I had a chance to play the demo for ALABASTER DAWN (the new @radicalfishgames.com title) a few days early. Absolutely loved it. Quick thoughts: * Pixel art is gorgeous as always; story is mysterious * Bosses were intense * Upgrade grid seems great * Puzzles are back! They weren't too finicky either

A floating pixel-art god that says "your journey... it has just begun"

A battlefield with an intense looking enemy with a sword and shield. The player character says ".... a challenge, hm?"

A grid showing upgrades for your character. The highlighted node is the "affinity up" skill, which increases the chances of critical hits.

Two characters stand in a puzzle room. One has a glowing line to a floating crystal. Platforms move as they interact with the room.

They say that all #videogames are either parkour or menus. My current now-playing runs the full gamut.

A screenshot of a "now playing" screen, showing both "Neon White" and "Fire Emblem: Engage".

And lastly, I've added links to some social media accounts across the site! It's a little much if you're clicking around the site, but if you land on a single page, I think it mostly stays out of the way. #RSS is still the best, but I'm also willing to meet people where they are!
