Apr 3000:54:05Tap to summarizeOne of the most fascinating games of 2026 is Titanium Court. Is Titanium Court a match-3 video game? Yes. A tower defense game? Yes. An adventure game? Well, yes. Does the entire game, at times, feel like an elaborate trick been played on you? Absolutely. To learn more, Patrick spoke with Titanium Court designer AP Thomson about making a game about mysteries, the highs and lows of working on two video games at the same time, and, of course, sports manga.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Transcribe →The Story of Minishoot’ Adventures
Apr 1500:49:19Tap to summarizeWhen Séverin Larose was a kid, he would hang out with his cousin and watch him play games. That’s the key word: watch. Larose’s parents long had a zero tolerance policy for games. Decades later, Larose would partner with his cousin to rise to the top of the Flash game charts and eventually create one of the best Metroidvania games of the past few years, Minishoot’ Adventures. (And, yes, by the end of this interview you’ll understand the apostrophe thing.)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
