My #videogame project is still on track. I made great progress!

Here is the development plan for the upcoming v0.4.0

I wanted to release this version for May 2026 but there were too much issues to fix.

I've updated the board with more labels and categories to help me sort this out.

Very qualified #SteamNextFest for #VirtueAndASledgehammer

It's not a fun game. It's a #WalkingSimulator where you smash your hometown to pieces as a way processing the trauma it inflicted on you, but maybe you know you're wrong while you're doing it? It's messy and weird, and I couldn't stop thinking about the demo after I finished it.

After playing the new Xbox release #Keeper by #GameDev Doublefine for ~10 minutes, short version, go play Jusant; it's all the same mystical wonder visuals, without Keeper's cardinal sin of being a 3D game that doesn't give the player control of the camera.

You know what's worse than a #WalkingSimulator? A Walking Simulator on *rails*.

This is a movement mechanic game, where the lack of freedom of movement means the primary gameplay loop is an exercise in restriction, and a denial of fun.

I was pleased to learn that "Agentia" has made it into the official selection of games for the Aesthetica Short Film Festival 2025. It will be available to play in the Games Lab that will be running during the festival period, 5-9 November, in York. More details anon!

Since the weather here in the #PNW has been hot and dry and I've been stuck indoors I've finally decided to tuck into #PacificDrive to get some spooky moss vibes.

It's a weird #videoGame; like a #driving #survivalHorror #walkingSimulator with #crafting mechanics.

It's not the kind of #game for people who need things spelled out for them. It throws you into a world full of gauges and switches and says "figure this out quick before you die".

I still uphold my review of the original #DeathStranding being a 8 out of 10.

If you review the game as an action-adventure game, it's abysmal and a piece of garbage. If you judge it as being a exploration simulator, it's very good apart from some dull moments and weird/convenient events.

I expect #DeathStranding2 to be the same.

repeat boosting my Web VR spatialized music environment from a couple years ago, because the platform/engine Mozilla Hubs is going down next week.

I want to restore/rework this at some point, but I can't reasonably say that will be soon, so this is the last chance to check it out for now.

if you're curious, take a walk and a listen around! (Chrome recommended)

February 27, 2024 - Day 423 - NewPlay Review
Total NewPlays: 459

Game: Paradise Lost

Platform: Steam
Released: Mar 25, 2021
Installed: Feb 2, 2024
Unplayed: 25d
Playtime: 23m

Paradise Lost is a first-person walking simulator set in an alt-history 1980 where World War II did not end in 1945, and the Nazis managed to survive until (at least) the 1960's, before setting off nuclear weapons and retreating underground.

A lot of folks aren't big on walking simulators, but one of my favourite (ever) games is a walking simulator - Firewatch.

A walking sim needs to have a good pace, and a good story.

Therein lies my biggest issue with Paradise Lost; the walking pace is so agonisingly slow, that 20 minutes into the game, I was only just starting to scratch the surface of a game that seems to have an incredible atmosphere, and design aesthetic... and Nazis.

It is the story of a boy named Szymon who, after his mother's death, seeks to find the answers as to who she really was, and who the unknown man in a photo is (or was).

This leads Szymon to this abandoned underground world built by the Nazis to escape the consequences of their bombs.

Unfortunately, Nazis just feels too on the nose in 2024, and combined with the excruciatingly slow pace, Paradise Lost is an unfortunate:

2: Meh

Game: Edengate: The Edge of Life

Platform: Steam
Released: Nov 16, 2022
Installed: Feb 10, 2024
Unplayed: 7d
Playtime: 31m

Edengate: The Edge of Life is a third-person post-apocalyptic walking simulator.

You play as Mia Lorenson, who wakes up alone in a deserted hospital. It starts out feeling a little bit like the opening scenes of The Walking Dead, then goes in a different direction.

"Walking simulator" is often considered to be a bit of an insult to a game, but one of my favourite games of all time (Firewatch) is a walking sim.

It's got my interest piqued, but it's not quite as "keep-going" as I found Firewatch. I'm still interested in seeing where it takes me, and finding out what Mia has to do with the apocalypse that unfolded while she was unconscious.

I *have* a theory, but if it turns out to be correct, it will be so on the nose I'd probably come back and lower the rating; at this point, Edengate: The Edge of Life is:

4: Good

Game: Dear Esther: Landmark Edition

Platform: Steam
Release Date: Feb 15, 2017 (Feb 14, 2012)
Installation Date: Oct 25, 2020
Unplayed: 0d
Playtime: 16m

From Esther is a first-person walking simulator. The Landmark Edition is a remastered version of the original 2012 version.

You find yourself on a deserted island in the Hebrides, off the coast of Scotland. You can move using the WASD keys, and zoom with the mouse button, and... well, that's it.

You walk around this beautiful windswept island, and as you do, you encounter abandoned houses, shipwrecks, cave systems with glow-in-the-dark cave drawings, and the occasional figure disappearing into the mist.

As you walk, voiceovers are triggered intermittently, of an older English man, reading letters addressed to "Dear Esther", which begins to lay out the story of how you find yourself there.

It is, to my mind, the purest expression of the walking simulator genre.

Sometimes when I write reviews, I do some reading up on the game, to see if I missed something, or to see if there's a context for a gameplay decision that seems nonsensical, or just to understand something like "why is it called 'Landmark Edition'?"

In this case, I learned something unexpected.

Dear Esther isn't just a walking simulator. It's THE walking simulator. Dear Esther's gameplay is the gameplay for which the subgenre was named. It was apparently the subject of much debate back in 2012, as to whether it truly counts as a "game".

One of my favourite games is a walking simulator (Firewatch), so it's not that I have any particular bad feelings towards, them; it just feels unfortunate that given this particular game's place in gaming history, it didn't grab me more.

With that said, this game evokes a very specific, melancholy mood, and it's a game I can see myself returning to, when I'm in a particular frame of mind.

So for me, Dear Esther: Landmark Edition is:

3: OK

Game: Little Man Has a Day

Platform: Steam
Release Date: Aug 17, 2023
Installation Date: Aug 21, 2023
Unplayed: 75d (2m14d)
Playtime: 30m

Little Man Has a Day is a 2.5D walking simulator about a little man having a day.

With hand drawn graphics, this game is a deeply complex and cerebral exploration of what it means to be human.

Well, as deeply complex as one can get in 13 minutes. Because that's how long it took me to finish the game. The only reason I have 30 minutes above is that I went back to get the rest of the achievements.

As "Little Man" you wake up and you're having an "eh" day. You explore the map, and meet a handful of characters, and write about it in your journal.

Little Man Has a Day is free on Steam and it's:

3: OK
