Nah, that's a different project. Bloodborne/Nightmare Kart wasn't nominated in our 2024 show, but I played the arcade version at Wonderville as well as on Steam. Lilith rocks, good on her for making the game free too.

Great news

Buying both. Played the Cairn demo but not PEAK yet.
Thanks for acknowledging the /v/GAs nomination 😎

Saw this at a museum and thought it was kind of cute

See you there!

I know you're asking as a joke, but formerly, PayPal Key. PayPal Key would hook up to your credit card and a card like Discover would take 5% off any PayPal-coded purchase.

Sadly, they discontinued it. Next best thing would be a CIti Custom Cash that you never use.

Another orange cola I enjoyed while in Germany - Fritz-Limo.

Paulaner "Spezi", a soft drink also available imported to the US under the name "Sunset". Got introduced to this in Germany. Delicious Fanta/Cola mix.

MONOWAVE. A really thoughtful "emotion platformer" with a striking scratch paper art style. You solve puzzles by transferring feelings to other animals, and together, you all "clear the path".

THANKS, LIGHT. You use a flashlight to turn 2D shapes into 3D objects, giving them weight and gravity to solve platforming puzzles. They even add a "dark flashlight" later to revert objects back to 2D

The Korea booth at #gamescom went hard. We interviewed two of the developers showcasing there -- THANKS, LIGHT and MONO WAVE. More about their games in the replies below.

PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant. The booth at #gamescom was a hit with attendees, it simulates planet defense through interacting with one big cannon and we got a chance to interview Raffa, one of the developers behind the project and hope to have the interview up soon.

Here's the English translation for the activity booklet (MTL, don't shoot the messenger). ZZZ isn't my thing but was with a friend so stood in line with them. I still got merch for going through it though.

Booth was managed by Princeton Kuway. They had a survey, pic of which is attached.

Zenless Zone Zero had a collab with Aston Martin. Thought I posted this, but didn't. Here's a bunch of it. #gamescom

Tomorrow comes today, three weeks later. Dumping more #gamescom pics (tagged with #gamescom), and then I'll post PAX pics an indeterminate amount of time later.
