oh, I was confused when people said Kain was in this game after I'd already seen the trailer. Now I understand.
This is a game I will never play.

Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?!, like all our projects, has it's own snug section within our internal Discord. While browsing this morning I found this.

I'm starting to think this game dev shit isn't easy at all!

My grandparents had a shop in the flea market, and some weekends my parents dropped me off with them. There was a game shop a couple stalls down that played this attract screen, and I similarly watched it on repeat while looking at all the boxes. Eventually bought my NES and Bionic Commando there.

The curtains have to be some color right? Why stress about it?

I didn't realize it until I put the thumbnail together and saw the varied art styles, but this week's lineup of games are all just completely different from one another. Good stuff.

Easy Allies @easyallies.bsky.social · 3d

Fall games are here, and we have a varied lineup this week, including Absolum, Megabonk, Dying Light: The Beast, Dreams of Another, Carimara, and more! Plus, thoughts on TRON: Ares and the August Sales Report.

Megabonk is definitely gonna be a good cooldown game for when I just need to relax and play something that's not for work. Back in the saddle for the next big game today, but it was nice to chill with some bonking last night rather than try to start on the next project at 11pm.

My favorite bit is when the robot assumes it's answered your question (hasn't come close) and then just hangs up on you, despite the fact that you're yelling "representative" into the void.

Got this up a little later than I wanted, but still, I really enjoy giving you an idea what the show floor is like. A little tricky to shoot between appointments and keep it organized, but something I'll be thinking about more for future shows.

Easy Allies @easyallies.bsky.social · 5d

One last little TGS bonus, exclusive for our patrons. A quick little TGS tour from Bloodworth as he walked around the show floor. Head to our Patreon to give it a look.
