    Reminder that I'm mostly over there now. Keeping this account alive to retweet @RedThreadGames…for as long as it lasts!

    This is *amazing*! The Longest Journey 4K remaster, anyone?

    WTF: Evernote’s employees read your private notes in order to “improve machine learning”! Glad I jumped that ship months ago…
    Replying to @joe_hill
    Hi, Joe. We get that not everyone feels the same about machine learning. If you'd prefer, you may opt out. bit.ly/2hs7NEX

    I was recently reminded of this beautiful piece of concept art from our proposed coda to the #TLJ saga. I hope we get to make The Longest Journey Home…at some point. The ideas we have for this game really excite me: aesthetically, mechanically, emotionally and narratively. #tljh

    If you want to see more games from us, please consider paying for Draugen. I know it’s cheaper to steal but every little bit counts, we sustain ourselves on thin margins, and we’d love to keep making games for years to come. Thank you! ❤️
    Before downloading this for “free”, please check our Steam store page. The game isn’t that expensive and might be even cheaper in your territory. We’re a small team without wealthy investors or a big bank account, and every $/€/£ goes directly to paying salaries and our bills.

    The “git gud” people truly represent the worst of gaming. Making a game accessible doesn’t compromise our work or the “creative process”. It simply makes our games more accessible to more people. Everyone wins.

    If you’ve played it and genuinely enjoyed it, please consider leaving a review. The trolls are out in force.
    It is kinda fucked up that bigots are buying Dustborn only to leave shit-and-run reviews and then refund it. Most of the negative reviews on it have play-times of half an hour or less Game's good. Combat's wonky but it's a great talky road-trip adventure store.steampowered.com/app/721180/Dus…

    Another, somewhat related, game we’d LOVE to make is Saga’s Journeys. Saga remains one of my favourite characters from the TLJ/Dreamfall universe; she has such a rich and exciting background…and future. It’d be a shame to not explore that further, in at least one story.

    I’m always surprised by how good Dreamfall still looks, fourteen years later.

    I’ve written the ending to Draugen. In January we record the voice-overs. This thing is coming together. I deserve a glass of red wine. (I’m happier about this script than any script I’ve ever worked on. I don’t know if that’s good or bad.)

    Unboxing the special backers edition of Dreamfall Chapters. Still missing the Wonkers USB key + soundtrack CD (both in production and arriving shortly) but otherwise complete. Looks and feels amazing!

    Funny how having POC & a female protagonist in our game means we’re “attacking” white men. As a group, we must be incredibly insecure.

    Running an indie game dev studio has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy but sometimes it’s worth all the misery and sleepless nights and May 29th will be one of those times and I don’t regret a second of it.
    First-person fjord noir mystery DRAUGEN launches May 29 on Steam and GOG. Wish-list today! draugen.com
