The feedback on The Long Dark‘s paid DLC sits at mixed currently, mainly because people can’t seem to read the fucking disclaimer note about this being a portion of the content. The rest is set to release throughout 2023. (TLD Expansion Content List)
Last month we released our first DevLog video for The Infected. Mostly some great reviews and feedback, minus the person who said they couldn’t hear me?? Oh yea, by we I mean that I did the video. (The Infected DevLog #1)
The entire team of Finnish game development studio Forbidden Studios was abruptly axed shortly before Christmas. There was apparently no warning given, since the team was completely flabbergasted as well. As of yet there’s been no announcement or response given about the game or any future plans, minus a short sentence or two on their Discord and Steam forums. (Among the Trolls– Steam)
Fractured Veil is creeping towards the release of Wave 4 game access for their Kickstarter backers. A team member on their official Discord pegged ‘later this week’ for some additional news on the topic. This is the wave I’ll have access to so I’m… some unit of measurement closer to getting in one day. (Fractured Veil on Steam)
Far North is now officially live and playable to those interested as a pre-alpha. There are NO restrictions on playing the game nor making content on/about the game. Just yanno- remember it’s super early and likely to be incredibly broken. (Far North on itch.io)
Full disclosure it’s been a very long minute since I last booted up Icarus with my sister – I mainly experience the game by reading their copious patch notes for their weekly content drops. I’m hella confused as to the direction they’re going though, in the past month or two they’ve tanked a more positive slant to feedback with the changes to the way data was handled. (decentralization patch.) Judging by the commentary many folks are wondering if this is their attempt to slowly walk away from the game. (Icarus Steam News hub)
Quick it’s a game that takes place – possibly only partially?- in a jungle. CUE THE ‘AMG THIS IS JUST GREEN HELL’ OUTRAGE SQUAD! One day we’ll get over all of this shit. These video teasers for Update #10 tickle my fancy. I am all about 3D inventory management. And being able to move and place stuff around your home? *chefs kiss* (Blind Descent update 10 on Steam)
If you’re wary of backing upcoming games financially – understandable, coughDeadMattercough- you can maybe win access to Rooted when it enters Alpha? (Rooted on Steam)
Rustle up some overalls! If you enjoy playing KeepUp Survival you’ll now have access to farming – and a truly dizzying array of available seed types. (KeepUp Survival Update #67)
Planet Crafter has an updated roadmap that spans all the way to start of 2024! (Planet Crafter Roadmap Update)
