“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev

If you haven't seen it and want a fascinating peek into the always calm, serene world of game development give it a watch!

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us

Stacking's 15 anniversary sharing continues! Today I'm sharing the Game Design Document I wrote for that game, all those years ago, which was part of our pre-production deliverables. You can download the PDF here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8jk0e...

The ABIDE KickStarter is now LIVE! Stop motion horror the likes of which have never been seen before! Back now and be involved with something very cool. www.kickstarter.com/projects/637...

My 2025 talk 'Gyms, Zoos, and Museums: Your documentation should be in-game' is now also available in text format, for those who like to read instead of watch: rystorm.com/blog/gyms-zo... And if you haven't seen it yet, there is an all new video too, with bonus material on the history of Zoos!

A GDC poll has found that 31% of responding international developers have cancelled plans to attend the event this year, with a further 33% considering it, because people just don't feel safe travelling to the United States right now: aftermath.site/i-do-not-feel-...

PC games giant Valve has been told it has to face a £656 million lawsuit in the UK, which claims the Steam giant's revenue share is too high and negatively impacts consumers. www.gamesindustry.biz/valve-to-fac...

We want your games! Black folks making games, we want to see and share your dope trailers for your upcoming releases! OR some developer commentary over gameplay. Only requirements are - game must not be out (or released in the last few weeks) AND footage must be dope.

Wrote a little about this for @artreview.bsky.social at the time of the game's release. artreview.com/when-microso...

Everything is understood and presented through the lenses of capitalism and consumption so "nature" stands for "exploiting nature".

NEW VIDEO Last year, Steam banned Vile: Exhumed, a twisted horror experience that pulls no punches, and one of my favourites of 2025. Here's why I loved the game, and why it was wrong of Steam to ban it (and other titles too...) youtu.be/c-qaFjqJuQ4

Today's the last day game designers in the Netherlands can send in an application to work on the Hidden Folks Universe! hiddenfolks.com/job-opening/... Some tips based on the applications so far: - be in NL - don't be a minor (we had 1 lol) - don't say HF seemed inspired by a game that cloned ~us~

Wooo! The world shall taste our pots!!! I mean, YOUR pots.

HORSES was nominated for the Grand Prize and Nuovo Award at the 2026 Independent Games Festival! What a great opportunity to give shoutouts to the incredible talent that made this production possible. Check out the following posts to find out who they are, and what else they worked on! Thread:

Please do not confuse Horses 2025 (2026) with HORSES (2025).

this highlights such a big “issue” in games: a shallowness that is comfortable and thoughtless and which has almost entirely drowned out experiences that are thoughtful.

games, with their ability to make you any type of guy, are really good at this, honestly. I'm the furthest thing there is from a Games For Change sorta gal, but I *do* think one of the best inoculations against being an oppressor is knowing how easily you *could* be one, and games can nail that.

The problem is not that there aren't enough games about shooting nazis, the problem is that there aren't enough games about why it's important to do so.

need a localization editor/proofreader/consultant? here's some stuff i've done adaptation work on, from just basic grammar tweaks to deep story consulting. DM me or hit me up through the form on my website ayshaufarah.com

Why censor Horses when two stylists (?) can do this and even get applauded? I find it much more disturbing. @santaragione.com

When provocative horror game Horses was banned from sale on Steam and the Epic Game Store late last year, it nearly led to the closure of acclaimed Italian studio Santa Ragione - denied, as it was, access to some of the world's largest paying game audiences. https://bit.ly/45hWk49

It's time we bring back Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment.

Pathologic 3 is OUT NOW! 👉 bit.ly/4afLvTA Every minute counts. Save them all, discover the secrets of immortality... don't go mad in the process.

"We as a company are always ready to take a stand on the right values" - GOG says selling indie game Horses when Steam and Epic wouldn't was "a matter of freedom" www.eurogamer.net/gog-says-sel...

There are many more wonderful people that worked on HORSES! Find out more about the team and their work on www.mobygames.com/game/251019/..., currently the only hyperlinked source for game credits!

Santa Ragione co-founder Nicolò Tedeschi @niguloto.bsky.social designed the HORSES logo, realized with a precision-cut stencil which was hand-brushed in and digitized. Nicolò was the art director for Wheels of Aurelia, and co-directed MirrorMoon EP and FOTONICA.

Guido Zoppi drew the game’s key art, used for the cover and all marketing materials. An exceptional digital AND traditional illustrator, with unmistakable style and recurring motifs. He drew the dynamic title screen in FOTONICA too! See more of his work on www.instagram.com/guidozoppizo...

Alberto Putignano implemented all UI systems, including support for superimposed translations on 3D elements, in addition to the game’s dialogue, options, menus, saves, and credits. He’s previously worked on fantastic digital board game adaptations with @horribleguild.bsky.social

Stefano Sanitate @stefanosanitate.bsky.social masterfully refactored all interactions and systems drafted by Andrea, helping streamline gameplay, on top of implementing the most intricate sequences from scratch. Before, he directed Saturnalia’s gameplay programming in the 2nd half of development.

Malindy Hetfeld @yourkyotowife.bsky.social joined as a consultant for meaning and interpretation for international audiences. She produced priceless documentation on all critical imagery and symbolism in HORSES. She's also a talented writer and narrative designer: www.notion.so/malindysport...

Flaminia Grimaldi @sunkenlola.bsky.social contributed additional 3D art and stage design. You know her work from 2021 IGF Excellence in Art nominee JETT: The Far Shore, on which she acted as Lead Environment Artist. Previously, Flaminia researched and modeled all environments in Wheels of Aurelia.

Julián Palacios @yulelepalacios.bsky.social did vegetation, environment lighting and effects. You’ve seen his stunning work in Promesa and Cuccchi, BOTH finalists for the IGF Nuovo Award (2020 and 2022, respectively). All his games have truly impeccable art direction: julian-palacios.itch.io

Environment props, all interiors and their set dressing are by the amazing Andrea Cedraro, who is an eclectic digital sculptor, illustrator, and stage designer. Previously, Andrea also worked on 3D art for Julián Palacios' Promesa. You can see more of his work here: www.instagram.com/cedroart/

Nicolo Sala composed the OST, and arranged the ending hymn based on Andrea’s humming. Nicolò has written music for our games since the incredible FOTONICA soundtrack. E.g. Saturnalia’s main theme, adapted from a XVI century Italian folk song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAih...

Matteo Pozzi worked on the Italian adaptation, adding Berlusconi-era speech patterns to the farmer's voice, which were then back-translated by Arden. He previously wrote Wheels of Aurelia with Claudia at @wearemuesli.bsky.social. Check out their incredible portfolio of games: wearemuesli.it

Arden Ripley @arden.rip reviewed and wonderfully edited the game’s script. Arden was also the editor on 2023 IGF Excellence in Narrative winner Mediterranea Inferno, and they have worked on a myriad of incredible games, including the recently released Pathologic 3: www.arden.rip

HORSES was written and directed by Andrea Lucco Borlera. This is his first game, as he previously studied cinema and directed short films, and he now teaches audiovisual disciplines. Creatives who come from different disciplines seem to have a much greater sense of freedom in what games can tackle!
