The latest edition of Steam Next Fest is underway! As always, there are so many cool new demos to sort through, so I'll use this thread to keep track of a few I'm interested in. Devs and fans, please reply with your recommendations!

Navigate unique mazes with the help of gadgets like a hoverboard or a robot mouse that scurries towards the exit in Go North.

Well, the day is here, the Demo is out, and the nerves along with the emotions are high.

I can't wait to see you bring to life and don't forget to take pics and share around.

Thanks so much for following along on this journey all this years!

Updates have been sent for all Wholesome Snack submissions! The Snack features about one-third as many games as the Direct, but we received nearly 1,000 entries. That means only 2.5% of submissions made the cut. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share their work with us!

Reminder ⏰ Today is the submission deadline for December’s Wholesome Snack! Please complete your entry by midnight Pacific Time to be considered.

Overwhelmingly positive! Thank you everyone! 🎉 I'm preparing Monday's update which will add locking and hiding objects, dozens of changes and of course new items again!
