DevBlog. Part 0. Not even humble beginnings.

It is difficult to talk about what you`ve done for the few previous months, considering how it hasn`t yielded any significant results just yet, nor you`re exactly sure it will yield any considerable result in the future. Nonetheless with the series of these posts that I`m starting I intend to describe my experiences should anybody hoping to follow my path be more informed of what can be ahead. Simply put, I decided to make games as a hobby and will now share my experience.

Plaid. We Happy Few. All we have are drugs.

Like We Happy Few this review took a while. And, as We Happy Few, this review will probable give out high hopes, but will leave you somewhat disappointed in the end. It`s not going to be outright terrible, yet you could feel that finer things that cannot be added in later are lost. So, strap in, take your Joy, and prepare for a quick rundown of my We Happy Few experience.

Plaid. Frostpunk. Night time stories by the fireplace.

Frostpunk has a very noble concept in its roots, humanity and everything. We`ve been told the game would want to talk difficult decisions of a society pushed to the extreme in its hope to survive. Instead this game is about the importance of mining coal before scripted events kick in.

Chuchel. The Looney Tunes game

 

Simple, short, pretty, cheery, CHERRIES!

Plaid. Warhammer: Vermintide 2. Make Reikland Great Again!

You might have heard about the reasonably successful Warhammer: Vermintide. If not, the premise stays the same: a proper fantasy Left 4 Dead, with ratmen and, now, chaos warriors of the North as your foes. It`s a solid piece that improves on the genre formula.

Plaid. Pit People. All about that Bling!

I`ve never had an acid trip, but had I had one this is how I would imagine it to go down: bright, colourful, full of bizarre encounters and even more bizarre messages to take home, that would all make perfect sense in the end. We`re talking a good trip, of course, the kind of one where a flying giraffe would tell you that you`re a good person no matter what. This, in short, is what Pit People is all about.

Plaid. Nantucket. Of dice and whales.

It`s a minimalistic strategy/role-playing game that has spontaneously emerged from the depths below, rich in valuable blubber that is the story, and can easily harpoon you into liking it. While not being exactly picturesque with most of encounters illustrated in text the game does manage to capture an atmosphere of a dreadful, yet adventurous business that whaling was in early 19^th century.

Plaid. PlayerUnknown`s Batllegrounds. The best chicken dinner in town according to some guy on Twitch.

Surely you`ve already heard of this game. With a large group of streamers on Twitch, with at least 30 million copies sold, with a recent record of 3 million concurrent players on Steam PUBG is one of the highlights of the previous year. Yet as buggy and un-optimised as it is the game surely earned its` record figures.
