The die has been cast. Purple smoke is billowing from the chimney of the RPS treehouse. The Alices have shuffled out of the choosing parlour to deliver the news. The best games of 2018 have been selected and trapped behind the doors of an advent calendar.

Anodyne 2 is an odd looking thing, channelling the uncanny style of N64 and PSX games, except when it’s not. Folks following the development of the action-adventure sequel have spotted that some of the screenshots appear to be in the chunky, 2D early 16-bit style of the original Anodyne. Oh, and it’s also a rhythm game too, and a driving game, somehow? It’s probably for the best that dev Sean Han Tani of Analgesic Productions has gotten trapped in the video dimension. His new form allows him to explain what’s going on in a lovely bit of internally narrated footage below.

You can’t get much more indie than breaking up with a small publisher to go entirely solo, and that’s exactly what Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone is doing with his enormously popular farm ’em up Stardew Valley. As of December 14th, he’ll be sole developer and publisher of the game on PC, Xbox, PS4 and Vita. The break with Chucklefish seems amicable and not all-encompassing too, with the publisher still handling the Nintendo Switch and Android versions of the game. In his statement, he also teases “announcements concerning the future of Stardew Valley soon” – exciting!
