South of Midnight - Altamaha-ha Music Video

I feel like South of Midnight is getting some heavy marketing when compared to the size of the project.



And damn these designs continue to seriously impress me.

The art, music, design, overall vibes of this game are 🔥

Just a shame I'm worried about the combat/platforming.

Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is just making me want a fully single-player, action-adventure with RPG elements, pirate game again and making me once again disappointed Ubisoft never did anything like that, Lol. Some alternate history thing, I don't want it to be based on historical events but it could still have those historical characters like Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Charles Vane, etc. Starting as a nobody with a tiny ship and crew, then like Yakuza having dozens of unique characters to recruit across the world, then I thought to myself, how cool it would be to have a sort of Nemesis System in it which applies to both the pirate themselves and their ships.

That's exactly why I want to buy that game, because there are barely any good pirate games these days.

No seriously, even YT suggests this to me a few months back: 

I remember growing up as a kid and there just being at least "a" form of pirate game here and there, but today?, barely any (besides SoT and this yakuza one). 

I tried SoT so hard, but it's a game geared towards PVPVE, and I've discovered I absolutely loathe PVEVP design at it's core, and SoT just wasn't offering me enough tangible SP content to keep me going.

I know there's the On e Piece games, but those are mostly shallow repeats of anime/manga story beat arcs, and most of the OP games are beat'em up types or Muso, not like Yakuza, SoT or Sid Meier's Pirates. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

After 20 years of it being rumoured, Tom Warren is now saying Gears Collection exists too.

Jez is trying to get firm confirmation from sources.
