Hey there! Welcome to the GMTK Digest for July 2024.

This one might be a little... light. And that's for two reasons. One is that I've been working almost non stop on getting Mind Over Magnet finished, leaving little time for other games. And two is that it's the summer! It's the dry season for games!

Still, I've dug up some new releases, some headlines, and some must-watch videos. So get out the hammock and enjoy.

New Releases

Zenless Zone Zero

A new free-to-play game from the Genshin Impact people. So expect stylish anime combat, and a whole of stuff to collect (or buy). PC Gamer calls it "a shallow, polished front for a relentless online store."

Anger Foot

Devolver's latest output has been described as Hotline Miami in first-person: a messy, bloody, comedic game about kicking down doors and blasting fools. Game Informer says "Thwarting foes milliseconds before they pull the trigger, either by brute force or cleverly utilising my surroundings, never ceased to feel cool".

Flock

A chill co-op game about the joy of flight - perhaps closer to a demo scene tech showcase than an actual game. But supposed to be super cozy and delightful.
