Mini Q&A
Answers by Sebastian Eriksson, CEO
Why do you make games?
When deciding to go down the path to become game developers I think that we all did it partially because we were gamers ourselves, and there's always been that strange allure to one day get to make our own games. But now that we are in it I believe we'll keep doing it because of that magical feeling you get from seeing someone play and enjoy a game you've made. It's seriously intoxicating!
Why should people play A Story About My Uncle?
We believe that we've crafted an experience you can't get anywhere else. Except if you are secretly spiderman! Mixing grapple hook enabled freedom of movement with fast paced first person platforming and a story that starts of as a simple bedtime story but takes the player as far down the rabbit hole as they are willing to go.
What element of game design do you hold above all others?
In this time of free to play multiplayer games and procedurally generated worlds we wanted to make a genuinely hand crafted single player adventure, where the player get's to decide how to tackle the obstacles placed in front of them. It may seem like a pretty linear game, but what we show the player is only the easiest route forward. Giving the player this type of freedom has been one of our biggest design challenges, but it's also the thing we are most proud of.

Day 1 | Gone North Games
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Haha he seems like pretty cool guy.
This game looks pretty nice actually, it seems like Mirror's Edge meets Spider-Man.
Looks interesting.
The more I read about this, the more I want to give it a try and it actually looks very good graphically also. Only $13 on Steam.
Will check the game out on Steam. Had no idea it even released.
