Seriously deserved. Freshest roguelike I've played in a while.

Been drawing custom Wanders again for each video I release and having a lot of fun with the designs. Nuke Pong, Druid, and Mushroomboi are definitely my favorites from this batch.

Nice part is almost all of them will only take a few hours to adapt into PNGTuber models.

Oh yeah. Ball x Pit is dangerously compelling.

I haven’t been able to play at all today and I’m a bit glum about it. I’ve been launching it periodically for a quick harvest here and there, but that only goes so far.

To be slightly fair to M:R: at no point does Louis ever really engage in the election. Dude openly mocks it constantly, especially towards the end, and is really only interested in getting the magic scepter/doomsday key. It’s not a great subversion of expectations, but at least it’s consistent.

Technically both want to end racism. MC just wants to do it by continuing the monarchy and being a good boy with a diverse group of friends.

Louis is actually also an Elda and thinks racism will end if people have to endlessly fight for survival against hordes of human-monsters.

Its been a bit since I beat it, but IIRC you get tempt turned into a human, crash in the rankings, quest back into the top 10 then everyone but you and the Louis drops out. At which point he enacts a “might makes right doomsday plan” and the whole election plotline is just kinda tossed aside.

Got a Demo in the Next Fest? Share it below! I’ve got my week cleared out and would love to find some new gems to showcase/look forward to!

If you’re launching soon after the Next Fest, send me an email so I can check out that version!

Block me if you use generative AI though. I won’t cover it.

Honestly? Frog Wizard probably would do a better job.

Probably would just skip the drawn out imprisonment arc and just hand the girl an inflatable Unicorn Suit instead.

I tried out UNYIELDER a few days ago and got my face absolutely handed to me. Its a roguelite boss rush FPS where you only get ammo if you pull off a devastating parry- which I can imagine is catnip for the hardcore crowd who can to master it.

I on the other hand, am weak.

Folks who create videos about games on the internet: I have questions for you if you'd be so kind. I'm trying to determine the relationship between traditional media and those who create videos about games and have never worked for the games press. Sharing is appreciated!

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.

20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could

now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest
