No One Gives A Shit That You're A Jesus Freak

It occurred to me that the through line of presenting your demographic as victims as a culture war tactic traces back very clearly to the Religious Right of the Nineties and their drive to be persecuted.

Potion Permit review

So back in 2009 (which feels like a lifetime…), not content to simply surf the wave of living a carefree life of sponging off his 2 famous parents; Nick Simmons decided to try his hand creating manga (well it was a comic, but just stay with me.) But here’s the thing, he can’t draw; so, what does he do? trace over an actual artist! He traced over a good number of various panels from the manga Bleach!

So why share this anecdote? Because the game I’m about to discuss feels eerily similar. The game in question is called Potion Permit which is brought to us by Masshive Media.

Who is MassHive Media? Established in early 2014, MassHive Media is a growing indie game developer resides in Bandung, Indonesia. We are small yet independent company striving our best to deliver the best quality game products for various platform. With an amazing team with deep passion towards games, illustrations, animations, we aim to be to be one of the leading game developers in Southeast Asia.

They are responsible for indie games like Vimala: Defense Warlords, Chillout Zombies, Azure Saga: Pathfinder and this title. Each one more derivative than the next, but does this game follow the tradition of this relatively young company? Yes, but let’s discuss this case of homework copying.

In Potion Permit, Moonbury's residents need healing, and you're the best chemist around! With your trusty tools, a brewing cauldron, and a canine companion at your side, you'll need to diagnose symptoms, gather ingredients, brew potions, and cure ailments in this open-ended sim RPG.

I’ll get the praise out of the way, the music and visuals are pretty but feel like something out of RPG maker and wouldn’t be surprised if they took assets from it, given their pedigree.

Combat is meh, enemies are damage sponges which is a cardinal sin for me. While the controls work, nothing about them felt intuitive.

The story is very much the same game that you’ve played before, and it’s been told by much better games.

The puzzles while interesting pose next to no challenge which I found almost insulting.

I really wanted to like this game way more, and there is so much potential that completely goes to waste.

The potion mechanic, (you know the titular aspect) was so dull and forgettable and that was the thing about this game that initially drew me in.

But if you like isometric open world farming RPG hybrids for the switch, Go play Rune Factory 4 or wait for the remaster of RF3.

I give Potion Permit a 2 out of 5.

I really do need to clear Golf Story from my To Be Played list.

Anyway, that was a nice showcase! I like seeing titles I haven’t heard of at all come up.

Animal Well, World Of Goo 2, And Nintendo's Indie Partners At GDC 2024

Come and meet Poochy, whose smooth brain doesn't have the capacity to marvel at the stellar game he's in.

After sampling a delicious spread of Xbox-partnered indie games — including my game of the show — Nintendo’s hands-on event had a lot to live up to. But the showcase was packed with must-play games. It had everything from long-time favorites like Little Kitty, Big City to fresh gameplay experiences with World of Goo 2. Here are the highlights: Animal Well The last time I played this, I was…

Match Village Review (Nintendo Swithch OLED)

Match Village Review, is a minimalist puzzle and strategy experience about matching buildings to build villages on colorful islands. Match buildings to create your villages and cities on endless islands worldwide and enjoy the minimalistic and relaxing atmosphere, no resource management or armies, focus only on the building.

Match Village Review Pros:

- Nice graphics. - 232MB download size. - Puzzle gameplay. - Isometric view. - You can move the camera around and zoom in and out. - Win or lose the game will just roll into another map. - Each map is random. - Different biomes from forests to beaches and snow. - The gameplay is a case of putting 3 identical houses/amenities next to each other so they merge into a newly upgraded building. - When placing buildings etc you may get a positive or negative score number shown before placing. - Simple to learn. - A very good time waster and brain workout. - Touchscreen controls. - When a merge happens you get a few turns as a reward. - Game over is when you run out of turns or space, whatever comes first. - You can undo your last go. - Every piece has a radar to show if it hits/connects with other buildings etc. - As you score points you fill up an icon in the corner. - Photo mode. - Online leaderboards. - A lot of replay value. - Ambient soundtrack. - Every placable piece can be rotated. - Learning how everything works and goes together is great and a real draw if you are into that. Match Village Review Cons: - No tutorial. - Cannot rebind controls. - Takes a little while to get used to what the game wants of you. - The game doesn't mix it up a lot. - No help or guidance as to how the scoring and mechanics work.

For some reason I can't seem to add video to reddit so I'm just going to post a few here, will link the full reddit post at the end but for context there's a bug in the switch version of backpack hero that Im currently exploring.

TLDR: Bumping the bomb from the bag with a lootbox item causes basically everything to become unresponsive

Full post on the bug and various experiments
