"Lifelike" developed by kunabi brother AND the soundtrack, crafted by @loscil.ca, is absolutely stunning. Don't sleep on this game and album (rather, sleep TO it) - www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB65...

Here’s what they had to say↩️

Yes! Was just talking to someone earlier today about how ChinaJoy, TGS, and Gstar are superior simply because of the wide availability of good affordable foot massages

Sadly no truly good list of the chaos yet.

Epic tried, but lists mostly online showcases. Many of are having in-person events (mostly invite-only 😐): store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/s...

SGF is also hosting an industry day Monday but think it’s sold out: www.thegamebusiness.com/p/the-game-b...

If only Los Angeles had a large convention center, say in DTLA, where all of the 212 diff showcases, publishers, developers and events could centrally locate and show their games. Not sure what it could be called but someone could surely come up with something short and sweet.
