If over 22000 white kids in the west were killed, you bet your ass something would be done about it and celebrities would speak out. Yes I’m angry, no I don’t care if yelling about a genocide loses me followers! We all have a DUTY to not be weak ass cowards and to speak out about genocide!!

I don't want to be nostalgic anymore. I'm tired of being catered to. I don't want to forever hear the same artistic voices I heard in my youth, now amplified, slowed and reverbed for dramatic effect. I want new worlds. I want new stories. I want new voices. Please!

Hi folks. My personal statement about our team and Eyes of Hellfire cancellation (alt text included). And Blumhouse's statement: store.steampowered.com/news/app/172...
Folks probably noticed “Looking for work” in my profile for the past 6 months. I loved the Gambrinous team and loved working with them every day. As detailed here https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1724030/view/672869678795719129?l=english, Blumhouse Games decided to wind down development on Eyes of Hellfire, which sadly means no additional content will be released for our award-winning game. Blumhouse helped fund the development of our game to a scale we couldn’t have managed alone.

We were an exceptional development team that always delivered on time and exceeded expectations. I am very proud that we shipped Eyes of Hellfire into Early Access, but admittedly, I am devastated to not be working on it any longer. Its potential as a unique gothic horror, friction and card-based co-op within an Irish setting was immense. Our four Imirt Irish Game Awards 2026, including wins for Best Audio and Best Art Direction and runners up in Best Game Design and Game of the Year, reflect that.

When I wrote “And that’s it” inside our Steam update for December 2025, it was really bittersweet. For me, that was it, and it was something that I was so aware of.

I would work with any member of Gambrinous again in a heartbeat, and it is a loss to disband such a talented gathering of exceptional developers. What a pleasure to work with them. They are an asset to any team. The games industry is hard, we know it is, and the market is even harder.

Thank you to everyone who hyped Eyes of Hellfire and to all the positive reviews and feedback. It remains a great Early Access title, and I am so proud of what we achieved. I’m just also still quite sad, but this too shall pass.

A "piece that was killed" is something we hear over and over again working with press promoting Dreams on a Pillow, not just now but across the years. In some cases the content had been fully written & was pulled right before or even after publishing. In others, it never was allowed past concept.

'Sup y'all! We've got something to show to a limited few of you. How we're describing it for the moment is: a "pain-of-the-past" point & click mystery with a verb-based interface. Does that sound interesting to you? Do you want an early say on the direction of the project? If so, then drop us a dm!

Hey folks, my husband possibly left or had his Steamdeck robbed on the L89 #Dublin Bus. The bus left Broombridge around 15.50 (the SD is at least password locked). If anyone knows anything let us know. Ringing Dublin Bus in the morning on the chance someone handed it in instead of robbed it :/

i think one of my biggest problems with genAI is that it's not empowering. in fact it's doing the opposite of them; it's removing critical thought and essentially taking power from us. our brains are so valuable, why would we want to lose that?
