Finally took part in the Global Game Jam after so many years just visiting the local game jam site as a visitor! 😀 It was a dream come true to see so many people enjoying the game-making craft and working hard to make amazing games over one packed weekend. The quality…
I am a Blizzard fan boy. There I’ve said it. I’ve tried almost (if not all) of Blizzard’s games at some point or another. I admire Blizzard as a game company. Back in the day they stood right next to Westwood and Bullfrog as my 3 most favourite game companies….
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like 2D indie platformer that ran the risk of being yet another game I bought and added to my Steam library and never played due to lack of time. Thankfully that was not the case! I bought a couple of copies for my friends and we…
