Nighthawks is doing... well! It came close to beating our "First Day Of Launch" record. This is a remarkable achievement when you consider that this is on TOP of the thousands of Kickstarter backers who already own the game. So I think we can safely put this in the "success" column for now! Phew!

I'm only a few hours into this one, but yeah, this feels like something carved out of the finest, strongest parts of Vampire Bloodlines, with the cracks filled in with a little bit of Fallen London lacquer. What if Bloodlines was 100% about the cool weird night people and investigations.

Nighthawks has been a labour of love for him and I’m delighted @wadjeteyegames.com have provided a platform for his talents and even more delighted that we’re going to be experiencing the game very soon.

Hey, I'm gonna be speaking at @narrascope.org in Albany in June! I'm delighted to team up with fellow editor Marissa Koors to dig into the hot new trend of having your game edited and how you can get in on the craze. 2026, year of the game editor! Full schedule: narrascope.org/schedule/

Text: The Well-Edited Game: How Professional Editing Elevates Our Medium
Jess Haskins, Marissa Koors
Editing is an integral part of the creative process in traditional media. But in games, editorial responsibilities are scattered across disciplines or skipped altogether. What do game editors actually do? Are editors only for narrative games? How does editing interact with other aspects of production? What should you consider before working with an editor? We’ll demystify the editorial process and make the case for including editors in every game’s development. We’ll break down the different types of editing, highlight successful interventions from past projects, and share why we believe 2026 is the year of the game editor.

My literal favourite thing about running a small studio: we can make things better overnight. - If you found the TR-49 screen uncomfortable to read / focus-on, try the new Reduce Glitches setting; it's significantly crisper / easier to read. - And if you hate helpful games, try Reduce Hints mode.

For me, one thing that made this a great launch was how we teased it, blurring the lines of reality and fiction in the marketing. I'd spent the summer going down the rabbit hole of My Chemical Romance's Black Parade tour & loved the idea of creating a sort of ARG around the game launch.

In TR-49, a record of history is so distorted and revised by language that figuring out the truth becomes a puzzle. Will historians be able to figure out what is happening to us today when we’ve trained ourselves to speak in careful codes? My review. www.polygon.com/tr-49-review/

TR-49 is a harrowing deduction game for a harrowing moment

It's all about cracking codes and unraveling a political mystery.
