What do a British video game firm, a space shooter, and a yak all have in common? Evidently a lot, based on the recent release of the game Big Sky by the developer Boss Baddie. They’ve taken to describing their new game as “Jeff Minter on E”. Jeff Minter is a software developer, known for his fondness of hairy animals and psychedelic-looking video games. By equating their game to Mr. Minter in an altered state, it seems they’re trying to say it goes way beyond what we’ve seen before in this style. I’ve yet to take a look, but it sounds like something fun to try. Currently available only for PC
