While we've gotten affirming feedback on Engine Angel, pitching unfortunately hasn't been successful. As a result, we've had to make the hard decision to lay off five team members. Each of these devs are incredible: if you have a place on your team, or know someone hiring, please keep them in mind!⬇

Fun watch if you haven’t seen it! youtu.be/HCN_JF1kN-g

I was able to spend time with the inspiring, talented, and passionate team behind Bleakwood this weekend at Gamescom LATAM, and I am SO hyped for players to get their hands on their labor of love. Keep an eye on this one. You’ll thank me later!

Floorboards are bathed in red light as if from a door, illuminating the front of a figure on their knees. The figure sits in the centre of a pentagram of candles, arms outstretched, mouth wide and face obscured. The flames from the candles billow in ribbons across the frame. The shadow cast by the figure is demonic with unholy limbs grasping painfully. Small singed cards float in the air around the figure. Text in the shadow reads ‘Malys’. A green banner reads 'Just launched Kickstarter'.

Time to UNLEASH HELL because our Malys Kickstarter is OFFICIALLY LIVE! 🔥

Does that mean Kraven the Hunter is next up?

With so much jadedness and toxic gloom pervading the industry, the optimism and camaraderie of GDC was such a necessary antidote. I witnessed so much creativity, passion, persistence, & kindness over the last 5 days. I’m returning home more excited than ever to support that version of the industry.

In case you’re attending #GDC2025 and do not know about this; if you’re ever feeling unsafe, need assistance, or see something troubling, you can call this 24 hour hotline.

They will listen and assist however possible whether you’re at an official GDC event or simply in San Francisco for the event.

If you’re at GDC next week, come fulfill your power fantasy of wielding an alien-engineered spear/whip/grappling hook/weapon of unimaginable versatility by playing ChainStaff at The MIX!

Congratulations! Very excited to play it.
