It’s time for another Modest games Showcase, and this year the company is celebrating its three-year anniversary, as well as highlighting its newly revamped roster of publishers. This year we got a special behind-the-scenes interview with the cast of David Hyder’s music game Stray Gods, as well as six new indie games to look forward to. We’ve listed everything that was announced at the show, so feel free to take a leisurely scroll. Here’s everything you missed at Humble Games Showcase 2023.
Wizard Of Legend is getting a sequel
The action The roguelike released back in 2018 is getting a sequel aptly titled Wizards Of Legend 2. This sequel is being developed by Children Of Morta’s Dead Mage, but will be managed by the game’s original developers, Contingent99. Wizard Of Legend 2 looks the same as the first game – fast-paced combat with spells – but it also has 3D glow and now supports 4-player online co-op. pleasantly!
#BLUD is a new animated demon slaying dungeon crawler game
Not the biggest fan of the name but I love love love the 2D animation in #BLUD. The gorgeous visuals are no surprise when you know that the developers of Exit 73 are also an animation studio and #BLUD is their debut game. This is killing vampires RPG You play as Becky Brewster, a high school student who spends the day stressed out about homework, friends, and a night of demon slaying. Judging from the trailer, #BLUD looks full of humor and fun; which is worth keeping an eye on.
Breeze In The Clouds is a cute platformer where you play as a rambunctious corgi
The second game funded by the Black Game Developers Fund, Wind in the clouds is a fighting platformer where you play as an adorable corgi. Puppy Breeze discovers that they have new abilities that depend on the weather, and you will use these new abilities to fight pollution creatures that are suffocating the world with their poisons. I love the idea that the central theme of the word is weather oriented, and who can say no to wrangling like an adorable corgi? There is no release date for Breeze In The Clouds as it is still in the early stages of development.
A behind-the-scenes look at Stray Gods, out August 3
We already know that Stray Gods: Role Playing Musical airs on August 3rd, so this segment of the show was a little BTS look at Humble’s live show in Los Angeles, mixed with some interview bits from the cast. i feel like I am the conductor of the hype train of this game, and once we see everyone lending their voices to the chants of the Greek gods in the game, things will be in full swing.
Supraland: Six Inches Under is coming to consoles
The next game in the Supraland series, Supraland: Six inches smaller, now available on console. However, we PC users don’t really care because it has been released on PC since January 2022. This miniature sandbox is a metroidvania with puzzles to solve, areas to explore, and – in classic Supraland style – plenty of jokes and humor. If you like games that treat you like a toddler with a 2 second attention span, then the Supraland series is for you. Supraland: Six Inches Under is available to play right now on Steam.
Bō: Path Of The Teal Lotus is an action platformer inspired by Japanese folklore
The debut game from Squid Shock Studios, Bō: Path of the Turquoise Lotus looks gorgeous It’s an action platformer inspired by Japanese folklore, I mean we’ve seen so many games with the same inspiration, but after watching the trailer I really like what Bō is up to. It contains many different types of Japanese art, including woodblock prints, ink drawings, and origami. I really love a good game, so we’ll have to wait and see how Bō: Path Of The Teal Lotus turns out when it eventually comes out. However, there is no date on this front yet. Check out the game Steam page for more information.
Cataclismo is a darker new game from the developers of Moonlighter
From the creators of Moonlighter and The Mageseeker there is Cataclysm tower defense, real-time strategy, and it looks like Digital Sun is getting a little darker with this game. Humanity seems to be on its last legs as Cataclismo puts you in the role of warriors who have left The Last City on a mission to build new fortresses. Then you will have to protect your creations from hordes of evil scoundrels. I love the dark tone that Digital Sun has chosen for Cataclismo and I want to see more of this strange medieval world.
Lost Skies is a new open-world co-op with cool hooks
I love grabbers in games, that’s why Lost Heavens is already catching my eye with her work with hooky delight. This is an adventure game for 1-6 players with survival elements where you jump and soar through a world filled with floating islands. You can create your own kit and even build a skyship, which looks pretty cool from the look of the trailer. Another one with no release date, so better brush up on your grappling skills or get used to falling to your death.
