The team behind the curious, ethereal, and one-of-a-kind PlayStation release Vib-Ribbon have spoken of the story behind the game’s creation; the uphill battle to get such an abstract project greenlit, produced, and released; and the enduring legacy of not only the game itself, but the…
Friends, we are doing important work—the work of determining, through democracy and science (maybe), what RTS unit deserves to be held aloft and named the greatest RTS unit of all time.
