Apogee!
I know they are only the publisher of this game, but I remember when they were developers. I have fond memories of playing hours of Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II on MS-DOS. They also did the publishing of one of my favorite games, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. I played more of Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure than I did of the Duke Nukem series. If time allows, I will be downloading the Quest Master demo this evening to give it a spin.

Interesting to Note:

I just noticed that Hi-Fi Rush is a game in the Humble Choice for May.

Quoting: SparhawkLittle Computer People

Thank you for reminding me of Little Computer People. I played this game with my children on the Commodore 64.

One interesting thing mentioned in the Wikipedia article is:

QuoteCopy protection
In pirated copies of the game on the Atari ST (and possibly other platforms) the game would load, but the character would simply stand knocking on the screen and wagging a finger at the player disapprovingly.

I know this was not the case on the Commodore 64 version... Not that my copy of the game was pirated, of course.

Thanks for alerting us to this sale. I likely would have missed it. I have worked for decades for an organization that serves people with disabilities. I would have been very disappointed if I had missed the opportunity to support this charity. In addition, I picked up a copy of No Mans's Sky for 50% off. Win-Win. This game has been on my wishlist for years.

When I think of Snap, I immediately think of the American military acronym SNAFU.

A couple questions for those more knowledgeable than I on the subject of Minecraft launchers...

For years I have been using MultiMC. Prism Launcher has a very similar interface. I have never used ATLauncher, GDLauncher or Prism Launcher. Since MultiMC is also open source, I was thinking that perhaps Prism Launcher is a fork of MultiMC or vise versa. Is this a valid assumption?

Every few months I invite all the grandchildren over to play Minecraft. I have eight laptops that use MultiMC as the launcher for Minecraft. We have one of the laptops as the host and the rest of the kids connect over the LAN. It is a great time! What (if any) are the advantages to using Prism Launcher over MultiMC?

Thank you Liam for bringing this game to my attention. My favorite demo on Next Fest was ViewFinder. After watching the YouTube video, I decided Paper Trail has the same vibe.

This game is quite different from the other PC games (racing, football and mobile) published by OutOfTheBit Ltd. The fact that protagonist is a young boy, he is being hunted and the are puzzles and platforming; I was reminded of INSIDE. I enjoyed the 30 minutes I played the demo. Of course, I got stuck on one of the puzzles, but hope to get back to it at some point and have Wishlisted the game.

Great review! Sounds like something I would enjoy. There is a demo available on Steam, so I will can give it a try before I buy. I love having the option to play demos. I look forward to the Next Fest event on Steam.

Thanks for the heads up on this fund raiser Liam. I made a donation.

Over the last year I have switched from using Xfce to KDE for my desktop environment. For that reason and because I have noted a couple content creators that I follow recommend Kdenlive over OBS, I installed Kdenlive on one of my machines.

The timing of this article is rather fortuitous in that received a video from a friend that I need to edit. Up to this point I have only been doing a test drive of Kdenlive. It will be interesting to see if my donation is a good investment, so to speak.
