By Jenna Pitcher on Jun 09, 2013 06.09.13

Mew-Genics, the upcoming game from the developers of Super Meat Boy, will move beyond cat hoarding to "more traditional hoarding" and will feature an accident prone child called Baby Jack, according to an update its official blog. Baby Jack is the manager of the in-game store, Hoarders R Us, which will allow players to collect new items. But, according to developer Edmund McMillen, it "wont be your basic hoarding sim" and the "furniture in the shop has significance that goes beyond pathological collecting."

By Dave Tach on Apr 19, 2013 04.19.13

Console manufacturers should cede some control and empower developers on their next-gen consoles, Endless Space developer Amplitude Studios' creative director Romain de Waubert told Develop Online.

"All we need is for console manufacturers to reduce the paperwork overhead and leave us in control of our own channel within their environment," de Waubert said. "A bit like Steam or an app store does." Last year, Fez developer Polytron decided not to patch a save file-corrupting bug on the Xbox 360 because "Microsoft would charge us tens of thousands of dollars to re-certify the game." De Waubert's sentiment also echoes calls...
