Indie puzzle game Cogs from 2009 gets a remaster
Cogs from Lazy 8 Studios originally released back in 2009, and gained a Native Linux version back with the Humble Indie Bundle 3 in 2011. Now, 16 years or so later, the developer has give it a small remaster. This is all starting to make me feel really old now. The third Humble Indie Bundle was really 14 years ago?
In a news post on Steam titled “Cogs Remastered!” the developer said:
I recently took some time to port Cogs over to an entirely different code base — from a custom C++ engine I wrote 16 years ago to C# on Unity. Thanks to a few folks on the forums who have helped me hunt down some launch-day bugs and encouraged me to support the legacy Cloud Save data.
This version should be better in just about every way — snappier, higher-resolution, and more aligned with modern APIs.
