CALICO IS AN OPEN-WORLD GAME WITH A LOT OF PASTEL COLORS AND A CHARACTER GENERATOR THAT APPARENTLY LETS YOU CREATE A CUTE GIRL OR A SAINTS ROW FREAK. THAT’S ALL I KNOW BUT I LIKE OPEN WORLD GAMES AND THE ART STYLE IS NICE SO IT’S GOT TO BE WORTH A MENTION.
I TYPED THIS POST IN MIXED CASE AND I AM MORTIFIED. MY APOLOGIES FOR THE FAUX PAS. ANYWAY, THIS GAME IS BEING COMPARED TO DRAGON AGE, WHICH IS GOOD OVERALL IF IT DOESN’T FEATURE AN INTERMINABLE BATTLE ON A ROOFTOP WITH USELESS BALLISTAE. IT’S UNFINISHED BUT AVAILABLE IN EARLY ACCESS ON GOG AND STEAM.

I AM VERY CLOSE TO DONE (I ASSUME) WITH THE DLC FOR THE OUTER WORLDS, AND A QUESTION IS PERPLEXING ME. IN THE OUTER WORLDS TIMELINE, DID MANKIND SOMEHOW COMPLETELY LOSE KNOWLEDGE OF THE MANUFACTURE OF MEDICAL AMPHETAMINES? ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH A LITTLE DUE DILIGENCE, SPACER’S CHOICE. SHAME ON YOU.
I WROTE A VERY SIMPLE BYOND GAME BY THAT NAME ONCE. IT WAS A SHAMELESS HOMAGE TO JOHN CARPENTER’S “THE THING”. YEARS LATER, SOMEONE TRUNCATED THE TITLE AND ADAPTED IT INTO ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR GAMES IN THE WORLD. I’M NOT BITTER, I JUST HOPE THE AUTHORS ARE USING THEIR MONEY FOR GOOD AND NOT SUPPORTING THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.
ANYWAY, HERE IS ANOTHER SHAMELESS HOMAGE IN PROGRESS. IT EVEN HAS A TAG LINE (“THE WARMEST PLACE TO HIDE, IS A LIVING BEING”) THAT IS A SLIGHTLY LESS ELEGANT ADAPTATION OF THE MOVIE’S ORIGINAL TAG LINE (“MAN IS THE WARMEST PLACE TO HIDE”). LOOKS COOL BUT SADLY, SURVIVAL AND HORROR ARE NOT REALLY MY JAM. THEY MAY BE YOURS THOUGH!
THIS IS KIND OF NEAT. THIS DEVELOPER IS MAKING AN ULTRA-DETAILED MODEL OF A SINGLE APARTMENT, WHEREIN PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR WILL ALLEGEDLY TRANSPIRE.
THE SECTION OF THE VIDEO SHOWING EXAMPLES OF THE LIDAR SCANNING IS ESPECIALLY COOL. IT REMINDS ME OF SCANNER SOMBRE (WHAT I’VE SEEN OF IT; HAVEN’T ACTUALLY PLAYED YET). BUT THE GAME ITSELF IS NOT DOT CLOUDS — THE DOT CLOUDS ARE JUST AN INTERMEDIATE STEP IN METICULOUSLY MODELING THE APARTMENT.
ANYWAY, MY LIFE IS ALREADY JAM-PACKED WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR BUT I ADMIRE THE ATTENTION (OR OBSESSION) TO DETAIL.

THE GAMING WEBSITES ARE ALL A-TWITTER TODAY (NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF TWITTER, I DELETED MY ACCOUNT WHEN THEY SHUT DOWN THE PRESIDENT’S) ABOUT RUSTLER, OR AS ITS MAKERS ARE BILLING IT, “GRAND THEFT HORSE.” YES, THAT TERM HAS ALREADY BEEN APPLIED TO TWO RED DEAD REDEMPTIONS, BUT THIS TIME IT’S MEDIEVAL. ANYWAY, ON FEBRUARY 18 IT LEAVES EARLY ACCESS AND ENTERS THE REALM OF PERFECTLY BUGLESS GAMES.
GRAPHICS-WISE IT SEEMS NOT DISSIMILAR TO A MEDIEVAL VERSION OF AMERICAN FUGITIVE. I WILL MOST ASSUREDLY BE BUYING IT. IN FACT I WOULD BUY IT NOW BUT THEY AREN’T SELLING IT YET.

ACOLYTE IS AN UPCOMING GAME THAT APPEARS TO BE A 2020’S UPDATING OF THE REVERED ELIZA “A.I.” THERAPIST-BOT PROGRAM.
THIS ONE IS CALLED SUNLIGHT. IF YOU LOOK AT A SCREENSHOT YOU MIGHT THINK IT’S A 2D GAME WITH PAINTED BACKGROUNDS, BUT NO, IT’S IN FIRST PERSON 3D. SOUNDS LIKE A SHORT, RELAXING EXPERIENCE.
I WATCHED A LITTLE VIDEO AND THIS LOOKS LIKE SID MEIER’S PIRATES WITH A PROCEDURALLY GENERATED WORLD. IT COMES OUT IN FEBRUARY. I MAY VERY WELL TRY IT.
THE LINK BELOW IS FOR A GAME ABOUT GAME HUSBANDRY. YOU PICK TWO GENRES, MIX THEM TOGETHER, AND PLAY WHAT YOU GET. SOUNDS LIKE FUN FOR RETROGAMING FANS.
