I share your philosophy of beautiful and spiritually enriching games that are an experience for the heart, mind and soul. As a concept artist who shares this vision of what the medium could bring to the table I admire and look to you as the beacon of ultimate artistic expression through gaming. I’d love to be a part of that vision in some way, shape or form.

Hang in there, the new game will be ready when it really feels ready. I’m guessing most people that have played the previous games will patienty be waiting to enjoy a new experience.

I for one look forward to the day my baby girl of almost 1,5 years will be old enough to have a go at flower!

Thanks for being different!

Journey was the first only game that made me real emotional. Still sad that I completely forgot about it years ago only to find it again now while browsinf through things. Finding another nameless robed fellow that helps and waits whenever stuck throughout the entire game only to find our that theyre no sim

Journey was the most touching experience I ever had playing a game, but i hope everyone can manage not to have any expectations concerning the following games. You were free in mind and relaxed before, so don’t xhange that 🙂

I’m a therapist who has loved video games since I was a little boy. I think your games have therapeutic potential, and one day I would like to incorporate them in my practice. Thanks again, and keep using that incredible Cello.

I am a big fun of Journey and Flower. I’ve been playing computer games almost my entire life. Started with Atari 800XL, then C64, Amiga…

What really strikes me is how similar most of the games are today. If you take broad action/adventure genre into account it is so sad that violence/killing is the main theme of majority of those games. Surely they look better and better but… it is like watching same movie remakes all the time.

Your games are so different and that is a very good thing. Thank you and keep up great work!

Time flies. I remember when I first laid my eyes on flower mid 2009 when a buddy of mine let me borrow his ps3 to play mgs v sons of the patriots. And I told myself what is this? Never really gave it to much attention….

As I grew up playing video games I’ve always loved rpg games. I miss the feeling how games can blend peaceful music as your reading getting to know world the characters are living in. Now everything is just falling apart. Sure there’s great games, but nothing like back in the day.

That feeling was lost and Im just confused on what kind of video games to love again. Grandia 2, brave fenser musashi, chrono trigger, final fantasy 8, I feel today that I have to play videogames, because everyone is playing. Everyone has forgotten what a game truly is. Its about emotion and connecting with the game and that’s what every single one of you do at TGC.

When I finally said to myself I wanna play something different something new, I tried flower. And I will say and not ashamed I was lost…because it was amazing and an escape of reality. I watched your videos downloaded the theme you get the idea..I was a fan. You brought that feeling back with flower. The feeling of being a kid running in the field with a kite lauging, smiling. It was a kid again.

Journey, what can I say. I probaly played it over 10 times and still couldn’t get over, I was born for this. Just plain Beautiful. Your games is all I have downloaded on my ps4 and from time to time I play them for its music and feeling. Including flow of course haha. But there’s no dought in my mind that your new game is going to as extraordinary then the last three and I can’t wait to experience another teary moment from it. I love you all and congrats on your 10 year anniversary.

It was the first time I truly understood how personal a digital experience can be. Please keep pushing those boundaries and if you need a beta tester you have found one.

Because it was beautiful and I was in awe. It was the first time I truly understood how personal a digital experience can be.

I am a middle age Afrian-American woman. I do not enjoy the violence and zombie themes. Or the feel of the games I have come across. For example, Big Little planet is beautiful and I love the narrator (Steven Fry), but it has a 2D feel that I do not like unless it is Galaga. Flower and Journey are beautiful, enjoyable to play and no “undead” to be found in either of theme. I have not experienced Flow yet. Thanks for the great work.
