Happy Halloween, Believers! I’ve just finished Roger Zelazny’s A Night In The Lonesome October and highly recommend it if you’re in the market for some spooky All Hallow’s escapism from a world-class author who’s putting his feet up and drinking a big glass of goth. This sprint we released a bunch of new stuff to Read more
First things first: an announcement! We released simplified Chinese last month, which was an extremely weird but also wonderful experience. Once we’ve a few months of data I’ll write a deep-dive into the numbers, but for now, we have another long-awaited localisation to announce: RUSSIAN. Russian will first go live in an opt-in Steam beta Read more
“Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all,” said Ernest Shackleton, somewhere between Antarctic triumph and dying in South Georgia of an alcohol-induced heart attack. I wonder which end of that spectrum I’ll end up on? I’ve always had a thing for cold, heroic exploration. Whether it’s a first-hand account of Scott’s final expedition to Read more
Update 16/01/2020: I stand by everything I’ve said below, but for a summary of cancel culture that’s 8000000 times better than anything I could produce, take a look at ContraPoint’s ‘Canceling’ video.

Happy end of sprint, Beloveds! I open this update with a vile crime: the Case of the Ravaged Yums. Gotta watch out for mounting, Damning Evidence, like, er, COMMITTING A CRIME IN FRONT OF SOMEONE WITH A CAMERA. I should also say early on that we have a V GOOD APP STORE sale on right Read more

This sprint is named after arguably the most milquetoast of Arthurian knights, though he did at least have the decency to spawn the Knight of the Swan, a.k.a. Bad Cleve. Naughty Cleve! Stop enslaving large, pissed-off waterfowl! Gawain 4 lief, frankly. It’s been a very busy sprint, but let me start this update with an Read more
