- Support for eye-gaze controllers. Working with charity SpecialEffect, we’ve provided a new launch option where certain widgets can be controlled more easily with assistive mouse devices. Instead of clicking and holding the mouse to move an object, you only need to click the mouse once to grab something, then click again to release it. To play in this mode, choose “Play with mouse accessibility support,” or launch the game with the command-line argument “--eyegaze”. If you play GNOG with assistive devices, we’d love to hear your feedback! Thanks again to SpecialEffect for their patience and continued help in making this feature possible.
Bug fixes
- Fixed: removed some conflicting animations in CANDY
- Fixed: ignore mouse input while in VR.

Melon-twisting puzzler Gnog is free on the Epic Games Store
“ Gnog is absolutely spellbinding and charming in its daft, joyful silliness,” our former John (RPS in peace) said in his Gnog review when it finally came out last year. A big fan of twiddling and twisting and tugging heads to see the secrets they hold, that one. And in the game.

A big fan of twiddling and twisting and tugging heads to see the secrets they hold, that one. And in the game. Gnog hands us playful puzzleheads to open up, look inside, fiddle with, and eventually solve. The mucking-about is just as important as the solving, see. If you missed Gnog, hey, it’s now the latest freebie on the Epic Games Store.

Halloween 2018 Special: Some lovely games!
Video games, you may have noticed, are often a little bit horrid. All sorts of naughtiness, and a distinct lack of people just being kind to one another. What are we like?! But fortunately there are games that make an exception to the potty-mouthed meanies that dominate, and toda
Original postVideo games, you may have noticed, are often a little bit horrid. All sorts of naughtiness, and a distinct lack of people just being kind to one another. What are we like?! But fortunately there are games that make an exception to the potty-mouthed meanies that dominate, and today I celebrate them and their cuteness with a collection of lovely screenshots.

Original postThis is The Mechanic, where Alex Wiltshire invites developers to discuss the difficult journeys they ve taken to make their games. This time, GNOG [official site].
Samuel Boucher hadn t really made a game before he started to make GNOG. He was an artist and graphic designer, and though he d art directed an interactive jigsaw puzzle game for kids, that was pretty much the limit of his experience. So, really, you can say the trouble with GNOG started when he decided to post some illustrations of a game idea he had to a local indie developer forum. His art talents were quite enough to attract the interest of indie studio KO-OP, and so started three years of trying to figure out how to actually make it. It was a really big mess, Boucher tells me. (more…)

Original postThe pretty puzzleheads of Gnog will finally come to PC some time in November. Ko_op’s Gnog traps us inside giant monstrous heads, where I suppose our objective is to escape but that seems a lot less fun than messing about. Like Windosill and games by Vectorpark, solving puzzles feels secondary to poking around, fiddling with things to discover delightful consequences. Here, peep this: (more…)
