In cosmic roguelike The Carcass, you build a colony inside the corpse of a god that's slowly becoming aware of you
Hitherto, Turkish devs PiqFocus Interactive have specialised in cosy, laidback games like Lepidarium , in which you watch caterpillars bloom into gorgeous butterflies, and Easy Bubbles , in which you chillax with an aquarium of cute little fishies. Now they are making The Carcass, a text-based roguelike in which you carve out a colony inside the corpse of a spacegod. I am… curious to know what happened. The obvious explanation is that PiqFocus employ or commission a variety of people with different tastes and interests – some are passionate about recreating the charming orange-black livery of the Gulf Fritillary, while others really get a kick out of things like *checks notes* "bile fermentation" and the concept of a floating "clot bazaar" where people gather to trade dried blood.

That's exactly what Lv.4 GAMES has done with its new fan project : Metroid Prime Origins . It's a completely fresh adaptation of Prime that morphs it into an NES-inspired 2D adventure, complete with original sprites, sounds effects, and music. Read the full article on nintendolife.com
