Quite excited for what the future Jeff and the team will bring to the site and of course a MASSIVE thank you and best wishes to Vinny, Alex and Brad. I sincerely hope I will get to hear them all on podcast, streams and what have you down the road as guest and what not and maybe even pop back on GB in whatever form the site will take in the future.

Nice write-up! Was an engrossing read. Really interesting points on it being a light resource game and how they take use of that fact in the games design with (i.e. no loads and quick restarts).

Really adore this game.

First thing that came to mind is the genre of EAI (Electro Acoustic Improvisation), more because it can feel so utterly obtuse and unique. It's an interesting genre I can't say I am big listener of though. RYM encapsulates it pretty well with:

EAI (Electroacoustic Improvisation) is a difficult to define style of Free Improvisation characterised by a very slow moving, physical, textured aesthetic, often created using unconventional instruments (like prepared guitars and turntables) processed through a laptop computer. It takes influence from a wide range of improvised music - such as Noise, Drone and experimental Jazz - although the sheer uniqueness of the genre makes it difficult to precisely pin down its development. It maintains a keen underground following worldwide, with labels such as Mego, Improvised Music From Japan and Erstwhile regularly releasing records from many of the key figures in the genre."

Otherwise I feel weird, can also be something that just kinda plays with a genre in an unexpected way or just manages to convey a certain atmosphere. I think weird, or maybe mysterious rather, fits the music Angelo Badalamenti did for Twin Peaks, even if I think that music is also can be very cosy and kinda fun to listen to (granted its tied so deeply to the surreal and good feel vibes the show has it's hard to separate it from its original context):

Or say the how the people over at PC Music play around with sugary pop music and maximizes the aesthetics of it to make something new:

In terms of artists who deal with audiovisual installations/music I think Ryoji Ikeda makes some absolutely hypnotic and really neat work:

Best of luck to you and your future endeavors Drew!!!

Just got it. Man this game is badass. Great feel, art & sound. Also fuck bats, need to develope some bat-tech™ stat!

The student apartment complex I live in here in Gothenburg Sweden has it's own optical fiber net which has 1000 mB up and down - but since I've yet to buy a better router I get 100 mB up and down. Buying a router that can handle 1000 mB is just annoyingly expensive. I am probably am gonna get one which can at least handle 300.

Great article Austin, keep em coming!

:( Bummer to hear your leaving, you've produced some of my favorite content and highlighted some fantastic games over the years, best of luck on future endeavors - Godspeed Klepek!

yes, there all is aching

First of all, fantastic game. Loved the atmosphere, gameplay, attention to detail and the story overall.

@cyberfunk Ha! I thought the same thing.
