UK based indie game devs, est. 2002. Our most recent release is Welcome To Basingstoke, published by Thalamus Digital - out now on PlayStation 5! More info: puppygames.net/basingstoke Press: thalamusdigital.co.uk/basingstoke-press-kit
it was a real eye-opener back when we started making "retro games" and did a load of research by playing all those old games that we loved at the time just how crap most of them were... though tbh this was largely due to the coin-op mindset that they sprouted from in the first place
Me and @lincodega.com are a stretch goal for this. hope it hits. It’s my folk horror tom bombadil incursion.
We are/have been in exactly the same boat. Basingstoke, our most ambitious project, with about 2 decades of development thrown into it, sank without trace. We've put about 40 man-years into Battledroid so far and it's still not released.
O EMPIRE! WARD OFF THY ROT

Still listening to Aphex Twin ... probably be studied like Mozart in 200 years. The collapse of civilisation notwithstanding.

Have been playing Utopia Must Fall. If you look at this game and think it looks cool and you'd like it then I'm pretty sure you will because it is well-made and really fun.

like ... books
"In the papery tones of a thousand-year-old corpse, the withered liche intoned, 'Eat the poor.'"
Tried that with #Basingstoke but unfortunately it didn't work :(
"We've come on holiday by mistake"
In which we talk about progress.

I've seen this raised a couple of times, so I'll address it here because I think it's interesting design chat: why is there no 'click to walk' in Earth Must Die?
One thing I'm very proud of at Size Five is giving you experiences you've never had before. The games industry is SO same-y already.
old wartime style poster with a man with a hand over his mouth. The text read "Did you see a bug in my game? No! You fucking didn't. I am very tired. If it's a big one, email me quietly and I'll have it fixed within a day dan@sizefivegames.com"
EMD has been through MEGA amounts of extremely thorough-and-boring QA, but on the off chance:
As a point of note: this is good etiquette for ANY bugs you find in games, which might be funny or trivial to you, but are always a HARROWING DISASTER to hear about for the devs.
A quiet email rather than a post over social media is always much appreciated. Keeps issues pleasantly hush-hush.
A new game site that doesn't had adverts or affiliate links and loads SO QUICKLY is deeply, deeply welcome.
A new gold standard and/ or a return to the internet of old, I'm into it.

TR-49 is our best launch, ever, in 14 years.
I admit I'm surprised! Made in 9 months, mostly as an experiment to learn Godot, and an excuse to play with some actors. (And for me to do some acting.)
One thing I think IS cool: it's a "one-sitting" game. 4 hours; $7. No commitment required.
Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.

Raquel is a brilliant, friendly, hugely-talented artist and deserves to be snapped up quickly.

We are still a bit baffled by the concept of "competition" between game development studios
