Developer posts and news about this game.
Ultrawide gaming monitors are the kind of hardware that might seem too excessive, maybe even a bit too gamer to bother with for playing games on PC, especially when their demanding resolutions often require powerful graphics cards to make the most of them. Once you try one, thoug
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time… Grow Home is probably one of the sweetest games of all time. It tells the story of a small botanical utility droid called BUD who’s been tasked by his MOM (also his mothershi
There’s an old saying in gaming monitor circles that once you’ve gone ultrawide, there’s no going back. Indeed, having had the vast Samsung CRG9 hogging my desk for a bit last month, I’m inclined to agree. But what do games actually look like on a screen this wide? It’s one thing
I did a bit of gardening this morning. I didn't want to. I had been putting it off. So many memories! But then I thought: enough. I got right to it and pulled up all the weeds. It took about two seconds. And on the other side of those two seconds the landscape was transformed. Th
The biggest names in platforming used to live only on console, but it’s on PC now that the genre is thriving. Indies have taken the simple ingredients and spun them off in umpteen directions (but still normally from left to right). Below you’ll find a collection of the very best
Perhaps ~~you re~~ the robot? Did you ever think of that, huh? No, it s fine, you re a human, a human who likes the RPS podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show . This week, we’re chatting about our favourite mechanoids, cyberfolk and rust-buckets. Alec likes the robo-ostrich from W
Welcome to the freshly relaunched RPS podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show ! You might think this is episode 31, but actually it s episode 1 again. We re rebooting it, even though we just did that last year . We ve started by making it more accessible. Instead of three of us cha
My nerves have been sufficiently jangled and my trigger-finger sufficiently itched by the glut of action games which landed in the closing months of last year. I crave an altogether more sedate beginning to 2018, and so my mind turns to games in which violence, reflex or any othe
This is The Mechanic , where Alex Wiltshire invites developers to discuss the inner workings of their games. This time, colourful procedural climbing game Grow Home . Put simply, BUD is a box suspended over legs and is held together by springs. In practice, BUD is an ungainly rob
Grow Home was born of an experiment in procedural animation, almost accidentally creating a lovely game to support it. Grow Up was born of a desire to make a sequel to Grow Home. I think this captures the key differences between the two games. Here’s wot I think: …
Two words for you, reader, you and your video games: Grow Up . That’s a joke really undone by capitalisation and our standardised linking, isn’t it. Otherwise it’d be hilarious, wouldn’t it. You’d be like “Whaaat! How dare you! And on a video games site!” then I’d reveal that rea
It might be a damp, grey Newcastle morning, but I m giggling with delight, uncharacteristically, perched on the sofa in the corner of Ubisoft Reflections offices. Grow Up is entirely to blame. The sequel to Grow Home , one of last year s most endearing games and the product of ex
Our favorite clumsy robot BUD officially makes his triumphant return on August 16 with the release of Grow Up . …
Grow Home was one of last year’s best surprises. In tottering hero B.U.D., a robot who behaves like a drunk toddler, Ubisoft found a protagonist more engaging and iconic than any number of baseball caps or historical murderers. The sequel, Grow Up , is out next month, having been
Grow Home was one of the most delightful surprises of last year: a physicsy platformer about a robot called B.U.D. planting and climbing flowers. Now it’s getting a sequel called Grow Up, which is due for release this August. Watch the E3 trailer below. …
The hours I’ve spent with XCOM 2 were enough to silence my inner-cynic for a while. It’s the king of sequels . Nothing sets him off on one of his diatribes quite like a Big Publisher Bundle though. What better place is there to cast off all of those unwanted spin-offs and fifteen
What is the best physics game of 2015? The RPS Advent Calendar highlights our favourite games from throughout the year, and behind today’s door is… Grow Home ! …
