Operation Alien Translation
As I begin the waiting game in order to allow developers enough time to respond, it is a good idea to cover games found on itch.io. These games take less time to cover although the quality is still there. Today I have Operation Alien Translation to go through. This game is a total brain-melter. It’s a super tough challenge where you translate alien words under pressure. I’ll be honest...I’m actually not good at it at all. It’s incredibly difficult, but trying to crack the code is a fun, rewarding struggle. Granted it would be easier to document every move you make but I felt that would make my first run TOO easy.

Off Days
Typically when I don't post for a while I don't have any in depth content to post. I look on itch.io a lot to find games, many of these games do not require the same depth of review or I cannot contact the developer in a timely manner. This time though, I figured that I should document what I am doing. I strive to deliver quality content and as it is just me, that often takes more time than I would like. Today was all about the hunt. I’ve been digging through a few promising indie finds like Farmer’s Market and Death Denied, figuring out which ones actually earn a spot on the blog. It’s the quiet research phase that people rarely see, but it’s what keeps the quality up. I'm currently mapping out the best way to cover these new projects and getting the prep work ready for the next wave of reviews. Keeping the three-day streak alive while the next batch of content is in the oven.

Dandy's World: A Puppy's Perspective
Dandy's World is a popular Roblox game and fandom. This post discusses the benefits of it from someone in a specific headspace. Identity and Immersion "There are many cool characters to get and play as, a few with dog characteristics, too." For a pup, the avatar isn't just a skin but an extension of the headspace. Having "dog characteristics" available allows for a seamless transition into the dynamic. Cognitive Ease "It's easy to pick up so puppy doesn't have to think too hard." Sometimes, you don't want a 40-page manual; you want a Flow State. Low-cognition gaming allows the analytical brain to rest while the "puppy" instincts take over. Versatility "You can play multiple different roles, so puppy doesn't get bored from repetition." Even a focused pup needs variety. By offering multiple roles, the game functions like a multi-level training course. Community "The community has many like-minded people and ot...

Claire's First Minecraft Post.
People have been making storage systems for years. But there is only really one used. Why is that? It just works. The one I am going to show you is simple enough to make the only limiting factor iron. At this point in Minecraft who are we kidding, you have an iron farm already. If you do not you will soon. Follow this simple tutorial and you can have an infinitely expandable system. Step one is simple enough: find the space for it. For this I'm going to show it all in a super flat world to make it easier for you to follow. Step two: The first layers are just chests and hoppers. I am making this one five chests high but you could make yours as little as one chest or go all the way to world height! There are two ways to place the chest or chests, way one is with all the hoppers in the back, this is ok but once the bottom chest is empty its empty till more items are added. The second way is alternating the chests and hoppers. This is better because items will always flow down ...
CreatorCrate!
Hello everyone, I hope you are enjoying your day! Today I have a promising game to showcase to all of you. This game is in a early development stage so be warned that it will naturally contain bugs and glitches until the final release which is confirmed to be sometime in 2020 (which is relatively near). The developer gave me a key for the closed pre-alpha of the game, which I am beyond grateful for. Unfortunately, the game is not in a stage where it is ready to release, but you can always put the game on your steam wishlist, follow the developer on one of her many social media accounts or bookmark the webpage for the game! In addition to a game key for personal use, she also gave me plenty of press resources to share with all of you! So, without further delay, allow us to delve into the details of the game: Developer Provided Write-up on Her Game "CreatorCrate: Reproduce your way to freedom A 2.5D physics platformer on a procedurally generated space station". ...
