If you like top-down shooters I totally recommend checking out Mech Havoc, just came out in early access but it's promising already.
It's similar to a project I am working on, and the dev was nice enough to answer a few questions I had. If you have thoughts on the game would love to hear them.

Mech Havoc on Steam
Sandbox of destruction. Billion different ways to build your mech. Feel the weight and impact of obliteration in this modern old school mech combat sim.

I love giant walking robots. Giant walking robots are great. I hope I can work on another giant walking robot game some day. That would really be great.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 still kicking over there, this has to be the longest development time for a game ever right?
I'm sure they had a skeleton crew or put it down for a while, but that has been cooking for a looooong time.
Hope it does get a release just to see what it is at this point.

I have really been liking Vivaldi if anyone is looking for a new web browser! Switched a few months back and haven't missed Firefox at all. Sucks that Mozilla has come to this, but there are good alternatives nowadays.

I was playing Unfair Flips, got maxed upgrades and had gotten to 9x twice, then tried to exit or bring up a pause menu by mashing the escape key a few times.
This is how I learned that mashing the escape key resets your save data! No pause menu.

Getting back into personal projects after a long break is always weird, feels like someone else wrote this code. Nice to get some fresh eyes on it though, some things are obviously messed up and need to be fixed but some of these systems are set up decently!

Was really enjoying Baby Steps, but I think I just hit a bug that pretty much stops the game for me?
