We teamed up with so many incredible comic artists to bring Dustborn’s issue covers to life.

In honour of spooky season, we had to share this one from issue #3 by @leocolapietro.bsky.social🧟

Pressfire, one of Norway’s top gaming sites, played Hello Sunshine at the Tokyo Game Show…and they loved it: “Red Thread has something really special going on here. Not only does it look striking, it was also a lot of fun to play.”

Article’s in Norwegian but your browser can probably translate.

So, I finished my Dustborn playthrough last week and I really hope the devs know they made something cool there!

I loved the comic book aesthetics in the game.

Seeing Pax turn into a more caring person (in my plathrough, anyway) and the group growing as a team is so nice. Loved that!

Today was a turn for a new game on stream, so we started Dustborn, the winner of Discord's vote. Got through the prologue and part of chapter 1 and still liked it as I did the demo we tried way back. Beautiful game and we've just scratched the surface. More to come on the rest of the week's streams!

Tokyo Game Show was amazing for Hello Sunshine — we had hundreds (!) of people stopping by to play the demo, and the feedback was very positive! Still early days but we will share more soon.

The lines for playing Hello Sunshine — especially split screen co-op — are growing very long. Amazing to see people waiting 30+ minutes for a run!

I won a red thread games giveaway about a month ago. #redthreadgames #dustborn #dreamfall I'm excited for the #wonka USB. Gonna install linux mint on it.

pixel art arcade splash screen of a special level in the game dustborn with the crew striking a pose. Theo, Pax, Sai, Noam. The text, The Raid is emblazoned on the left side. There's a red sky with building in dark colours. a hologram of the ceo's cyborg face hovering over the crew. Theo has a gun.

Eli, girl, Pax and ziggy on the rooftop performing for a giant squid with three tentacles that have eyes in them. The air is filled with orange dust of the exclusion zone.

Dreamfall Chapters collectors edition. has one map of the northlands, one wonkas usb stick, one postcard with april and crow with the dev's signature behind it. one copy of the game, one soundtrack and the tomb of the balance story and art bible.

What a wonderful bit of writing. I’m so happy people are still discovering our game. I’ll be the first to admit that Dustborn is an imperfect patchwork of deeply passionate ideas in the shape of a game…and I’m so damn proud of it and everyone who contributed, from the actors to the artists.

I finished Dustborn last night, and felt compelled to write something about it. It'd be nice if you could give it a read, especially if you haven't heard of it before. medium.com/@jimcrikey/d...

Dustborn: A wonderful patchwork of imperfections

Three things about Dustborn conspired to catch my attention when I stumbled upon it. The first, I’ll happily admit, was the price. £9.95…

Day one of actual in-game writing for Hello Sunshine. First line: describing an arrow. Peak game-writing glamour.

Screenshot from SAGA, our in-house writing tool. A folder called “Game” is open, showing items like Arrow, Battery, Berry, and Bow, each with their own “Description” and “Protagonist Description.” The glamorous reality of game writing: starting with “Arrow Description.”
