kayde blogs about whatever catches their attention. usually indie games, music, weird furry bullshit, stuff like that.
The year has reached its end, and with the Game Awards in the rear view mirror and Steam's "year in review" pages having circulated, I'm in a retrospective mood. Looking over the list of things that I played this year, I can't help but find myself agreeing with people like Jacob Geller in thinking about the quality of games that released. He, and I in turn, had thought that 2023 was a nearly…
Ok so it's no great secret that I've been riding the hype train for Beastieball ever since that initial reveal during the 2023 Day of the Devs stream. I was hooked from the get go - I already loved Chicory, and I love cute little critters and critter collecting games as should be evident. The only thing that I didn't immediately buy into was the sports angle, which quickly changed when I tried the…
Ahh, Steam Next Fest. A beautiful melting pot of incredible games and utter dumpster trash, mingling together for one glorious week. Where else might one find fascinating indie games with beautiful art styles and interesting premises lined up next to a game called "Exercise Simulator Vol.1 - Hustle and Exercise in a Cat-Type Rodeo Machine" where the description states that it's a simulation game…
Forewarning: this blog post discusses a few kinks and is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. Oops, I missed the one month anniversary of my blog. I blame the Steam Next Fest for that. Still, better late than never, yeah? I'll start by recapping the updates to the website itself since there aren't too many to note. Primarily, I redid the layout of my links page to add copy-paste fields for…
There comes a time in any gamer's life where they start to wonder to themselves: when *will* there be a game about buildings and other inanimate structures romancing each other? Why hasn't a game dedicated itself to talking about the birdhouses and the beehives yet? Are they ever going to make something that lets me pitch a tent with a tent? Where are all the games that will let me, an…
I don't really know very well how to go about this, but I just need to put my thoughts down. Cohost shuts down tomorrow. Everyone is sad about it. I spent like a week being utterly depressed about it. It's really, *really* hard to feel okay with what's happening. Still... I can't let it go without saying goodbye. If you're reading this, it's likely because you encountered me through Cohost - in…
I spent a whole day digging through the weeds on the truck simulator modding wiki and managed to get enough figured out to make a mod. Now you can bring eggbug with you on your trucking adventures across Europe and the States! Also, a brief look into the process of making the mods.
Tentatively starting off a little thread of blogs I'm calling “Demo Dives”, where I find a demo on Steam that catches my eye and try it out. For the first entry, I go into the demo for a game called Scrabdackle - a game about a student wizard trying to get back into the wizard academy after an evil wizard invaded and defenestrated them.
Finished setting up the blog space! Not much to say, just going over the basics of how it's laid out.
