i'm giving a talk at this year's roguelike celebration. for those not familiar, it's a really wonderful (free and fully streamed) conference on roguelikes, game making, procedural generation, and the philosophy of game design. my talk will be on landscapes.

You are fast. You are powerful. You are throwing a bear trap at a man's head like a damn baseball. And you are stronger than your enemies could ever imagine. I Am Your Beast--one of the most wishlisted games on Steam--is OUT NOW for only 19.99. GEDDIT store.steampowered.com/app/1…

information: A good change imho
Breaking: in response to complaints of 'free demos are stomping on paid games in the New & Trending charts', Steam splits out a new 'Trending Free' tab on store.steampowered.com/, and moves all new & free hotness over there.

You used to be able to name a board game “Escape From The Aliens in Outer Space” but today you’d have to call it like “Pod” or something.

Some of the games that impressed me at Develop: ➡️ Dead Meat by @MeaningMachine_ ➡️ The Horror at Highbrook by @TomNullpointer (Or maybe I just like red key art? 🔴) Check them out!

Placing characters and objects in rooms you get thinking optimally about who can do what, keeping a watchful eye on their hunger, fatigue and perhaps even delusion. Hugely ambitious, mysterious and enigmatic, it felt like a whole new genre was being created in front of us.

The Horror at Highrook by @TomNullpointer sets you in a mysterious mansions piloting a cast of characters by dropping cards into rooms. It looks like Cluedo but plays like... well, plays like nothing we'd ever seen before! store.steampowered.com/app/2…
