It's been a bustling year for the site, and you can brush up on it with this round-up while the crew hibernates for the winter.

Don't we love it when you work on something for weeks and find it neat, yet all of a sudden you think it's awful. So you start to change the core of it but now everything you build around it crumbles, so you kinda start it all over and now you wonder if the change is actually better or not (╯°□°）╯

Truly beautiful!
One of my favourite experiences this year was Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog. Beautifully caught the aesthetics and vibes of old PC-98 games. The writing and characters were so endearing, that it left me hoping for more in the future.

I've been singing the praises of Captain Wayne this week (just fun start to finish, short but sweet) but one thing that it deserves special credit for is an absolute banger of a soundtrack.
It sounds like an arcade game. 100% propulsive guitar n' synth jams that loop seamlessly. Raw action energy.

We finally got Skin Deep this year and it is *exceptionally* funny. Loved the slapstick gameplay mechanics encouraging chaotic slapfights with enemies, which dovetails nicely with the writing, which kinda sits at the intersection of Venture Bros, Futurama and Jazzpunk.
