Just shouting this into the void in hopes that some fortunate soul heeds my words and buys the game.

Sektori is one of the most addictive, challenging, and satisfying twin-stick shooters ever made. I can't put it down.

4 - Sektori

Feels like Sektori might just be the apex of twin-stick arcade shooters. This game is so fucking great if you’re into this style of game.

If you play on Steam, add me. I just want to make sure I’m atop my friends leaderboard 😄

People often jump to saying online propaganda is either the work of radicalised actors, or else Russia.

In practice, it’s amazing how often the answer is much simpler – someone is chasing either (a) clout, (b) money, or (c) both.
Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.

He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

Sektori is very, very cool.

Found Sektori in EDGE #419. Didn't know it was there so was a fun surprise! That's another one off my bucket list. I'm not sure if there's anything left on that list at this point. Maybe I need new buckets.

Seems I bought my new computer at the perfect time. The memory I bought then for 320€ now costs 1150€.

Having finished Clair Obscur now, I'm curious of how others feel about the battle system? For me the rhythm game defense was a huge letdown. The tactical side lost meaning. Exactly zero times I needed to adjust my build if I failed, just try another time and you got it because you have the timing.

If you speak Finnish, I highly encourage you take a look at the Microsoft Translator website. They’ve proudly translated the entire site into Finnish to show it off. www.microsoft.com/fi-fi/transl...

It’s so terrible it should be insulting, but actually ends up cathartic. The machines are clueless.

It's been about four months since I last did any "creative" work. Only technical and business since. Would be really nice to get back to actually creating something... but not looking like it'll happen any time soon.

Random maybe interesting #indiedev fact. Sektori costs 14,79€/$14.99/£12.79. Due to Gabe's 30%, VATs, misc regional pricing and weak dollar, what got to me on average (no sales) per unit was in November 8.52€ and in December 8.38€.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.

A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.

The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

Desperately searching for how to do this thing in Unity, and where do I find the answer? In my own old forum post. Nice.

When a robot is stunned you can turn off its brain! Some weapons in Reconfigure will only be able to temporarily stun an enemy so you will need to disable them manually to finish the job. #GodotEngine #indiegames

Sektori est une pure merveille. 😍 Je n’avais pas été accro à ce point à un jeu depuis belle lurette.

Il est tellement bien que je me suis chauffé sur le panthéon PS5 mondial. Le moment de gloire ne durera pas, mais croyez en vos rêves.

I feel fortunate to have grown up before smart phones so I have a baseline of addiction free normality. I try to keep my phone clean, but when Sektori released I installed bsky etc. again to keep track. And now of course I check it constantly for no reason. So it's time to clean the phone again.
