Screen Burn: NoCode Rebrands

Whoa, okay, so get this—NoCode, you know, that Scottish game dev? They just pulled a fast one and switched up their name to, um, Screen Burn. Yeah, wild, right?

So they spill, on their website or somewhere online (I kinda lost track), that they felt like the whole “NoCode” shtick just didn’t vibe with their style anymore. I mean, they kicked off back in 2015 with this whole no-coder game-making mantra. They did these cool projects like Stories Untold and Observation. And now, guess what, they’re dabbling with the Silent Hill: Townfall project for Konami. Pretty rad, right?

And apparently, now they’re like, knee-deep in coders. A coder over here, another there—like rabbits they just multiplied. So they were like, “Hey, this name? Not so us anymore.” Bit like when you buy a cat and name it Dog just for fun and later realize, well, it’s confusing.

Oh, and they shared this tidbit about being “NoCode” before it became a buzzword for app dev and training stuff. Their inbox is apparently a hot mess—imagining flooded with random spam about coding tutorials or something. Who can even manage that, right?

Then, comes the soul-searching part. “If not NoCode, what?” they pondered, or maybe someone just randomly blurted, “What’s our thing?” And boom—epiphany! Vintage gadgets. I mean, think old TVs, those funny floppy disks that were amazing frisbees. Their games? They wanna be those unforgettable moments like when you hear a song from high school and all the nostalgia hits. Like visiting an arcade where one game refuses to let go of the screen—burned right in.

Anyway—what’s in a name, right?
