There's a demo out on Steam today and the game is coming to kickstarter apparently.

Pretty fun Minecraft style game. The demo just came out. Spent all afternoon collecting aluminum nodes and feeding treats to the bright red chickens.

"Banner of the Maid" is currently about 3 bucks on Steam, down from 16 bucks or so regular. Played the first 2-3 maps, it's pretty much Fire Emblem, except with more sexy female artworks <3
Demo for Pacific Drive is available on Steam

Nice thanks for posting. When I'm back home. I'll try this game. Have a pretty long list of games I want to play.

I just pre-ordered it based on the reviews. SkillUp also highly recommends it. It has Subnautica and Outer Wilds vibes.
Interesting video about the tech of Persecutor, with the Polish one man dev and his great accent hehe
Sigh.
Was interested in Pacific Drive but nope, I'm out.
These are some of the car stickers. Fuck them, enough other games to play.

So let's be real, there's a 99% chance there's child porn somewhere on at least one of the dev's computers then.
Yeah, fuck these guys.

What the fuck is Abrosexual and Agender? Every day some new sexuality pops up.
I'm out too. Games are not a political vehicle. So get it out of my games.

In the beginning I wasn't interested in this game, now things have changed. Looks beautiful. Like someone in the YouTube comments said it's a cross between hollow knight and okami.
Release date is July 18.

Oh FFS! I had this wish listed and was about to pull the trigger.
Now, if I see a "pro Christian" flag to go along with those, I will still buy it eventually.
Yeah no way that's in there tbh, would be very surprising. I was thinking about buying a key for 16.99 to not support the devs for that shit.

According to the steam discussions, the delux pack also has a bunch of BLM shit thrown in there as well.

Some indie demos I played during the Steam next fest:
Meta-Ghost: The Breaking Show
Hades style gameplay but with multiple characters offering different play styles. The gameplay isn't quite as "tight" as Hades is but still overall pretty fun. I'm not sold on the longevity compared to a game like Hades, seemed a bit more shallow than I would have liked but by comparing it to Hades I'm giving it big shoes to fill.
Pacific Drive
I had been interested in this since the first trailer and was very keen to play, the demo was good and I really liked the repair/customisation/progression of the car but the characters seemed a bit annoying and I was surprised it wasn't one large world. The reviews since have talked about how it's all randomly generated individual zones with a very heavy focus on looting (I felt that even in the demo) and I've lost a lot of the interest I originally had.
Helskate
Tries to be Tony Hawk with combat as a roguelike. Concept is cool but I didn't really feel it was that good, felt quite frustrating to play and kind of unpolished. Perhaps if you were really into the idea or a big fan of skateboarding games then it might be up your alley.
Mortal Glory 2 Prologue
Turn based arena roguelike. It was alright but I didn't feel it did anything particularly well. Just overall rather mediocre.
Toy Shire
Tower defence with a kids toy/army men aesthetic. Another cool concept and this one had quite a bit of polish but just felt boring to play. You're limited on how you can build your defences, VERY annoying voice overs and some other weird stuff going on. I would rather play something like Plants vs Zombies or Pixeljunk Monsters for pure tower defence or Orcs Must Die for more action focused.
Stormgate
If you like SC2 gameplay (especially for the online element) then you'll probably like this but if you're like me and played SC2 for the campaign then I don't get the feeling this will have a similar level of story, the aesthetic and design are also more cartoonish. Could be one of the best RTS's to release for a while if you're into online though. I'm not sure if the full release will have mod support/custom levels but if it does then that could be good too.
Mullet Mad Jack
Very fast paced FPS with roguelike elements. Too much for me, I like fast paced shooters but this was just over the top (by design) It kind of felt like they were going for something like Hotline Miami but the demo didn't have any challenge or anything, it was just mindless running forward and shoot at everything in front of you. Maybe it will be better in the full game with more variance to the gameplay (the trailer looked like it had different mechanics) but I wasn't impressed with the demo. Only thing I liked was the cheesy aesthetic since it's quite standout.
Balatro
I tried this because I was a big fan of Inscryption and thought it was similar but I don't play/like poker so was sceptical. Turns out this was awesome and easily my favourite of every demo I tried. It's a roguelike deckbuilder based on poker but even if you've never played poker before you'll get the hang of this. Feels very satisfying to play, the demo alone has loads of options and mechanics. Only thing stopping me from buying the full version is that I have way too many other games to play already and I know I'll spend many hours on this.

It's free and it's great (if you dig these old school roguelikes like I do)

Maybe it's a gag? What the fuck is abrosexual lol
Apparently it's bisexual people but super unique and special, as half of these narcissistic perverts tend to be, with the other half being straight.
60% chance of being pedo's either way.
