A curious blend of roguelite, deckbuilder, dungeon crawler and bullet heaven that more or less works. It's still in Early Access though so there's more yet to come

Anybody ever rewatch TV shows and then realise you're watching supporting characters before they were famous? Anyway just watched Death in Paradise S11 E3 and spotted Ben Starr. Didn't realise he was in the show.
Is it just me or does this song sound a lot like something Cut Copy would make? Regardless, it's a groovy track. Love the retro vibe.

A decent digital adaptation of a board game, if you're okay with single player. And if you can find it.

One of my favourite game creators, Warren Spector, is retiring. Would love if he had the opportunity to make more games but hope he enjoys his retirement all the same, he's earned it.

Happy birthday 🍰 MS-DOS! Born 12 August 1981. To celebrate, why not find one of those rare MS-DOS arcade machines? The aim of the game, just like the real thing, was to free up enough Conventional memory for your Soundblaster AND your CD drive. It's a hoot! 😆 #TillysCabinetOfCuriosities #DosGaming
Interesting post. Looks like the median lifetime earnings on Steam is about $3,000 USD using number of reviews as a means of estimation

This is a snapshot of estimated earnings for games on Steam (using the Boxleiter Method), alongside different ways to slice the data. How concentrated are sales/reviews?

After watching the entertaining Tetris movie on Apple TV, I wanted to learn more about the actual story of Tetris. Fortunately, I had Tetris Forever sitting in my backlog and gave it a whirl. Pretty neat to see a playable recreation of the original Elektronika 60 version
It's Theme Hospital 2.0! Very silly. Very addictive. Very British.

It's like Far Cry but with magic. It also attempts to stay as authentic to the source material as possible while simultaneously trying to craft their own new story.

Harrison Ford, the actor behind loveable scoundrels Han Solo and Indiana Jones, started his career as an on-set carpenter. That makes him a roguelike deckbuilder.

I sometimes wonder if my love for John Broomhall's Transport Tycoon soundtrack has anything to do with a similar love for the jazz-funk style of Level 42. I mean, this track, Dream Crazy, could almost work as the main theme to a Transport Tycoon title on its own. It's even got the opening sax!
