This is sad, this team made Sly Thives in Time and Spyro Reignited (YOTD). I remember when Facebook bought them for VR; this seemed inevitable. VR hype left a lot of casualties, I know lots of devs that got turned upside down by big players forcing the issue. Such a waste of talent and money.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is the first game I've beaten this year and I can't sing its praises enough! Don't sleep on this if you loved Donkey Kong Country anywhere near as much as I did.

I really wish music libraries, games systems or any other digital catalogue had a ‘sort by random’. Most recent played, purchased or alphabetical isn’t super useful when you are not sure what to play but know you have great stuff at your disposal. Same list but random order would really help.

Little something I've been making as a hobby project. Been wanting to learn GB Studio, and decided to do a Rextro demake at the same time. Only a demo, but I'm happy with the results. Again. Only a hobby project, and in no way an official @playtonicgames.com product.

The greatest art in the world is the stuff you assumed was impossible and then somone makes it look effortless. Something being hard to pull off doesn’t make it not worth pursuing. Not all things things worth making are an easy ride. LONG LIVE 3D PLATFORMERS

Sadly Playtonic has let go of a number of staff this week. Daley deserves your attention. She spearheaded some very exciting features on unannounced projects and it was great seeing her take like a duck to water when she transitioned to design. Get her in the interview room!
