Great job keeping this up even after Valve breaks the skin almost every update!

One day it would be great to see a tenfoot skin, that is of course if Valve supports skinning it.

Thanks! It's a lot of work but has been a labor of love.

That would definitely be an interesting project. We'd be looking at a full Metro remake if they supported it.

Awesome update :)

Thanks for your time.

Jumping from 2.5.5 -> 2.7.1. I wish I still had time to play games >.<

Thanks, and you're welcome! That's a decent jump. Hopefully you like the new changes!

Get it from here McKay: http://metroforsteam.com/

I've updated again. Can't wait to see the download widget >.<

DAMN HE SO FAST! D:

Haha, I just happened to visit Neowin and saw the thread in the Mini Spy. I was shocked, to be honest, as the thread hasn't been all that lively lately. :(

The download widget is being well received. I'll be releasing it soon!

There's something really depressing about a skin that makes it so convincingly metro while at the same time touch scrolling is utterly impossible. :<

Scrollbars aren't very fun to work with in Steam. :/ They're no smaller than the defaults though, so if those work fine these should too (and vice versa).

I tried that the download button takes you to DeviantArt.

Thanks BoneyardBrew!

No problem!

You'd think, but scroll bars are pretty narrow (there's no design reason for them to be wide when swipe-to-scroll becomes a fundamental part of the UX), and miss them by one pixel and you've just selected a bunch of text. :|

True. I heard Big Picture Mode has iffy support for scrolling as well. Maybe Valve will focus more on improving their services with touch devices in the future.

Thank you, that means a lot. :)

First skin I've ever bothered to put onto Steam. I think I'll keep it :)

Nice work. (Y)

Enjoy!

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
