So Metroid has never appealed to me…..

But Metroid being ruined by a Jar-Jar Binx style character totally wrecking any moody isolation with terrible jokes…

I might be weirdly here for.

If any of my London Homies see this poster on the tube let me know!!
Why settle for just your own platforms when you can take over others too?

From October 20th until November 2nd, Yooka and Laylee are taking over the London Underground! If you spot our favourite buddy-duo, why not snap a shot and tag us on socials? We'd love to see! 💜💚

The greatest art in the world is the stuff you assumed was impossible and then somone makes it look effortless.

Something being hard to pull off doesn’t make it not worth pursuing. Not all things things worth making are an easy ride.

LONG LIVE 3D PLATFORMERS
Something I didn't mention in my story yesterday: one of the reasons that Team Cherry had such an enjoyable time making Silksong is that it's 2D. Nice and flat. Don't have to worry about 3D art pipelines.

In other words, all video games should be 2D

Sadly Playtonic has let go of a number of staff this week. Daley deserves your attention. She spearheaded some very exciting features on unannounced projects and it was great seeing her take like a duck to water when she transitioned to design. Get her in the interview room!
