As a long time fan, I would have loved to work on this, but oh well... Looking forward to playing it anyway.

Die or Die is a very fun (and hard!) game, with elements of strategy that remind me of the brilliant Dicey Dungeon. Well worth checking out. There's a free demo available on Steam.

Allez, et maintenant je propose une loi qui interdise d'appeler « Intelligence quelque chose » tout ce qui ne contiendrait pas de vraie intelligence.

Quelle triste trajectoire. Pendulo y a 25 ans c'était pour moi un studio de héros.

As Peter Gabriel famously said, deadlines are things that we pass on our way to completion. 👍

Eh oui, quelle tristesse... Seule (maigre) consolation, on pourra avoir la fierté de se dire qu'on a traduit tous leurs jeux en français, textes et voix (à part les deux premiers qui n'ont jamais été traduits). Une belle aventure qui a tissé des liens qui perdureront malgré tout.

Pas tant que ça, vu qu'ils étaient en train de travailler sur un nouveau gros projet, mais l'éditeur s'est retiré à mi-parcours.

This week, our team made a tough decision: we decided to delay Mina the Hollower. The entire crew has been working tirelessly day and night to finish development for release on Oct 31st, but we’re just not quite there yet.

Franchement, les musiques de Robert Holmes sont impériales : les trois Gabriel Knight, Gray Matter, et même Moebius. Le thème principal de GK3, c'est fabuleux... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9skS...

Today, we’re starting our signing tour around France and Belgium to celebrate the release of Tokyo Mystery Café vol.2.
We’re looking forward to seeing you. 😊

Well, someone who reads credits, that's refreshing for a change. 😁 I hope the translations were to your taste!

Not that I know of. The Lucas Learning titles were not very successful in France (though I remember Pit Droids being really fun).

Thanks! We did work on quite a few LucasArts games (not all, though) when they were distributed in France by Ubisoft.

Note that the story has been transposed to the 1970s, and that explains this unusual choice. 😀

This game was love at first sight for us as soon as we saw some screenshots, and it didn't disappoint. Replayed the demo today with my daughter, we can't wait to discover the rest of the story. 👍

Woodo on Steam Woodo feels like a 3D coloring book you can touch, a relaxing tale told through handcrafted wooden dioramas. No pressure, just a cozy world that remembers what it felt like to be a child.

Go try the demo now on Steam, available in French, Spanish, Korean and a few other languages: store.steampowered.com/app/2572040/...

Couldn't be happier to be part of this project, which is not only beyond adorable, but also a very personnal game for @juliaprokhorova.bsky.social, thanks for the wonderful team at @daedalic.bsky.social.

C'est triste, car la qualité des leçons est vraiment devenue pitoyable. Beaucoup de monde autour du moi a arrêté au cours des derniers mois. Après, pas évident de trouver une alternative qui soit vraiment satisfaisante.

A brilliant and surprisingly deep puzzle game, with tons of options to adjust gameplay to your preferences, from fast and furious to a more reflection-oriented experience. An impressive amount of content has been added since its release in 2021, well worth checking out even if you tried it before.

Yes, I realise there are many factors that need to be taken into account. It's just that working on a WEG has been a dream of mine for so long. 😆 In any case, thanks for keeping the flame of point & click alive and keep up the good work! 👍

I was just wondering, since independent point & clicks with similar review counts like Slender Threads or Asylum were able to afford multiple languages at release. Then again, maybe Old Skies has a much larger wordcount than these titles.
