Hi, my name is James Spanos.
I've coded Primordia, a game where Man is but a myth.
I've also worked on a lot of other games, most notably, Strangeland, The Cat Lady, Hob's Barrow, Until I Have You, Mages Initiation and currently Fallen Gods and Carbonflesh.

Five years ago today, I was playing Primordia for the first time. A truly excellent point and click adventure. 🥲

I feel like every scene I draw for Gilt is a real struggle and I am never satisfied, but then I put the character sprites over my WIPs and seeing them hanging out in that world makes me happy.

We were still in the mood for some point-and-clicking after finishing The Dig, so Kit and I are crossing off one of the backlog I've been meaning to get around to for Wormwood Studios/Wadjet Eye's Primordia.
I've always been intrigued by the premise of this game and how it looks.

a short horror story about ghosts, goblins and polite anxiety of asking too much.
untangle the mysteries of a "ghost problem" haunting this unwelcoming, desolate house. even if it means digging up uncomfortable truths.

For anyone wondering how I managed to say goodbye to Fia in Old Skies, a character I'd played for years, and put a huge amount of myself into: this is how we ended things.
And, Past Sally, you were absolutely right.
