Emergence

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.

Have to hand it to them, the whole “indie with AAA production” is admirable and not unlike what we’ve been trying to do here. A lot of that is done by building a bridge to the community and soliciting feedback in earnest but also retaining a core vision that is immutable.

I suppose I’ll have to be buying this one, won’t I? I mean, they’ve been so clear and open about everything every step of the way through and it’d feel a little wrong not to at least give it a try.
