Ale Abbey

Do you like tycoon games with specific themes and mechanics that support them? How about brewing various types of beer? If yes, then Ale Abbey is a match made in Heaven (pun intended)!

Cyber Knights: Flashpoint NOW FULLY LAUNCHED! 🎉🎉🎉 @tresebrothers.bsky.social · 22d

⚠️ #IndieDev PSA: Key scammers are now impersonating major gaming press outlets to steal Steam keys.

ALWAYS check & verify the email address of ANY key request! Also beware of fake channels using stolen content on Twitch or YouTube, or Steam Curators requesting keys by email.

1/4🧵👇

An email with legitimate-looking GamesRadar branding & design template formatting from someone claiming to be the "Content Partnerships Manager" at GamesRadar, requesting Steam keys so they play and cover the game on their YouTube channel and site. Links to the legitimate GamesRadar website and social channels in the signature. However, the email address the outreach is from is "gamesradar.plus.contact@gmail.com" -- legitimate business outreach from a site like GamesRadar would never come a gmail address instead of their own domain.

Today started my vacation from work (finally!), so I'll be off the blog as well, to disconnect and recharge! As such, there will be no new posts for the next couple weeks. See you in September!

Dungeons of Dreadrock 2 – The Dead King’s Secret

The original Dungeons of Dreadrock was an instant favourite of mine. And I’m ecstatic to say that the sequel is even bigger and better than its predecessor!

In this week's #Game_Pick we have a charming #indiegame based on a classic slavic folk-tale, developed by Baba Yaga Games. Take a look!

Do you like games that are soaked in folklore and present themselves like fairy tales of old? If yes, then you shouldn’t miss Vasilisa and Baba Yaga!

It's really great at what it does and also contains an awesome Encyclopedia where you can read more about each myth / monster / depiction based on several folklore sources!
