GMTK Digest (March 2025)

Hello GMTK supporters!

March was a busy month for me. I was either prepping for GDC, attending GDC, or recovering from the jetlag of GDC. But I found some time to play a few games and watch a lot of YouTube videos (I used that 10 hour flight well!)

As always I'll start with my takes on this month's new releases. Then there's the biggest news headlines you need to know. And finally, the best bit - a whole bunch of articles and videos that any GMTK fan should enjoy.

Also: a shout out to people who give me article and video ideas for the Digest. Really appreciate it. Speak soon!

New Releases

Two Point Museum

A few years back some ex Bullfrog developers made the Theme Hospital spiritual sequel Two Point Hospital. Since then we've also gotten Two Point Campus and, now, Museum. These are cute, charming, and reasonably laid back management games.

They're way more approachable than Frontier's games (Planet Coaster / Zoo) on account of having fewer moving parts, and a simpler grid-based layout.

In this new one you'll have to send archeologists off to remote locations to dig up dinosaur bones and the like, to expand the showcases in your museum. It adds a clever new twist as your crew can be injured while on exhibition.
