Pon has news!? Oh, sadly, it seems he’s forgotten the name of the game... it’s not Pon’s Winter.
Thank you for your support and excitement throughout 2025. Our sincerest apologies, but we’d like a little more time to make this TANUKI adventure a truly special one!

Probably to no surprise 😅we've pushed TANUKI back a bit into 2026.
However, I recently finished one of my first (kinda full playthroughs) and wow, it's a nice way to end the year. To see all of the team's incredible hard work come so far and together. I'm so proud of how lil' Pon is shaping up 💌

It was an honor to present the award for Visual Design this year. Congrats to 30 Birds!
How many birds does it take to lift a trophy and fly away with an award?

Still some serious deadlines before the end of the year, but going to start hunkering down for winter and playing stuff that I haven't had time for.
The eclectic mix for sure.

Bruce is an absolute hero and has always inspired and supported me. It’s not a surprise as one of the top creatives this would be his response 🔥
If you need some catharsis today, I talked to Bruce Straley about generative AI in gaming:
"I don’t know who wants it, I don’t know who’s asking for it, I don’t know who’s pushing for it, but I don’t think it’s the way as a human species we need to be evolving.” www.polygon.com/bruce-strale...

‘I don’t think prompting is art.’ The Last of Us director tees off on generative AI
Bruce Straley doesn't think gen AI has a place in game development

Fair play to the Clair Obscura team. Pulling that off is wild, and they look like a really great team to be a part of. Wonderful stuff.

Add that to ONE MORE Kepler trailer and Clair Obscura just won "indie" game... like come on.
Clair Obscura winning "independent award" off the back of their funding partner having not one, but TWO trailers back to back - in the most expensive award showcase in the year. Hard not to be ever so SLIGHTLY cynical lol.
