Technology Tell writes, " There are so many things to take into account with Massive Chalice. What heroes are available is one. The gender and fertility of available heroes, since you’re going to want to breed the best ones possible, is another. It’s the best way to get stronger heroes, or perhaps fodder to act as Sagewrites to improve research speeds or Standard Bearers, to make other heroes stronger. That isn’t even taking into account class, what items to research, which buildings to construct, what locations to defend against Cadence attacks since they always hit more than one front, and more."
The Humble Day of the Devs Bundle 2022 just launched. It includes sixteen items including Psychonauts, Brutal Legend, Broken Age, and more.
Tom Chick - "For the first time since I’ve been doing these lists, which is probably ten years or more, over half of my choices are from independent developers. It’s an encouraging development. When you consider the movies chosen by critics on any given year, you won’t necessarily see the most popular, and you probably won’t see the most profitable, or the movies with the biggest budgets. Instead, you’ll see lists that include the best of independent cinema, arthouse releases, or at least the indie branding from the major studios. When the best of the year skew towards people who aren’t beholden to stockholders, it’s a sign that a medium is maturing creatively. Leave financial success, hollow fun, and the pursuit of pure entertainment to the corporations. Leave thoughtful design, innovation, storytelling, and creative impact to the hungry men and women with something to say."
