    First post time: Hi all, I’m Justin, I’m a game designer, artist, and animator with Moonlight Kids. I worked on the game The Wild at Heart and am currently working on a new game. I love ttrpgs, miniature painting and prop making, lego, and all manner of animals.

    One of the perks of traveling to the UK frequently for video game work was going to small town UK record shops, where I’d find favorite treasures like a promo copy of the WILD AT HEART soundtrack and tie-in Chris Isaak / Badalamenti WICKED GAME split 12”, both never released on vinyl in the US.

    A look at some exciting games that are still to release in 2026, including a new game from Moonlight Kids (The Wild At Heart devs!), a wild pixel art horror game with live action cut scenes made by an Argentinian film crew, and some bonus takes on Control 2, Kena 2, the impossible hype of GTA, etc.

    Would strongly recommend The Wild at Heart to anybody looking for a beautiful cozy game to immerse themselves in. Basically a cross between Wytchwood and Pikmin.

    Love this! Also love The Wild At Heart & Spiritfarer from more recent games. Plus stuff like Hollow Knight...I think music can elevate a game in so many ways.

    We played a bit of The Wild At Heart after finishing Samorost 2 and wow, what a game. I've already cried, artstyle is beautiful, mechanics are fun and the "oh shit, oh shit oh shit" as night is falling?? Very good. The use of sound is commendable.

    so i was half-ironically going to post just in all caps "PIKMIN" as you'd expect, but i'm gonna give a suggestion for a game that's maybe easier and still pikmin-like The Wild at Heart is charming and pretty easy to finish imo, i'd definitely give it a look store.steampowered.com/app/1093290/...

    The Wild At Heart is a kind of sweet game. Although it is a bit tricky when dealing with the combat scenarios the crop up because it's always tricky when your attack option is cute little nature sprites.

    Pikmin is a delight! My daughter is hooked on 3 and 4. If you want to try a similar, cheaper, multi-platform game (although I know you emulate) The Wild At Heart is a fun time.

    Idea 3: A top-down 2D Pikmin-like similar to The Wild at Heart, but with tiny robot cars. The game would also heavily revolve around UGC with the ability to make caves, challenges, and open areas to explore in addition to a campaign. This would be hard to do solo and I'd probably need funding.

    Not to add to your backlog, buuuuut I started playing a game called The Wild At Heart yesterday, and I think you're going to love it. It's Pikmin-like but with a darker tone. You collect forest spritelings that follow you around and do your bidding, and "the night is bad".

    #01 The Wild At Heart by Moonlight Kids: I have always been a fan of the Overlord/Pikmin games. Controlling a bunch of minions to do tasks for you just feels so good. The Wild at Heart is an awesome indie game where you control minions. It is so well made with so much detail and a beautiful story.
