Thank you, Brandon!
Thank you, Brandon!
I had an absolute blast with Denshattack. It is a skateboarding game, except your skateboard is a highly customisable Japanese train that is allergic to spending more than a few seconds on a rail.
If there is a publication out there interested in coverage of the growing Portuguese videogame industry, reach out to me here via DM or email me at goncalofrlsantos22(at)gmail(dot)com.
Despite the steady decline in the industry as a whole, Portugal is growing and we're already doing great stuff.
And many more to come... If you haven't been following the Portuguese videogame scene, you're missing out.
@camel101.com are still updating their creepy lovecraftian survival FPS store.steampowered.com/app/1593230/... with tons of content.
@whalesandgames.com is developing the whimsical Townseek (store.steampowered.com/app/1659360/...), letting you explore the gorgeous world of Explora in a cozy experience.
@astralshiftpro.com is updating the demo of the upcoming Hell Maiden (store.steampowered.com/app/3372060/...), their unique narrative-focused take on the Survivors-like genre, featuring their iconic art-style.
funpunchgames.com is working on the gorgeous Shelf Heroes (store.steampowered.com/app/3151140/...), a co-op FPS Roguelite in which you and everyone around you are toys. The game was recently featured in @futuregamesshow.bsky.social Spring Showcase.

Person who did the ‘noticing’ here (and spent a good portion of yesterday attempting to track down an Xbox rep at GDC).
Would have been nice to have that work acknowledged!
Hi @windowscentral.com! Why didn’t you cite the news outlet that first discovered this?
We didn’t report on this because gamers posted on Reddit. @kerrblimey.bsky.social was prepping a story and found the posts were all scrubbed.
Would love it if you updated your story.
Here is my first piece for startmenu, a review of a bizarre yet fascinating videogame which has put Poor Locke squarely on my map.
If it is a good read, you can (and should) thank @kellymerka.bsky.social for that, they are a godsend in editing form.
People who only speak one language struggle to understand how others can be more complex, or at least complex in different ways.
As a fluent Portuguese and English speaker, English certainly is the simpler language in writing, but likely more complex orally, as an example.
Hey, any games press want to cover our big upcoming steam event with Irish games?!?

Happy international women’s day! Why not read my latest column about Being a Woman and Station to Station here:
Hi Ashley! Could you send me a DM? Would love to discuss some things with you about Little Goody Two Shoes, Pocket Mirror, and other Astralshift things!
Kelly is the best editor I've worked with. Not only do they fix my painfully rough drafts, they do it in a way that helps me learn what I'm doing wrong. Fantastic addition to any team.
A $5 Patreon Sub can go a long way.
Would you be interested in a pitch about Astralshift? You've previously published articles about them. I'll be talking to the studio this week.
american mcgee worked on doom and quake, but even more importantly to me, he created ALICE ⚔️
EA controlled the IP and strangled it ⚔️ mcgee went into retirement ⚔️ but that's all in the past. he confirms to me a spiritual sequel to ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS is coming

Demon Tides makes a great first impression with stylish design and satisfying platforming.

I hope Cyanide Studios manages to survive following the news of Nacon's insolvency. AA is the heart of the industry and the French studio is doing excellent work.
My latest for @thephrasemaker.bsky.social is a review of Cyanide's Styx: Blades of Greed. I bring a perspective of someone who didn't play the first two titles in the trilogy but loved this one, despite its flaws.

My combo interview-review of Station to Station featuring @meredithgran.com is now up for non-subscribers:
this piece is the first one in my loose series I’m hoping to do this year about women, writing, and games. I’d love to speak to more women game writers/developers about their work and experiences!
