Blankos Block Party Gets New Trailer Just In Time For SXSW


Mythical Games has released a new trailer for Blankos Block Party. 

Mythical Games released a new trailer today for Blankos Block Party, just in time for the SXSW Gaming convention in Austin, Texas (https://youtu.be/Zfsp0FQ5X8s). Blankos Block Party is an online virtual world where players will be able to collect Blankos, build their own block parties, create their own game experiences, and invite their friends to visit while jamming out to great music.

Attendees of the SXSW Gaming Opening Party on March 15 will get to experience the first hands-on opportunity with Blankos Block Party, a showcase featuring a DJ set by world-renowned musicologist Questlove, a live hand-painting presentation by legendary artist Dan Lish, and could potentially become the single card holder of a one-of-a-kind ‘Golden Ticket’ Blanko.

Blankos are unique digital collectibles that can be traded and customized. Some of these fun characters include ‘Billy Bones’ – a mischievous Blanko who likes to show off, ‘El Cha’ – a clueless but funny class clown, and ‘Peanut’ – a lovable clumsy friend who just wants to fit in. This year at SXSW Gaming, Blankos will release nine new limited-edition characters only available at SXSW, some of which are designed by artists such as Dan Lish and Jon-Paul Kaiser.

Lead design for Blankos Block Party is being headed by Mythical Games’ Chief Creative Officer, Jamie Jackson (formerly of FreeStyleGames - DJ Hero, Guitar Hero). The game takes place in a casual multiplayer world styled like a giant block party, that includes a vibrant hub where friends can meet, go on scavenger hunts, take on daily challenges, and eventually take part in global online mini-games. They can even explore and play in other player designed block parties as well. For more information, visit https://www.blankos.com/.

Letter Lost: Postmarked Secrets - A cozy post office that hides rules and a deeper mystery. (Demo Preview)

Letter Lost drops you into the Kharnym Isle Post Office as its sole employee, tasked with the deceptively simple work of stamping, sorting, and dispatching the island’s mail. On the surface it’s a cozy workplace sim; polite locals, daily pay, and mandatory room and board that removes the hassle of commuting, but the office’s cheery routine is threaded with odd rules and quiet contradictions that quickly make the ordinary feel off‑kilter. What begins as a satisfying loop of weighing parcels and matching stamps soon becomes a game of attention: letters hide hints, patrons’ small talk slips into unsettling confessions, and management’s insistence that you never leave the premises reads less like policy and more like a warning. The demo covers your first four days on the job, teaching the systems while nudging you toward choices, obey protocol and keep the peace, or pry at the seams and uncover the post office’s darker purpose. Either way, those first shifts are a careful, uncanny invitat...
