The infamous goose game has finally come to Steam, along with a multiplayer (2) update.



Degica games are on sale (including a bundle of great schmups).



Another sale, this time for Paradox (grand) strategy titles. Only released title not on sale is CK3. Stellaris has a bundle seemingly just for this weekend. If that's not your thing though, Europa Universalis, CK2 DLC, Hearts of Iron and Imperator: Rome are all on heavy sale.



Earlry Access colonysim for fans of Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld recently launched on Steam.



Lobotomy Corporation's sequel (currently in EA) is on sale. If you liked the lore of its predecessor it's allegedly kinda a must. LC itself is 50% off right now.



Other news: WB is having a weekend sale, as is Devil May Cry; Serious Sam 4 launched to uninspired reviews.

EDIT: oh, and No Man's Sky is on sale after it's huge 3.0 patch (the 14th major content addition since launch), and it's 50% off as a result. It even has its sand worms, finally.

Needs 'prevent her from shaving her head and making a youtube apology'.
Pretty much. People fighting against "EVIL SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA" are basically as bad as people fighting against "EVIL NAZIS RACISM". Both are completely wrong and against a typical normie, but both find their suckers easily.

While Steam randomly censors VN games because they hate cute girls, while allowing hideous gay and/or furry games with little issues, this game somehow is now available in Steam. It's also an actually fun game to boot! A gamepad is highly recommended though.


I've checked out their upcoming games and this one looks the most interesting so far:

That gorgeous butt dithering!:bounce:

Though it does look like there are multiple artists drawing even the closeups.

Yes, it will.

infidel -- ohhh, I missed that one, thanks! Kinda keeping track of the ... let's called it Steam's eroge renaissance. :P

It's really cool to see this stuff done in variant stylisations and (at times) a lot more tastefully, rather than just 101 editions of anime tiddies. I'm not saying hentai can't be tasteful or beautiful, but there's definitely a pattern with what's been on Steam the last year or two that's not exactly high art.

Planning on playing Midnight Castle Succubus alongside something a lot more innocent as part of getting into metroidvanias more. ^^

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Never been a fan of sidescroller/platformer smut games. There are a few golden rules in lewd game design, one of them being that you don't want to incentivize failure. Having to do actions that hinder overall progression like getting hit or defeated by enemies is pure cancer and the sidescrollers typically have that issue.

Are ... all guys playing them with that in mind? >.>

I just dig it as a different theme or aesthetic, but maybe assuming they're not actually used as porn is naive as fuck.

This looks incredibly high quality for a shitpost game, the 2d art and animations are great WTF?

Steam Digital Tabletop Fest Debuts Oct 21

The first ever Steam Digital Tabletop Fest, celebrating games that cross between physical and digital, will make its debut October 21st thru 26th. Produced in collaboration with Auroch Digital, the event will feature virtual let’s plays, panels, talks and more streaming activities that explore the fusion between physical and digital games with legendary designers, upcoming studios, and you.

Working with Valve, indie studio Auroch Digital is helping curate the program of events and line up speakers such Sandy Petersen (Call of Cthulhu RPG, Quake, Cthulhu Wars and more!), Steve Jackson (Munchkin, Ogre, Car Wars and many more), Ian Livingstone (Co-founder of Games Workshop and Fighting Fantasy, Chairman Sumo Group plc), Elizabeth Hargrave (creator of the hit game Wingspan) and author and New Yorker writer Simon Parkin talks about how a board game helped the allies win WW2, among other topics.

Here’s a look at just some of the other wide-ranging activities happening during the event:
  • Plague Inc: Evolved - Where James Vaughan, game designer of the digital and physical version plays the digital game's boardgame scenario while discussing the design of both versions.
  • Othercide - The tactical-RPG blending strong art style, unique lore and challenging tactical gameplay, presented by its Art Director and Lead Game Designer.
  • Gloomhaven - llivestream, featuring the developers, will discuss the upcoming content for the next major update of Gloomhaven’s Early Access on Steam.
  • Virtual panel on games about Mars - Where game creators will be joined by actual space agency staff and scientists to ask what games get right and wrong about Mars.
  • Virtual panel on Cthulhu games - Where some of the most notable Cthulhu-themed designers from digital and physical ask about the cultural impact of such titles and more.

Join in during the live broadcasts to chat to the devs about the topics of conversations and their games, or catch them via VOD if you can’t make the live steam. More panels and talks will be announced as the event gets closer.

The Steam Digital Tabletop Fest features games that run across the lines between digital and physical games; this can be a digital port of a physical game, a game which has produced a physical version from the digital one, a game that simulates the physical play experience, or a digital game whose aesthetics are inspired by tabletop games.

To learn more and to sign up to be reminded when the event begins on October 21st at 10am Pacific time, please visit https://store.steampowered.com/sale/tabletopfest

Some Codex interest.

There are returning games like Solasta and Gamedec too. (Actually I wonder if Solasta's demo will be a new one considering that EA release is not far.)
