A distressed, vintage-style postcard lying on dusty ground. The postcard shows a desert landscape with tall rock formations under a blue sky. Large retro lettering reads “Greetings from THE BAD LANDS,” with each letter filled with desert imagery. The card is smudged, scratched, and splattered with dark red blood, especially along the lower-right corner.

Unfortunately, we weren't able to secure funding — publishers told us "there's no market for turn-based RPGs" — and so we went back to the drawing board and came back with a VERY different game, in a VERY similar setting. So what was The Bad Lands all about? I'll share more…soon! (2/2)

A cracked road surface with a wide yellow center stripe. The words “THE BAD LANDS” are printed across the stripe. Blood splatters and smears cover the cracks, pooling near the bottom. A pale human hand lies at the lower right, partly covered in blood. The Red Thread Games logo sits in the bottom-right corner.

Before Dustborn there was THE BAD LANDS — a post-apocalyptic American road-trip, featuring a ragtag crew with special powers. And if that sounds familiar…you're absolutely right! TBL was a fixed-camera, turn-based RPG with a comic-book art style. (1/2)

One of the many things worth thinking about re: Steam's ban on Horses is how it highlights is the centralization problem caused by having such a monolithic (and maybe mono-something-else) retail giant.

Independent studios with even humble commercial aspirations are chained to Valve's whims.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

2-panel comic about two guys lamenting about modern games whilst refusing to acknowledge indie games

A soft, painterly comic-book panel from Dreamfall Chapters' Tome of the Balance. A small child leans over the side of a wooden crib, reaching toward Wonkers, a plush robotic monkey who is floating through the air in front of a sunlit window. Wonkers’ purple fur and friendly, rounded face contrast with the warm beige tones of the room. The child stretches out a hand, eyes wide with curiosity.

If we ever make Dreamfall Chapters: Book Six, it probably begins right here.

No one told me about #Dustborn!
Mystery, intrigue, Nazis, mutants, cyberpunk, liberals, underground, noir, butts, robots, punk rock! This should be flying off the shelf!

I’m biased but I’d say it’s definitely worth that price. GOG lets anyone review games without having bought or played them — the people who actually play Dustborn generally seem to enjoy it!

I bought Dustborn in the sales for £3.99. What sold me on the game was the bad reviews, like when people cry "woke" and get triggered by Pronouns, then you know it has to be a pretty good game.

Eternal Strands and Forspoken are on this list and I actually liked both of them a lot. I especially reccomend Eternal Strands due to the character interactions and romance system.

Fuck it go play Dustborn as well!

Ahora mismo está en Xbox por sólo 5,99 euros DUSTBORN, un juego muy interesante con historia densa de tomar muchas decisiones que no tuvo el impacto que merecía. Va de un grupo con poderes perseguido en un mundo totalitario, un poco en plan X-Men/Logan. Os lo recomiendo

Based on what the dev studio is saying about their game, this is deeply troubling and a reminder that monopolies are bad for both business and art. Maybe there’s another side to this story, but even if there is, those of us who make a living from Steam have good reasons to be concerned.

All game trailer editors are Padme 😂

A four-panel meme using the Star Wars “Anakin and Padmé in the meadow” template. Anakin says “It works in the editor.” Padmé, smiling, asks “And in the build?” Anakin just stares at her. In the final panel, Padmé’s smile drops as she asks, “It works in the build, right?”

I am Padmé. #gamedevelopment

For the record, we're not currently working on a sequel to Dustborn. Our slate is full for the next couple of years — but I would love to return to the universe, and hopefully make a game that finds a broader audience, without compromising on our message of inclusion and diversity.

A woman in a bright blue costume and matching blue wig sits in front of shelves filled with retro video game boxes. She’s wearing a blue cap with an orange trim and a gold star emblem. She looks annoyed or incredulous as yellow text on the video reads: “They’re seriously making Dustborn two?”. A microphone is visible in the corner, and the YouTube interface shows the creator name “LadyDecade” and a video title about Dustborn 2 being the “Worst Game of 2024 Getting a Sequel!?”.

Rage-bait peddlers need Dustborn more than our fans do.

A screenshot of an X post. The post says: “it’s weird how when you visit the dustborn steam page you’ll see mostly positive reviews but then you look at the top rated ones and there’s not a single positive review there.” Below the text is the Dustborn Steam artwork.

They are SO close to getting it.

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks

Try Dustborn y'all !!! 🫵🙏❤️💖

Had to reupload because I forgot to change the date.

Dustborn is currently ON SALE for the Xbox Series!

THIS GAME IS NOT MADE FOR PEOPLE WITH LOW ATTENTION SPANS (pls do try it tho) - Flowerbed

your playing a queer ghostbuster with superpowers, along with rockband music stages every once in awhile and telltale-esque storytelling. I think that's just great. - AmiTheRobot

This is the kind of game you either hate or love. I am team love. - Comrade commitment

Yeah it's too "WOKE" for it's own good but like so am i so it works out. - andromedawillbehere

Dustborn is sitting at 75% positive reviews on Steam (thank you!) — here are some of our favourites ✨
