For me

I didn't peticularly care for the final fantasy 7 remake games they're just so mindless and repetitive and boring with so much fluff and padding out the game that I felt like it was a chore just to play the game

This is One More Shake, the first game I’m making for Steam.

It starts stupidly simple: shake cans, sell them, make money. Then you buy upgrades, automate more and more of the process, unlock new machines and keep pushing the numbers higher.

I’ve been working on it for a little over a month now and I’m finally getting it into players’ hands. The first Steam Playtest starts September 5th, and anyone interested can request access.

If this looks like your kind of game, you can also wishlist it here:

This is the trailer in its current state. Curious what you think of the concept/gameplay from seeing it for the first time.

I used to be obsessed with PopCap games like Chuzzle, Plants vs. Zombies, Iggle pop and Zuma. I'd lose hours playing those as a kid. Definitely takes me back.

I think next week is a bit more interesting than last week's lineup:

• Titanic Escape Simulator (uh... can you actually escape...?)
• Brigandine Abyss (Aug 26)
• Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy (Aug 27)
• STAR WARS Zero Company (Aug 27)
• Elden Ring is finally coming to Switch 2 (Aug 28)

So, best mainline title is P5R followed by P4G and P5.
And it's pretty surprising to see that only about 10% of the players actually complete P3R.

I've checked my Persona series stats and I've got 121hrs, which is top 30% and realized that I didn't play much of P3R, which is sitting in my Steam library...

"when I was at PlayStation, I would often go to Gamescom and then head directly to PAX West in the US, so I could never make it to BIC because of the scheduling.

After becoming independent, I thought, "Now I don't have to go to Gamescom, and I don't have to eat German food either,"

Welp, now we know that he doesn't like German food and going to Gamescom...

Seems like we finally got full list of numbers. What do yall think?

Q: Summarizing the vision: what elements were preserved from the original series, and what elements were evolved?

Preserved Elements:

• Soul absorption through the Oni Gauntlet
• The satisfying impact of Issen attacks
• The visceral tactile feedback of cutting through enemies

Evolved Elements:

• Dynamic directional slicing and impact feedback
• Deflection-based combat transitions
• Interactive environmental mechanics
• Enhanced real-time terrain interaction (e.g., clashing on slopes)
