The demo for my new game A Thousand Cloys is now available /o/
Harvest resources, import Cloys, and cleanse your assigned planet of Klein radiation.
It's a minimalist incremental game where you have to find the nodes of a tentacular skill tree by scouting the world around you!

There hasn't been a single game in my life where I've thought, "Man I wish could ask this NPC absolutely anything I want and they'd respond."

Even if I had, it'd be novel for about 2 minutes.

I'll take 50 handcrafted lines from an actual writer than 1 million from a glorified chat bot any day.

Arcane's budget ($250 million for 2 seasons) is certainly very high, but given the quality produced, it could also be compared to the budgets of animated films.
So, per minute of animation, Arcane cost 3 times less than Spider-Verse, and 4 times less than a Pixar film.

Preview of "Scavengers Reign" Season 2. Unfortunately, this new season has not yet been greenlighted. So the creators of the show (Joe Bennett & Charles Huettner) and Green Street studio produced this concept trailer in-house.
