Dead by Daylight: My Little Oni Event is a limited event of Giant proportions
After the release of the controversial “Killer the ‘Unknown’” by Dead by Daylight, there will be an event that might revitalize one of the veteran Killers. When this teaser was released, people thought it was just an April Fool’s joke, but it’s not. It is an April Fool’s event but it is actually playable! In fact, there is a PTB (Public Test Build) that is playable for selected streamers. The event, “My Little Oni,” will make the killer, “The Oni,” look massive to Survivor players. He won’t be a giant; instead, the Survivors will be shrunk to be smaller. Making him a giant might mess up the map. It’s a shame that the Attack on Titan skins are now out of the Dead by Daylight Store because this event would be awesome with the Armored Titan skin for Oni. This event is temporary, Once the event is over “Giant Oni” will be gone. I hope this event will be at least active for a month at least. Oni killer mains will
8-Bit Brigade Launches Kickstarter
Indie developers unite for 8-Bit Brigade, a Switch compilation of NES homebrew games, now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. We’ve covered the crowdfunding campaigns for several NES homebrews around here. Usually their purpose is to produce physical versions on real NES cartridges, but getting the games published on modern hardware is another matter (unless it’s Steam, then you just roll the ROM into an emulation package and hit “publish”). So, these indie creators figured, why not team up and release one massive compilation title? Thus was formed the 8-BIT BRIGADE. The campaign launched today. 8-Bit Brigade contains ten of the biggest NES projects of the last few years, from developers like Dale Coop (Skate Cat), Nate Peters (Doodle World) and YouTuber John Riggs (Yeah Yeah Beebiss II). The #1 goal is to produce a physical copy on Switch, and for that to happen a higher number of pledges has to be hit — the goal is $60,000. They’re a long way off, but with 29 days to go (and your help), they
