Since Xalavier Nelson, Jr. launched his game SCREW YOU, BEAR DAD! last October, its success has been astounding. Previously we mentioned the game’s front-page feature on Rock, Paper, Shotgun; but recently we learned that PC Gamer, both in print and online, singled out BEAR DAD for praise. To quote the magazine’s Christmas 2016 issue: The title implies silliness, jokes, light-hearted humour – and the game delivers on all that, but also weaves in a story of difficult father-son relationships in a way that’s unexpected and touching. It’s also incredibly well-written and very funny. Our artist’s cover artwork accompanies BEAR DAD in this article, just as it did in Rock, Paper, Shotgun last year. And this brings us to the image at the top. Tell Virgo is Nelson’s newest project, although little public information about it yet exists. We can confirm, however, that in mid-January Nelson hired our artist to paint the enigmatic cover above. Its reference points are classic, 20th-century posters and book covers, in the style seen here and here. We will keep our readers posted as Tell Virgo develops. In the meantime, we recommend following Nelson (@WritNelson) and our artist (@Magicalseaside) on Twitter for the latest updates on all of their projects. Still Eating Oranges -- source link
