Crimes! One of the great highlights of Night in the Woods was the penniless, petty crimes you do because they were both oddly delightful and yet so weirdly funny. Speaking of crimes, it is a bit of a crime we haven’t had anything come out from the team behind the game since then.
Well, that will change as two members of the team have found a new studio for their next (as of now untitled) project. Former Night in the Woods developers Bethany Hockenberry and Scott Benson are joined by artist and musician Wren Farren to found The Glory Society.
The Glory Society is self-described as a “worker-owned and operated cooperative to make video games,” they will run without bosses and make decisions amicably for their games. This and the name make them almost sound like a band, which I am completely down for.
Meanwhile the other member of the Night in the Woods team, Alec Holowka has put together his own team last year working on their own game, currently titled ProjectPotato. Hopefully, we will get games from these gifted developers sooner than later. And plenty more crimes!
