I never had the chance to really get into building games such as Minecraft which is surprising because games that get the creative juices flowing have always piqued my interest. Due to the overwhelming number of children that flock to these communities, I will admit it also has scared me

A well-traveled looking woman stands in front of a mountain. The dusty plains whip sand around, blinding her vision. Still, she continues forward with her robotic sidekick following eagerly behind. After a brief climb, she exclaims: “We’ve made it”. The camera pans out to reveal a hut and a path

Quirky games. Yeah, I have time for them. Its hard to reinvent the wheel and indie companies try all sorts of ideas to make their game stand out. Now this had me curious… what possibly could be the connection between a bartending simulator and a cyberpunk dystopia? Released initially back
