@Glassneedles MMOs in general might be something we tackle in time, but that's a very tall order to cover. I only play three on-and-off and I'm one full expansion behind on Final Fantasy XIV, almost three on Guild Wars 2 and who KNOWS how much more of Elder Scrolls Online I've got to dig into.
For the next roundup, I'm thinking something smaller. Literally. Like shmups.
@Glassneedles It was a combination of us doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work and doing less news than we'd normally be doing, combined with this week being ABSOLUTELY NUTS.
The roundups should get shorter once we're fully up to speed!
@Glassneedles Beyond Sunset's a good'un! It's just that there was only so much space here - this is a starter pack, not a definitive all-encompassing showcase of the genre.
@Penguinpengy Yeah, if this were dedicated piece on Doom there'd probably be more engines mentioned, but UZDoom is the swiss army knife. Compatible with everything but a handful of maps that rely on hyper-specific quirks of other map formats. And most people aren't going to want to deal with more than one engine replacement - convincing them to get that one is enough work!
@Penguinpengy Congrats on finding Steam Hype early! We've only had the doors open for a few days now - a 'soft launch' to build some runway and a head of steam (pun shockingly not intended) before our full unveiling.
Thanks for being the first reader to comment! Feel free to hang out here, tell your friends and get cozy. We've still got plenty coming before our official launch.

Re: STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT Turns Back the Clock on a Hugely Influential Time-Travel Story
@Glassneedles Oh, for sure - the high price tag is not surprising, but the lack of discount for owners of either earlier version stings.
But at least we know that it'll eventually go cheap. This publisher like their deep discounts on their back-catalogue.

Re: Steam Hype Weekly - Issue #3
@Glassneedles Such is the curse of being in my proximity. Just imagine how bad it is actually BEING me.
Re: Quake Adds One More Massive Free Expansion to Celebrate Turning 30
@Glassneedles Not available to BUY again, but there's PC ports of both Doom RPGs! And the Wolfenstein RPG, too.
Also Dungeons Of Dusk is coming out soon and is a tribute to those three! - https://store.steampowered.com/app/4176460/Dungeons_of_DUSK/
