As the dust is settling, let me just reiterate how PROUD I am of our little team and our little Knightling💗 For more than 5 years I lived in this world, writing the stories of the characters within, and now finally everyone gets to visit!✨😭

Played through TOEM 2 last week, what a lovely little game, just like the first one. Very polished, funny scenarios and the music has been gracing our living room for days already!

Had a great time with Absolum, cool unique blend of genres! I struggled for a long time with the first area but after deciding to tune down the difficulty a bit, I had a blast seeing the rest of it. Recommend!

The Knightling for five bucks is a crazy deal y’all 🛡️

The Knightling, an open world 3D Zelda-like I gave a 10 last year, is on a massive sale at the moment. Great puzzles, snappy combat and a heartfelt narrative. Its mesmerizing soundtrack is one I still listen to. You won't regret it.

oh my god "...Helgason replied, “Sure, this kind of democratization means that there will be some, or maybe quite a lot of games made that are very similar, without a lot of originality or vision – but then again that’s already the current state of the industry anyway.”"

Been very happy with this so far - given that most people on our team have been with us since the start or the start of their career, we run the risk of not mixing in fresh new ideas from outside enough, as we don't hire often. So this has been a great way to do just that!

Thank you @rystorm.com for coming and talking to us for our studio's September Lunch and Learn! We learned so much from the tools design masterclass and appreciate your time to answer our questions and help us improve our workflows. 👍

Important PSA from us at Nintendo of America. Shigeru Miyamoto, head producer of titles in the Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda series, was found to have been turned into a cocoon, with a note from him attached to the outside. "This is Miyamoto. In just 9 months I will be a beautiful Miyamoth."

Since it's our little game's birthday, our artists will be doing art drops throughout the month! First up, we have environment artist Lotte, who created everyone's favorite cosmetic superstore, the Tailor shop!
