Is this the revival of Kami’s golden age of tourism?
We couldn’t be happier to have welcomed 200,000 climbers to the mountain over the weekend.

Publisher strongly suggested we start posting about Virtue and a Sledgehammer at least twice a week.
Would you be so kind as to share some stuff you'd like to see from this game? I need ideas for posts 🙃
For now, here's a screenshot of a plaza you'll find in the town of Virtud.

Interviewing Emeric Thoa helped me understand what makes The Game Bakers’ titles so consistently successful. Here's a glimpse into their journey making Cairn, which brought them “face to face with the summit of Mont Blanc”, 3840m (~12600ft) high.

Here is our most recent trailer for Cairn!
Had lots of fun making it. It's about the FREE SOLO mode, a game mode with extreme stakes where the any mistake can be fatal (no rope, no checkpoint, smaller backpack).
I wasn't able to complete the game in that mode yet 😅 (but i've seen people make it).

Cairn’s Free Solo mode lets you experience the high tension of climbing without a rope.
Any fall can be fatal.
Die, and you start over.
Can you make it through the push to the summit?
Warm up for the climb in the demo

You don't need Silksong when Silksong was already there (and got dismantled by Ubi wlekrjwl;ehjtlkwejhrtlkewhjr).
I mean it. TLC is a really super solid game top to bottom.

And my GOTY of GOTYs is Prince of Persia The Lost Crown.
It's a game with some weaknesses, but it delivers so much on the good old platforming thrills. 3Cs and combat are great, but the platforming gave me the most "video game emotions" I had this year. I felt smart and skilled all the way.
