Reviews

New Game! a show about making New Games with a fun cast of characters!

Take away the CGDCT tropes, and it’s a pretty good idea of what game development is from an artist’s perspective.

The full loading bar marks the start of many delights and cuteness. Like playing a great game, just simply have fun!
