3 days agoAfter 40 years of adventure games, Ron Gilbert pivots to outrunning Death
In an interview from his New Zealand home, though, Gilbert noted that his catalog also includes some reflex-based games- Humungous Entertainment's Backyard Sports titles and 2010's Deathspank, for instance. And Gilbert said his return to action-oriented game design today stemmed from his love for modern classics like Binding of Isaac, Nuclear Throne, and Dead Cells. "I mean, I'm certainly mostly known for adventure games, and I have done other stuff, [but] it probably is a little bit of a departure for me," he told Ars. "While I do enjoy playing narrative games as well, it's not the only thing I enjoy, and just the idea of making one of these kind started out as a whim."
