While we're on the topic of magical girls, @sonorode.com also has their demo up during Steam Next Fest and I absolutely adore Warding Witches, which is a super good bullet hell shmup that I recently already wrote about. Go check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/4690510/...

Out of all things, my demo gets to be this person's first review 🥹 I love making games so much I will work hard to make a shmup worthy of such players!

I've had the unique pleasure of testing this pretty early locally (also, the two peeps from Nozomu are super sweet). Even that early, it already oozed with charme and atmosphere, definitely a must-try demo! #burnwithme #steamnextfest

Nozomu@nozomugames.com · 2mo ago

Burn With Me is part of Steam Next Fest! 🔥 If you're checking out game demos - maybe you have time for a narrative deckbuilder about animal university, occultic mysteries and deepest desires? store.steampowered.com/app/2954010/...

I've done tons of patching since the demo came out, even balancing to make the steam leaderboards a proper competition. One person only had a steam deck to play Steam games on, which the demo didn't support (funky resolution in handheld), so here we are. EVERYBODY gets to play!! ✨🧹

I visited #DoKomi2026 for the first time this year and discovered a great gem of an indie game (in the creative games area in Hall 9) called #WardingWitches by @sonorode.com, which is an upcoming bullet hell shmup that took up more of my time than I'd like to admit. indiecator.org/2026/05/30/w...

POLARIS 2025 wrapped up a while ago and I'm only now getting the edit out.

Moon Child began life as an Amiga AGA title before shifting to PC, where it finally saw release in 1997. A fascinating glimpse into a project caught between two eras. More here: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/04/moon...

Cool thing about Conventions is that you meet all kinds of people. A health expert attested that bullet hell, especially #wardingwitches, is healthy!

Highscores are up! Despite the exhibition demo being longer, still a huge amount of players, love it :) Thank you all for playing, and feel free to tag if you see yourself or somebody you know! ✨🧹 #wardingwitches #ggbavaria

GG Bavaria is done and I'm still processing it. What I keep coming back to is the people who genuinely stopped, played, had opinions about which witch is the best. Someone put the Talia merch card in their phone case on the spot. That's the part that matters! Thank you to everyone who came by 🫶✨🧹
