Game Industry News

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. “ Supernova, Part 1 ” is every bit a penultimate episode, in that it addresses certain trailing plotlines without resolving others.

We also get a lovely return to the season’s opening theme of the importance of communication and how it works to bring people together even where it requires effort

2022 was a waste for my engine until this happened

Harold Serrano

The year 2022 was an excellent year for me. I started a new job, and my family grew. But, in terms of the engine, not so much. I'm sad to say that the Untold Engine saw little progress this year.
