My first Barony run ended on floor 1 when I picked up a cursed necklace that nearly choked me to death before a rat bite delivered the final blow... I can see why people like this game.

Hey @bladesonggame.bsky.social, I just want to say your writer is an unsung hero. I went in blind and did not expect a well written visual novel on top of my sword smithing sim.

#wishlistwednesday is all well and good but what about #witchlistwednesday where we highlight some fellow cozy magic game creators we have our crystal ball on, like @stuckinattic.bsky.social's Hocus Focus or @twoandahalfstudios.com's Willowmist Emporium. Any other devs we need to add?

Chrono Ark 🙂 although their answer was to make very few characters relevant to the overall narrative.

I like writing about games but glancing at Bluesky for 5 minutes and seeing all the ultra talented writers struggling is enough to make me forever avoid it as a career.

The readers, I get people want the job numbers to go up or articles to not look like an advertiser threw up on them but I struggle to see how the industry supports it in the current state. That or we all have to just move to short form videos I guess.

It is VERY Hades X Dead Cells. So from that you can probably decide if it appeals.

Turn based tower defense that finds it's inspiration from euro board gamed. It might not have a huge wow factor but it's very competent with a ton of heart. store.steampowered.com/app/3235170/...

Alright you sold me, Consider it added to the wishlist and potential cart that I will whittle down before the sale ends. Thanks for the rec 🙂

I should also try Citizen Sleeper 😄... How's the writing in Duskpunk? I'll be honest and say this isn't my usual genre but Disco Elysium thoroughly gripped me with the writing and later added voice acting (very high bar I know)

This looks so unique and interesting I'm giving it a wishlist for release time despite the fact one of your selling points is "Horror Infused Gameplay" and I'm an absolute wimp. How long is a run through expected to be?

I don't know about that, I got to September where you did like 6 reviews in two weeks and felt shame! It's been a busy year though and you are absolutely right that it's not a competition 🙂
