Being a games critic is fun, sure. Sometimes, you get to connect with game developers, give and receive feedback, and if all goes well, spark a conversation. But others, your negative opinion may be taken too seriously, inciting backlash. I want to talk about it.

Encouraging to see the game industry hardship fund reach its goal and give laid-off devs a much-needed respite.
Alright, SUPER late with this announcement! But, better late than never!! I'm pleased to announce that we're going to be doing a Comeback Anniversary Charity Stream in the form of an ✨️AWARDS SHOW✨️ for all the games we've played on the Twitch and YouTube channels over the past year!
why did every game release today i'm drowning in cute games i wanna playyyyy
I concur! I remember mulling over how you'd do a cozy soulslike (as one who gets TERRIFIED of them myself 😬), so am I glad Andres found this! While this still has some edge, I found myself SUCKED IN! Bravo to the dev team on this one!!
AndresPlays@andresplays.bsky.social · 2w agoI highly recommend the Mouseward demo. An original soulslike with Nintendo 64-style graphics, its cute rodents, intuitive level design, and adept combat systems had me thrilled the whole time.
Just submitted my first VO audition in YEARS! 😶 Fingers crossed, and releasing it with love! 🤞🫰
Every action in The Mermaid Mask is handled with painstaking detail. Each item you ask the suspects about will have a witty answer to. Not a single line is wasted. It's a joy to both witness the mystery and artistry in motion.
Permission to come aboard, Captain!! 🫡 We officially meet our esteemed employer and new head of the Mortuga Submarine! youtu.be/WyQk7AjeGI8

In this truly UNIQUE 2.5D RPG, your family's hotel is overrun with evil spectres, and it's up to you and your gang to quell the ghostly threat! I was VERY impressed with the art direction of this game and its fascinating turn-based battle mechanics! @azulondev.bsky.social youtu.be/68Dd07Xpadc

Here is my review of Teeto! A very funny platformer I recommend playing in co-op, as it leaves to be desired otherwise.
Teeto Review – A Funny Platformer That Falls Flat
Teeto is a chipper platformer geared for a younger audience, but even then it falters with its imprecise controls. At least the premise is full of humor.

In "Reshine" by @quiteokgames.bsky.social , you clean and refurbish vintage items. That's it. No shopkeeping, no story, just the pure joy of bringing an object back to life with soothing tools 😌 This playtest felt like an absolute brain massage for my neurospicy mind! youtu.be/bfgFieVtfuo

I think its high time I start learning DaVinci Resolve. I LOVE Lightworks and have become DEPENDENT on their hotkeys. But, I want to export QUALITY videos, and a 720p max on their free version just doesn't cut it 😭 Anyone have any tips on making the transition?
After moving around some things on our YouTube schedule, Part 2 of "The Mermaid Mask" will now be releasing this FRIDAY! 👀 Part 3's being exported as we speak, and Part 4 is recorded and in the tank! I'm SO enjoying this series!
The little routine that my partner and I have gotten into lately where we hang out together in our Creative Room while I edit and she plays Coral Island is just.. 🥹 I love it!
Woah, The Mermaid Mask made it to Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam (needs >500 reviews) in under three days! Thank you to everyone who's left such kind, detailed messages, it's been so life-affirming for us both!
The Mermaid Mask is out now on Steam, PS5, Switch 1 and Switch 2 - and it's been getting some really excellent reviews...
In "The Mermaid Mask" by SFB Games, Detective Grimoire and Sally are BACK in a brand new case of murder, intrigue, and a deep-sea whodunnit! This full-animated, fully VOICE-ACTED cast of colorful characters makes you want the killer to be *any* OR *none* of them at all 😩 youtu.be/Ruc8qE5zOxw

Could someone who knows more than me provide some insight? Currently, this is basically how I'm utilizing my platforms (I just whipped this up in Canva, so bear with it), and I want to make sure I'm going about things in an effective way! If not, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
