The next game includes a kinda first bash at a "theatre"-system: there are two characters, each with threads of conversation they follow - one is the player, one an NPC, and each can reply to the other. So we have two conversations running, overlapping, with the balance tipping both ways as it goes

Received my copy of A Highland Song ❤️
Nice to hold it in the hands and got a personal Uncle Hamish (though the paper one). And there’s also a cute mini-diary with maps in the box!
Thanks @inkle.co for the game and the gift! 🥰

Looking at how pretty it is in Expedition 33, I’m now absolutely sure that FF7: Rebirth should’ve embraced the overworld map – after all it was the same in the original game. Instead of going “openworld with mindless routine activities” route.

On April 16th, 2019, we released Heaven's Vault.
Today, we're thrilled to announce we're returning to the Nebula to continue the story.
Based on our original notes for an unmade sequel, "The Flood" is a new novel that continues from where the game, and the previous books, left off.

I was genuinely thinking “Well now I’d need to buy Switch 2”, but the reality quickly saved me.
Still, there are hopes that Miyazaki will come up with something different but fun, not that excited though.

Quite the emotional rollercoaster today seeing FromSoftware announce Bloodborne 2 in all but name, finding out it's a Switch 2 exclusive, and then learning that it's an 8-player PvPvE game

I was hooked on a premise of a "typing game and something else" and ended up playing probably the best horror of the last years for me.
Very dense atmosphere, a lot of creepiness that descends to madness, and organic agency that leads to different endings.

So Expelled! is out!
I started it right after Overboard!, thinking - this'll be quick. It wasn't. I gave up, twice, before knuckling down in Jan '24. By June I had something up and running, enough for 60+ testers to kick into shape.
But the idea for a boarding school game came from my aunt. 🧵

Wow, I've avoided all the details of Citizen Sleeper 2, and this is the sequel I didn't know I really wanted: it's now a space adventure with your own crew to go on missions together, and an overarching story with its own mystery. You can easily see the Firefly inspiration.
