If they do, I know a few people who'd better put in an application so they don't go completely broke. No one on this thread, of course. ;-)

I'm going to assume you will neither confirm nor deny it (and rightfully so), but I'm going to read between the lines of that and speculate that June 29th will be the day you hint at, and that it will be an all-bundles final encore day that also includes a repeat of the mega-flash deals as on the 1st day of the sale and June 18th, with 30 simultaneous flash items at once, and with the addition of some freebies thrown into the flash promo. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Banished, Omerta and the other games JMich predicted for the flash promos that haven't showed up yet will be some of the freebies offered, and that GOG will have the special game trivia contest thingie on the same day.

<grin>

Either way, I'm sure whatever you guys have planned will be a bit of fun though, whether it is all on one day or spread across several. Hopefully one of the surprises is the announcement of the pending release of LucasArts Star Wars games to the GOGalogue! ;oP

I'm picturing you now muttering to yourself things that Shultz from Hogan's Heroes might say... heheehe

This is definitely my favourite GOG promo so far though personally, good job guys!

No I have seen it during the very first couple of days of the sale or at least thats what I think I have seen. But I will admit during the first 2 days or so I tried to stay awake as long as possible so it might have been just some hallucination caused by the olny very few hours of sleep I got.

I REALLY wish they'd announce signing a deal with one of the big wishlisted companies. I don't even care which, I'd just love to see you GOG finally cracking them!

Here's a spreadsheet with all of games going on flash sales in alphabetical order and how many times each has been on sale. I was pretty sure it was complete, but I wasn't around the very first day of the sale so I can't personally speak to that.

And here's an automatically generated list of all flash sales starting from day 1 (courtesy of Pidgeot's script). We can be reasonably sure it's complete. No Syberia 1 there, sorry.

Definitely! I really really really really really hope that the GOG Galaxy platform's background services and APIs appeal to publishers enough to pique their interest in coming here or even testing the waters more. Just based on what we've been told for sure, as well as hinted at, there are many things that would be appealing to publishers in the service. But it's like waiting 9 months for the next season of Battlestar Galactica or Game of Thrones to start back up after a huge nail biting cliffhanger season finale... ;oP

What would be cool, is if the GOG Galaxy user interface was a virtual reality 3D interface built inside a Starship or oh I dunno, an X-Wing or a Tie Fighter or something like that, with special Oculus Rift features. :)

The number of items rotating in flashdeals must be getting less and less because Memoraia has appeared as "coming soon" as soon as it disappeared from the deal page. So maybe we are getting close to a sparkling new offer?

Yes I noticed that as well, but not only memoria, Strike Suit zero, and Blaz Blue are frequent repeaters as well.

I do hope that I have not missed the last of beyond good and evil.

It's complete. Taken from IAmSinistar's lists with generous abuse of Pidgeot's script/ I do update it by hand, but no one has pointed out any mistakes yet.

Defender's Quest with only 3 appearances is the lonely one.
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri™ has a stellar 8 appearances (the most)

Why stop there, let's make it the bridge of the entreprise, or Mazinger's Pilder, or an EVA's entry plug, or anything really, let's make it customizable and then I can have my own Star Destroyer or Imperium Battle Barge and everytime I load a game I shoot a pesky planet out of space.

Not really, on the first day Octodad showed up twice at the same time. We don't know the algorithm they're using for randomness but if I were to hazard a guess based on observation it appears that they may have taken the list of all games, randomized it then they go through it and when it is passed through, they repeat that process a second time, third time, etc. re-randomizing the all-games list. If they do this, then where the boundaries exist near the end of one pass through the sale to the start of the second pass through the sale there will be a 15 game window between the two randomly generated lists where the same game may appear as one of the last 15 games from random-list-N, and also as one of the first 15 games from random-list-N+1. The anomaly would exist in this case due to the 15-game window where two runs of random games would be showing games from each individual randomly generated list simultaneously.

In order to prevent that algorithmically, the code generating the new random game list (N) would have to examine prior game list (N-1) and if any of the randomly picked titles for the new list match one of the last 15 from the N-1 list, ignore it and regenerate a new random entry. Even if they did that however, you could end up with one game going off the sale and rotating back onto the sale after 1/2/3 sale bumps.

The only way to really space out game repeats without having them have random chance of showing up close together is to generate the randomized list of games once, then just reuse that list over and over. That way every game would reappear in the sale exactly the same amount of time inbetween repeats, but then after one pass through the sale the remaining passes would be totally predictable and no longer random. It is the inherent randomness of the sale itself that makes it mathematically possible for a single game to show up twice in succession in that 15 game window in between two consecutive passes through the random loop.

This is all purely my own speculation of how their random game lists might be generated of course based on observation of what we've seen so far. I'd have to look a bit more closely to confirm it with the public list of the order games have appeared in the flash sale so far but I think I'm probably close. One flaw in my assumptions of their algorithm however is that in one pass through the game list, each game would appear once and no game would go missing from a cycle, but we have observed some games show up as few as 3 times and some others as many as 6 or 7. It's possible that some games have showed up in the sale and met pre-negotiated quotas and hit their limits and were removed from the rotation. Another possibility is that the randomness isnt purely random but is weighted based on negotiated limits on unit sales for individual games, or even day to day limits on appearances.

A bit of fun to speculate on and to analyze the data to try to estimate how the algorithm works though. :)
Oh definitely, themable/moddable starship interfaces are a must Lord Vader! :)

With an option to choke someone every time a game crashes.

Damn it so I guess it really was just my imagination :(. Oh well maybe it still will come if not well I guess I just have to shell out the 3 $ more for it.
