It's Next Fest day 2!

Remember to check out Go Kart Island, the only game in Next Fest with go-karts... on an island. As far as I'm aware at least.

More games should have a Nokia 3310 as a main part of the interface! Great demo, and can't wait for the full game!

Less Miserables on Steam

A point-and-click parody of Les Miserables. Part 'Monkey Island', part 'Allo 'Allo, Less Miserables aims to do for 'Les Misérables' what 'Life of Brian' did to The Bible. Vive la révolution!

Makes a great point: it's so interesting watching people play your game at events to see where they stumble (and when they laugh!)
