Maybe the most brilliant flight game to hit the market in 2024.
Bravo to Hijong Park.
If you like flight games, and especially if you like VR, grab the demo and give it a ride.

My flight sim will be released in late October.

All the preparations are done, now I'll start making AH-1S cobra helicopter for the sequel.

Henrik makes awesome, tactile games.

If you enjoyed OlliOlli, check out POGOPPL.

If you enjoy physics/feel-forward games that don't get in your way, give him a follow and check out his steam catalog.

HELLO to all my new followers! I'm a Finnish #gamedev, recently released my third and biggest game yet: POGOPPL. A pogo platformer. Total flop. Nevertheless I am forging on working on my next project, a cowboy game! I'll share more about it soon.

Here's a peek at some of my earlier games.

Agreed. One of the best MSFS cockpits to ride in. Amazing views front to back, great for situational awareness.

“The windows and view out of this thing are stellar!”
“This thing is ALIVE! I’ve never experienced a plane so visceral in flight sim!”

I know I have to play this game. I'm still trying to figure out what device I should play it on. Almost all of my gaming these days is on the PS Portal. Once a year I fly on an airplane and use the steam deck for a few hours.

adviser amid push to control
student newspaper's content

The director of student media at Indiana University was fired amidst a dispute between university leadership and editors at the Indiana Daily Student over what content gets printed in the student newspaper.

As director of student media, Jim Rodenbush did not directly oversee or have any say over the content published in the IDS, per a charter between the IDS and the university. But he told IndyStar his firing follows a series of meetings with IU Media School leadership in which it grew increasingly apparent they were expecting him to officially prohibit students from publishing news.

One of those brilliant games that constantly has you asking "why aren't there more of these?" (because it's very hard).

Hey, it’s back! A formative stealth game, missing from storefronts for too long. And a great Steam Deck game. I’ve made a custom controller configuration for it since it has no controller support out of the box, can be found under community layouts.
