We are so excited to announce that our corporate video, “Schell Games | The Game Studio Turning Impossible Into Reality”, was a Silver Winner at the 2026 Telly Awards!

Spotlights on our interdisciplinary team, highlights from our cutting-edge experiences, and a tour of our vibrant Pittsburgh headquarters all came together for a fantastic look at what we do each day.

Thank you so much to both the Telly Awards for considering our video and Ox Productions for editing!

Earlier this year, we at Schell Games passed the reins of Among Us 3D back to Innersloth. Our latest blog explores everything we encountered over more than four years, including brand-new design decisions to fit VR, accessibility modifications for a better experience, and even the fan community’s enthusiasm for the new format of the originally 2D game. We’re so eager to see where Among Us 3D will go from here!

While it might seem like “freedom” in a game can reflect the unstructured adventures that open-world games can offer, it can also refer to the freedom of choice that you have when playing a game like Pokémon: Pokopia!

You even have the agency to decide how Pokémon, ecologically, can enter your game’s narrative. Through luring mechanisms and specific decisions, you can make the choice to bring in a Pokémon you’ve really been looking forward to seeing (in this instance, Koffing!), rather than knowing you’re going through the same gameplay that everyone else playing the game is experiencing.

If you’re not super familiar with Pokémon: Pokopia, you might think that the gameplay only revolves around traveling the environment and battling Pokémon types.

In our latest Lens of the Month video essay, we're exploring how this new edition amplifies your ability to create within the landscape, from irrigating agriculture to managing massive collections of Pokémon workers for better resource collection or even building your own town generators for lighting.

You’re not limited in this world, like you would be in the traditional turn-based combat of previous games; Instead, you have the freedom to build your beautifully crafted, cozy town from the ground up, and feel guided along your adventure rather than boxed in.

The world of Pokopia is a masterful study in player agency and environmental design. While it presents a vibrant, inviting landscape, the game's true brilliance lies in how it balances boundless exploration with intentional structure.

In this short clip from our video essay, we apply Lens 7: The Lens of Freedom from Jesse Schell’s The Art of Game Design to dissect how this world manages the "paradox of choice." We explore the specific design choices that prevent players from feeling overwhelmed by too much freedom, examining how the environment guides the player’s journey without ever breaking the illusion of liberty.

Whether you're a game developer looking for tips and tricks to keep in mind for the next game you design or a fan of Pokopia trying to understand why this game resonated with you, this video details how Freedom can impact gameplay.
