Don't forget: If you've played and enjoyed Demonschool, please do leave a review on steam! We want to hit that "overwhelmingly positive" threshold. And remember, if we do it by the end of the month (5 days!), Faye gets a pretzel~ store.steampowered.com/app/1900250/...

Goodnight Universe is very charming, like a really good Dreamworks/Sony animated film. There are parts where they make you close your eyes IRL and experience the scenes through only sound, and it really feels like you're there. It's the first time the word "immersive" actually feels warranted.

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today.

I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them.

I am not one to post like this usually, but as things have developed recently, I want to take a minute and get some stuff off my chest.

If your game has voice acting, then working with the voice actors is half of your writing process. It's not complete until you've heard it interpreted and reimagined by a voice actor. And they always reimagine it in ways that elevate the writing, in ways you never would have imagined yourself.

We need more developer-centered industry third spaces that don't cost an arm and a leg to get to or participate in.

If you run one or know one, now's a great time to bring attention to it.
