In a blog post that detailed the move, Slick Entertainment who are responsible for recently released co-op brawler game Viking Squad have revealed that the studio has been bought and made a part of Klei Entertainment, best known for their Don’t Starve game as well as all its associated bits and pieces.

In the post Slick founder and programmer Nick Waanders said that it would allow the three-person team moving across to focus on the fun part of the development, “making the games”. It’s worth noting that Waanders and the founder of Klei Jamie Cheng once worked together at Relic Entertainment so it’s not as if Slick are going into a workspace with people they’re not familiar with. They’ve even worked together since forming their own studios on a number of projects over the years.

The purchase means that the three people at Slick will now be working on Klei’s games, but also will develop the Slick existing properties with Klei, who has bought the rights to them along with the studio.

“I’d like to thank all of you for the decade of support,” Waanders wrote to his studio’s fans. “It’s been an amazing journey and we couldn’t have done it without you!”

Obviously we can’t say that the move will work out for certain, but given the shared past between the founders and their past co-operative work, things look good.

After a period in beta, the update that allows for Steam’s controller mapping features are now live for all in the latest client update.

This means that a great number of controllers for consoles now work with the ‘advanced mapping features’ that are a part of the Steam Controller Configurator, without the need for third-party programs to bridge the gap. This includes a number of third-party controllers for the PS4, although not all of them. It’s likely that if you have official controllers they’ll work perfectly fine with no issues from now on.

Here are the controller patch notes:

• Added XBox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configurator support. This allows all recognized controller types to use the advanced mapping features of the Steam Controller Configurator. Note that because X-Input currently lacks per-controller means of unique identification, all controllers of that type will share personalization and configuration settings. As they share the same inputs, Xbox 360/One/Generic controllers will all see each-others configurations when browsing. Automatic conversion will be attempted when loading configurations from other controller types.
• Unrecognized Generic X-Input gamepad style controllers will be recognized by the Steam Controller Configurator once their buttons have been assigned to match a generic gamepad layout.
• Recommended configurations specified for a game by the developer will now attempt to assign based on Controller Type.
• Added option to disable Guide Button issuing a Steam focus change. This is available through the Big Picture controller options menu. This allows better interoperability with other applications which use the Guide Button, such as PSNow.
• Added Single Button simple button mode for trackpads. This allows a trackpad to be treated as a single giant button.
• Fix for free-floating on-screen keyboard running very slowly if a game was open but did not have focus or was running windowed.
• Added independent horizontal/vertical scaling to joystick move and joystick mouse.
• Joystick Move mode no longer shows mouse sensitivity option unless mouse output is selected.
• Added additional support for third-party PS4 controllers, including some HORI, MadCatz, and Armor pads and fight sticks.
• Fixed a bug with PS4 triggers where they were being scaled incorrectly, leading to maxing out of the value too soon.
• Added ability to change X-input controller order from the Controller Options menu – so in multi-controller setups of X-input games, the mapping of physical controller to X-input index can be swapped around. Note that this currently only applies to controllers that have opted into Steam Controller Configurator support.
• Fixed Configurator Switch Controller interface not showing controller icons.
• Re-enabled Gamepad outputs for desktop configurations for users of third party programs which hook into applications via the desktop configuration.
• Added Xbox Controller Rumble Support
• Added ‘Turn Off Controller’ Support for PS4 Bluetooth and Wireless Receiver
• Added Open Big Picture controller action binding.
• Fixed a bug where Steam Chords wouldn’t work reliably when multiple controllers were connected and disconnected in a single session.
• Fixed volume being muted when connecting a Sony Wireless Receiver in Windows
• Fixed analog stick on-screen-keyboard interactions not working inside of Big Picture
• Fixed Guide Button not switching into Big Picture when Steam has focus but Guide Button Focus option has been disabled.
• Add support for Emio PS4 “Elite” controller

If you loved Limbo from Playdead and their more recent game, Inside I’ve got some good news for you. Seems the studio are already working on yet another game, with similar atmospheric vibes:

As you can see, it looks more spacey than the last two games. You also don’t seem to be playing as a child, although who knows what the person looks like under what seems to be a spacesuit. All I’m saying is, don’t totally rule out another game where you play as a child who suffers from a great many painful deaths as you play.

So far, this image is all we have for this new project. There’s no name, story or anything else attached to it yet, nor will there be probably for a little while. However from the image alone we can speculate that it will have a similar atmosphere to the last two games, possibly tying into them in some slight way. Even if they don’t, there’s bound to be some element of the creepiness factor to it.

Keep your eyes and ears open for more details, and we’ll tell you when we know more too.
