This holiday, I'd like to share a story of finding hope in the dark, oppressive forest of grief. I was lucky enough to chat with Tom and Najati from Made Up Games about how Pine: A Story of Loss was made and why it's worth making a game that isn't "fun" in the traditional sense. Plus - my picks for my top five winter holiday Nintendo Switch games, tidbits from my Nintendo year-in-review, roundups of The Game Awards, The Indie Game Awards... and a whole lot more!
