Enjoy my latest interview with @tom.sokpop.co from Sokpop Collective, the Dutch indie games collective that has put out over 100 indie games, including Grunn!
We discuss Sokpop, pricing games cheaply, Grunn and Tom's upcoming remake of his old game Bernband!

V slowly catching up with Silksong. The Widow boss fight feels like this game's Mantis Lords. Just a really fun, tense fight (with an added surprise) where it's all about reaction and learning a pattern to an art. Great stuff! (Yes I'm that weird gamer that likes v hard games & also walking sims 😆)
Went and visited Peter Molyneux at his studio 22cans today in Guildford for BBC Tech Now, to find out more about Masters of Albion, their next game - and apparently Peter's final one.
Can the creator of the god game genre summon one last great hit?
@mrsambarlow.bsky.social hey Sam! I dropped you an email about a potential thing in November, I don't know if you got a chance to see it? Send me a DM here if it's easier, but no worries if you're not around!
@timsheinman.bsky.social has been making deduction games for years and nobody told me!
I just finished "Rivals", which is part of the Owlskip Set on Steam, where you have to figure out the chronology of events in the lives of two former band members, Luke and Josh, who have gone their own way.
If you're wanting a new detective / investigation game to scratch that Roottrees / Golden Idol / Obra Dinn itch, The Ratline by @timsheinman.bsky.social has just been released!
Here's my developer interview with him about the game, a thriller all about Nazi hunting!

I finished Perfect Tides Station to Station. What a beautiful game that is.
Had some minor issues with the information mechanic but Meredith Gran has such a talent for evoking the dizzying chaos of being a young adult.
And that karaoke scene! Magic.

Cheers Vic! Very much appreciate it!
I hate to beg, but the truth is any hope of me finishing my next game depends on sales of my previous ones, and Rosewater could use a lot more.
Get it for 25% until March 26th.
Huge congrats to @meredithgran.com! I'm playing at the moment and the writing really is excellent.
The @baftagames.bsky.social noms are out!
Unsurprising to see Expedition 33 in the top award, fab to see Blue Prince and Dispatch too!

- What will be new besides graphical updates

What started as a small, silly creative side project somehow turned into a 1980s-style point-and-click adventure. It’s made by two geeky Swedes who spent way too much time playing point-and-click classics from Sierra and Lucasfilm/Arts.
Wishlist on Steam:🥳 store.steampowered.com/app/4394150/...
Station to Station is very close to 100 Steam reviews - can we get it there? if you've played the game on the platform, leaving a review helps a lot with visibility:
