    After Johnnemann Nordhagen split from Gone Home developer Fullbright, he formed his own studio called Dim Bulb Games. Now, he's giving everyone a peek at his next game, Where The Water Tastes Like Wine. And when we say "peek," we mean peek; there's no information regarding what to expect from the title, though several pieces of concept art depict a stylized setting with possible mythological connotations. One image depicts a man playing cards with a wolf that appears to be wearing a dress - a reference to Little Red Riding Hood perhaps - while another image shows an enormous bird calling down lightning from the sky. As for the project's title, "where the water tastes like wine" are also lyrics to the 1968 single "Going Up The Country" by Canned Heat. We'll leave putting the clues together to you.

    Johnnemann Nordhagen, the programmer behind critical darling Gone Home, has opted to form his own studio. "Hi Twitter. I'm starting a new game development studio: Dim Bulb Games," Nordhagen recently tweeted, alongside a link to the new studio's website. Visiting that URL offers no further information on the developer's plans, though it does offer an official logo and a notification that Dim Bulb is "[a]n independent game studio based in San Francisco." Alongside his work in Gone Home, Nordhagen's resume also includes the Minerva's Den DLC for BioShock 2, an addition that many fans hold in higher regard than the original game.
