Our talented audio team come bearing horse skulls and silly wisdom.

Chris Rickwood@chrisrickwood.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Come listen to @jelfish.bsky.social and I ramble on about how we misuse MetaSounds, source animal skulls for recording purposes, and playing out of tune instruments for @thekillingstone.com youtu.be/CsOs3S9AuFA?... Fun hang with @domcaterina.bsky.social and @daaaaaaaan.bsky.social @audiologs.ca

So we had a target for Nith! And there were plenty of details to solve - here is her ortho! - but our character modeler is fantastic and enjoys solving things as much as I do. He's made each of my concepts his own at the 3D stage and the game is better for it.

Our amazing concept artist/2D illustrator/UI designer/magically creative @samgauss.bsky.social shares a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of The Killing Stone.

Our Design Director joined @thedivedown.bsky.social this week to dish on all things card battler. Listen in as Ken shares behind-the-scenes secrets about designing The Killing Stone.

The Dive Down@thedivedown.bsky.social · 5mo ago

On this week's show, we're joined by Ken Strickland from @thekillingstone.com to talk about the game's unique blend of deck building and gothic storytelling, how to wager with demons, and the art of card design. Stream the show at thedivedown.fireside.fm/359 or wherever you get podcasts!

Thank you, @emmagregoryvoice.bsky.social! There would be no Mariken without you.

Be careful what you wish for... The extraordinary @questiongames.bsky.social have released the trailer for The Killing Stone, a project I am immensely proud to be a part of. Play EA on @steampowered.com so you too can dance with @voiceofobrien.bsky.social - er - the Devil, I mean 😈

This is my favorite moment in the game: Exploding Eyeballs. While everyone is hard at work on the first, big, update of The Killing Stone, I'm piecing together footage of exploding eyeballs. Shhhhh. They can't stop me. Poor, poor demons. Such tender, squishy eyeballs. Which one is your favorite?

The @asusrog.bsky.social / The Killing Stone giveaway is done. You can watch Jake play here: www.youtube.com/live/q-z_9Kn... and CONGRATS to all the super secret winners who had their prizes whispered in their ears. That appears to be a The Killing Stone theme.

Indie dev friends, if you aren't already - you need to reach out and follow @willovergard.bsky.social right now. Noone will treat your game with better care, or help people understand what's magical about it. His love for this utterly absurd thing you've chosen to do with your life cannot be faked.

There's a symmetry to the titles of Question's games. The Magic Circle The Blackout Club The Killing Stone Yep that's all our games.

So cool to see history nerds appreciating every subtle detail in The Killing Stone. @nullspeak.bsky.social really did his homework on the narrative side of things, so it's fascinating to see these people uncover and explain all the deep cuts. www.twitch.tv/videos/27031...

A game that lets you swap back and forth between 17th century and more modernised English is such a ridiculous hook from the jump. IMMENSE effort to get that voiced. Swinging for the fences in a way few game narratives do

He's not on bluesky, but the poised, ultraprofessional George Ackles directed our VO sessions and helped break down my hot roast nonsense into digestible parts. Also, his ear for verse led to some edits! We credit Liam and Emma often, but George deserves many flowers.💝 www.imdb.com/name/nm38093...
