One of the most important thing when getting a deal close to being signed : anticipate when and where to celebrate & rejoice all together.
Not joking : the quality of trust & relation between Dev & Pub will show in the end on the game somehow, and then to players :)

Played Hold The Mine démo a few months ago and it was already really really fun.
Plus it has dwarves. Several.
Plus the devs behind are great.
Wishlisting the game would then be the smart move as it releases in 2 week !

⛏️14 days before Hold the Mine's launch!⛏️
This is one of the first pics of the mine's early stage, and how our lovely mine looks now!
I really hope you'll enjoy digging in there! ✨

Almost finished The Bird That Drinks Tears by Lee Young Doo, finally translated in French, and what a blast!
The « Korean Tolkien » description is definitely not overrated, and I just can’t wait to see the videogame adaptation by Krafton Montreal.

Mio: Memories in Orbit is a Metroidvania for people who come to the genre for the maze above all else. A game that treats its map like a body, thinking about how all the corridors and hidden pathways feed into a central nervous system. My first review of the year! www.polygon.com/mio-memories...
