Null exceptions are amazing in that they don't crash Fallen Gods, they just summon chaos. It's like passing into Area X in Annihilation! #gamedev

Adding another wurmskin to the collection and letting Brigita free a fellow maiden -- not a bad deal, even if the fallen god got bane-bitten in the bargain!

Nighthawks has sold TEN THOUSAND copies in less than one week! For a tiny studio like ours, this is a huge milestone. To all the supporters, backers, wishlisters, and everyone who believed in this game and us, thank you so much.

Lux and Becca from Nighthawks, with the text "10,000 copies sold."

Honored to see Primordia there for best story!

Fallen gods like feeble men must live by the maxim "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em," and if you must wear a leash to wield the lash, still it's better than simply fading away. #screenshotsaturday

Racing to rally the jarl and raise his forces to fight Fraener, we're waylaid by Styrbjorn, the great raider of the whale-roads. But, to paraphrase Tony Stark, "We have a 'zerk." #wishlistwednesday

Thank you! Especially coming from Shake, such a sagacious old friend.

"There's no wrong way to play Fallen Gods!" "Okay, then let's make a warband of all woodsmen! It will be like Agincourt!" ... "Umm... now what?" #screenshotsaturday

With all these fighters and a mighty god, I ought to go troll-hunting, toughen 'em all up a bit... what could go possibly wrong? #wishlistwednesday

Before the Overthrow, those who worked the earth welcomed landwights and even worshipped the vǫrðr who watched over farm and field. But that bond was broken long ago... save, perhaps, for a god who wears the Wightweave. #screenshotsaturday

A witch haunts the woodstead of Alfshaw, but in Fallen Gods, one man's fiend is another's friend. #screenshotsaturday

A midwit god is unworthy of a weapon like the Bow of Bones, but it makes a good gift for a woodsman. #wishlistwednesday (a little early)

Almost 26 years after I got paid for writing and designing its scenario, Infinity finally came out and got covered in @gbstudiocentral.com! Thank goodness print isn’t dead. Among my favorite trophies from game dev are the magazines talking about Primordia, Strangeland, Kohan, Torment: TON, etc.

The Táin is one of hundreds of sagas, folktales, myths, legends, historical episodes, and other sources in which the world of Fallen Gods was steeped. With hundreds of events (each with dozens of nodes), a certain omnivorousness with required! #screenshotsaturday

These wolves messed with the wrong warband. Never get between a god and his dinner! #wishlistwednesday

At four separate stages of my life, all four of these games consumed many hours. They're not perfect, but they're sublime. (Mega Man 2 inspired some of my first game design: my friend George and I designed levels, enemy robots, and powerups, dreaming of making an actual game...)

The waiting robot was because it was really important to me to personalize the notion that you can't help/save everyone. It came together with the great music from Nathan, the sprite from Vic, and the VO (I can't remember who recorded the line).

Wormwood Studios @wormwoodstudios.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

I was very proud of those. :) B'sod especially; it came in a flash and it's much better than the other "swears" that have a kind of 80s cartoonish vibe to them (like "RAM and ROM"). Unsurprising since 80s cartoons had a huge influence on me (a line runs He-Man/Orko->TNO/Morte->Horatio/Crispin).

We did Strangeland, and many of the same voice actors worked on other WEG titles (same publisher). There is a coherence to the whole Wadjet catalog, thanks to Dave's guidance, the shared actors, the shared engine, and all of the developers being old school adventure fans.

One of the most important things to me with Primordia was for each philosophy to get a strong advocate, and for every philosophy to have its flaws -- one thing I was really happy with is that people of different beliefs found something in the game that resonated with them.

Honored to read that. It was a joy to write, and the biggest part of the joy is having players connect with the story and characters.

Hi #pitchyagame! Shape your own saga in Fallen Gods, where every choice, every item, every stat, and every follower opens new possibilities and challenges. Meticulously handcrafted content, gorgeous pixels and paintings, fantastic VO and music... the product of 12 years' work.

I have at last given into the suggestions of @dualnames.bsky.social, and will try to start cross-posting here. I find social media more draining than invigorating, but it's worth trying to help connect our games with more folks.

Acabo de terminar Primordia de @wormwoodstudios.bsky.social. Me ha encantado el juego. Tiene muchas soluciones distintas para los puzzles, y a pesar de eso, la que uno decide seguir adelante se siente como la correcta. El pixel art, sobre todo los fondos está precioso. Exc ambientación.
