This game looks seriously cool. The camera at the end is quite a wtf moment for me.

Oh shit. I'm guessing it's reading the depth buffer (and maybe some other things) and pasting that into the existing geometry (which might be why the picture is monochrome). That's a pretty neat-o trick.

Looks like Metal Slug Tactics will be released sometime in the fall. Looking forward to it!

I want to believe this is going to be great.
Have you tried Unicorn Overlord yet?

I'm aware of it and I've seen a few gameplay videos. But for some reason it's not grabbing my interest. I'll probably check it out at some point regardless.

I'm a big fan of Kurzgesagt (it's a science education channel). The way they convey information and breakdown topics is truly impressive. But for me the most distinctive thing about the channel is its vector-art based visuals and animations. I've often found myself wondering what a game using their art style would play like...

Now I no longer need to imagine it! Kurzgesagt has a game in the works - Star Birds!

So UO is very much Ogre Battle on mega steroids, with a large overworld to explore. If you don't like the core gameplay loop from Ogre Battle, this is not likely to tickle your fancy. Star Birds has a nice art style; crisp, deliciously flat and 3D at the same time. Makes me want another Mario Galaxy game...

Also, a new Metal Slug Tactics video with a bunch of actual gameplay was released.

edit: Gothic remake trailer. No godly idea why the trailer is age restricted.
