I talked to @cressup.bsky.social this weekend about Firewatch turning 10, and also about adventure games for a while because why not. It was a great chat, the only downside is I am now a youtube thumbnail head. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuAj...

Appreciate the chat! There, I fixed it for you 😛

While sharing memories of Firewatch on its 10 year anniversary(!), let's not forget the great job @cissyspeaks.bsky.social and @richsommer.bsky.social did in bringing that amazing world to life as Delilah and Henry!

Full interview with writer & designer Jake Rodkin here: youtu.be/FuAjl8N95PY?...

Thank you to Jake for going through some old memories of Firewatch with me for this interview! youtu.be/FuAjl8N95PY?...

Firewatch is 10 years old today!

Its writer & designer Jake Rodkin told me his feelings on the game's ending, why we never see Delilah, & changes they made to the 3rd act.

It looks like In The Valley of the Gods is still on haitus though!

The business / tech team write stories like this all the time. As do similar teams on most other websites. Not sure how it's an advert when it mentions a drop in shares and economic concerns!
