Finished the Mermaid's Mask with a rat friend on Discord. This might actually be a GOTY contender for me. The writing for the murder mystery is extremely good and really got me on my toes. It really got me and my friend discussing after every session. I really, really recommend it

Also forgive me for being salty buuut If that was the goal for Riot Forge maybe don't choose stories that require league homework?? On your small sample size of 4 indie games And I'm sure Arcane S2 was so great that you tried to sell $250 skins afterwards. Shut up.
Text that says the following:

What differentiates these potential new games from those made under Riot Forge? Merrill explained that Riot Forge was stood up to "go tell stories to acquire new customers."

"There's nothing wrong with that strategy from a macro standpoint, but as one example, one of the things that was really effective to acquire new players was Arcane," he said, referencing the 2021 Netflix show set in Runeterra, the fictional world of League of Legends. "The reason we did Arcane wasn't to go acquire new players. [It was] an outcome from doing something great."

Sure, Riot. I'm sure you won't abandon this one if it doesn't make the big bucks immediately.

Finished Star Fox 2026 This is actually my first star fox game. It's a fun little arcade game! It's pretty obvious that this was a remake of a game made in the 90s. It's fun and the game does look great. I got used to the artstyle. Though I do wish the characters evolved past their tropes.

Finished deltarune chapter 5! That was fun! this is probably the best gameplay of all the chapters so far. It’s really varied and I do love the character cast this chapter brings too. Susie and Noelle are cute

Finished Mina the Hollower! What a great game. The movement is a lot of fun and allows for fluid hit and run combat, very similar to Splatoon. Some of the trinkets do diminish the difficulty and that ice level sucks, but the game is fun. Also Mina is a rodent which is always a plus

Just finished @cowcatgames.com's Brok the Investigator indie game. I was expecting Chaotix Casefiles and I got that to an extent, but I was surprised at how ambitious the story was. While I don't think it nailed every aspect of the story, I love the characters and the gameplay was really solid!

I have finished Outer Wilds! What a game! An extremely well designed puzzle game that spans across the solar system with very moving ending. This might actually be one of my favorite puzzle games Props to @bobosmith01.bsky.social and Sorald the rat for hanging out with me while I played!

I'm sorry but what the heck is this Mario Galaxy Movie about anymore? It just feels like a bunch of cameos and game references to make nerds happy. I think the first just wasn't for me, but I'm just confused at the direction of this movie now

I finished Demon Tides and I think this is one of my favorite 3D platformer games. The presentation is a bit unpolished but the movement is the best I’ve felt. That and the checkpoint system makes the game feels so free. I highly, highly recommend the game if you’re a fan of 3D platformers

Finished MIO for February. It was a neat little game with a cool art style but I don’t think I ever fully bought in the game at any point. Theres some aspects of the level design, lore integration and platforming mechanics that always felt off

Finished with sonic crossworlds for the most part. Very fun platform racing game. The online is very addicting! Also Vector grew on me the more I played him. Can’t wait to hear more of his audio drama coming out this month.

Finished PAC Man world 2: repac. Pac man world 2 was my first video game ever and it was so much fun visiting pac land again. I am shocked at the amount of good new content added. I am just expecting this studio to make their own original PacMan world at this point. Had a great time!

Zephyr @zephyrcoderat.bsky.social · 29/12/2025
Using the video game doodles I've drawn, I've made an ordered ranking of all of the games I've played this year. I recommend anything "GOOD" or higher Overall, it was a fantastic year for indie games, but I'm not sure if it's a good year for AAA with the price hiking, GenAI, and industry troubles.
Ordered ranking of all of the games I've played this year in 2025. It goes as follows:

GOTY
- Silksong
- Expedition 33

AMAZING
- Deltarune 3+4
- Hades 2

GREAT
- Mouthwashing
- Great Ace Attorney 2
- Blue Prince

GOOD
- Ender Magnolia      (Tied with below)
- Star of Providence  (Tied with above)
- Dispatch
- Neva

OK
- Great Ace Attorney 1

BAD
- Metroid Prime 4

Why did we add another Arcane character in 2xko? Why did we add another ranged zoner in 2xko? Half of the roster is Piltover-Zaun at this point.

Oh! Forgot to post the Hades 2 Doodle for Zephyr in October. It sure is a Hades game! Story is a bit worse. Gameplay is a bit better, but it's still the funny greek roguelike I love. Favorite weapon is the torch. I love range.

Finished Dispatch today. Fun little Tell tale game. The concept is very funny and it works well for a game. I do think it ended at the perfect time before I got tired of the mechanics. But I am sad that I didn’t get to see more of the Z-team interact
Zephyr the rat working for SDN superhero network from Dispatch. He got a caller on the phone.

“She called us again to clean her house. I’m so tired. I’m sending Twitch (league of legends”

Zac interrupts the call. “You sure that’s a good idea. He’s allergic to soap.”

Zephyr responds “I don’t care. He put moldy cheese in my locker.”

Got a Leap Motion controller today. Trying to play with what hand motions look like with Twitch. That big brace of his does lead to a lot of clipping.

Well out of curiosity, I looked at VTubing stuff and made a Twitch VTube Avatar using the model from WildRift. That was a bit easier than I thought. Maybe I'll use it to stream games on discord or something.

Finished Expedition 33. Really good game! I can see why it’s a GotY contender. For a big budget game like this, it feels very personal and metaphorical that you don’t often see, especially in the third act.

One last day at the August Fairgrounds before it gets turned into another Zaunite factory. Who knew Twitch was so good at darts! Based on this story: archiveofourown.org/works/594821... Commissioned from x.com/filthyss #LeagueOfLegends #Fanart #Twitch #Zac #Zaun
