After being funded on Kickstarter back in 2019, dreamed up by actual janitors, the SNES styled JRPG set in a world of trash Kingdoms of the Dump is out now.

It looks really great too, especially if you love retro pixel art RPGs. It launched November 18th, and has thankfully seen quite a positive reception with it now rated Very Positive on Steam. Nice to see another good launch for a game made with the open source Godot Engine as well, and of course it launches with Native Linux support.

So, it's like a whole game set in Site 32 (2300 AD) from Chrono Trigger? Interesting. I hope there will be a reference or two. Maybe a punk character named Johnny.
