Sometimes it's easy to forget just how popular some Steam games are. Concurrent players don't paint the whole picture, and user reviews are often a small portion of the full playerbase. Brotato is one of these games. With almost 80,000 Steam reviews sitting at 97% positive, it's a blend of Vampire Survivors' chaos and The Binding of Isaac's artstyle. Not only that, but it's also just had a huge new DLC and free co-op update. Oh, and you can grab the full thing for $6 right now.

• Created a "Brotatools" plugin that appears on the bottom dock in the Godot Editor. It helps simplify the creation process by generating most of the resource files for new content and linking them together. It also imports, resize and link sprites automatically from a folder following the structure and naming conventions of the presskit.
