Old gaming magazines went so hard man
NextFest demos:
Queen's Domain
store.steampowered.com/app/4081520/...
The vibe's are IMMACULATE.
As someone who never played the PS1 classic, this felt exactly how I imagine people remember King's Field.
It's depressing, it's lonely, it's slow. It's worth checking out.

One thing I've noticed during this Next Fest is just how good sound design and musical aesthetics has gotten.
So many games so far have audio landscapes and languages that are either guiding you to heaven or punching you in the face (positive)
Pre-Purchase Resident Evil Requiem priced at almost $100
What is goin on in the world?? I genuinely cannot afford this right now.
I'm endlessly glad that these are the guys who bought Giant Bomb and use it to just make shit like this
Bombun

This is the kinda game you'd play second last on a demo disc and lose hours of your life just straight vibin'.
Simple, unique and trying it's damn best OK!

Also whoever did this trailer absolutely gets it. 10/10
Far Far West
store.steampowered.com/app/3819240/...
I posted about this before but I will be endlessly mad if this doesn't become a major contender for GOTY.
A fully PvE extraction shooter with flawless questin', shootin' and long term progressionin' mechanics.
Play this

Antivirus Survivors 2003 Professional

I think this is how our parents felt using the family PC after we discovered LimeWire.
A very unique Vampire Survivors clone set within Windows XP. Does a phenomenal job of creatively packaging 2003 PC usage

It's like if early 00's Newgrounds made a Doom clone that punched you in the face over and over again (positive).
The perfect depth of gameplay to help you meditate on the frissons within the ultra-violence.

And the music fucken rips!

Go grab 3 of your friends and this demo on Next Fest. This is no joke my GOTY so far.
Helldivers meets Highguard in the Wild West with endless imagination.
One of the bosses is a whole saloon.
@farfarwest.bsky.social
What is this about? Can anyone explain this to me?
I also love this.
But zero in-game footage is crazy to me.
Prepping our #SteamNextFest coverage over on noclip_2 and the @noclipvideo.bsky.social Crewcast for later this month.
If you're an indie dev planning to have your demo as part of the event, feel free to reply here, in my dms, or send me an e-mail (in bio)!

I'm not gonna give it a negative review though.
I only played one round and realize it's not really for me.
Played one game of Highguard. I don't think I get fast paced battle royale games where encounters with opponents seem to somewhat come down to who has the better gear/most armor.
Also the map is way too large for 3v3.
I spent the weekend trying to process what's happening in my city of Minneapolis, Minnesota by creating this video. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
Sounds like something the Thing would say
YEEESSSSSSSSS
An image of a quote tweet featuring Griffith from Berserk holding the Behelit in a river. The text says "Damn this scene is fucking beautiful". The main tweet says "NEVER FUCKING MIND".
Man. Kentaro Miura's final chapter of Berserk...
Might be as perfect an ending as could be hoped for.
I don't know if I should read any further.
noo i cant believe i missed this
I though Anthem had been gone and was waiting for a reboot this whole time??
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Episode 01

BTW if you're ever curious "who da heck makes game trailers" @derek-lieu.com made a cool starter pack full of people from that side of the biz from indie to AAA. highly worth following them all if you ever wanted to check on that side of the industry.
Funnily, the client with the biggest, strictest and most complicated contract to sign is the only one to have screwed me over.
While multiple clients who have not required any signed paperwork have actually given me more at the end of a project as extra thanks.
(Still, always get a contract)
