If you're enjoying Demonschool, please review it on your platform of choice! We would love to reach 500 reviews by the end of the month on Steam, especially. If we can achieve that goal we will put something very stupid into the game for you all as a reward......

Sometimes I hate myself for the kind of gameplay ideas I have, coding this tumbling block physics with the screws was SOO hard

But I'm happy that the block puzzles are getting more varied and better integrated with the platforming, pacing and all

(game is ABYSS X ZERO, btw)

The map is dark and has some demonschool arcane imagery hidden inside it. a chibi version of the teacher from the game, with droopy eyes and blue and white hair, has a pointer that's pointed at california saying "Pay attention, here's when class starts in your part of the world! chibi Faye, with red hair an undone white overalls, says "is it supposed to look all cursed like that?" The times are: 7 AM PT 10 AM ET 4 pm GMT 4 pm CET 5 PM EET 8:30 PM IST 11 PM CST 12 am (nov 20) JST 2 am (nov 20) AEDT

Black protag = usually won't be considered for a real award, but they want to get points so game is relegated to "impact" awards.

Amazing seeing what was jammed into that category.

South of Midnight is only in "Games for Impact" whatever that means at this point. Truly one of the best OSTs this year, and if you don't plan on playing, I recommend you check it out anyway.

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

The IWGB has just announced that 220 letters, signed by Rockstar staff, have now been delivered to leadership at the company, demanding the immediate reinstatement of their fired colleagues.
A demonstration for the fired Rockstar employees held in Edinburgh last week outside the front entrance of Rockstar North.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
