He helped found the studio 16 years ago and it’s most known for developingSuperbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EPin 2011 andSuper Time Forcein 2014:

In some addition tweets,Vella stated that"Capy’s in an amazing spot these days – I’m certain their best work is yet to come." Which, coming from the founder himself is great news for the company. In terms of his own plans, he’s apparently planning a big move and already has another position inthe gaming industrylined up. It’ll be interesting to see what he does next in his very long and storied gaming career.

The latest title Capybara released wasBelowinDecember of 2018. Whileinitially unveiledback at Microsoft’s press conference at E3 2015 and before then at E3 2013 as simply a dark and roguelike adventure title. It was originally slated for a 2016 release but then wasdelayed indefinitelyuntil finally revealed for its final release date two years later.

In total, Capybara Games’ adventure titleBelowÂhad been in development for half a decade before finally releasing for PC and Xbox One. Even more miraculous was the fact that it was well worth such a long development cycle, according toour previewof the title at PAX East 2018.

Before then Capybara releasedthe Switch versionofSuperbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EPÂon November 30th of last year. Capy also made headlines earlier this year when they revealed that the Twitter integration inÂSword & SworceryÂhas also beenremoved for the Switchiteration due to the way in which the platform has fallen apart over the years.

Sword & Sworcery’sÂcreative director said a few months ago that the company now wants “nothing to do” with the social media platform which led to them deleting its functionality for this version of the game.
