Narmaya was invited to playtest ACE Strategy during Gamescon Asia. It is an upcoming sci-fi TCG with high-quality 3D mecha models. She was just notified by the developers earlier today that the server is finally up and will be available for 3 weeks.

Although Narmaya hasn't had time to try it out herself yet, she'd like to share the opportunity with her interested group members. This is a small-scale closed beta test, and all progress will be wiped at the end. If selected, a Steam key will be distributed via email in the coming weeks.

Narmaya is sad to say that in recent news, Insomniac confirmed no additional story DLCs will be released for Marvel's Spider-Man 2. Nonetheless, except for a few unresolved plot holes she expects will be addressed in the next installment, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is still a very solid game. Narmaya will certainly replay it upon its Steam release this January.

Although there's still little info on the gameplay, Narmaya being a huge fan of Fairy Tail, is thrilled to know more of Hiro Mashima's works are coming to Steam. Currently developed by KONAMI, the store tags suggest the possibility of a 3D Open-World Action JRPG with real-time combat. Slated to release in 2025 with no fixed date yet.

Last but by no means least, is Threads of Time. Narmaya has been aware of this title since early 2022. Back when she was still pursuing game development, Riyo Games was one of the few companies she really wanted to join. The pixel art animations were amazing and the few previews they posted were more than enough for her to be excited. No release date announced yet, but this is definitely one of the rare releases Narmaya will consider getting on day one!

Narmaya was invited to Gamescon Singapore with two VIP tickets! As a partner, she has free entry and 20% off Gamescon Asia merch, but more importantly, she was excited to explore the various preview game booths. Narmaya was more interested in the smaller indie previews than the bigger AAA showcases, and two that she tried, in particular, had really caught her attention.

The first was Spirit Mancer. It's a nice blend of platformer hack and slash, deckbuilding, and creature collecting, with inspiration from Metal Slug, Pokemon, and more. The developers are based in Thailand and were very excited to share about their game. Narmaya found their passion and awkwardness to be very charming. They even gave some stickers and mini-gifts for her visit!

The second was Nientum - Op.ZERO. Narmaya is familiar with the developers from their previous game KALPA. They are passionate about creating anime rhythm games and are based in Korea. Nientum is an adorable rhythm runner x platformer and Narmaya can see references from indie hits like Hextech Mayhem. She was told the full release is expected to be April next year, and she simply can't wait!

Narmaya didn't spend too much time at Gamescon, but has met many new friends. Some cosplay, and some are still students. Some work hard to be a solo dev, and some work hard to be successful artists. Whatever wonderful dreams they have, Narmaya is here to give her support and wishes them only the best in their pursuits!

24 hours a day just isn't enough to clear Narmaya's backlog! More games are added every other day and she wonders if she'll ever be able to finish them all. Narmaya has been actively reviewing games on her curator, those interested can follow her journey here!
