Game studios are struggling industry-wide, but this one hits hard. Cyan is one of the oldest surviving indie studios, full of incredibly talented world builders. I hope that everyone can land on their feet.

This sounds awesome, hope I can make it! I've been reverse engineering a couple old Mac games - always coveted the Pippin, but never had a chance to play with one

Iโ€™m converting a couple N64 controllers to
Bluetooth using 8BitDo mod kits. Works super well! PSX and GameCube controllers are up next.

Steam Developer: Aleph One Classic Marathon Open Source

I'm playing through some old PC games for design inspiration, and have rediscovered Bungie's original Marathon series. It's still being maintained after 30 years, including a recent Steam release!
