- Would you want to see Hypnospace Outlaw live in concert? - 8 July 2026
Hi everyone, long time no talk! A little while ago, I was at a Stardew Valley concert. We'd been wondering for a while whether anyone would be interested in going to such a live concert for Hypnospace Outlaw, and in that moment I started to ponder outloud once again to my wife about it. A moment latter, the girl sat next to us turned and said "I'm sorry, did you make Hypnospace Outlaw?... And did you say a Hypnospace concert?". She then proceeded to gush about how heck yeah she'd go to a Hypnospace concert. So then, Hypnospace fans, it's time to tell us -- would you be interested in going to a live concert? Would you want to see the likes of Jay Tholen, the Chowder Man and more live? We're looking to gather interest in such a series of concerts. If this does interest you, simply do the following:Click here to register your interest & let us know where you'd like to see Hypnospace's belo…

- Steam Cloud Saves are now ENABLED for Hypnospace Outlaw! - 4 October 2023
Hey enforcers! LONG TIME NO SEE! We’ve got a small update for you regarding Steam Cloud Saves, which we’ve finally enabled for Hypnospace Outlaw! There’s a couple of important details we wanted to share with you, so you’re across all of it: Once your saves are synced via Steam Cloud, the save files uploaded to the cloud will be considered your canonical save files, and they will sync automatically (as long as you have an internet connection), overwriting any previous, local saves. If you've purchased and installed Hypnospace via Itch, GOG, or otherwise in addition to Steam, this will overwrite those save files as well!! Any mods installed on one device must be installed on your other device(s) BEFORE you load the save file!! Otherwise mod-related save data may be lost, and in some cases may break your save If you’re playing on a Linux device or Steam Deck, when you load your save on a W…

- Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer review: a boisterous Hypnospace spin-off that's an obnoxious gem - 1 June 2023
I put olives in my bolognese. Olives, objectively, do not belong in a bolognese. But without fail, I’ll dunk half a jar of those salty little bad boys into my bubbling wok without hesitation. Peppers? Why not. Carrot? Absolutely. Spinach? Don’t mind if I do. My bolognese is about as authentically Italian as Super Mario, but it doesn’t matter. I’m not trying to make Massimo Bottura cry by reminding him of his nonna’s cooking. It’s a dreary Tuesday night and I’m craving my olive-laden concoction. I’m making this bolognese just for me. Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer reminded me a lot of my bolognese. It’s a game created for particular tastes, a unique proposition that sort of defies conventional thinking. A big, bold swing that - if you have the palate for it - is absolutely brilliant. Read more

- It's time to cry to Christmas Pain In Christmas Town - 14 December 2021
Like many people, I've had a difficult year. My dad died, an uncle died soon after, and everything is a lot, you know? Even in the best of years, I find Christmas challenging. That's why I'm filling my ears with the maximalist sounds of a song which knows true suffering, a song from a fictional musician in a video game. Reader dear, it's that time of year: if you've not already started, pour a cocoa and join me for Christmas Pain In Christmas Town. Read more
- Update: PUBG Mobile's latest skin being renamed to remove reference to Hypnospace Outlaw - 22 July 2021
Update: The developers of PUBG Mobile reached out to Hypnospace Outlaw creator Jay Tholen to explain the situation via Twitter . Apparently the skin's original name in Mandarin translates to "Golden Diva" and was designed without Tholen's work in mind. However, "An individual on our localization team saw the visuals for the skin and was reminded of your game. Rather than adopt the literal translation, 'Golden Diva,' the team member decided to change the name to Hypnospace Diva, not considering the consequences or implications of doing so. Those responsible for approving the localization were not familiar with Hypnospace Outlaw, and so were unaware of the name's connection to your game.".. Read more.
