Young Horses is currently working on a new project, though it won’t have much to do with Octodad. On Twitter, programmer / producer Kevin Geisler mentioned that the team hopes to put it on Switch.

On another note, it sounds like Young Horses wanted to have Octodad on Switch just like Wii U, but was told by Nintendo that the company is focusing on new games currently. It could still be an option for the indie developer in the future, but we’ll just have to wait and see if it happens.

Update 2 (2/10): Sumo Digital has now made the news official. Here are a couple of previews:

Update: Well, maybe not. It still may very well be happening, but it seems this blurb has already been removed from the Steam page. We’ll try to get an official answer for you soon.

Original (2/9): Snake Pass has a big name working on its soundtrack. According to the official Steam page, David Wise is handling the music.

Wise is one of the most well-known composers working in the gaming industry right right. In his early days, he worked on a bunch of games for Rare. More recently, he was involved with Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and the upcoming Yooka-Laylee.

We should have more on Snake Pass in the near future.

aeiowu recently announced TumbleSeed for Switch. This was made possible after the studio reached out to Nintendo this past summer.

Speaking with Engadget about the experience of bringing TumbleSeed to the new console, designer Greg Wohlwend said:

“TumbleSeed has a lot of the same values a Nintendo game has. It’s colorful and easy to get into. But it also has a lot of the things from the NES days, especially difficulty. We’ve spent a ton of energy on getting TumbleSeed to fit that combination of natural-to-learn mixed with challenging and fun, even after playing for two years. That’s how long we’ve been playing, and we still genuinely have fun with it.”

“We always felt like TumbleSeed would really be at home on a Nintendo console, so we cold-called them, and, luckily, they felt the same. I can’t speak for what’s happened in the past because this is the first time I’ve worked with Nintendo, but I can say they’ve been a joy to work with. They’re truly as excited about TumbleSeed as we are about being on the Switch, and so it’s been a really solid partnership so far.”

“There’s a wonderful invisibility to the console that I think all beautifully designed objects have. It gets out of the way and showcases the games like no other console I’ve owned.”

TumbleSeed doesn’t have a release date just yet. However, it’s currently targeted for spring.
