Thank you. I move on so quickly after releasing a game, so it's nice to be reminded that the game made an impact 😀

Behind Cairn's Rock-Solid Sound - with Martin Stig Andersen and Lukas Julian Lentz | A Sound Effect
Ever want to climb a mountain, but lack the training and gear? There's a climbing simulation game that offers a thrilling experience from the safety of Audio Director Martin Stig Andersen and Lead Sound Designer Lukas Julian Lentz made climbing adventure game 'Cairn' (developed and published by The Game Bakers) an exhilarating sonic experience. Find out what sound they used to represent the 'voice of the mountain,' why the foley team at Skywalker Sound needed a mini excavator for their work on Cairn, what pinecones have to do with ice climbing sounds, who vocally performed all of the bird sounds, what Climbot and airplanes have in common, and so much more!

Beat Cocoon. One of the most visually stunning and fun puzzle games I have ever played. 😊 Super satisfying to figure out puzzles and the whole atmosphere felt so unique and alien. Would definitely recommend if you enjoy puzzle games. 😃

I love the wiimote gameplay 😘 Galaxy is "linear Mario" and if that is not your jam, totally understandable. I think it does everything it sets out to do perfectly and it barely aged a day. I wonder if they will do a MG3 and if it will be a more open planet hopping approach, could be interesting.

Mario Galaxy is still a 10/10.

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.

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: it’s a rabbit hole and can cost you a lot of $$$ if you get hooked 😅 Works great for two players, and solo is also fun.

More boxes arriving soon 🫠 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!

ICYMI yesterday. The book's already in fantastic shape – @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*

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) :)
