Pat: “It’s all good. He said yes.”
Nathan: “I’m so, like, doing this thing. Hopefully I’ll get to speak to PixelJunk Shooter director Shouichi Tominaga, PixelJunk Monsters and Racers director Rhod Broadbent and recruitment and PR chap Duncan Flett.”
Pat: “That would be very cool. And Dylan, too?”

According to a recent Twitter post from Dylan Cuthbert, Q Games is working on a PixelJunk 1-4 demo.

Here’s the tweet:

“About to go collect an order of MOS burgers for everyone still at Q working on the PixelJunk 1-4 demo”

Cuthbert told Wired back in March that his company was currently at work on PixelJunk 4 and other titles in the series.

There’s a video after the break of Dylan Cuthbert wandering about the Q Games office in Kyoto, showing off the PixelJunk team and explaining why no one wears shoes to work.

It’s mesmerising. Watch it.
