Let’s try to go until 2PM. I still gotta work, but I wanna make sure I get every one of these great #IndieGames from #SteamNextFest ready by Saturday, so I can hopefully compile everything by Monday. Gotta stay relevant, can’t be dropping a compilation weeks later when nobody cares :p

No time to waste! Time to finally dig into more #SNF #Reviews to add to the current list. Even though I totally said I would keep it manageable.

AS MANY AS I CAN!

This is gonna mess me up schedule wise, lol

Oh right, I've been busy.

The winner of #Absolum (first of two) #Giveaway was NonKurow. Now he too can play PEAK! Killing myself over here to get the #SteamNextFest list sorted for the next few days, thankfully I have SAT, SUN and Monday free, so we should still be on schedule!

It’s the start of #SteamNextFest! Before diving in, I’ll be re-reading, voicing, and compiling my reviews for #Absolum, #MegaBonk, & #MyCardIsBetterThanYourCard.

Also, giving away a copy of Absolum, because god damn, it's absolute #Indiegame cinema!

Not many people truly appreciate #Biking culture. It’s healthy, immersive, and rare in #IndieGames or general games, but I have to mention that #WheelWorld nailed it.

A great soundtrack and amazing atmosphere, I just wish the bugs didn't make it in.

No work, full day. Let's finish up the #SteamNextFest list. Write up some rough drafts, teach Panini how to remember the games and what to say about them.

Later on we'll tackle #Absolum again, really fun, will have copies to #Giveaway when we get them!

#Katanaut trailers make it look to be a fast paced #IndieGame action rogue like full of flair and gore, but in reality, it still needs a lot of polish for a solo project. Partnering with #Acclaim, a previously defunct publisher, just feels like a bad move?

Call me crazy, but hopefully I'm wrong.

The upside of being consistent with upload and game #Reviews:

Clean, Consistent, Organization.

The downside: It's impossible to break out of that organized format.

So unless a game releases on Friday-Sat, for me it's released a week or months later. Sorry #IndieDevs!

Voltguardian snagged today’s #Twitch #Giveaway, but he didn’t manage to yoink the games everyone wanted!

He ended up with #WWE2K25, sitting right between #SpaceMarineII and #Persona5. So close… but if he doesn’t respond in time (yikes), you know what that means! Reroll time!

#BlueProtocolStarResonance is not as bad of an #MMO as people make out.

Sure it doesn’t feel great, but it’s not exactly exciting either. It did get hit with negative reviews immediately, but it’ll stabilize over time.

It just takes time to get used to it's weird mobile UI.

Pawkt @pawkt.bsky.social · 7d

More Demos! More Demos! MORE DEMOS!
*Screams*

Since nobody has picked the big massive titles like #Persona5, #SpaceMarine2, #AtomicHeart and such, I'mma force it in todays #Giveaway on #Twitch!

But you didn't hear that from me.

Tsk Tsk Tsk.

Use BCC wisely.

One small (B)-CC slip and you risk 100 people spamming everyone into the block list. Sharing cat and dog pics is fun and all, but come on, in a content creator email thread? It gets annoying when we are not interested in the original content :o

My favorite is Beatrices Intro for the relic Hunter :0

Ooo, a sneak peek at the #IndieGames that have caught my eye for the upcoming #SteamNextFest! I won’t be doing another 150-game list this time, because #YouTube hates the effort I put into the timestamp heavy uploads, but it’ll still be in the usual format that you know :3

Previous day winners snagged another copy of #ForTheKingII, couple action roguelikes. Many of which were close to the listed numbers for #Persona5 and #SpaceMarine2, be sure to drop by for a chance!

Taking the day off cause I'm a workaholic.

Pawkt @pawkt.bsky.social · 10d

Gotten through the 50 or so #IndieGames that were showcased to me through emails and recommendations for #SteamNextFest. 27 of which made the cut. I’ll still be looking for more as they appear, but if you haven’t already mentioned your game to me, hit me up.

Good work!
