Will Dube Talks Vikings, Killing, & Jotun

July 22nd - via: cliqist.com
We here at Cliqist love talking directly to developers about their games. We’re able to circumvent the usual PR fluff and get right to the questions we want the answers to. Will Dube, the creator of the upcoming Jotun, a brutal action game rooted deeply in Norse mythology, was kind enough to give us lots of details on his Kickstarter project. However, instead of doing our usual one-on-one, however, we (accidentally) decided to mix things up a little bit and bring in two of our staff to relentlessly pick the brain of a man with a really amazing looking game. (Read More)

Fighting in Viking Purgatory in Jotun

July 21st - via: cliqist.com
Jotun is a dream Will Dube and a couple of collaborators cooked up that he’d love to seem come true. To attract further interest in the game, get tons of input for improvement, and raise funds so he can survive on Ramen for the entirety of the development, Will and his team are depending on Kickstarter for $50K CAD. Additionally, with these funds gained, he will hire on an extra programmer and artist to move along the development process for official release in September of 2015. (Read More)
