I'd love some bigger studios to make their famous IP's in their original/older art styles/fidelity and treat it the same as any other big release. Imagine Nintendo releasing a new Mario that looks like the 64 version. Or a new Resident Evil with OG style.

This is what reliable growth looks like. No drama, no trend chasing, just making my little jokes about Swords and generally gaining more support than I lose quarter-to-quarter.

One of the most underrated indie duos out there is making its 3rd game in as many years: An 'extreme stop motion horror' project that promises to be 'grossly fun but also stomach-churningly appalling'
Made almost entirely out of clay.
