Let me sell you on HEAVENSFALL! Angels attack with devastating might, but hundreds of heroes answer the call. It's a campaign of arcs, each in a different game system, and never D&D. Here's a highlight from our 13th Age arc, The Book of Dust www.youtube.com/watc... #ttrpg #13thage #rpg

thisweekinvideogames.comEpic Games Confirms AI is Being Used to "Develop Code and Features for Unreal Engine""We are more concerned about the risks of moving too slowly than we are about AI skepticism"

I hate to break it to you, Tim Sweeney, president of Epic Games, but this will not reduce texture pop in time in the engine.

This Week in Videogames - TWIV@thisweekinvideogames.com

Following Tim Sweeney's remarks of a "huge pivot" towards AI at Epic, we asked the company what tools they're using to develop Unreal Engine, just how much they're vibe-coding, and whether they're concerned about backlash. Here's what Epic's EVP of Development, Marcus Wassmer, said to us:

A productive day! On Mastodon discussing how much you can breathe in a bong cloud so dense you can't be seen from a few feet away, and what kinds of aerobic activity that might support. On Discord working out where Senpai fits in with other titles (since Senpai is Japanese Esquire)

Zero words written on the TTRPG btw

I fuckin hope not

It's getting to the point where I have to reject game review keys purely because I don't have the time to cover all of them. Sucks, in a way, but I also never thought I'd be in this position. Now if only I could earn a living doing this...

DriveThruRPG has its problems, but I DO like that if a sale comes from a link you gave out yourself, they take less of a cut.

i am driving so much of our long tail directly from social media. sure glad steam takes a 30% cut of all of that for *checks notes* hosting fees i guess

store.steampowered.comSteam Curator: Nick AttemptsThe absolute top games from Nick Attempts, according to Nick himself.

I've added TWO games to my "Best of the best" steam curator list today! That brings it up to 9/57 games I've reviewed. store.steampowered.c... Full disclosure: I got free review keys for all these games, but my opinions are my own.

(8) Enter The Chronosphere A roguelike bullet hell where time only moves when you do. You'd think that would defeat the point, but it just lets them dial up the complexity. Extremely good fun and very tactical! Great for those who want to pause when things get too chaotic.

(9) Waltz & Jam This is the indie mascot platformer I've been waiting for. Part 2D Zelda, part Mario Odyssey, and a big chunk of Banjo Kazooie. It's polished, creative, pretty, and fun. I couldn't recommend it more. There's a free demo, try it right now.

store.steampowered.comSteam Curator: Nick AttemptsThe absolute top games from Nick Attempts, according to Nick himself.

(6) Quasimorph An *actual* roguelike with hints of doom and dead space. Viciously difficult, but very satisfying when you make the right call.

(7) Goblin Sushi Very chaotic high-speed game about trying to feed goblins as quickly as you can. Has Twitch integration for those of you with the streamer disease, and it works very well.

store.steampowered.comSteam Curator: Nick AttemptsThe absolute top games from Nick Attempts, according to Nick himself.

(4) IRON NEST A big gun simulator game where everything is greebly and tactile, with an undercurrent of dark, satirical humour and a bubbling background plot.

(5) Blood Typers Typing of the dead is vastly improved with multiplayer, particularly when panic sets in. "Where are you?" "I'm by the door that says SHLOP" "The WHAT?" never gets old.

store.steampowered.comSteam Curator: Nick AttemptsThe absolute top games from Nick Attempts, according to Nick himself.

(2): INDIKA A gradually absurdist 4-hour story following a Russian nun who sees the devil everywhere. An excellent use of mixed genres that doesn't outstay it's welcome.

(3): Echoes Of Mystralia Hades-style combat, but you build your attacks by connecting the boons in ways reminiscent of spells in Noita. It's extremely polished and gorgeous to look at.

store.steampowered.comSteam Curator: Nick AttemptsThe absolute top games from Nick Attempts, according to Nick himself.

The stats are even larger, though, because I specifically added 3 bangers from to this list from Nick Attempts reviews past, before I started reviewing games on steam, because they *had* to be here. So it's more like 9/150 ish?

The games (1): Until Then. One of the best narrative games of all time. You play a high school eternal procrastinator, trying to keep everything together after the world almost ended. Keep playing after the devastating credits, this game is Yoko Taroing you.
