Check your emails, beta codes for Infinity Niki are going out
its the dress up game open world puzzle platformer
which is based on a franchise that has mostly to this point been phone gacha dress up games
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131
the switch to UE has been known for months, but the name change is probably good PR. I remember the rumor that the engine cost 500 million for them to upgrade from BLAM so them abandoning it in less that 5 years is pretty funny.

You can save a lotta money by buying it not on steam
I got the ultimate edition for less than the steam store has the deluxe edition for
you've always been able to save 10-15% by buying Steam keys from reseller sites, I've used Fanatical from time-to-time for that
the only drawback is you lose your refund ability (and key delivery sometimes can take 1-2 hours), but if you're set on pre-ordering super ultimate editions of these games it's 100% worth it
Yeah fanatical is great for saving money
I don't buy that many full-price games, but for the super collector ultimate editions it's usually worth bothering
I paid around 90 for the 110 ultimate edition
it is funny how $60 games selling for $90 is now a "deal"
2024 rocks
way more important
Ice Pick Lodge announced a 3rd Pathalogic today
they're doing another "remake" of the 1st game
no word on which routes are in this one
from Twitter, this is going to be the Bachelor route at a minimum
I think making each route its own game is fine, and I don't even hate numbering them since there is an order to them
but it's definitely because it would sell better this way
versus doing DLC
did Tinybuild publish 2?
god I hate Tinybuild
I knew he got shafted by his pub
Hypetrain (who's publishing 3) is a slop brand
but they're more hands off
I'd appreciate if he had some sort of release cadence now, with a new publisher 18-24 months between routes would make me happy
and then figure out how to bundle/market Pathologic 2-5 together in some way
There was a small indie time-loop game I played yesterday that was decent, but frustrating
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2720950/Grunn/
It's made by Sokopop, who do game jam style development for all their stuff
this was definitely one of their bigger projects, and a lot of it is fun
my issue is that it's a time-loop game without progress between loops (because it's already fairly small)
it's a 5* concept, executed really well, but Sokopop only makes small games so it's a tiny version of a great idea for a big game
