- Five new Steam games you probably missed this week (August 19, 2018) - 20 August 2018
On an average day, about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that's a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done.  Flotilla 2 Steam page Released: August 17 Developer: Blendo Games Price: $10 Blendo Games is responsible for Gravity Bone, Atom Zombie Smasher, 30 Flights of Loving and a variety of other indie games. Among the ones you might not have heard of is Flotilla, a 2010 game of spaceship battles in 3D. Now there's Flotilla 2, which takes that same concept and puts it in VR. (I love the bit in the trailer showing how goofy you'll look in those goggles). A game that embraces the fact there's no "up" in space seems like it&a…

- 7 Reasons to Play Dad Quest #6 - Enemies! - 16 June 2018
Welcome to part 6 of our '7 Reasons to Play Dad Quest' feature! Today we're looking at the many enemies of Dad Quest! We're so very close to Father's Day now, but you can get ahead of the fatherly game right now - Dad Quest is currently 60% off, it's largest discount on Steam to date. https://store.steampowered.com/app/524250/Dad_Quest/ https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F26236864%2F9131cdd54553c40738aacc1d7b548e5fabb45678.gif Blog by Sundae Month's Eric Winebrenner Prelude Designing enemies in Dad Quest has always been a challenge. By throwing their child, a player can attack from an infinite number of angles, and a versatile toolbox of toys and charge abilities just adds to their combat options. There is an inherent push-pull dynamic involved in moving the Dad and Child together as a unit - the Dad must avoid being damaged by enemy attacks while the Child…
- Dad Quest Now at 60% off! | 7 Reasons to Play Dad Quest #5 - Comedy! - 15 June 2018
Welcome to the 5th post in our '7 Reasons to Play Dad Quest' blog series. This time, we're taking a deep dive into how Dad Quest came to be so funny. Read on to hear directly from the developer! Don't forget that, for Father's Day, Dad Quest is currently seeing a 60% discount! This is the lowest price that the game has ever been available at on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/524250/Dad_Quest/ https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F26236864%2F1313054904d943f96d206df3e8fa6f047a7344fe.gif Blog by Sundae Month's Ryan Huggins Summary: As a whole, Dad Quest was always designed to be funny (at least to some degree), but our aim with each joke was never to KO you with humor. We wanted to establish a world where whimsical things exist and are just generally amusing and by doing so, allow for humor to feel organic rather than forced. Originally, we had designe…

- 7 Reasons to Play Dad Quest #3 - Cosmetic Customisation! - 13 June 2018
A fatherly hello to you all! This is a good time to remind you that over Father's Day weekend, Dad Quest will be seeing a massive 60% discount, marking it as the lowest ever price Dad Quest has seen on Steam. In today's '7 Reasons to Play Dad Quest' post we wanted to share details about the new customisation options which launched in Chapter 2 of Dad Quest. The Dad obviously is capable of sporting a cap and beige shorts, but the Child is a butterfly of fashion! Starting out with the standard shorts and shirt, the Child will be able to wear an assortment of funky threads! However, these clothes will be cosmetic and offer no stat boosts or debuffs. https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F26236864%2F1313054904d943f96d206df3e8fa6f047a7344fe.gif Some Child clothing can only be unlocked by undertaking side-quests, so keep an eye out for new opportunities to accessoris…

Sometimes you need to take a break from the stress of it all and sidestep away from it all. Well let me tell you daddio, you just sidestepped into a world of oppo…

If you are playing Chapter 2 now, do let us know what you think about the dificulty, is it too hard, did you get stuck, is there anything else that you can think we can do to improve? We struggle…
