December 1st 2024

A very short update week since I’m the middle of a bunch of holidays back-to-back. But I’ll bring what interesting topics I can. Starting off with some information regarding the famous (notorious?) ONE Store being opened in Singapore. The ONE platform has a lot of stuff that’s too spicy for Apple or Google and would never launch there. Since English is one of the main languages of Singapore, everything launched on the platform will cater around that; specifically implying a global “friendly” platform. If more Korean developers pick up on releasing their games already on the KR ONE Store to Singapore, it will mean a lot of prohibited content in the past might get new life with a wide-reaching global audience. We’ll see how this all turns out over time.

I do not know who this content creator is. I do however appreciate the honesty. It very much reminds me of what my wife tried to do back in 2017 and the whole inception of this website. Everything in the room at the time is spot on relatively speaking, except the cigarettes. YouTube channel @beamoriyurumo if you want more.

ATLYSS is a game I mentioned a few weeks ago as worth looking into. It now has an official Steam release and has done pretty well for itself all things considered. It got a little “love tap” from going semi-viral for being an unapologetically slider friendly game in face of recent AAA slop. Sometimes lightning in a bottle happens, and I’m happy for the devs. I’ve put about 20ish hours in the game and have seen everything developed up to this point. It’s really early access right now, so have that expectation of content in check.
