Bennethon made these super cute games using his kids for the voices, they started from PowerQuest jams and they're really fun, easily worth a few bucks!

I write middle-grade whodunnits, so you might want to dismiss my opinion out of hand. But I think cosy games/crime sometimes miss the fact that blankets are only cosy when it's cold outside. A world without conflict / a story without stakes isn't cosy, it's just safe.
We need to talk about the cozyfication of games because it’s a serious disease, possibly as bad as the edgyfication of the 90s and the grittyfication of the 00s.

A bit of Summerfall Studios lore:

One day in 2019, and we were all very exhausted and punchy at the time, Liam responded to a long work thread on Slack with "praise Satan" but autocorrect corrected that to "praise Sarah" and the rest of us were VERY confused. Who is Sarah? What do you mean by that?

"Return of the Obra Dinn" is seven years old this week.

For this not-particularly-special anniversary, here's a re-cammed and narrated timelapse of (nearly) all character creation, object modeling, scene posing, and general 3D work for Obra Dinn from 2015 to 2018:

I’m working on PROJECT NIRVANA, a prototype for a souls-like inspired by Buddhist mythology and meditation.
I’ve been learning Unreal, 2D / 3D art and combat game design from scratch, so THINGS WILL BE SCRAPPY! But I want to start sharing my dev journey, so let's go!
