Hashtag Survival

 ‣ Dee and I have been working on fleshing out the descriptions for the subgenre project; I think it's going pretty well! These definitions are by no means set in stone. I haven't even tagged every game yet. Join the discussion on the Hashtag Survival Discord and add your two cents!  

   ‣ The filter system on the main game directory is a bit closer to completion. I've swapped how we filter single-player vs. multiplayer games, adding a second set of refinement filters and a short written description. The available platform list has also been updated.

 ‣ I finally got around to adding Rooted to the upcoming games directory. I'm still kinda SUS about it.

Don't Miss Out

⁉️ Above Snakes Prologue! Great plan for your weekend!
