WTB Sleep, Discord Content Update. Snippets- June 23, 2023

News and info yanked from shiny game Discords!

‼️ Behind on so much shit, dividing it into multiple posts! This one is specifically for updates and news I've yanked from community Discord servers. I'll do a second post within a day or two with information from social media platforms, etc. 

⏰ Forever Skies is finally out in Early Access. A few days ago, I received a key via email from backing it on Kickstarter. Still feel like ass, though, so I haven't played. Be sure to post pictures of your awesome airships to our Discord! (YouTube)

⏰ Be sure to check out Life Not Supported, currently rocking an updated demo on their store page. The game goes live into Early Access at the conclusion of the current Steam Next Fest. (Steam Store)

Hashtag Survival

 ‣ I'm still surviving on 2 hours of sleep a night, coupled with an exhaustive amount of doctor visits. Functionality is slowly returning as some medications allow me to briefly check out to sleep during the day- mostly for one or two hours here and there. I have a massive backlog of Hashtag shit to catch up on, so I will try and work on that as the brain cooperates. For right now, getting Snippets back up is my current goal, followed by Dead on Arrival. I also need to sit and pass through the website directories; there's been a lot of changes.

Don't Miss Out

• ⁉️ There are a TON of sales up for Steam Next Fest, be sure to check out the specials list on the Curator page. Be sure to check out Homeseek during Next Fest. They're doing an exclusive Multiplayer reveal on their Discord server on Saturday. The demo available during the festival has been updated to the most recent build- and it's a ton of fun. You can even post your score to a channel in Discord for a chance at winning a game key. ICYMI: both Dee and Becca did a review of their time in the previous incarnation of the Homeseek demo!

Survival Gaming News

• I glanced at the official Discord for Goner; supposedly, it's still in the works. Or at least a backer said the team published some news at the end of May. (Steam Store)

• Junk Survivor added player-hosted multiplayer to the game. Plus a crapload of other stuff. (Steam News)

• Thoughts on the newest trailer for Outbreak Island? (YouTube)

• Above Snakes will be 20% off during the Steam Summer Sale from June 29 until July 13. Get the game. You won't be disappointed. In other news- they're introducing a new game mode and a ton of QoL requests from folks. (Steam News)

• KeepUp Survival has a new trailer! I like the look of the content changes, but I am not a fan of this trailer music. Bleh. (Steam News)

• Hit the link for media and teasers of upcoming new content for Mist Survival. Big takeaway- this should hit the TestBranch on July 30th and the main branch around two months later. (Steam News)

• The animal update announced by Aloft at the start of June will be released on June 30th. (YouTube)

• The Jungle Update will be coming to Stranded: Alien Dawn on June 29th. New region, features, mechanics, tools, and more. (Website Blog)

• Voidtrain opted to split their upcoming content drop-which was looking huge but a ways off- into multiple small drops. Supposedly to get the content into the hands of players sooner, but maybe it's also a stab at getting the game to rise above a Mixed review? A ton of new stuff plus fixes, so tap the link. (Steam News)

• Dead Matter posted a whole bunch of words, but the key takeaway is Early Access in late August 2023. There's also a video log if you're into that. (YouTube)

• A very detailed content breakdown for DevLog #3, well done Escape the Pacific. Disappointed that Radu is no longer wearing neat hats. (YouTube)

• Forever Skies roadmap! Large content drops are planned every 3-4 months.

• Some interesting notes regarding Frostpunk 2!
