[p]Hello all Draggin' catchers![/p][p]In between working on the game we've been playing a bunch of demos from across Steam Next Fest. We believe it's important to support fellow game devs, so here are our favorite next fest demos we think you should try:[/p][p][/p][p]💎 Gemporium[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]This is the best cozy game we've played from the festival, hands down! Inspired by the Pokemon Underground minigame, you mine and sell gems to cute animal customers in order to grow a successful gem emporium. We could play the gem-refining minigame for hours on its own.[/p][p]Join the Discord![/p][p][/p][p]🐸 Big Hops[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]If you are a fan of 3D platformers this game is a must-try! It takes the best elements of Mario Odyssey and BOTW and glues them together in all the right ways. They're also running a kickstarter right now with some genuinely cool rewards![/p][p]Check the Kickstarter![/p][p][/p][p]🍫 Consume Me[/p][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]One of the most charming games we've played from the festival, Consume Me is a coming of age story that is part life sim, part wario-ware. Every minigame manages to balance being fun with being thematically appropriate, which is no small feat. If you're looking for a quick pick-me-up, this is a great game to try![/p][p]Follow on Bluesky![/p][p][/p]
