Join the Red Thread Games Discord Server! Norwegian indie studio behind Dreamfall Chapters, Draugen and Dustborn. Hello Sunshine coming soon🌞 | 2317 members

To celebrate her birthday and spring arrival, we're hosting a giveaway on our Discord www.redthreadgames.com/discord

Happy Birthday April Ryan! April was named after a month of her birth. The start of spring and the season of new beginnings. It's spring again and we want to take a moment to celebrate the girl who started it all. The very first protagonist of the series back in 1999.

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool.

And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

We've just hit an incredible milestone — 150,000 wishlists for Hello Sunshine ☀️

That wouldn't be possible without our amazing community. Thanks for your endless support and for joining us on this journey.

The sun is bright, but the future is brighter. We can't wait to show you what's next.

A year of progress on Hello Sunshine ☀️

It took us nine months to get to 100K wishlists. Another three months to get to 150K. A few weeks later we’re approaching 160K with over 10K Steam followers. I guess people love big robots and ours is the biggest and also most huggable.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Bugs Bunny lifting Clark Gable’s schtick from It Happened One Night (1934) is responsible for the whole rabbits-love-carrots myth. Apparently they’re way too high in sugar to be a staple part of their diet.

Happy Easter from our team at Red Thread Games 🐣

Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.

If you are not impressed by the picture of a Black Hole, clearly you do not understand the gravity of the situation…

You shall not pass 🤜

Our team’s been working on some animations for Hello Sunshine and, well... this was a particularly memorable moment for poor Nomad😅

Marketing told me everything can be explain as " thing + thing", so I tried it with Hello Sunshine ☀️

So if AI Psychosis is a thing that happens because the human mind breaks when it's trapped by a sycophant who affirms every thought, agrees with every delusion - does this give us a window into what's been happening into the ultra rich , and why they're such broken people?

The relatable parts of this story are:
a) releasing a game on Steam
b) crying

After 4 years of work, solo dev breaks down in tears after opening Steam and learning his game made $250,000 in a week: "I feel like I really don't deserve this" "I don't know why people are so nice. I don't get it, man"

Awwww yay

The outrage grift always needs a new enemy. Last month it was Relooted. This month it’s 1348 Ex Voto. Next month it’ll be another game, lazily dubbed Dustborn 2 or Concord 2 for clicks. Same cycle every time: manufacture controversy, feed the pile-on, cash in.

Hello Sunshine Deep Dive - Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2026 Red Thread Games took us on a journey into the mysterious world of Hello Sunshine during this year's Spring Showcase, revealing more about this emotional adventure game where you survive in the…

ICYMI: We joined Future Games Show to share some fresh gameplay and talk about the journey of Hello Sunshine 🌞

Watch our team chatting about the world we're building and what it's like to survive in a wasteland youtu.be/SmRWbEtPwbE?...

I try not to do ranty threads anymore, but man, this Valve GDC graph has just rubbed me up unbelievably badly

This was presented as a good thing - "more games are finding success!" -- when actually the data has just been presented in a tricksy way to make it look like everything is fine

Of course, it doesn't help that many indie developers seem to think 'I put up a Steam page and maybe a demo' is where marketing begins and ends.

You need to be telling people about your stuff CONSTANTLY. Everywhere you could possibly find anyone halfway interested. If you build it, they won't come.

Today it’s exactly one year since we released the teaser trailer and Steam page for Hello Sunshine. It changed everything for us, and today we’re close to passing 150K wishlists. I’m so proud of the team and so grateful we’ve managed to survive some pretty rough seas.

Usually words are our weapons, but tonight they're just meant to comfort 🏕️

#dustborn #storyrich #GameDev #IndieDev

Hard to believe it’s been a year since we first announced Hello Sunshine ☀️

Thanks for being part of the journey with us!

Hello Sunshine Deep Dive - Future Games Show Spring Showcase 2026 YouTube video by FGS

A few weeks ago, we descended into a dim underground cocktail bar in cold, drizzly London to talk about a game set in wide-open, sun-scorched desert landscapes.

Thanks for giving our game a fair chance, we appreciate the effort even if it didn't work for you!

Screenshot from a YouTube video displaying a website screenshot dated March 1, 2026 with the headline: “Marathon Beta Gets Rated 3.04/5 On PSN, Lower Than Concord And Dustborn.” A large thumbnail image for Marathon appears beside the headline. In the bottom-right corner, a commentator appears in a picture-in-picture video window. The article frames Marathon’s PSN beta rating by comparing it to Concord and Dustborn.

Ah yes, Dustborn: famously a live service game and still the benchmark in every culture-war loser’s imagination.

Dustborn : précurseur d’une Amérique fracturée Dustborn est sorti le 20 août 2024. Très rapidement, le jeu est victime d’une vague de commentaires négatifs de la part du public, alors que les avis presse sont bien plus enthousiastes. La raison de ce torrent de haine ? Le jeu est jugé « woke ».

Il y a bientôt deux ans sortait Dustborn, un jeu descendu par une partie de la critique car jugé «woke». Pourtant, au vu de ce qu'il se passe aux USA aujourd'hui, le jeu mérite qu'on lui jette un œil neuf.
