Posted by The Management in design on March 11, 2010
- Robbing Gods – An interesting article on The Escapist about the thematic aspects of Thief: The Dark Project and how they fit into the title’s atmosphere and gameplay.

- Movement Mechanics in “The Legend of Zelda” – A fairy detailed article on Link’s moveset in the original game and its sequel, and another example of why Nintendo’s games often just “feel” so good.

Hi, my name’s Radek Koncewicz, and I'm the Creative Lead of Incubator Games, a small development studio I started with a few former coworkers.
