Weeknotes #79 (May 09, 2026)
Posted on:
Things I found, read, did, and produced this past week.
Things I consumed
- Sega and RGG presented more of their new RPG, Stranger than Heaven where it has a lot of vibes from their yakuza series, but alongside a music / showman mechanic that is core to the main character. No release date other than a window of this coming winter.
- Node 26 finally is out after a few delays, where the Temporal API is now available to node. This version will enter a LTS cycle this October.
- Modulus: Factory Automation is a new factory game that came out last month with a puzzle focus of breaking apart voxels into shapes to feed machines. Compared to other games in this genre, I feel there are some things that they need to change for quality of life like moving machines and conveyor belts about where games like Shapez 2 or Dyson Sphere Program do much better, but that said I feel if they incrementally build upon this core it definitely can become something that I am willing to play multiple playthroughs of the game.
