11 of 11 · most liked firstIt might have taken almost a decade and some incredibly heavy discounts, but I noticed I missed The Signal From Tölva passing 100k units sold some time last year. A milestone, of sorts, for a forgotten game (which I am as proud of as anything I have ever made.) Thanks to all who worked on it!
unlabelledView post →Also it delights me when people do find The Signal From Tölva, because approximately 8.2 billion people missed it so far. And it's a lovely game that we poured a staggering amount of effort into.
unlabelledView post →This, one of my favourite of Ian's paintings, was the basis for @olninyo.bsky.social's amazing "broken hammerhead" character model in The Signal From Tölva. (And actually one of the main reasons that game exists at all.)
unlabelledView post →Just to say "The Signal From Tölva" is an amazing game. Looks great and is a lot of fun. If John Sladek were still with us, it's a game he'd have been ideal to write a tie-in novel for, put it that way.

unlabelledView post →Every time @rossignol.bsky.social brings up the dev history of The Signal From Tölva, I remember that it is a such a delightful game. Great world-building, excellent robots, the kind of game that makes you long for the days of super-thick manuals with all the background material. Love it.
