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/.

Haymaker: VR Brawling, Up Close - Authentic, physics‑first combat that turns your body into the controller. (Game Review)

Haymaker is a physics‑first VR brawler in active Early Access that prioritizes authentic, body‑driven melee and high replayability. Its core systems are already playable: weighty, physics‑based hand interactions for grabbing, grappling, and striking; gesture‑driven kicks and knees that reward full‑body motion; adaptive AI that reads and reacts to the battlefield; and sandbox encounters that encourage improvisation with props and environment. Many systems remain in prototype; levels, progression loops, and some modes are still being shaped, but the mechanical foundation is solid and satisfying. The studio is deliberately using Early Access as a development lab: player feedback will guide tuning, bug fixes, and content expansion, so the game you play now is a promising glimpse of a more polished, content‑rich brawler to come. Core systems and combat • Physics‑driven hands : Interactions are governed by a weight‑aware physics model that responds to force, angle, and momentum; so grabs, h...

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...

550 Geese Killed at the Request of an HOA — And the Question We Can’t Ignore

In Madison, Alabama, more than 550 geese were captured and killed in a single coordinated operation carried out by USDA Wildlife Services at the request of a homeowners association. What was described as a “population control effort” has ignited a deeper and far more uncomfortable conversation: When did wildlife become something we simply remove when it becomes inconvenient? According to reports from the Heritage Plantation HOA, the geese population had grown to levels they claimed were “five times” what was considered sustainable for the area. The association said it had spent years attempting non-lethal methods, including deterrents and egg management strategies, before ultimately requesting a full-scale cull approved under federal wildlife guidelines. Nine USDA agents carried out the operation. Within a single night, hundreds of birds that had been living, nesting, and raising young in the community were gone. The HOA cited concerns about sanitation, water quality, and public health...
