"Sapphire and Steel" TV series strongly inspired @SWTD_Game. We just noticed the episodes are now on Youtubes for free. An enormous recommend, also lends a clear insight into TCR's DNA - somehow sci-fi, somehow horror, but also eerily ordinary. Enjoy. 🖤 youtube.com/playlist?list=…

We know many have enjoyed the character of Fabien in @VtM_Bloodlines 2. Enjoy this great extended interview with the immensely talented voice actor Ronan Summers aka our Fabien discussing his craft and the experience working on the game. 🕵🏼🩸 youtube.com/watch?v=HYOGuo…

We adore people learning these awesome skills themselves, experimenting, making art, and to think our games had something to do with it - wonderful stuff. If you’ve made something inspired by our games, we’d love to see it - contact(A) thechineseroom dot co dot uk. 🔥

Some tech talk - Built primarily in Blender, rendered in Cycles, textured in Substance Painter, edited in DaVinci Resolve. Issa used FL Studios for scoring - "a short synth sequence with effects I learned about after watching a few Youtube tutorials".

Up there with the nicest type of email to receive - folk showing us art they made inspired by our games. Issa created a self-described "cozy dark sci-fi thing", in which @SWTD_Game influenced it being darker and with some Lovecraftian elements added. 💙 youtube.com/watch?v=R8sNw7…
