Cipher Zero players starting this journey right now.

Hey folks. If you’re into classic JRPGs AT ALL, I highly recommend giving this a play, particularly the second game.
It executes on the “found family” idea at a scale I’ve yet to see in any game since.

Remembering that the American cover art for Suikoden was a CHOICE.
My favorite part is that it's not entirely clear to me, someone who has played it at least 10 times, who those characters are.

Looks like that's a wrap on @FirewalkStudios!
@PlayConcord obviously didn't make the splash we were hoping for but it was a pleasure working with and learning from such talented people for the last two years.

The CIPHER ZERO team (@zapdot) released a new demo recently. It’s a grid puzzler in the vein of The Witness, Understand and Gridspech whose opening levels are very much Picross but then some new glyphs appear… Watch our video going though it here: youtube.com/watch?v=GsYF1Df1…
Folks, this is the best JRpg you've never heard of! If you're a fan of the genre this is a must-play!
A beloved RPG adventure returns March 6, 2025 ✨

I had a great time working with the team to bring Emari, It-Z, Lark, Vale, and Bazz to life!
See you on the battlefield!
The Northstar is now boarding Group 1: our Digital Deluxe Edition supporters! Grab your crew, queue up and start getting some early wins under your belts 🏅

ALT Roka, a woman in a rocket-like suit, soars through the air, holding a rocket launcher, ready to dive headfirst into her opponents. A blue-gridded circle hovers over a group of rival Freegunners, marking her target.
I was responsible for the implementation of It-Z's clones! Every time a player fools me with them, I'm mad that we made them so convincing.
It-Z gives enemies the Cosmic Slip in Concord, teleporting to her orb's location.

The Northstar has arrived!
The Early Access Beta is officially live. Have fun, Freegunners! #ConcordBeta
When I used to work at a military defense contractor (derogatory), one really great thing was the 494 work week. Having every other Friday off was incredible. You could actually DO something with your weekend without feeling burned out on Monday.

When we at Proletariat were briefly on the Valorant team, I saw early versions of this. As someone who much prefers M&K shooters, I was skeptical this would work but some of my former coworkers did a great job of getting this to feel good, even that early in the process.
Console Limited Beta is on its way. Sign up today for your chance to play.
