Hello! Once again we were out traveling over the holidays so this post goes up a bit later than usual. While we have been public with our development ever since we first came up with the idea for Backworlds, in 2018 we put a bit more effort into showing the game to the world –…

Halloween has come and gone again, so as have been our habit the last few years we will revisit the graveyard of buried ideas. Without saying too much, this will (hopefully) be the last time we do this so instead of focusing on just one mechanic, read on to learn about a few different designs…

Happy Halloween! In the spirit of the season, I will take this opportunity to talk about the dead. Or, to be less melodramatic (and less seasonally relevant), another one of the world designs we decided to abandon along the way.
