Olav: the story of one boy

When I first started reading Torsten Weitze's The Tower of Beggars, I was expecting something similar to the Harry Potter books. What I got instead was an entirely unique story filled with tales of gods and inequality. And while magic is a big part of this world, the first book in the series is true to its name and largely centers around a beggar's perspective. If you're looking for a good new fantasy series to dig into, I highly recommend checking it out.The Tower of Beggars follows the story of Niri, a 16 year-old-girl with the kind of heritage that doesn't do her any favors.

BioShock Infinite's Bread Boy went viral on Twitter in February, so we asked developer Gwen Frey to weigh in on how exactly she made this king of crumb. The reasons the Bread Boy exists in the Burial at Sea DLC point to the strange, specific problems that developers have to overcome every day. Gwen is now hard at work on a satirical puzzle game called Lab Rat, with her own studio.

With its gorgeous black and white, hand drawn art and heavily influenced 1980s tabletop RPG stylings, The Secret of Weepstone is the kind of game I would make... if I had any idea how to make games.
