YOU NEED TO START PLAYING UGLY GAMES
Lately I have noticed how more and more games are opting for a more -let’s call it rough- aesthetic over the more polished and hyper realistic graphics of triple A games. There are games like Big Walk or Peak that go for a nice mix of semi realistic and goofy cartoony graphics. And then… There…

HOW TO START YOUR INDIE GAME PROJECT. THE RIGHT WAY.
It has never been easier to create your own video game. Now hearing that might have immediately made you think of a good dozens of reasons why it doesn’t feel that way. But alas, even though you and I might want to argue against the point, it’s true. With a decent enough computer and an…

SONY GAVE US CONCORD LIKE A CAT BRINGS YOU A DEAD BIRD

YOU DID IT ZELDA. I CARE ABOUT YOUR OPEN WORLD.
The new Zelda Tears of the Kingdom just came out, and after both happily and begrudgingly giving Nintendo $70 dollars, I’m amazed at this game’s huge scale.

Crunch. Not the sound you make when munching on some crispy chips late at night wondering if the noise you’re making is going to wake up the whole neighborhood, but the act in which a developer or creator enters a state of intense working hours and sleep deprivation, while coincidentally also munching on chips late…
