I’ve only played a couple of Santa Ragione’s games but these former IGF narrative winners are doing work I deeply appreciate. I’ll be playing HORSES, and I hope you will too.
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found.
And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange.
We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

Hey so, today is my last day at Crystal Dynamics apparently. I joined the company in 2018 to work on Marvel's Avengers and it's been the longest (and best) job I've ever had. It now means I'm looking for work, so if you know of any senior writer/narrative designer positions please send them my way.

If you’re distraught and horrified by the current direction of the United States like I am, I implore you to take a few minutes out of your day to look up what’s on your ballot and where your nearest polling place is, and go vote in your local elections. Change and progress happens at all levels.
