But what about bad gorillas?
Two of my favorite games of the year were Rosewater and Old Skies and they both absolutely got A+ performances from the cast. A ton goes into that and I think there's a lot for creators to learn from both games!
Oh you. Thank you!
I could swear I started this thing, like, last week.
Ooh always happy to hear from fellow NYC devs! I donβt live there anymore but I will always consider myself a New Yorker.
Iβm always down for that! Feel free to DM me.
I am looking forward to playing this. I just put it on my steam wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3979770/...
(I haven't gone wrong with any game published by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social.)
15 years ago I was stuck in another country, living at a hotel room for months, doing a company project all by myself with a crappy laptop. The Blackwell Trilogy literally saved my sanity and opened up a new world for me. I've played every one of your games ever since. Thank you!!
Oh good gosh. Thatβs so gratifying to hear. Seriously. Thank you.
Not at GDC this year, but this is the 20th anniversary of Wadjet Eye and Iβm always down to chat about how insane that is.
I expected Gilt to at least *look* good, but itβs astounding how great the design, writing and gameplay are shaping up.
Also be prepared for a slew of puns involving the word βguiltβ from now till launch. If we donβt do it, every article about it will.

Happy Internal Womenβs Day from this lightly depressed International woman!

This week's recommended game is Old Skies, a fantastic modern point and click-style adventure from @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social.
Longtime followers know I loved this game when I played it last year and recommend it all the time.
So, check out this episode to find out why!
Playing through a beta chunk of Gilt and not for the first time this month, griping about how disgustingly multitalented @threeohfour.bsky.social is.

Folks have been testing the first chapter of Gilt this week. Lots of really great feedback. I added a couple of scenes, too. Hereβs one I painted on Wednesday. Iβm so happy to see people really connecting with the project and enjoying my strange ideas.
I mean, by this point I'd better be.
Just read the article. Thank you so much!
Not quite the manhattan skyline but I suppose itβll do.
First warmish night since we moved to the new house, so Iβm watching the sunset from the porch. Also: we have a porch.
Oh thank you! π
I think we really need to be prepared for somebody to decide to strike back at the US for all the heinous things our leadership has been doing without our consent, and like, it wouldn't even be surprising, it'd just be upsetting that it's happening at all and we didn't agree to any of it.
Awesome news for a great adventure game!
I thought Old Skies had an amazing story and a neat world-weary time travel sci-fi premise.
The chapter where you're in New York on Sept 10, 2001 knowing (as Fia and the player) what will happen the next day is an incredible choice for an adventure game!
Old Skies is winning a bunch of awards right now (just took Best Story at the Adventure Game Hotshots, for example), and if you haven't played it, you should, even if you're picky about point-and-click adventures. It's really pretty special within this genre.

Not quite! That would be Unavowed, but it's a close second.
Old Skies has won TWO Adventure Game Hotshot awards, in the categories of βBest Storyβ and βBest Sci Fiβ. Thank you so much, @aghotspot.bsky.social!
Haha. It may be awhile before we are ready to do more VO but feel free to audition when the time comes!

Self-depreciation is my self-love language.
That said I believe there is some drama that Iβm unaware of, so I may be missing some context.
