Mostly I'm just looking at the Greenlight number required to get to the top 100, the current votes for Neofeud (1/10th of the way to top 100), and the announcement by Valve that Greenlight will be replaced by Steam Direct in Spring 2017.

But the greenlight rank is no indicator if your game is getting greenlit or not. That's misleading, because Greenlight is not really a competition between games. It's about how well each game is received, and judging from my own experience with Kickstarter, the yes/no ratio of your votes is much more important than the rank. That and having some constant traffic I guess, but the rank doesn't say much.

Thank you!

Thank you, everyone!
You one, every thank!
One thank, every you!

...and belated happy birthday to kconan!

Thanks!
It's great to get such a positive response for a tune that I've posted one year ago.

Thanks everybody!

Happy Birthday, Problem!  I'd sing for you, but we both know what that sounds like....

The quality won't change at all and the image will still be the same. However the printed result will be smaller, because a higher dpi setting means a higher print resolution. It's simple maths: convert an image from 100 to 200 dpi and it will appear at half the size when printed, though the quality and size in pixels is not touched at all. So you'll have to make sure that the printed images are still big enough after the conversion. If they aren't they'll have to be rescanned.
The size in dpi or pixels are relative values. What you really want to know is if the image resolution is high enough to be printed with 300 dpi at a given size.

That's an interesting theme, but imho it's too limited for a recurring competition, it would wear off quickly. Though it would make for great MAGS theme.

I think the game is german.

Could it be one of these games?

Well, almost any engine (including AGS) can be used to code a management game, but it will require much more coding than what you've done in AGS so far. I don't know of any engine that specializes in this kind of game. For a management game, the code is more important than the actual engine. You can code a complex management simulation without using a real engine, just by using text and numbers.

So if you want to create something like this, I suggest that you learn a programming or scripting language from scratch. That's not as difficult as it sounds, buy a book or work through an online tutorial. Then code a very simple text-only management simulation to get an idea how to organize your code, data, etc. When you feel more comfortable with coding, you can better decide which game engine is suitable for what you want to achieve.

I think Khris is right. Your idea could be a nice theme for a single MAGS competition, but for a seasonal event it will wear off too quickly.

@Ghost: I haven't given them any titles yet. If you like, you can give it a title according to its use in your project.

@miguel: Thank you! I don't want to pillory anybody, so I won't make the name public.

I composed some music for a MAGS game last month, but the author obviously lost interest in his game. I asked him twice if he was still working on it, but he didn't even bother to answer.
So now I have two tracks that I don't have any use for, and I might as well contribute them to this thread. They are seamlessly loopable, and if somebody wants to use them in a game, feel free to do so. Both are quite cheerful, but different in style:

Your're all wrong. 

But abstauber is close enough. It's the sequel, "AGON: The Lost Sword of Toledo"
It's your turn!

Nope.

Ah, that's why I love these forums. Just post something with a ridiculously high resolution (800x600), and everyone's at a loss. Muhahahaha!

And here's the next one:

That's definitely a C64 game. Is it "Newcomer"?

Has it? Damn, I hope at least it's not the same screenshot

Your turn!

This guy is obviously in trouble...

Moonstone?
