Tony Warriner (Revolution Software) on 30 Years of Beneath A Steel Sky

Cressup speaks to Tony Warriner, the co-founder of Revolution Software, as 2024 marks 30 years of their adventure game classic Beneath A Steel Sky. He explains why it's his favourite game he's made, whether he could ever imagine it being remastered, his thoughts on the sequel Beyond A Steel Sky (which he didn't work on) and more on the adventure game / simple 2D platformer he's working on now, Wormhole Dungeon!
