Exclusive Interview: Singing Baby Shark: Sing & Swim Party’s hits with Recotechnology 

You’d have to be a very special kind of person to work on Baby Shark: Sing & Swim Party. Developers Recotechnology invited us to pick over their collective minds. Have they gone to mush? Are they just going to repeat the theme tune back at us for an hour?

Losing our head with Nacho Rodriguez, the creator of The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo

Looking like it stumbled out of the very earliest animations, The Many Pieces of Mr. Coo is a mixed media, surrealist graphic adventure that can’t help but catch the eye. We leapt at the chance to interview the man behind Mr. Coo, Nacho Rodríguez.

Exclusive Interview: Hitching a ride with Alaskan Road Truckers and its developers, Road Studio

An interview within an interview with Hanford Lemoore, maker of Maquette

But the title gives a big old clue that Stranded: Alien Dawn isn’t quite so local. That’s enough for some questions to start bubbling up.

Exclusive interview: we put Capybara Games’ nose to the Grindstone

Grindstone is a bloody fantastic (in all senses) puzzle game, where you take the role of Jorj, a dungeon raider and grindstone gatherer, as he chains together similarly coloured ‘creeps’. We had to hold in all that gushing praise, for a moment, when we were offered the chance to interview Dan Vader, director of Grindstone at Capybara Games. Nobody likes a suck-up.
