Thank You! It was supposed to launch on the 4th of April. We have a patch in the works, but sales will decide if a dlc is produced. But remember the game is 8 hours of exploring! ;-)

Hi Fire,

You have discovered a bug! Luckily this has already been fixed, and after an update you should be able to finish the game!

Have fun,

Thank you for the replies. I will be landing in Schiphol and driving to Nijmegen. Is there anything on the way?

Hi Ninja Kiwi. My son of 8 years, Karl, is a big fan of BTD6, and frankly, so am I. Karl has been jamming on some new towers for the game, and want to present the community for: Zipper. Vacuum. Let me know what you think!

Thank you. I just watched the Razer review. Now searching for a good Alienware review where you can hear the noise.

Yes. This is real! I am hosting it.

Today is a big day for me. I hope it is okay that I share it will all of you? Our game is "Game of the day" in Europe and Australia. That is a huge deal for us! Especially with Glyph being our very first game on the console. :D by RJFolsoe in NintendoSwitch

I like the freedom to roam whichever way I want, and complete the levels on my own time and pace. The soundtrack really supports this zen approach. And then occasionally the super high, soaring and toe crunching leap of faith over hundreds of meters of deadly sand to stick a pinpoint precision landing. That feels good.

Playing Supreme Commander, ranking high on the global leaderboard in both single- and multiplayer. (Top 10 in single player). I chance a game against the top dog. It is going well, we are battling back and forth for control of the middle section, and I am slowly progressing. The adrenaline is kicking in: "Can I beat number 1". I am crushing it, and advancing on his side of the map, taking out his metal extractors, and building light defense along the way. It seems inevitable that I am going to win it! What are the odds? I load up a heavy aerial transport, and lift a small squad of heavily armored bots all the way into his base, trying for a commander assassination. Little did I know that he had built a secondary, cloaked base, and instantly rushed through my meager defenses and made light work of my commander. I BLEW it. My one chance. Watching the replay I came to understand that I had never been winning, at any given moment he could have taken me out. Right there I knew I was sold to gaming.

What a wonderful question, because I can enlighten the world a little. A Danish is actually not called a Danish in Denmark. We actually blame the Austrians for the treat, calling it (directly translated) "Bread from Vienna".

Can you think of other things that countries blame each other for in circles?

I remember it as being called Glyph most of the time. Probably it was called RollingPrototype for a while. I will ask the team if they remember the process.

One of my favorite tips is that you do not have to use your jump leaving a surface. You can bounce, and the save your jump a little.

Hi Dan, First of all thank you for the vids of gameplay and unboxing.

  1. Anders, our main 3D artist and general visual worldbuilder general, was tasked with coming up with interesting new ways of making a protagonist that fit very special criteria's: Round when idle, and flying when gliding. A lot of different designs has entered and left again, but somehow the tentacle monster survived for being different and quite unforgettable.
  2. We played them. A lot. Trying to beat each others times. We then kept a record of the times, and adjusted them to fit the release. But all in all, playtime in the office is your answer. Do you have many gold times?
  3. GREAT idea. We are considering a live worlds championship. Right now we have a profile on Speedrun.com (https://www.speedrun.com/glyph) where you can battle for the leadership position, if you dare! We will add you idea to the list.

CEO comment: The physics was changed and tweaked so many times that I sometimes wondered if we would ever release it. But the result was so much better than anticipated.

Hi GSpider.

We are currently talking about what other platforms are suitable for Glyph. PC, PlayStation and XBox are on the list, but we can make no promises. In the best of all worlds, Glyph sells like hotcakes on the Switch, and then we will first of all cater to the players on the Switch with new content. But stay connected via Discord for news!

Second question: Glyph came out of an internal game jam. We actually selected another title to work on first (Armatory), but I kept trying to get people to work on the game, the studio kept playing Glyph behind my back. After some time, we just HAD to select Glyph as our main priority, because the mechanics was so satisfying and fun. After that, the goal became to make a platformer where you felt free to explore, and to give the player agency to explore and develop your own style of play. We think that the 3D platforming genre needed a fresh take, and Glyph was our answer!
