It's really sad to see games Like "Milo and the Magpies* to be made with loads of love and care and beautiful artwork/artists just to be left in the depths of steam to be forgotten and left to rot.

[@Readous]

It happens quite often, mainly due to marketing. Too many game devs release their game without any or not good enough marketing. You gotta build an audience as you're developing or get a publisher if you can't get attention by yourself. I agree, Milo and the Magpies was well made, cute and relaxing. Hope it got some attention after this video

[@lilly-annesenior5450]

@@Readous I found it on the play store so ima give it a go when I can

[@MSUTri]

@@Readous I do think that today low budget social marketing can be done though, especially for a game as good as Milo. A short trailer video (budget $500 max, could even be free with minimal video editing skills by the artist) posted to the publisher's social media pages would be a start, and the developer would reach out to a number of video reviewers and even just a select group of general gamers with free copies of the game for review (budget perhaps $100-$200), to drum up interest in the niche market for such games. Of course, that's certainly easier said than done. I imagine many reviewers are swamped with offers to review games. Probably the biggest problem is simply taking the time to reach out to enough potential reviewers to find a few who are willing to do it. It would certainly make sense for an up and coming developer to have a game reviewed by an up and coming KZbin channel though.

Wow, I played Milo and the magpies before watching this, because I discovered the studio (Rusty Lake) long time ago and played every single game by it ever since. And oh boy, you've just touched the tip of an iceberg, hence Milo and the magpies is just a little game made specifically for kids. This studio made 3 full-length quest games as well as more than a dozen of smaller games (like Milo and the magpies), highly inspired by Twin Peaks, with crimes, blood, surrealism, and a huge plot that every single game is connected too.

[@yellobb3848]

[@TreadTheDonutDuck]

Seeing Milo and the Magpie makes me think, “how many other beautiful video games have gone under the radar simply because no one ever noticed them?”

[@milokojjones]

I'm kinda gonna shamelessly put this here - If someone is looking for a great city builder game, I know about one which mostly gone under the radar in the city builder community - It's called Cliff Empire. It got picked by quite a lot of big youtubers near it's EA release - like around two weeks after - due to the lack of features at the time ( there was not much to make more videos about so ) the game was mostly forgotten soon after. To explain the basic premise of the game - the main gameplay loop revolves around building, expanding and micro managing cities on three cliffs ( and later two more locations ), which forces you to utilize the space you are given most effectively - that's something you can do through researching new technologies, unlocking new buildings, planning effectively the layout of your city, etc. There are also mechanics such as trading, day and night cycle, quests / natural dissasters and more. The game looks - in my oppinion - amazing, the soundtrack is also pretty good, it's running fine most of the time and it has also been translated to quite a lot of languages, which is always a plus. All in all, I think it's a pretty good game for it's price and impressive considering it was basically made by one man. I would recomend checking it on steam or youtube to anyone who is atleast a bit interrested in city building games, perhaps you may find it interresting.

Milo is the passion project of the background artist of the Rusty Lake studio Basically the artist wanted to make a game, and the studio used their resources to make it a reality and publish it under their sister brand Second Maze (they mostly use it to clear up the differentiation with their Rusty Lake series) It's that good because it's been made by a multi-million dollars indie company (according to my estimates) But nobody plays it because it's an artist's game that has no ties with their usual work published under a dead label that they only use to publish small creators' content, that they then promoted for a few days, and that's it

The creator of every game on the list payed that amount of money in order for their games to be able to be put up on the site. Edit: The worth of $100 is largely dependent from how its spent.

"And I must scream" has a story to it. What I got was a young boy trying to get over the grief having lost a lost one, as proven by the voice line "I'll do anything to get her back". I guess the spider boss thing symbolises him trying to escape said feelings of grief and the blue old looking fella is him moving on. In the end when he puts the flowers on the grave stone, that's like proving he's moved on from her death. I do not know why the boss is a spider maybe her death had something to do with it?

I feel like finding fran has a deeper message. You search for fran all over the map. And when you do, what then? You realise how empty and blank the world is. No quests. Just the map. The empty map. But we never saw that before. And even if we did, it didn't seem so bad because we had a purpose. We were chasing and finding fran. We were finding meaning in a world without it. But in a world so bland, what quest is there really? And so we decide to search for fran. A mundane quest to look for a stranger. And yet, the search for fran made those few minutes fly by faster. The world didn't seem so empty then. It only did after we found fran. After we finished our quest. But who's to say finding fran is the end of the adventure? Why not search for someone else, or do another quest? Sure, we don't know if finding another npc with another name would work. We don't even know if they exists. But we weren't sure if fran was real until we found her. Finding fran shows that life is what you make it. Life is empty and meaninful, joyful and tragic all at once. It only depends on how you look at it. It's a matter of perspective. BUT THAT'S JUST A THEORY.

I met Linus at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere Linus shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a big LTT fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” Linus was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Frankfurt, to Shanghai, to the snorkeling in Boracay, Linus and I made glorious gay love to each other on six of the seven continents.

Even the setting would be based upon where the crime was committed, as closely as the dev could manage with their lack of experience.
