    Thanks for sharing all of these. I generally am pretty good at trying to keep up with releases as well as find stuff that flies below the radar, specifically the weird, obscure, and unique indies. But Steam’s algorithm can sometimes skew one way and I wasn’t aware of Mohrta, Hark, Skogdal, or Straftat at all.

    Glad you played my game Dead Wells. I was worried if people would like it or not. Most people seem to enjoy even with its issues. My Internet is out (using phone data) due to the hurricanes so I'm not able to update the demo atm. Yes I'm horrible at spelling lmao I will go over it all before release. Also horses wont be needed to complete the game but they may receive a update for turning other than that their gonna stay goofy little guys.

    • @yesmantron

      i absolutely love the game. ended up going back to it after finishing up this video and I keep finding new great stuff. damn I'm sorry to hear that about the hurricanes, hope all is well! i hope I didn't come across as too harsh on the typos, it doesn't matter that much lol. glad to hear the horses will stay goofy. I'm sure it's hard to balance something like that, but I honestly really like how they are. once you get the hang of them they're totally fine! they definitely add to the game's charm.

    You got yourself a new subscription, amazing editing and commentary, you can feel the passion for gaming in what you say. Dead Wells looks so good and the enemy doing cool fatalities is such an amazing idea I'm sure we'll see more of it in the future when more people start noticing the game.

    I played a demo of a FPS called Sulfur. I really, really wanted to like it. I mean I liked a lot about it but the enemy AI just killed it for me and I put it down. It's been out for a while but I downloaded the demo for ADACA and enjoyed it so much I bought the game (It's a FPS inspired by Half Life 2, STALKER and Halo). Dead Wells doesn't look Like its for me but Hark the Ghoul seems right up my alley. Edit : Of course you mentioned ADACA. I had no idea there's a new game. Will take anlook at the demo.

    I always liked SiN but I see why Half Life overshadowed it. Was so hyped to seeBlade in that Phantom Fury trailer, too bad that game was a mess. Also good job bringing up it's problems, a lot of younger kids these days seem to think broken, unoptimized or unfinished games are a new thing even though that has been an industry standard since the Atari 2700. Also back when SiN launched most people either didn't have internet or were only on 5k and a patch could take a very long time to download.

    Gunman Chronicles was awesome space western, great twist were the evil AI starts to respect and work with the main character. Yeah my favourites are definitely, Field Intensity which is opfor levels of quality even better and the length is plus, the maps are very well designed and a joy to just hang around, and Echoes is a masterpiece, like many Thief fan missions or doom maps, its pro level design. Its a golden age for fan made content. I hope Dark Matter is still a thing.

      It varies depending on the mod, but I actually included a link at the bottom of this video's description with links to each mod where it says "Credits and links". For the most part, you'll extract the mod files into the Half-Life folder, restart Steam, and it should show up under your "Non-Steam Games" list.
