As Close Your enters its final week on Kickstarter, pressure is off and the “thank you” updates are flowing. The anxiety of hitting that campaign goal has alleviated and Goodbye World Games is now looking forwards toward stretch goals (some of which have already been hit). Watching the trailer (which features the old art), seeing the (new) art and reading about the game, it’s easy to see why the project was funded.
In an exclusive interview with Game File, new(ish) Xbox boss Asha Sharma and Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty explain their vision for Microsoft’s gaming division
A good start would be to release games to go with the console. My Xbox Series X has gathered dust virtually from launch. My advice would be to ditch a next console and release games on PC, PlayStation and Switch. Another idea would be a hybrid console based on Xbox Series X tech and go the same route as Nintendo. Another idea would be to pull out of gaming altogether. Plenty of options there.
Why would they pull out? They have the momentum. Sony has been getting nothing but bad news lately.
Group consists of Unfrozen, Sad Cat Studios, VEA Games, Weappy, and Game Garden.
The financing will support 26 projects 'centred on Australian stories and ideas.'
