Ben LindberghHOST
And instead of just doubling down on that gameplay, which they could have done because they tried a Control spinoff, right? They tried to get into online FPS, you know, PVE, FBC Firebreak, and nobody played that game last year.
Ben LindberghHOST
And you know, they have publishing help with this, investments, like Annapurna Interactive co-published Control Resonant as well.
Ben LindberghHOST
So they could have said, "We'll just stick with what works after the misfire that was Firebreak." And instead, yeah, they produced a sequel to Control, but it's not really all that much like Control.
Ben LindberghHOST
[laughs] And there are some ways, I guess, in which that's not an improvement, but a lot of ways in which it is, or at least it was a, a welcome, refreshing change.
30 MINS LATER
Ben LindberghHOST
It's another late September, so that must mean it's time for another Silent Hill spinoff.
Ben LindberghHOST
Silent Hill f, which was covered on Button Mash, came out last September 25th.
Ben LindberghHOST
So here we are, September 24th, with a new Silent Hill spinoff, Silent Hill: Townfall, developed by Screenburn Interactive and published, of course, by Konami, along with Annapurna Interactive co-publishing for PS5 and Windows.
Ben LindberghHOST
And you all know, famously, I love all things survival horror and Silent Hill, especially with a side of stealth, if I'm just creeping around and scared out of my wits.
Kaylee MooreHOST
Publishers, on the other hand, increasingly want to see a substantial prototype, traction, wishlist, or an existing community before committing, and there are fewer of them left to ask.
Kaylee MooreHOST
Humble Games laid off its entire staff in 2024, and Annapurna Interactive's team walked out the same year.
Kaylee MooreHOST
Second, the biggest indie winners have become very big indeed.
Kaylee MooreHOST
The top end of the independent market has increasingly concentrated around a relatively small number of breakout games, creating fortunes inside studios with often still modest headcounts.
DanHOST
Enjoy.
DanHOST
But then one of my favourite companies announced a new game from Annapurna Interactive, Uncanyon.
DanHOST
I didn't see this one.
DanHOST
It's like a puzzle.
Chris ElogiHOST
looked really neat.
Chris ElogiHOST
This is their next game with a very weird name, Uncanyon, being published by Annapurna Interactive, where it's kind of an adventure game, puzzle adventure game,
Brandon PerkinsHOST
with
Chris ElogiHOST
some combat in it that has a really nice look to it.
BenHOST
So what I've been up to, surprising no one, playing games, one of which we'll talk about in the later portion of the podcast.
BenHOST
But I've completed two games, a game called Pragmata, which was developed and produced by Capcom, and also a game called Mixtape, which is described as a coming-of-age story developed by Beethoven and Dinosaur and published by Annapurna Interactive.
BenHOST
I sent you a lot more trailers than I usually send you.
BenHOST
Yeah.
Joseph MoranHOST
I thought he says the next game from Graceful Decay, the developers of Macat, the PlayStation Plus game from a few years back, which is amazing.
Joseph MoranHOST
And published by Annapurna Interactive, an isometric top-down puzzle game where players control protagonist Sonia exploring the forgotten world caught between parallel realities.
Joseph MoranHOST
Puzzle solving involves manipulating the environment itself and bending reality in different ways.
Joseph MoranHOST
Launches in 2027.
Luis AntonioGUEST
But the more I worked on it, the better it got clearly.
Luis AntonioGUEST
So then I signed with the publisher, Annapurna Interactive, which is the child of Annapurna Pictures.
Luis AntonioGUEST
I don't know if you know Annapurna.
Luis AntonioGUEST
you know, they published her, Hurt Locker, they're like a movie company.
