Putting Challenge 2 is (deep breath) a fan game based on the fake video game featured in an episode of The Simpsons. Remember? Bart received it as a gift instead of the ultraviolent Bonestorm. While another developer has recreated the game featured in The Simpsons, here’s Gumpy Function with a Game Boy ‘sequel’ containing very little actual golf content, instead exploring Lee Carvallo’s life after the release of his licensed game.

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.
