Let's travel back in time, roughly to the late 2000s and early 2010s. It was a time where indie games were becoming more of a defined Separate Thing from blockbuster games. It certainly wasn't the birth of indie games, but with the release of certain notable games like Fez, it did mark a change in who got to make money from them at the very least. But to me personally, there is no more quintessential indie game from that era than Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP, which against my wishes has turned 15 today. Read more

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3953379/7d223749650d160869869ca5a2fc1e5d0dd59e33.png Hello Cosmic Friends ✨ This is CAPY, back from our chilling yet exciting trip at Grindstone Mountain. It was quite different from our time in the Depths, but that was also incredible to uncover. Though we are making progress towards a new, fantastical place, we thought it would be pleasant to revisit Mingi Taw. We have a refreshing update for Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP! This affects a variety of platforms, such as: iOS, Mac, Linux, and PC. It’s definitely worth a thorough examination in the form of playing through

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3953379/d22c6190fa99b2cd8ae19219b629b3dfce2e52f9.png There's something to be said for 2D pixel paintings, isn't there? You put a pixel in its proper place, dial in its proper HSB, and so long as your color palettes are in reasonable order, then the pixel will stay just how you left it. Then, when someone views the image -- or plays the videogame that takes place atop it -- the visual communication can be remarkably accurate and clean. Less to fuss about. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3953379/6dacda9d2cd952f31a99677c13618ff3e6e922a6.png As you may imagine, there's something appealing to

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3953379/56dec054bf3303384f14839b4ee6b1a5ec164bec.jpg Folks, listen: the videogame biz is a weird place. I can tell you, at least from my strange and specific vantage point as a creator and an entrepreneur, that it seems to be bananas. Sometimes, in good ways. Sometimes something intricate and strange like JETT is able to ride favourable industry currents, reach for the stars, and actually get there. Sometimes you end up with a line-up of interesting people, wishlists in hand, queuing up for what's on offer. More on that in a second, but first lemme get your eyes and ears on

You and a pal have been cooking up a science fiction videogame where you explore a planet and survive from two perspectives: you can walk around and talk to people, then you get in a jett and you can zip

A few weeks ago I popped up with a post to tell you about where #sworcery and JETT overlap. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/204060/view/3433458944730393702 Today I'm here to tell you a bit about: how #sworcery led to JETT, how JETT's memorable interstellar demo came about (incl some of my 2013-era character previz), and how my IRL experience as a new parent influenced aspects of its tone.

It’s the RPS/Gamer Network annual day of chest-thumping/excessive consumption/enforced PowerPoint-watching, so we’ll all be offline when Capy’s much-anticipated rando-dungeon-runner Below launches this evening. Hence, let’s say this now: Below’s out today! Somehow! After half a decade! Is that even a long time in games development any more? I don’t know I’ve been here 11 years so it feels like Below only got announced like, last summer! Anyway! It’s really happening! Happy days! (more…)

Very pretty/entirely menacing rand-o-dungeon-o game Below has been tantalising us from a distance for half a decade. “It’ll never happen!”, bellowed Derek Misery from a Twitter account with 12 followers, sometime in 2016. Well, suck it up, Derek – all of a sudden, the closest thing there is to a follow-up to peerless adventure/musical odyssey/exploratory crisis Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP is out in seven short days.
