We’ve had a beautiful time, Celeste. But I believe it’s time to see different platformers. It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve perforated my backbone in your spikes a lot it’s beginning to fear my physician, and I’ve seen all there may be to see. What’s that? You’ve acquired one final replace filled with ranges? You know, I believe I can grasp round for a short time longer. I can await one final journey.
It’s virtually time to say goodbye to Celeste, however not earlier than one last Farewell lands on Monday.
Celeste’s Farewell update will convey closure to Madeline’s journey on homicide mountain. Chapter 9 will add over 100 new ranges to leap into, die, scream, and leap into once more, pushing the overall stage depend over 800. Farewell may also convey “several brand new mechanics and items” to play about with, accompanied by 40 extra minutes of Lena Raine’s pretty soundtrack buzzing properly within the background.
With Celeste out of their system, developer Extremely OK Games have additionally begun… wait. Who the hell are Extremely OK Games? Oh! Right!
Matt Makes Games have retired that moniker, swapping it out to one thing that extra precisely displays actuality. Matt Thorson isn’t creating games alone, in a cave, with solely a BBC Micro and a rock, in any case.
“I started Matt Makes Games when I was working solo in my parents’ basement, and I never thought I’d be working with such an amazing team on games of this scale. On TowerFall, my collaborators took a larger role than I anticipated, and on Celeste, it was obvious that calling ourselves Matt Makes Games had become silly. Forming EXOK has also conveniently allowed us to restructure things in a more equitable fashion, so that we can all share ownership over our collective efforts.”
It’s maybe not so reflective of the standard of their games, thoughts. I’m as modest as most folk, but when I’d made Celeste I’d be calling my studio Absolutely Top Notch Games For Cool Friends. Probably. The Vancouver quartet have begun work on a brand new game, cleverly titled Mystery Game.
You say, Nat, that’s clearly a working title. I say, Untitled Goose Game modified the foundations.
Celeste’s Farewell replace hits Steam, Itch.io, and the Epic Games Store on September ninth.
