"Why are younger players gravitating toward retro titles - and how should studios respond to this trend?"
Heroes III is the top-selling retro game on GOG... and almost half of buyers are under the age of 25.
GOG's theory: for younger generations that grew up with Minecraft and Roblox, graphical/technical fidelity *does not matter*, which is a huge market shift #GDC2026
Would a 16x16 character be too small for a game that is 320x180 stretched to 1080p to anyone? #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gamedev
Depends.

Some of it just comes down to retailers (and Nintendo) underestimating demand.
It wasn’t until the past couple of weeks or so that people started catching on this would be big, big.

Side note, as predicted, it turns out key cards don’t matter that much when the new game is good.
Can confirm.
Retail version selling out, digital version seeing strong uptake. Switch 2 hardware sales already seeing a boost at online retailers.
Nintendo have a hit here.

How flattering :^)
I happened to be in downtown SF today, so I tried stopping by the Superhuman AI office to ask about the AI “editor” based on me. Unfortunately just got a very nice office manager who said no one was in.
Lots of games people in Grammarly’s pool too besides me…
Cool. What engine is this made in, if you don’t mind me asking?

Made a #pixelart environment inspired by the canceled game Crash Landed. I also included the reference image.

We didn't realize that our size-based inventory system wouldn't be intuitive to all players. Watching people play and then asking questions is such an important step!
Current fix: better tutorialization, icon next to pick-up prompt, and better Ui :)

Guess even the more-or-less reputable sites are now at a point where they just take unverified info from unsourced articles and push out articles.
What a brave new world this is.
