Something I miss about working on I am Dead is getting to do real world research (with a lowercase r). Going to little museums, reading Wikipedia pages on weird obscure stuff, nattering about stuff that interests you... and then getting to put it into a videogame: it's fun!

Here's a film about the making of I AM DEAD, which shows a bunch of Richard Hogg's concept art for that game, and digs into how we drew inspiration from the town of Hastings on the south coast of England, where he lives.

@hollowponds.bsky.social really nailed the "cozy" vibes with this game with some really clever puzzles. The story however is what really brings it together with an extremely kind and wholesome ending.

I really enjoyed Loot Rascals when I played it! Kind of rare to hear Scottish voices in games outside of historical fantasy which was a nice wee bonus. Unique art style and a great sense of humor.

First up...

Loot Rascals

Try and rescue your friend Big Barry from the clutches of The Thing Below in our very silly roguelike.

Fight your way through the bizarre space theme park using the power of Loot Cards to defeat bizarre enemies.

A screenshot from Loot Rascals by Hollow Ponds with art by Davey Swatpaz. There are a variety of cards laid out in a grid, they all feature illustrations of items you might find in a holiday camp but more space-y. They all have different text on them that gives the player different powers to their attack or defence, some have extra powers that are shown by fire, love hearts or similar around the edge of the card. A screenshot from Loot Rascals by Hollow Ponds with art by Davey Swatpaz. This is an in-game screenshot and the level is made up of lots of hexagons that the player and enemies are standing on. The player is currently fighting an alien whilst several bizarre enemies look on such as a man made of ice cream, an alien made of rose hips and a strange choral singer.

The player character and their G.E.N.I.E. sidekick are stood in the middle of the screen and a variety of enemies from the game are surrounding them around the camera and are staring menacingly at them. The player characters looks scared.
