During a brutal time for funding in the video-game industry, the developer of the acclaimed 1000xResist found money from an unexpected source: the developer of Slay the Princess.
This week's column goes inside the team-up between two beloved narrative games: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
thank you so much for ✨ 40,000 WISHLISTS ✨ in 24 hours!!
that’s almost how many wishlists our previous game, 1000xRESIST, gained in two years!
we’re so happy to be able to continue making narrative-first games, with the support of players who love them 💖
did you enjoy the music in the !! 85-track !! soundtrack for 1000xRESIST and the melodies you heard in our trailer for Prove You're Human?
if so, read this interview with our composer Drew Redman, where he talks about how he's making magic happen in the studio! 🎶

Listen to the creators of 1000xResist and Slay the Princess
talk about:
+ How to tell a meaningful story about A.I. in 2026
+ Why game makers who find success should put their money where their mouth is, and support other up-and-coming teams
+ Where games are heading next
All that and more for $1!
It's been 23 hours since we and @sunsetvisitor.studio announced Prove You're Human, and it already has over 40,000 wishlists.
People *want* narrative games that tackle difficult and human subject matter, and both of our studios will keep bringing them to you.
Thank you for making this possible!
I'm saving it for the next issue of the magazine, but I had an interview with @remysiu.com and @blacktabbygames.com about Prove You're Human that gave ME a real life existential crisis. Couldn't even have a conversation about this game without reevaluating my sense of self. Very excited for this one

Prove You're Human (sunset visitor 斜陽過客, 2027)
Holy shit what a power bundle.
1000xRESIST is one of the most beautiful and ambitious pieces of art you can experience.
Slay the Princess is wild and melancholy
Scarlet Hollow is one of the most compelling horror and choice-based games I've ever gotten to play
spoke to @sunsetvisitor.studio about the developers' next project Prove You're Human and how it examines the rise of AI and the intersection of work and self

1000xResist tried to capture a truth about the early days of COVID-19. Now, its creators are turning their attention to artificial intelligence. And CAPCHAs. And they talked to @patrickklepek.bsky.social about all of it: remapradio.com/articles/the...
1000xResist was/is one of my favorite games of the past few years. It spoke powerfully to the personal and societal traumas from the early days of COVID-19. Now, they're making a game about AI? Of *course* I had to talk to them about it for @remapradio.bsky.social remapradio.com/articles/the...
Sunset Visitor continue their run of impeccable taste 💪
I was also able to chat with @blacktabbygames.com about the duo's aspirations for their new publishing arm, and the confusing-but-entirely-plausible-in-a-video-game concept of healing the industry by a thousand cuts. Have a read.
Listening to @sunsetvisitor.studio chat about Prove You're Human, and speculative sci-fi influences has me:
A) Very excited to see more of this one
and
B) Feeling like a muppet for still not yet having played 1000xResist despite numerous recommendations

the work being done at sunset visitor inspires me so much. i look back to 1000xRESIST, or ahead to Prove You're Human, and aspire to create something even a fraction as meaningful. it makes me want to write games, even, and i dont know how to do that!! what an incredible studio. i'm there day one.
1000xRESIST and Slay The Princess Devs reveal a team-up for a game that will make players question humanity.
Some of the best writers making games today decided to form a publisher "an hour" after a call: Slay the Princess and 1000xResist devs team up for new sci-fi adventure www.gamesradar.com/games/advent...
Here's my massive interview with Sunset Visitor and Black Tabby Games - where we dive into the AI stories in literature colliding with the state of "AI" in 2026, how the CAPTCHA system is an "act of violence," and the ever ongoing funding for indies issue www.cgmagonline.com/interviews/1...
