In this game, the goal is to work with others to fully "develop" a massive, expansive planet by utilizing creativity and farmed resources.

As you progress across the planet, you'll discover new lands, enemies and resources that will become essential to your journey.

Throughout your journey, players will be granted special cowtools known as Beacons. The higher your Beacon is placed, the wider its Beacon Zone becomes. Within your Beacon Zone, your best work can be done.

Players will repeat the process until their current Planetary Block is considered fully developed.

The Dev Core is a separate place from the planet you'll be developing. Think of it as a social hub to gather with other players.

At the Dev Core, you can level up your character, get items you will need for your journey, commune with others, and more.

About a couple weeks ago Nintendo announced they were recruiting for a special, secret online test. No details were given at the time so this is our first look at what it will even be.

I was eligible but of course I forgot to actually apply on time. It looks kinda fun so I hope they eventually roll it out to a wider release.

Game to Discuss?

Townscaper - I have no idea how many people have heard of this one, but I think it's one of my favorite games ever made. Taking the term "city builder" as literally as possible, it is a game where you construct cities out of building blocks, which are generally colorful houses, though bridges, steps, and foundations are also possible. I find it to be a wonderful creative tool, though the palette is somewhat limited. Vote below in the pinned comment.

Copetext:

This game is faithful to its title, it is so Unknown, to the extent that not even the most rent-free G*merGater chuds and KotakuinAutism spergs have cared about it until just a few days ago, it does not even has a fricking Wikipedia page, and as of 19 October 2024, the only 4chan /v/ thread making fun of it that I was able to find was quickly deleted by the Jannisaries for some reason!

Bandai Namco's latest 'sweet baby' game, Unknown 9: Awakening, drops in 5 days and seems like another Concord flop.

There’s almost no online interaction, pre-orders are unclear, and the only Steam comment asks why they're making ugly women. Are you excited? 💀😆 pic.twitter.com/Ezk4E1RBb2

@MARFAN_EATS_DOODOO on this very website summarized it as:

The website is just a bunch of random stills with vague lines about the story and universe and then a section about the actress, whose most notable appearance is from that Witcher TV series. And she visibly looks better irl than in game for some reason.

Edit: Holy shit it has an audiobook, a comic, and 2 novels out already, one of them came out 4 years ago:

https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/unknown9/en/products/comics/torment/

https://www.bandainamcoent.com/games/unknown9/en/products/podcasts/out-of-sight/

And all of this was done as "worldbuilding" for this game. Which seems like it's going to flop hard without anybody knowing.

There's currently some sort of Star Citizen Con (yes, really) going on and they promised that the game will release in 2026. This time for sure!!! Sadly it crashed during the demo on stage - twice. There's a viral article about the game called 12 Years and $700 Million Later, What's Going on With Star Citizen's Development? with reddit reactions in this thread. Lots of coping and seething in all related subreddits brewing. The grift that keeps on giving!

Reactions

/r/LSF - Star Citizen demo crashes LIVE on stage during presentation

/r/StarCitizen

Ngl this SQ42 demo is the best thing I've seen in a citcon in a long while. Thoughts?

SQ42 confirmed at CITCON for a 2026 release!

Squadron42 in 2026!

tl;dr Fact: 90% of Star Citizen players stop donating before Star Citizen fully releases in a playable state with all its promised features.
