Hollow Knight: Silksong's devs have spoken about their silence in a new Bloomberg interview.

"We’re a small team, and games take a lot of time. There wasn’t any big controversial moment behind it.”

“All we could really say is, ‘We’re still working on it.’”

I've created a cozy music asset pack to use in your projects! ✨

The pack contains 15 loopable wav files in the style of Pikmin, Disney Dreamlight Valley and Tales of the Shire.

This provides an affordable way to use my music! Thank you for the support 🥰

Does anyone use Substack? I’ve been tossing the idea around of starting a gaming and review blog on there. Was curious if anyone would be interested in that.

Ralph "SkillUp" Panebianco has built a successful YouTube career with more than one million subscribers. So naturally, his next move is... to start a video game website?

I spoke to Panebianco about his new venture ("no ads, no AI") and why he's doing it: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
