There’s another lovely review of The Sea Will Claim Everything over at Mash Those Buttons. I was particularly happy about this part: Once the music hits you, I’m not sure how much you’ll care about the game’s setbacks any more. The music is the core of this game, the piece …
When I started making games, I had a choice to make: under what name was I going to release them? Now, this was a while ago – more than ten years. (Agustín Cordes recently told me that I was one of the first of the indies and that I should …
