Aside from word of mouth here.

Aware of Reddit's r/incrementalgames, https://galaxy.click, and whatever database was linked on the Reddit sidebar. I did hear about the 2024 game jam.

Federation is lagging behind, and I don't want to wait several days for the server to figure out we have a new weekly post, so I'll go ahead and just make it myself!

Let us know what you've been up to this week. Keep it casual, fun, and it's appreciated if you link to any games you mention. Thanks!

I found Our Ascent a few hours back and only stopped playing it recently. It's one of those games where you're under a time limit and you're supposed to accomplish as much as you can, and it relies primarily on RPG mechanics. I like it, although I have some minor nitpicks:

1. It's a bit difficult to tell when adjacent areas can't be crossed (water-to-land and vice versa). I got used to it though.
2. Restarting a run takes slightly more time navigating the UI than is comfortable.
3. The backgrounds in the game are AI-generated. I don't feel too strongly on this one because the dev said they'd replace the art once they got funds to hire artists.
4. You can play as multiple characters, each with their own campaign that provides global boosts to all characters. But the boosts are so minor that I'm not really motivated to play them.
5. You need to do some calculations in order to find out the effective power of percentage-based statistics. Maybe this is intentional, I dunno.

Again, these are minor nitpicks. I really really like the game. I'm not sure why I'm posting some of these nitpicks here, the dev hasn't even heard of this place.

The title explains most of what's going on.
Here's some additional relevant info that can also be found in the link:

• Submissions will be accepted until 2024-07-20 17:00:00 UTC.
• This jam's theme is "Evasion". What that means is up for interpretation.

If you were planning on submitting an entry, this is a reminder in case you forgot about the jam (although it's a day late). And for the rest of us players, stay tuned for submissions!

What games have been scratching your itch this week? What's been great, what's been ordinary, what's been forgettable?

The bot's having a day off after our elections in the UK (it's always a late night waiting for results to trickle in) but it'll be back after it's had a good rest and a talk with itself about responsibilities.

Links welcome, and hope you had a lovely week :)

If any lemmings play this game and want to help out in coops, I'll be creating them throughout the day today as public coops, and probably as they come out later on as private ones if enough people join.

A strange downloadable short game I found on itch.io whose first part is an incremental.

It's simple mechanically, but it is in 3D and has sounds which makes it stand out. They really contribute to the experience, and the nearly numberless way of conveying information is really charming.

I have no idea if there's anything after the incremental though besides that part where cubes fall for eternity. It's a strange game, as I said earlier.

Unlocking better gear/powerups/abilities is the basis of games. Is this supposed to be a generic gaming sub?

PegIdle is a Pachinko idle game.

Look at this gif from the store page:

New release. I have been meaning to play the demo. One of the few astrology-related things that doesn't make me immediately run away. I am a huge fan of the bright saturated colors.

The jam starts at 19:00/7PM UTC+2 on July 6th. Then there's 2 weeks to submit, until July 20th, and finally there is a 2 week voting period until August 3rd, which is when the results will be made public.

Will be keeping an eye on this! I always wonder how people do this because I struggle to come up with ideas. Let me program all day, but tell me to generate ideas past a quick blurb and I short out.

PokeClicker is a very active game. I prefer idling. I unabashedly use scripts to change it to be more idle and I'm having a good time.
