Nintendo hasn’t revealed much of their 2020 lineup yet. The only game from that we have a concrete…

Released on PC in 2018, Frostpunk might be my favourite city-builder of all time. Set in a harsh, unforgiving world in which a global cooling has wreaked havoc on the world and driven a small colony of survivors to settle the last city on Earth around a steam generator, Frostpunk forces you to make tough decisions and many compromises on your journey for survival. Its most recent DLC, Frostpunk: The Last Autumn, brings you back to the time just before the eternal winter strikes and comes with a new set of challenges.

Nintendo had their Indie World Showcase video today. You can check it out below and please come back for some thoughts from me about the showcase. The Indie World Showcase for 8.19.2019 was just ok.

You play Stella, ferrymaster to the deceased, a Spiritfarer. Build a boat to explore the world, then befriend and care for spirits…

What if Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon wasn’t focused on farming? What if it had you doing a more sinister job…like running a graveyard! Welcome to Graveyard Keeper for the Nintendo Switch. You are the new graveyard keeper. You’ll be burying bodies, digging them up, selling them for parts, fishing, crafting graves, possibly farming, and other  things. Will you have fun while doing all this or should Graveyard Keeper rest in peace? Graveyard Keeper’s story is basically a way into…

“Bee” a Tiny Hero One of the games I was looking forward to at PAX South was Bee Simulator from Poland’s Varsav Game Studio. I’m always enthused about games with the potential to be both fun and educational.  As a gamer, mother, and full-time educational game design professor I had high hopes for a simulation game. During PAX South, I had the opportunity to play the demo. Varsav Game Studio’s Founder / Vice President Lukasz Rosiński sat down with me…
