Surprise - we've got an exclusive (and lengthy) interview with Bubsy 4D lead and @fabraz.bsky.social founder Fabian Rastorfer coming soon! We discuss the game's origins, what makes a quality platformer, the importance of earnestness to a project like this, and much more - don't miss it!

A colorful advertisement for an upcoming interview between gaming outlet HypocriticGG and Fabian Restorer, founder of game development studio Fabraz, about the upcoming game Bubsy 4D. Alongside text announcing the interview, the Bubsy character floats through the vivid and stylized space background seen in the game's key art.
