Postcards from FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE.

They Seemed In A Hurry And I Had Ladybirds To Attend To

Last month’s Now Playing saw Chris Thursten exploring low-stakes PUBg matches. The idea was to stack the odds so heavily against yourself that losing was almost certain and you could enjoy getting as far as you could. I have decided to embrace a similar philosophy in Fortnite to allow myself to experiment with faux long-exposure screenshots.

As with real-life photography, you either need very understanding friends to come on the trip with you, or you must embrace total solitude. Just as it is not okay to assume your IRL walking companion wants to spend three hours standing near a cluster of damselflies, it is also not okay to assume three strangers will delight in having a teammate who is only there to stand perfectly still near a weeping willow for 30 seconds.

Special Report- Stacked Deck - Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big.

Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big. Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
