#NuNews: Stop Following Me Around, You Weirdo

How would you smuggle beer into a cricket game? 

Do you go the dig a hole and bury it, or wearing a high-vis and clipboard route? 

 

We have a brand-new website, which we're super proud of. You should totally check it out! And the April Achievement Challenge is coming up too... So many new and exciting things, we can hardly stay on topic. Now on with the news! 

 

We go through all the indie games announced at GDC including a fantastic wrestling game, which looks right up our alley. Party, turn based RPG where you fight the greats - Stone Cold the Giant, Andre the Steve, and even Hogan's Hulk! So many wrestling names and people who look vaguely familiar. And Floppy Knights - which contains a sentence we never thought we'd ever say out loud in public... 

 

An amazing Unity demo came out that blew us away in terms of graphics and gets us talking about the uncanny valley. How real can games really get? And do we want them to be that real?  The fluffy Xbox controllers cause another existential crisis for Lee. Kyle loves them, but Lee just can't. Where do you sit? And speaking of controllers, there's some nice new ones from 8BitDo. All very pastel and calming. 

 

There's a bunch of new games that you should be excited about! We would list them, but then you wouldn't need to listen to the podcast... 

 

Come join our Discord and hang out with the best community in the world!
