Hi, I'm John Davis, Q-Games Community Manager and Assistant Producer on the latest PixelJunk title, Nom Nom Galaxy! We're honored to be part of the N4G Indie Month and to be in the company of such great developers. I'm also excited to talk about contest we're running now for a chance to win one of the exclusive Nom Nom Galaxy t-shirts we'll be giving away at PAX Prime!
If you're unfamiliar with Q-Games or the PixelJunk series, here's a brief primer. Our company president, Dylan Cuthbert, got his game dev chops on projects like the original Star Fox and development of the PlayStation 2. In 2001, he founded Q-Games in Kyoto, Japan. We've had our hands in small bits of the PlayStation 3 development, including my favorite PS3 visualizers, Earth. We've also done some great DSiWare games, like Reflect Missile/Trajectile and X-Scape. And we were lucky enough to return to the Star Fox universe on the Nintendo DS (Star Fox Command) and 3DS (Star Fox 3D). But gamers are probably most familiar with our PixelJunk series! Since 2007 we've developed and published seven PixelJunk games and various expansions on PSN.
Nom Nom Galaxy is the latest in the series and our first game to debut on Steam. It's unlike anything we've done in the past; a 2D genre mash-up of base building, tower defense, and galactic economic domination through soup that we like to call SoupCraft! This is also our first Early Access title, which has been both amazing and incredibly stressful.

Day 31 | Q-Games
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...
Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
"a 2D genre mash-up of base building, tower defense, and galactic economic domination through soup"
I mean there's literally nothing else you can possibly ask for!!! BRING IT!!
@ 4:40 in the video, I didn't think he was gonna do it, I was wrong
As the last game ofr Indie month, I wouldn't expect anything less than Nom Nom Galaxy. The game sounds very fun.
this game looks fu**ing amazing !
the art style and the 2d style is just wonderful :D
This is epic! I want this so bad XD
