I'm delighted that we can finally talk about our partnership with @lostincult.co.uk to bring @blakemanorgame.bsky.social to physical on PS5 and Switch 2. We had a lot of fun designed the new covers. Pre-Order here: www.lostincult.co.uk/shop/p/blake...
The EDITIONS bundles includes an essay and dev interview booklet, poster and sticker, 4 art cards, Director’s authenticity card and a variant game cover as well as a copy of the game on PS5.

I'm begging Steam to quit doing these rug pulls on devs every couple of months that significantly change core parts of their storefront.

Occasionally we get asked why there isn’t a physical edition of Loco Motive, and all I can say is: we’ve tried a bunch of times with a few partners, and more than once now, the discussions have ended with us getting ghosted. It would be a cool thing, but sometimes the metrics don't line up.

Steam's morality department is working day and night to protect us from such depraved activities, and for that we must thank them.

Steam is deliberately de-listing a sexy vampire RPG, and the people aren't currently rioting? if this platform has any reach whatsoever people should be up in arms.

Looks like our historical discount finally exposed Loco Motive to the fascists? 👀 A reminder to leave a review if you enjoyed the game, as it’s the only real way a developer can offset these!

I guess they're just letting AI grifters run Steam festivals now? I can't imagine anyone with a shred of integrity (if not basic PR skills) would want to associate their game with a slop fest.
An email from a slop lover that reads:

"Hi Robust Games,

As a game developer, I want to invite you to the first AI Gaming Conference taking place virtually this month starting September 10th. We're in an era where game prototypes are made in 2 days, playable builds within 2 weeks, a demo in 1 month, and a Steam launch in 3 months. And we're showing developers how!

The festival is showcasing nearly 300 games that have used AI in their development process, across both Steam and Glitch, along with talks and workshops from high-profile speakers such as:

    Game Directors from well-known titles like Assassin's Creed and Fortnite
    VCs and game developers that have raised millions for their studios
    Top game engines like Unity presenting AI-optimized workflows
    AI experts from Zynga and Take-Two Interactive
    Marketers who use AI to get their games into the Top 5 on Steam Next Fest and reach 100K wishlists
    And more talks

Two links for the festival:

    Festival's Main Games Page
    Festival's Speaker/Workshop Schedule

We will also have a networking and jobs area for people looking for part-time gigs, collaborations, or full-time employment to connect during the month-long festival.

Looking forward to potentially seeing you there!

Best,

Glitch Team"

Adam Riches @supernorn.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Bluesky is predictably hiding a lot of the responses to this, so I'll just quote that this post sucks ass, is a disservice to developers who aren't using Gen-AI, and Eurogamer *should* know better than this.

I’m not sure why you’re giving a pass to this game's use of AI. What a disservice to those of us who actually make games with human effort.

Had to confirm this was real, but I kinda think it’s great that they clearly don’t give a shit about this IP and are just throwing all this bullshit into it. I respect the hubris on some level over making a very boring, safe remake. I think it’ll be a way worse video game for it, though.

Good to know! I loved Mistria, and it inspired us to prototype something in the cosy game genre for a few months. We ultimately reached the same conclusion - the amount of time, money and resources required to reach expectations / parity with these titles would be insurmountable for a small team.
