I’m about 10 hours into Esoteric Ebb and I’m very much in love. The writing and pacing of the game is super on point, and I’m already starting to feel sad as I’m getting closer and closer to the end.

Seems like there’s quite a few story beats you can miss though, so hopefully there’s a strong reason to come back to it after rolling credits.

I really want to play this but I ain’t got the cash right now. Trying to avoid all spoilers. Hope you all have fun though!!

Is a full party of 4 when it is at its best? I’ve got two other people interested so wondering how it goes with 2-3 as our schedules are a little misaligned

I started on Nobara and it’s pretty stable now, been on it for a year. I think it’s the perfect place as it’s based on Fedora so easy to look stuff up and know how to handle problems, but it auto-installs the Nvidia drivers and gets you going immediately.

They have a pretty good discord for support too!

That’s awesome to hear. I’m planning to get some time with it next week and write something up specifically about it for the newsletter!

I never played the prequel but heard this is a lot more polished so maybe it has what you are looking for. If you do jump in let me know how it goes!

A rare treat these days at this level of production

I’ll keep it going as long as I can!!

We are approaching 200 games on my Wishlist and I own 1337 games and I’m not making that number up haha

Ooooh nice going to check it out this weekend! I’ve been so focused on our own demo for next Fest that I haven’t had a chance to play much yet!

It’s a little possessed though…

Let me know how it is if you do. No one in my community wants to buy in and I don’t think it would be much fun solo. Definitely want to play it at some point.

It really is if you’re okay dying over and over again. I managed to finish it in just over 2.5 hours. It’s a mighty fun time and does some unique stuff.

The more you know. Seems like it’s taking that into a dungeon crawler.

I never really got into game books, but yeah this looks pretty rad!

CrossCode is a great game! I never finished it, not because I didn’t love it, I just had other things going on at the time. I need to go back though!

Those folks are working on something new. I can’t remember what it’s called right now. But that is a studio who is very dedicated to their craft.

Well you can’t leave me hanging, what was the game?

I plan to do it! I do a weekly newsletter that features 5 games every week so I’ll just post one a day over here with a little snippet and it should be golden.

I started the newsletter to bring more awareness to indies. As an indie dev myself, it’s really hard out there to get people to see your game these days.

Weren’t they just accused of grabbing their own ad data?

I use 1Password so I’m guessing Librewolf handles Firefox extensions? Should be fine there.

I don’t mind logging in every time actually, but yeah I can take a look at those settings.
