Hey guys!

Like I promised (more like, made a commitment to myself), I'm writing a journal update every 1st in a month. Since it was fairly recently, I didn’t do much art-wise (or nothing at all), but still, here are obligatory shortcuts:

Hope you liked what I've put so far. Have some cool stuff planned for the future, hopefully I'll manage to do it. Next weekend is gonna be a bit nuts for me, as I have a wedding to attend on Saturday and I'm traveling on Sunday, BUT I will manage to upload something. Might not be much, but it'll be there.

Since I didn’t do much to fill this update with, I thought about writing about some games I've played recently. My ramblings might stick in the future, might not.

First and foremost, I was playing a 3D puzzler made by Croteam (yay Croatia) called The Talos Principle. This games is so pretty, so awesome, makes you think and rethink your life, how fragile and unique you are. You start off not knowing who or what you are, where are you and what's that strange voice speaking to you from the sky or wherever it is. All you're told to do is collect this strange colored Tetris pieces (a.k.a. Sigils) and you'll be greatly rewarded, as long as you don’t break the rules.

All in all, after playing the whole game and trying all three possible endings, I would recommend this game to anyone who likes a good puzzler with quite the interesting story. Many people (me included) get reminded of the Portal series when they see this game, which in my opinion is probably one of the best games I've ever played, but after playing Talos, I'd say they are quite close on my list inside of this genre. If you're anything like me, you're gonna go for collecting all the little pieces of information you can get (and there is a lot to gather) and collecting and seeing all the easter eggs this game has to offer (and there is A LOT).

Next I've played is This War of Mine which is a survival platformer where you control this little group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city. You're spending days in an abandoned house which you claimed as your current house and nights sending someone to scavenge in nearby buildings, whether they're other abandoned or populated houses, schools, churches, etc. I'm currently at day 10 I think (haven't open the game in some time) and I'm quite pleased with how its going. The game mood is unsurprisingly quite depressing, but I still like it, I like the way it shows how civilians had to cope with war.

Last but not least, I've been playing this game made in RPG maker called Sweet Lily Dreams. It’s about a girl called Lily (oh, surprise) and her adventures in the Dream World. Quite a simple game, yet so enjoyable, except maybe for some combat encounters which can sometimes get too long. The story is very interesting and honestly, I was surprised to see so much depth in it. I'm currently at the last boss fight and it's quite tough, honestly dunno how I'm gonna handle it, I feel like I may be a bit unprepared – we'll see.

Anyway, that's it for now, thanks for reading if you made it this far. xD

See you around!
