I am not engaging in discourse today, but I *will* be at TGAs, so, PR friends, if you have anything you'd like me to be aware of or think I should see, I'd love to hear from you

'Few games capture the spirit of indie game development quite like VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. What initially started out as a short game for a Cyberpunk Game Jam back in 2014, soon became a standout indie hit. VA-11 Hall-A delivers a heartfelt story of happiness in the depths of disaster, draped in a unique cyberpunk aesthetic and set to a distinctive synthwave soundtrack to match. It’s a truly remarkable visual novel, and the perfect choice for our Design Works range. Produced in collaboration with Sukeban Games and Ysbryd, VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works explores the corrupt metropolis of Glitch City, its culture, and the people who frequent the game’s beloved hole in the wall, VA-11 Hall-A. Written by talented journalist and author Ashley Schofield (Polygon, EDGE, Unwinnable and VGC), you’ll hear how this world came to be and the cyberpunk touchstones that inspired it — all the while lending insight into the history of Venezuela, where the team is located, and the unique challenges of developing a game there. VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works will be a celebration of this beautiful indie masterpiece, and the people that made it all possible. Alongside contemporary interviews with writer/programmer Fernando Damas and artist/designer Christopher Ortiz conducted exclusively for VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works, the book also features a collection of highlights from the ‘Daily VA-11 Hall-A’ blog posts directly from Sukeban.moe. You can also expect deep dives into the development of the game’s prototype and prologue; the bartending mechanics that put you in the shoes of disaster bisexual bartender Jill Stingray, and interviews exploring its iconic synthwave soundtrack/jukebox with composer Michael Kelly. VA-11 Hall-A: Design Works features detailed insight into the game’s early concepts and development, an exploration of Glitch City itself, and a deep dive into the programming, art and soundtrack — an unmissable read for any fan.' A magazine cover of Unwinnable Monthly #191, with the feature being my essay 'I Don't Want To Be This Kind of Animal Anymore' and art by Shafer Brown. An excerpt reads: In the dark times, should the stars also go out? 'Revachol is still. Silent. Decades of unrest, corruption and capital gain have reduced it to a shell of a city. And yet, under these sullen skies, a miracle is happening. The limbed and headed machine of pain and undignified suffering is firing up again.' My review of Hollow Knight: Silksong for Video Games Chronicle. 'Hollow Knight: Silksong review: A game that intends to make you suffer, even to its own detriment. Team Cherry’s sequel has a clear mission statement, but doesn’t seem to consider the consequences. 3/5 stars.' My review of Demonschool for Rock Paper Shotgun, included in RPS' Bestest Bests category. 'Demonschool review Saturday morning carcasses.'

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )
A digital drawing referencing the quoted image. In the style of an early 20th century drawing, a woman in a dress holds a minigun. The text above is changed to read "Does the minigun make women cruel?"

Just played through A Short Hike.
I love this #indiegame and recommend it to everyone.

You have to experience its charms firsthand: little moments add up into an emergent story unique to your playthrough.

Work + life have me a bit burnt out lately. I really needed A Short Hike, and am glad for it.
Title screen for adamgryu's 2019 indie game A Short Hike. A car drives along the road, lit by street lamps and the stars, with a sliver of sun on the horizon. The player character, a dark-blue bird named Claire, sits next to Bill the Walrus beside Meteor Lake as the two spend a moment to fish. They are surrounded by green and orange foliage, and the day seems calm and warm. Claire breaks the silence with a simple "so". Claire is asked a question by a sunbathing frog: "you ever had a pancake before?" Claire replies: "yeah", no capitalization or punctuation. I think Claire's chill, occasionally deadpan responses are pretty humorous.

I'm very grateful I got the chance to write about one of my all-time favorite visual artists, Ayami Kojima, for @lostincult.co.uk's Lock-On 006.

The wild box art of some of the lesser-known Psygnosis 'Psyclapse' label releases.

Roger Dean is the most famous artist for many of Psygnosis's covers, but there were also others who created cover art for them, such as Ian Craig, Peter Andrew Jones, and Melvyn Grant.
The box cover for Nevermind, which is a cover that leaves a fair bit to interpretation, with a male figure in ornate clothing in front of a glowing half-orb at the bottom of the screen, fist raised to his mouth, while behind them, shadowy figures gaze through a round window at him. The cover for Anarchy, with a close-up painting of an inhuman eye and mottled skin around it, with what look like circuitry patterns flowing to or fromt it with a splashy text logo spelling ANARCHY above it, Captain Fizz meets the Blaster-Trons, a cool scifiish cover with exotically armoured figures striding through a mustard dust cloud on an alien world, with a bulbous space craft or structure rising above it behind them. It looks like an early 70s pulp sci-fi cover. Stryx's cover has a Robbie The Robot-esque bulbous legged retrofuturustic robot beind blasted above a skin tight body suited figure above which it looks. A distinctly Starfleet logo design is emblazoned on his back. It's all got a desaturated, yellowish green palette that evokes a Boris Vallejo vibe as the buy is quite muscular.
