With all due credit to Penny Arcade for the image that defines not only Gabe, but Steerpike as well. This comes up because Dave Perry, formerly sort of still of Shiny Entertainment, opined at D.I.C.E. that “the days of single player gaming are numbered.” He goes on to say that “without question, our focus is …
Dorothy, you’re really not in Kansas now! Dave Gilbert is one of our most intelligent and creative independent game developers. His work includes Shivah, which brought him instant recognition, as well as Blackwell Legacy and Blackwell Unbound, both reviewed here. His themes are often dark, yet also include satisfying humor.
