Strike has a game loop where a player seeks another player, tests their skill against that player by shooting them or being shot, the computer rewards the player if they win, and then if the player survives, they repeat that loop. There's no loop here, no true interactive feedback. It simply is not a game, it cannot be "played". This has misleadingly been launched in the "Games" section of Steam instead of the "Software" section. This is a common mistake for developers who are new to Steam, or don't understand the difference between games and software which isn't a game. It seems this software published incorrectly as a game is simply lack of experience/knowledge of the correct process. Here's a link for the process to publish non-game software on Steam: [url=https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithPublishing?issueid=925]Steam Developer Help With Software Publishing[/url] It's unfortunate this process was not known about/followed, resulting in a software application being published in the wrong place. Publishing things which aren't games on Steam in the Games section as games is misleading to gamers and somewhat harmful, because it pollutes the Steam marketplace and takes away visibility and market exposure for genuine game developers who do the right thing and make games for gamers. There are no gameplay loops in this software, no "gameplay", no meaningful game like interaction. It's a software application and as such has no merits as a video game for gamers. Because of this, I cannot recommend this non-game software as a game to gamers. Steam is not here to compete with Youtube.

Super dope VR music video. Not my type of music, but it was so clearly well done I don't even really care. Has interactivity so you're not just doing nothing the whole time, and the whole space is super animated and colorful. 89/100

[h1] I Don't call it: What a Review for Nothing[/h1] Yes I usually give stupid projects like this a thumbs down, but the issue with this is that, Steam just needs a new service for these kind of things. [u][b]What do you get with this?[/b][/u] You get a song for free, from the Smashing Pumpkins lead singer, which is great, normally songs, even singles are what like 2 bucks, and maybe 5 for a music video? So for real you get a full ass song for free. But it isn't just that. [u][b]What is the product itself?[/b][/u] An over the top art project, an experimental thing I WANT MORE OF. Can you imagine what someone like Joji could do with this kind of ♥♥♥♥, what kind of hidden Easter eggs could be put in? A music video that you can walk around in, and experience in multiple different ways? That's crazy. I recommend the download, also save the song dummy, it's free.

Видеоклип в VR c небольшими элементами интерактивности. Если любите медляки - можно глянуть, благо бесплатно.

I had no idea what this was and I expected a game. It was actually pretty cool for a music video, knowing now what it was. I will have to go back and try it again, since it is a music video and there is a cool amount to take in
