{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38521136/25fe395ca8e9c8e3e697ed2ac9d78971433d623f.png How's your portfolio doing? Today we're pleased to release The Stonks Market, right here on Steam. It's a simple trading simulator with a funny story about a rather clueless guy who gets into all kinds of trouble through the stock market. You'll get access to a basic trading terminal, a stimulus check, and enough time to risk it all gambling on bad plays you've barely researched. All of this while you contend with a frustrated wife, too many know-it-all advisors, and the crippling fear of losing it all in an instant. Kind

The Humble Bundle fall sale is in full swing, and in addition to free copies of Brutal Legend, it's filled with big discounts on great indie games. The entire sale is a goldmine, but publisher Devolver Digital's library is especially rich.  Note that some games are on sale through Tuesday, November 28, but others are only discounted until this Friday, November 24. Here are some highlights for the shorter sale which ends this Friday: *  Titan Souls - $4 (75 percent off)  ; *  Broforce - $4 (75 percent off) ; *  Shadow Warrior - $10 (75 percent off) ;

Greetings Vagabonds, There's a new video on the YouTube channel today. It features indie game and narrative maven, Will O'Neill. https://youtu.be/0e70i9r8hvI For those of you who aren't familiar with the man, Will O'Neill is another Toronto-born-RPG-Making-wordsmith who broke onto the scene circa PAX East 2014. He's been slinging verbs and sharpening adjectives across the industry ever since. We are very fortunate to have him join Vagabond Dog as an Associate Writer to help develop an extensive series of unique vignette sequences that help define and expand the profiles of our bus friend chara
