Friday Forage: June 6th

Here’s the repost of last Friday’s Forage—minus the extras I’ve shifted to a separate article.

🔮 Upcoming Game News

• Road to Vostok is pumping out Patreon updates, including a playable build for backers.
• In their latest dev log, the developers explain why they decided to shift the starting point of Lost Legions.
• Chinese Frontiers has a time-limited demo live now, giving you a peek at the game’s intro ahead of its full release on June 19. No Early Access detour—this one’s going straight to 1.0.
• After going quiet for ages after its initial playtest, Blind Descent is alive again, with a new partnership (META Publishing) and a fresh trailer. (I’ll probably need to earmark it for an upcoming article now that they’re finally sharing something more substantial than just lore.)I like the new key art!

#️⃣ Hashtag Rundown

A few Patreon posts went live this week—some free, some for supporters. Wild Side—remember that one? Pepperidge Farm remembers… and so do I. In fact, I made a post and a YouTube video about it. Go check those out if you haven’t already!

💥 Quick Shots

• Forever Skies promises to ‘do better’ as recent reviews slide into Mixed territory.
• I do love the video devlogs for new VEIN content, though this is mostly a hotfix.
• HumanitZ has a lot of neat shit coming- vehicle mods and a craftable hacking device.
• The release of the Deadside modkit has spiced things up!
• Expedition Log #5 for The Alters is up on YouTube.
• SCUM shifts to 1.0 June 17th – here’s a new trailer.
• SurrounDead dropped a new content patch and, after a quick break, outlines plans.
• Now that Under a Rock has confirmed it’s leaning into a friction-light, mechanics-lite direction, we’ll be stepping back from regular updates on the title.

🕸️ Around the Web

• Rejoice? A single-player Dungeons & Dragons game is on the way.
• A Jaws documentary with never-before-seen footage? I’m in.
• Discord, please don’t fuck shit up. I’m tired of running to new VoIP platforms.
• Real survival planning means knowing exactly how you’d eat your hiking partner, if it came to that.

Catch the next Forage every Friday. Hashtag Survival is the best way to stay on track in this genre.
