Howdy, Vec here!

I'm finally settling back down from my long winded university semester & on my summer break for the next few months. During this time, more than 350 informational reviews have been published, several incredible games have been released within the past few weeks alone & we're broken the thousand follower barrier in April 15th which is still insane to me. Thank you all so much for supporting these games, sharing the page & following along this silly journey I embarked on.

To commemorate this occasion, I'm setting up monthly newsletters to help highlight 10 featured games on the curator page that have released during the previous month. Making it easier to view these games, as they come out.

(I wish I could do the full set of 12, but Steam caps link embeds at 10 games) Apologies in advance to Poolscape & Ex Libris (ITS FREE!), please check both out they deserve to be on this list as well.

All of these games are visible on the new releases tab up on the curator page.

If you ended up picking up & enjoying these games, please consider leaving a review of said game. It tremendously aids developers in garnering exposure to other folks & informs people on what they're getting into.

This curator is informative with positive or negative recommendations upon personally playing through each one at my own leisure. My goal is to bring more awareness to these games towards likeminded folks who enjoy them.

As always leave suggestions for games that fit the bill over on the Blind Spots thread.

Lastly in addition to all of this, the Low Poly Styled group chat is now available for members & discussion threads now available to anyone beyond the members of this group to submit queries, discussions & submissions.

As for Steam's Summer Next Fest, the list will return once more with a new selection of demos to pick up & try out. Be on the look out when the list is live on June 15th as Next Fest starts along with a brand new set of informative reviews!

Thank you so much for reading through to the end! Please support your favorite developers in any way you can even through general discussions with other people about them. Not just the ones shown here, but others beyond the scope of this curator page.

Howdy everyone, Vec here!

Over the last few months a lot has been happening behind the scenes here in Low Poly Styled, some changes being more obvious than others so I'll be detailing them down below.

• Since the last update in November, 300+ new followers have begun following the curator page; shattering my overall expectations & current predictions. Cannot thank enough for folks circulating the links online to help people find their next new favorite game.
  
  
• I'm still recovering financially, so the contact page is still delayed. (I'd rather not give anymore estimations until I can be absolutely certain that I can make it a reality, sincere apologies about this!)
  
  
• I made a slight change to the Coming soon to a Steam near you! list to only feature games that are in active development. This change was done in response to some games that have been been put in hiatus or abandoned by the developers with no communication towards the community. This light purge of games from the list allowed new ones to take their place that are much closer to being fully realized. The informational reviews for the affected games are still in place, but won't show up in lists for the time being & will be reinstated once continued development resumes.

• Additionally, a few games have gained a special link to those in need of crowdfunding. When you click to Read the full review, some of the informational reviews will instead link to the developer's preferred method of crowdfunding if you wish to contribute to the continued support of the development of these upcoming games. This is a time consuming process, so please bear with me as things roll out.
  
  
• On the topic of crowdfunding, two games featured on the curator page have been fully funded over on Kickstarter. Their campaigns are still active at the time of writing so if you wish to contribute to the success of these two games: Sword Hero & Bel's Fanfare feel free to do so.

• Starting next week, Steam Next Fest will begin Monday, February 23rd & will run for a week straight until Monday, March 2nd. To commemorate this occasion a new list has been introduced called the Next Fest Demo Drive! the list consists of demos for upcoming games listed on the curator page that are active... RIGHT NOW!

• Lastly, the Group Page has a Guestbook thread. Feel free to leave your mark & have a fun time doing so!
  
  
• Any blind spots, suggestions or games you'd like to see featured on the page, send them over! Feel free to contribute we're always open to suggestions!

Finally, I will be slowing down significantly once March rolls around due to a shift in priorities to focus my endeavors in midterms. Reviews will still be scheduled on every day divisible by five, but do expect a bigger time gap between them. This is all, ultimately, a hobby for me. I wish to not burn myself out as I want to provide the best quality I can provide, but it takes several hours of my day to make sure everything is up to my standards.

Thank you so much for making it to the end, your continued support means the world to me & I hope that I've given thus far a curated selection of well-crafted games made by talented people from different walks of life. Please support your favorite developers in any way you can even if it means sharing promos with those that would like it for absolutely free.

Howdy everyone, Vec here!

It's wild how so much has changed in such a little time. The curator page is less than 90 folks away from reaching 500 & I'm eternally thankful for the support & use of Low Poly Styled. It means the world to me that everyone has been using the curator page to find new favorites & shine a spotlight on 190 games to folks that follow the page & use it daily.

Today some new announcements to be shared with the community!

• I've been solidifying a schedule for reviews & think it's high time to discuss how things are progressing. I found a great balance to remind myself to set up five informational reviews on every day divisible by 5 when able. (Ex. 5 > 10 > 15) This has led to a very healthy & diverse selection of games on display, while allowing games to receive equal amount of attention as all carousel displays are set to random (every time you refresh, the games should randomize).
  
  
• However as the reviews increase, the list cap (100 games) on these games will be met & has been met for the Coming soon to a Steam near you! list. To circumvent this, I'll be creating new carousels to swap in & out so expect the layout for LPS to change every so often as a way to give more ample opportunity to developers to get their games out there on the front page of LPS.
  
  
• Since the year is coming to a close, one of the new lists introduced will be a highlight to the games from the curated selection released in 2025. If it came out in 2025, it is fair game. Expect that to be shown within the end of November, early December when my classes wrap up for the semester.
  
  
• The contact page off site has been delayed due to a massive financial blow last month that I'm still recovering from. I've had developers reach out to me via social media over on BlueSky[vec.bsky.social] wanting to contribute their games for review & I'm extremely honored & thankful for their patience while the official contact page gets instated. (Currently aiming for early 2026 as we grow closer to 500.)
  
  
• Still in the lookout for more blind spots over at the suggestion thread. Feel free to contribute we're always open to suggestions!

Lastly, a personal thank you for everyone who has supported me in this silly side quest I embarked in early April of this year.

Special thanks to Retro Styled Games (RSG-PC) another fantastic curator group that encompasses pseudo-retro games beyond the scope of this page covering games inspired & styled ranging from ZX Spectrum to Xbox 360. Highly recommend their curator page for games beyond just the low poly games on display here. Their members have been extremely welcoming & supportive of my endeavors & wish them the best in their curation.

Thank you all for your continued support & hope to see you all next year (hopefully with the contact page fully established).

It has been an absolute delight how much this small project has grown over the last several months that I cannot underestimated how much it has kickstarted my drive & motivation.

Several things of note:

• Informational reviews have been slowing down significantly due to my shift in priorities to my university semester. Reviews will still go under way just expect a bigger time gap between reviews.
  
• I'll be setting up a contact page for developers that prefer going off site, still working on the details for hosting this. Expect an announcement for when that's all set up.
  
• We're currently on the fast track to 200 followers on the curator page! Never expected this amount of traction, but it has been a very rewarding experience overall. Ever since the page hit 150 followers earlier this month, it has managed to amass more followers than reviews posted.
  
• Still in the lookout for more blind spots over at the suggestion thread. Feel free to contribute!
  
• Extending my endless gratitude to everyone who has reached out & contributed let it that be in blind spot suggestions, sharing the curator page or heck just checking out the cool games. It means a lot & I cannot wait to see how things evolve from here.

Thank you all! Found out there's a little group announcement post since I've been voicing every other one over on BlueSky. (whoops...) Stay tuned for more cool as heck low poly styled games.
