August was fun. Only played A Way Out, In Stars and Time, and The Pathless. However, I did go to Gamescom with 4 of my friends! I went as Kelsier from Mistborn (we'll get a Mistborn game someday), and managed to play 4/8 games that were already on my wishlist before the event.

Alabaster Dawn looks and plays amazing. Got to talk to one of the concept artists about how they do the insane animations without needing a trillion sprite variations. That game will be one of the greatest ever made when it's finally done, mark my words.

Unbeatable was really fun. I'm not a big rhythm gamer, and the controls took a little bit to get used to, but this is the one demo I've not been able to put down since Haste.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree felt pretty good to play, but man, the repetitive voice lines were a bit obnoxious. The Lonesome Guild seemed like it could be fun, but I didn't feel like I had enough time with it to really be able to judge it.

I didn't get to play Silksong, Star Birds, Bakudo, or Realm of Ink, but most of those are out very soon anyway. I played a bunch of other games, particularly indies. Of course my wishlist grew ~50%. Overall it was exhausting, both physically and mentally, but also really fun with friends!
