still unreasonably upset that the android photo editor changed their magic eraser algorithm from running locally on the phone + working great to requiring a server call + rarely functioning

Oh?!!!! #StarWars Zero Company

bit reactor
This week, we started the process of returning more of our team back to work at Bit Reactor, an important step forward in our continued support for Zero Company.
Having to ask team members to step away after we navigated unexpected business developments outside of our control and so close to launch was an incredibly difficult decision, but one that was necessary to help us eventually bring as many people back as possible.
This team means a tremendous amount to me, and l am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together. Thank you to our fans for the incredible response to the game and for supporting us along this journey. We look forward to sharing more updates regarding Bit Reactor and Zero Company soon.
Greg Foertsch
CEO, Bit Reactors

Two-Toed Tom needed a full orchestra to make his jump scares even more terrifying. So, we recorded South of Midnight’s OST with the London Contemporary Orchestra. Honestly? Worth it. 🐊🎶 #SouthOfMidnight #CompulsionGames #BehindTheScenes #GameDev #Orchestra

I wasn't sure I was gonna like it - Dead Cells got a little too grindy too fast for my liking. but this was a really great streamlined experience! and I especially liked the addition of the Spelunky-esque item carry quests, which didn't overstay their welcome and had nice narrative payoff

I started the Rogue Prince of Persia this last week in preparation for the new Castlevania game and just rolled credits on it it's really good! cute little roguelike, nice meta-progression through the areas, really fluid and fun gameplay. got me even more excited to play Belmont's Curse!

and it's kinda cool they have an original oompa loompa from the movie 50 years ago! but never would I have guessed it's a social game, encouraging the worst kinds of human behavior, "hosted" by an AI voice fake of the late Gene Wilder. bleh
