A Look at Every Day of the Devs Summer Game Fest 2023 Title
Day of the Devs arrived once more during Summer Game Fest, allowing Double Fine and iam8bit to once against deliver us a curated showcase on some of the indie gaming scene’s most promising upcoming titles. And with a lineup this year that felt particularly impressive in various ways, we wanted to try something a bit new here, so both Kyle LeClair and Jordan Helm decided to have a discussion about all the games shown there, making sure everything gets highlighted at least a bit. Enjoy!
Check them out!
Kyle: Let's start with Beastie Ball, which was the perfect choice for the lead given that it comes from Wishes Unlimited, still fresh off th
Henry Halfhead, bastard extraordinaire! I was inspired by those hazbin instagram accounts and decided to try something kinda lens-blur like! Think it worked out well.

Henry Halfhead!
An object-head type Villain, he’s got money to swim in, basically. He often swaps out his head-piece, but it’s always sliced neatly in half. He’s tied in with all kinds of shady operations, and you’re pretty sure he’s killed people.
Like, 98% positive he has, and nobody dares do a thing!
He’s a condescending bastard, and doesn’t really care whose feelings he hurts. He likes scaring the newbies, especially to try to root out Trendy-V’s. That’s people who want to be Villains but probably don’t have what it takes.
There’s no rules against Trendy-V’s, but, it’s fun to scare the shit out of them!

IS ANYONE LISTENING?
Henry continues to show off his weird collection of sagittal cut golden skulls. I stole Alastor and Pentious’ shoulders because that shape really works just perfect for him, im sorry.

Still no working computer, so still no end of year post for last year, and still feeling sick after however many months it's been, so I'm still actually caught up on posts because I haven't played a whole lot to have any sort of opinion on. It doesn't help that in addition to my computer not working my Steam Deck doesn't reliably charge anymore, so instead of going through the pile of super cheap random indie stuff I got in the last Steam sale I'm stuck with just my Switch for the most part.
I did do more postgame stuff in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, so that's up to 99.42% completion or something (mostly I still don't feel like dealing with Telethia yet), which is still great even if it's definitely still my least favorite Xenoblade game. I forgot how good some of the music is too.
I've also been replaying Fire Emblem Engage because it's been a couple years since I was saying I would at some point. I still think it's easily the most fun Fire Emblem game they've ever made, and the haters are just allergic to colors and having fun. It took me a little while to get back into it because the start is a bit slow, but once more of the interesting mechanics unlocked and I'd gotten some supports I hadn't seen before I remembered why I like it so much and have been having a great time. I really, really hope they took some lessons from its gameplay and how it handled the avatar character for Fortune's Weave instead of sticking too closely to how Three Houses did things, because while I liked plenty of other things about FE3H, I don't think those were its strong points.
And I did just finish one actual game I hadn't already played before, which I haven't done in weeks. Henry Halfhead is pretty alright, actually. Not amazing or anything, but I enjoyed it enough. There were some bits in the middle that dragged a little after the novelty had started to wear off but before the story started to pick up again, but by the end it had mostly won me over again, especially the very final scene. I was wondering if they'd let me do the thing because it would be funny but assumed they wouldn't, but then they did, and in a much more touching than funny way too.
It definitely would've been nice at times if I could've moved significantly faster as certain kinds of objects, and the story is a little obvious and kinda generic, but it's still cute and does its job moving things forward. Also interesting that almost every person mentioned at any point in it is they/them, with I think a single he/him character in a book as the one exception. I almost forgot gendered pronouns existed by that point. Anyway, it's solidly good but not quite great, and it felt worthwhile getting it on sale and spending a couple hours with it.
This year is not off to a great start after the past two. I'm currently managing one game every six days, when the two previous ones somehow were both one every two days. I know I said I was hoping to not keep up that pace anymore, but I meant that I wanted to be busy doing other stuff for a change, not being sick and doing nothing instead. Oh well.
