Been slim pickings lately, guess it makes sense since were in for another themed sale in a week.

Submerged got a sequel


The guys behind Thief Simulator released the demo to their next game (which is not Thief Simulator 2)


Turnbased tacticool game, has a demo.


Looks like a decent Roguelite Vania.

Encased is not good. I haven't played Gamedec, doesn't seem to be well received though.
Probably better off just buying Beautiful Desolation separately tbh.

Insert Title Here Strap Yourselves In I helped put crap in Monomyth


i hope this is free because the 2D weapon sprites (or possibly 3D models) are just assets taken from STALKER mods

Turns out this is a GZDoom project, weird that I never heard of it before. The gun sprites do look very familiar.

Reminds me a bit of this Stalker-inspired GZDoom TC from some years ago:

Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Golden Light is out of Early Access :

I'm a sucker for weird shit so I may get it soon, however it kind of looks like a meme game so if anyone has already played it I would be much interested in his opinion.

JRPG sale is live:
https://store.steampowered.com/category/rpg_jrpg/

While generally

there are some gems. Coincidentally, Maxie just released the results of the Best jRPG ever poll and for instance Dragon's Dogma and Chrono Trigger, 2nd and 3rd place respectively in the poll, are included in the sale (or Dragon's Dogma is part of the Capcom sale I suppose that happens simultaneously)





Or if you would like to support a fellow dexxer, you can get Himeko Sutori for 50% off, developed by our very own Nathaniel3W



The second and third best RPGs of 2020 is also discounted:

I really liked the first one, so wishlisting this.

some explain to me who owns what now and where are original devs

As far as I can see the Publisher Good Shepherd Entertainment now owns the old catalogue of the original Dev CreativeForge Games (Hard West, Phantom Doctrine). Additionally Wikipedia says this:
"In April 2019, Good Shepherd Entertainment acquired a majority stake in Artificer, a Warsaw based game development studio founded by the core team responsible for Hard West and Phantom Doctrine. Artificer consists of over 30 team-members who have previously worked on numerous titles including the Call of Juarez and the Dead Island series."

Back in 2019 Status for Hard West 2 was this:
"As of February 2019, CreativeForge is working on two games: Hard West 2 is in development by an external team, with CreativeForge issuing the licence and publishing the game in exchange for 50% of its sales revenue [...]"

So Hard West 2 never was developed by the original team to begin with. The majority of old team members moved on to the Studio "Artificer". But this is NOT the Development team of Hard West 2. The game is being developed by "Ice Code Games", who are responsible for this abomination:



So I wouldn't get my hopes up for Hard West 2 being a worthy successor just quite yet.
