‘The Stomping Land’ Arrives On Steam Greenlight
I don’t know about you, but the idea of grabbing my tribal homies so we can go out and see who can shoot an arrow into a T-Rex’s soft eye socket sounds like so much fun. In The Stomping Land, you can do just that. Maybe. You do have bows and arrows and I’m pretty sure there are Tyrannosaurs, but the mechanics of getting an arrow into the soft flesh surrounding an unsuspecting T-Rex’s beautiful, beady eye is currently unknown to me. Even still, this game looks incredible. See it in action after the jump.
See? It kind of looks like The Forest, only with dinosaurs. If you’d like to help it see the light of day, you can vote for it on Steam Greenlight.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
