The heat is ramping up for us here in the Summer months in Arkansas, and we're hoping our computer fans can keep things cool while we press ahead with unoptimized demos and tests. We've now well and truly switched from the "exploration" side of preproduction to the "refinement" side, developing

Our look at May will be a little lighter than other months: we've made some great progress in preproduction on our next game, we reached a reviews milestone for Joni, I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, all of us are deeeeeep into Blue Prince, and we've been having several conversations
