Quoting: tuubiIt does look enticing, but the "Multiplayer Online" bit will keep it off my wishlist. I suppose this is for the extroverts among us.
From what I'm seeing here, a lot of the multiplayer aspects seem to allow for not interacting beyond greeting others as you both go about your errands, rather than absolutely needing to team up. I like the idea of that, since it would make the world feel more "lived in" than solely NPCs populating the place.

This is looking really good, and seems to be the sort of game I was hoping Wander would be, way back. But where that attempt at a non-combat, exploration and RP focused MMO made some bad choices and ultimately failed, this project seems to have some serious thought and effort behind it.

Will definitely be taking a close look at this once it hits EA or release, whichever comes first.

Explore, hatch monsters and train in Monster Sanctuary out now

I really do like how Monster Sanctuary plays. The combat feels good, the exploration too. The story and characters aren't especially deep, but what's there is fun to interact with.

If anything, the only criticism I've had so far is with one particular boss who absolutely punishes you for not using particular strategies that...the game never indicates are necessary to succeed. In fact he comes right after several levels of pretty much stomping enemies with just paying attention to affinities. Like hitting a brick wall, which did give me a negative opinion of that part of the game.

Wait, is that a "wine road/route" joke? Well done, if so.

Village builder Odd Realm is now available DRM-free on GOG

The headline is a bit oddly (heh) worded, suggesting it wasn't available DRM-free before it came to GOG, even though it was already DRM-free on Itch for a while now. And well, depending on your definition of DRM in Steam's case.

Narrative-driven adventure Impostor Factory from Freebird Games due out Spring 2021

I'm not so much "oh no, Imposter Factory is delayed" as "oh boy, Imposter Factory will be out in the spring!" Kind of a glass half full...of tentacles!

Ubuntu 20.10 rolls out today, along with official support for the Raspberry Pi 4

Looks like the variants are lagging behind? The Ubuntu MATE release hasn't happened yet in any case.

Instead of manually importing games, it now attempts to sync up with your library across other stores like GOG, Humble and Steam.
So...still no Itch integration, then?

Dunno about the game, but I already want the soundtrack.

Stardew Valley to get splitscreen co-op in the big 1.5 update and what else to expect

As I understand it, there will be more interactions available with your spouse and child, a random option for the jukebox, and new content in general throughout the game. Plus various quality of life stuff.
