Holy hell, y'all - nextfest is *huge*. Seems wise to speak up elsewhere, too.

Want to play our demo - which includes a pretty meaty chunk of our historical / occult horror story + deckbuilder gameplay w/ a twist? It's here. If you're into it, please review!🫀

Our soft opening was pure magic — laughter, books, and a line that wrapped around the block!

To everyone who showed up (and showed out), thank you for bringing The Secret Lantern to life.

Now the adventure truly begins. We’re open, ready, and waiting for you! 🥰🥰🥰

When I was first learning Unreal 3 I tried this out with a particle system for distant cars on an overpass. A set of different grey car sprites that could be selected from and colored by the particle system. Normal and spec mapped so they interacted with the street lights they passed under.

Probably the correct answer. I think it brought digitized actors to fighting games before MK, but was pretty awful. I remember being wowed by it in the arcade, but always passing it by to play TMNT.

Hello, have you remembered to buy a copy of Mind Diver today?

Only if you buy one copy every day for 100 days will you unlock the true ending (unlocking the gatling gun)

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

ICE attempted

It needed to be scored.

Brigand: Oaxaca is one of the coolest, jankiest imsim PC RPGs I've ever played and I never see anyone talking about it. It's been getting regular updates for 8 years, and the dev is loudly pro-trans and anti-ICE.

If you like STALKER, Morrowind, Deus Ex, New Vegas, this one's a big rec from me.

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.

But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.

This is Ambrosia Sky.
