One of the best games on this list is Spilled

super super short, but oh so good. And perfect for the Deck.

^ ??? They do? Not in my case lol, like at all.

I finished 3 scifi books recently, and I just now checked, none of the authors list a discord anywhere on their sites. They all have the normal socials like fb/twitter/bluesky (I love that they're all on bsky, the only social platform I use!!)

murderbot - no discord for author
these burning stars - no discord for author
daemon - no discord for author

I stopped checking there.

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has been an extremely eagerly awaited game for me for what seems like FOREVER!!! I am so happy it has hit release! Trese are no joke some of the best devs out there, ever. I know this'll be a great success for them and couldn't be happier! I didn't have time to get into it last night, but hopefully this week I'll be able to do some testing. This is the type of game though that's so deep, I know it'll suck up all my limited gaming time!

the shapez series is about the only "city builder" (do you call it that?) that I have ever been able to get into. I think because it lacks fighting / uncontrollable aggression, and is just "go at your own pace and build cool stuff" which is exactly my style. Love shapez2 and eagerly awaiting full release!

@Corben - The Ascent is so good!!! It got a bit repetitive near the end, but damn did they do a fantastic job of world building.

Right now I'm playing some Oblivion, looking forward to getting into Tainted Grail after I'm done there.

But more importantly: Cyber Knights leaves early access this week so I can finally play it after this LONG wait!!! WOOOO!!!! Been looking forward to this for forever.

Some thoughts after playing the demo on the Deck:

HELL YES!!!! It runs perfectly, no issues at all with controls, graphics, performance, etc. Visuals are old school 8bit, which is great. I personally prefer the 16bit style, but this is also wonderful. Really any of the older pixely styles I love. Navigation, combat, puzzles, inventory management, equipment, etc... all seem on point for a rpg like this. Seems like it was very well done and the dev put lots of work into it. I only have two questions/issues: 1) there doesn't seem to be a map of any type, no minimap, world map, etc... Maybe that's just this demo though? Maybe there really is a map? Not sure. 2) There doesn't seem to be any kind of stats or info during battle. Enemies and party members have strengths and weaknesses like all rpgs of this type, but I had to try and just memorize them, since I couldn't find any buttons to bring up a stats or info screen. This led to frustrating battles where I forgot what one random enemy stats were and attacked it with a type of attack it was immune to. Seems to be WAY too much info to just memorize. But again, maybe there is, and I just don't know how to find it, or something?

Overall though those don't detract from what feels like a great game!

I'm all in on this game, thank you so much Liam for bringing it to my attention!! Very much looking forward to release this summer.

Wait, you're telling me twitch (and other services????) don't do cloud based transcoding? They want you as the source to send all the different flavors? What on earth?

Whoa this looks pretty cool! Awesome to see something come out of kickstarter after so long. I'm always on the lookout for good turn based old school rpgs for the Deck. Chained Echoes I played last year and loved it.

I'm super excited to get the battery limit feature in the normal non-beta release! That'll help tons.
