Metroid Prime 4 looks super polished though, so it is probably still going to be pretty great.

Haha.. Other M was stylistically very far from Metroid Prime, so in some ways it felt less criminal to me.

They added a chatty NPC to Metroid.. But why ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Pokemon Pokopia looks surprisingly great!

Indeed. You choose three heroes and build a 50-card deck (very MTG-like) to take on various quest decks.
Warning: itโ€™s a rabbit hole and can cost you a lot of $$$ if you get hooked ๐Ÿ˜…

Works great for two players, and solo is also fun.

More boxes arriving soon ๐Ÿซ 
There is something about this game that really scratches an itch for me.

We launched Cocoon: Design Works last week & I wanted to highlight a few things, as it's been one of my fav projects to work on! Firstly, shout out to the author @rachelwatts.bsky.social who has done an incredible job compiling hours of interviews & had already written the entire book before launch!

Thank you for playing ๐Ÿ™

My daughter is replaying Alba: A Wildlife Adventure - such an absolutely adorable game!

ICYMI yesterday. The book's already in fantastic shape โ€“ @rachelwatts.bsky.social combines fascinating dev testimony with her own Thinky Games expertise and the result is an elegant, insightful deep dive inside this enigmatic puzzler. And (not on BlueSky) designer Nikki's work here is *beautiful*

Rachel, youโ€™re the best and kindest game journalist whoโ€™s ever interviewed us. Weโ€™re so happy this book is in your hands. ๐Ÿ™

The last 1/3 is probably more like 50% of the play time. Enjoy the rest of the game!

Quick note: I did not "make" limbo and inside, but I worked on them both as head of gameplay (puzzles and stuff) :)

COCOON: Design Works contains about 200 pages of interviews, analysis and an extensive look at the artwork by Erwin Kho.

Really excited about this release ๐Ÿ’ซ

Not currently planned. Would be nice though.
