This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies.

Consider that, whoever did this, is more passionate about this maligned game that died in a few weeks that you are for your favourite games that you played for years.

surprised Twilight Epoch has not found an audience, permadeath FPS with a garegga rank system and levels like bryce renders? experimental and messy but with a clear high level idea

NeverAwake FLASHBACK, the single-session expansion to Neotro's nightmarish twin-stick STG NeverAwake, has been dated for December 10 on PC, and there's a demo up atm store.steampowered.com/app/3072510/... this was originally planned as DLC but, for various reasons, was spun off into a separate game

Sektori (week 204): There it is. The final "Making Of" video. Last 4+ years of my life. Game's not "done done" yet, but nothing to show left to do really.

I've been playing corru.observer all day. An exploration game where you poke around inside an alien biocomputer and shit goes down. Really good writing and insanely cool presentation with some captivating mysteries. Also it plays straight in the browser!

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.

10 Years of Critpoints
10 years ago (and 2 months, but who's gonna nitpick that?) I started this blog, Critpoints. Before that, I had been writing for Gather Your Party, a modest blog that aimed to challenge the establishment of professional games journalism with a staff of volunteers, no advertising, some of the early crop of gaming video essayists, and the tagline, "Honest Gaming Journalism".

A-cho's staff via @chibax7jp on Twitter have confirmed that the "a-cho GAME" and "a-cho battle movie" channels will stay online, with ownership being transferred to the business that operated the arcade.

It seems that there are no plans for "a-cho Staff" to be deleted either.
