Kennt jemand von euch noch die #wasd? Das Magazin für #Videospiele-Kultur? Der Nachfolger von #wasted?
Ich hab hier die ersten 17 Ausgaben in zwei Schubern. Jeweils einmal gelesen. Inklusive der Lesezeichen, die es immer dazu gab.
Mag die jemand haben?

Thank you @WASDlive_ that was the best! Had an amazing time meeting so many awesome gamers and game devs! Thank you and can’t wait for next year, now to sleep!!

And that's a wrap! I've got Electron Dance posts on #wasd going out for the next couple of days but I'll be focusing on my Thinky Games video for the next week.

Harvest Hunt #wasd. I played this for about two minutes before security told me to get the hell out of the building, they're closing the doors.

Something to do with finding flowers at night whilst being hunted by a creature?

Sky of Tides #wasd. Narrative game with RPG aspects - felt more like a dystopian YA visual novel with some item hunting (locations have an explicit item count). Conversation would boost stats depending on choices. Stats would unlock items. Voice acting and writing was fine. Didn't grab me, though.

Set Sail #wasd. Pirate themed couch co-op. Starts off with a mad dash out of jail involving throwing everyone physically, then jumping into cannons and swordspamming. Later, you're cleaning dirty ships. A lot of different minigames - devs say better with 4 players but can even played solo.

Pepper Grinder #wasd. Like a 16-bit era platformer but with interesting drilling mechanic. A lot of this is about momentum and drilling through material to give you a boost to reach greater heights. Got tricky but practice will make perfect. I warmed to this. Collect crystals for twinkle noises.

Tiny Terry's Turbo Trip #wasd. Quirky open-world game. I thought I was going to hate this but won me over with it's weird humour and go wherever aesthetic. Started out with a taxi ended up with... well, a taxi and a shovel. I didn't achieve anything, I just wandered.

The Deadly Path #wasd. Interesting spin on the Cultist Sim structure. You're effectively building out a map and cards/ regions can be exhausted, so there's a constant forward momentum. Later there are raids to take care of. Only meant to dabble but played an entire game.

Final day at @WASDlive_ come and check out Sleepytime Village, a creepy point and click adventure! And if you like what you see please back our #Kickstarter !

Bootleg Steamer #wasd. Trade legal or illegal goods but keep clear of the coastguard in this 20s prohibition era game. Upgrade ship, hire crew, make a deal with them mafia. Reminded me of the ten minutes I played of Sunless Sea. Some UI teething issues but then happily spent 20 minutes with it.

Taketh Giveth #wasd. UKIE Student Game Jam winner. Clever game - symbol at bottom tells you direction of next thrust and you have about a second to reorient vessel. Pick up fuel to stay alive, give it away for points. Everything goes well for awhile and then your head checks out and it's a disaster.

CorpoNation: The Sorting Process #wasd. Feels Papers Please-esque but the "core" gameplay loop is simple, repetitive and short. All the ancillary stuff about life under the cosh of an all powerful company is the meat. However story a bit obvious in some ways and found it difficult to sustain my attention.

Elsie #wasd. Roguelite shmup platformer. Vibrant colours, walljumping, nostalgic. I had fun although nothing stuck in my mind about the game. Then again, I don't play these games that much these days.

Sol Cesto #wasd. Oh this was brilliant. Roguelike where you choose a row in a dungeon and one of four rooms is picked at random. If you have lower strength/magic on a combat, you lose health. You have to survive several moves to advance to the next stage.

Easy to pick up, visually compelling.

Kreigsfront Tactics #wasd. Turn based tactics game a la Into the Breach. Mechas facing off in 70s "southeast Asia". I was losing the demo battle. Mechas don't have universal hp they have hp on body parts, so a lot more to think about. Is it complexity for complexity's sake? Don't know I was losing

Zephon #wasd. Turn based 4X post-apoc. Always a difficult sell at expos as everybody wants to sell their lore and unique lore words which means the learning curve can be high. Here apparently you can negotiate with other factions and bring them over to your side.
