So far, Spirit Swap and Lakeburg Legacies have caught my attention enough to wish list them.

Yeah Lakeberg Legacies really grabbed me from what little we saw.

So much freaking cool and unique art in all these games. But it's going by so fast I'm completely missing the name of the game before we move on to the next one and I'm wow'd again.
They really need a break after each X games with a title card of what we just saw.-
They seem a little too similar to be shown together like this. I feel like have the games are a farming sim, in pastel colors, and the player controls a non-human with a cute name. I'm sure there is a market for that, its just being shown together like this isn't helping.

Okay, depending on how deep Solarpunk is that might be my game after Factorio.
