An interesting sidelight:

I have used MultiPlay servers for over five years for both communication (Mumble) and game servers. I got a notification from MultiPlay last Thursday (1/3/2019) that the servers that I purchase will be shut down on the 28th of February 2019. The email had this link to the MultiPlay Blog:

https://multiplay.com/2019/01/03/important-information-regarding-multiplays-community-server-offering/ [External Link]

There are two takeaways that I get from this post:
1. They have decided to "close our community server offering",
2. Their new business model will focus on "providing services direct to game creators and a better experience for gamers"

I am having a hard time sorting this all out, but my first thought is that MultiPlay (now owned by Unity) is gearing up to be a/the gaming platform for Unity based games.

A casual 'life simulation game' and beautiful graphics... Looks like something I would enjoy. I will be adding this to the long list of games on my Steam Wishlist. Hopefully they will have a good sale price during the Steam Winter sale. (Three Days and you can bet I am counting!)

Will be downloading the demo when I get home this evening via Steam. Looking forward to taking a look at this one.

I love the concept of Kickstarter. Whenever someone mentions that they are supporting a Kickstarter project, I am jealous; but not jealous enough to give them my credit card number. I have one friend that I support on Kickstarter. To accomplish this I have to go to the store and purchase a VISA Gift Credit Card for the amount. This is more work than I am willing expend for anyone other than an IRL friend.
This project is different, it allows you to use PayPal to support their project! This is not through Kickstarter, but through the Moi Rai Games website. Very smart! In addition, the Kickstarter page and the website have a polished look and feel. This project got my backing.

Very Nice Review BTRE!
Simple, but yet engaging... that is a combination that I can get behind. I was on my Steam Wishlist, but moved it into the Top Ten after reading this review.
Thanks BTRE

Simple and not too serious, sounds like a game that fits my personality to a T (tee). I went to Steam and hit the "Purchase for myself" button. I also noticed that Iceberg Games is having a giveaway, "Win 3 Free Iceberg Interactive Games of your Choice!" According to the Steam page:

The winners will be announced next week.

Great interview! I will be looking forward to upcoming interviews with the other developers.

I do not have a great deal of knowledge about using Steam Play/Wine to run Window games. I have kept my life simple by only playing Steam games that support Linux. This approach has worked out brilliantly, but I am curious about the compatibility issues with various Windows games.

Which Windows based games are the most notorious for having invasive DRM and anti-cheat technology?

Thanks for the "Heads Up" on this one. The Unity Game Engine is amazing.

Thank you Stray Fawn Studio for this generous offer!

I would like to duplicate the drone that is depicted in the 1987 movie "Cherry 2000".
