Loco Motive is their debut title. The title begans as an ambitious game jam project inspired by point-and-click games they loved as kids. Seeing the beautiful pixel art and humorous dialogue, we couldn\u2019t wait to collaborate with them to further develop this homage to an unsung genre in gaming history. With their collective experience (Adam was an Artist at Chucklefish, working on titles such as Starbound and Wargroove, and Joseph was a Lead Software Developer for 5+ years), we know Loco Motive is in good hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I find out more?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re hungry for more, be sure to follow Robust Games on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RobustGames\">Twitter<\/a> and as always check us out on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChucklefishLTD\">Twitter<\/a> for the latest information on Loco Motive development.
