A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Beyond my own game, most of my pc playtime so far this year is on games like Rimworld, 7 Days to Die, Oxygen not included, Ark, and Men of War assault squad. I spent a couple weeks in Palworld. I also am playing Pokemon Black on an emulator on my phone.

What's your game?

Wartop, we just released it a couple weeks ago. Its' a virtual tabletop made specifically for tabletop skirmish and war games. We're not a sandbox though, we've got official partnerships with quite a few companies to make official versions of their tabletop games.

Sounds awesome! Hope your release went well and that people play your game! :)

Well we're a small indie studio, so it's existed. We're waiting for promotional rounds from the companies we've partnered with. The main thing is everything works. While we released through Steam this will be cross-platform. Epic games some time in the future and if things go well maybe a console or tablet launch. So we have all game system purchases set up through our website and they're account based, rather than platform based. Buy it now while playing on Steam and if you get the tablet version later you can use all the same stuff.

It was good to have a small launch because we got to test that and makes sure that all the systems worked, which they did.

Just out of curiosity, what emulator are you using, where'd you get the game, and cN I do it on android?

I'm kinda dumb and want to play pokemon.
