Sword of the Sea knows the power of putting you at the top of a steep hill and showing you the world. Our review: bit.ly/4fIb9kC

Kate Sánchez ➡️ Gamescom@ohmymithrandir.bsky.social · 12mo ago

It was so fun talking to Kate about design ideas behind Sword of the Sea. Thanks so much for letting me geek out about some of my inspirations, and for the thoughtful, kind words about the game. Thanks Kate!

Thanks to @giantsquidstudios.com 's Matt Nava for taking the time to talk with me about Sword of the Sea! We dive deep on the game's inspirations, mechanics, and design, but the thing that struck me was Nava's goal to leave the world better than he found it with his games:

Check out this great article about Sword of the Sea! It was an absolute delight to chat with Lewis about the game-we talked about the thoughts behind it, and even about the crazy sand and water shader! Thank you!

Waxed lyrical about the wonder-filled perspective of Sword of the Sea for @eurogamer.bsky.social. Also featuring director @mattnava.bsky.social on trippy IRL snowboarding experiences, sumptuous shaders, and going on Caravaggio pilgrimages as a kid. www.eurogamer.net/video-games-...

Don’t miss this exclusive interview with @mattnava.bsky.social about Sword of the Sea at Summer Game Fest!

Patrick spent a few days in Los Angeles at this year’s Summer Game Fest, and in-between equal parts beer and coffee, he found time to chat with a bunch of game developers at the show about their games (and fascism). remapradio.com/podcasts/epi...

"I expected this studio’s next game to be an engrossing adventure, but I didn’t expect it to rip this hard."

16 years of thought-provoking adventures all led to Sword of the Sea.
