Devlog and news from Hardline Interactive, an independent game studio in Worcester, England.https://hardlineinteractive.com/en-gbhttps://hardlineinteractive.com/news/hardline-interactive-is-here/https://hardlineinteractive.com/news/hardline-interactive-is-here/A home for the studio's games, and a first look at what's coming. Yarnling is first, with four more in the works.Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT<p>Hardline Interactive is my game studio. I'm Taylor Gibbs, and I make games on my own in Worcester, England. This site is where they'll live: a page for each game, and this devlog for news as things ship.</p> <h2>First up: Yarnling</h2> <p><a href="https://hardlineinteractive.com/games/yarnling/">Yarnling</a> is a little knitter that lives along the bottom of your screen. Every key you press is a stitch, so its scarf grows across your desktop while you work. Finished pieces earn yarn for hats, glasses, new patterns and bigger projects, and now and then a cat drops by to play with the tassels.</p> <p>It never records which keys you press, only how many. It's coming to Steam for Windows at £2.49, and the trailer is on <a href="https://hardlineinteractive.com/games/yarnling/">its page</a>.</p> <h2>What else is in the works</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Knock Twice: Resistance Doorman.</strong> Lyon, 1943. You keep the back door of a Resistance cell beneath a family bakery, and decide who comes in.</li> <li><strong>Creator Life Simulator.</strong> From your first upload to running a creator media company.</li> <li><strong>Dev Studio Simulator.</strong> A first-person sim about running a software studio, from a garage to an office full of staff.</li> <li><strong>Hearthwake.</strong> A fantasy roguelike deckbuilder where every run brings home materials to rebuild a burnt-out village.</li> </ul> <p>Each one gets its own page when it's ready to show properly.</p> <h2>Keeping up</h2> <p>New posts land here and in the <a href="https://hardlineinteractive.com/rss.xml">RSS feed</a>.</p> hello@hardlineinteractive.com (Taylor Gibbs)
