Remedy, creators of games like Max Payne and Alan Wake, posted some tweets the other day that have captured the attention of social media.

In the first tweet, Remedy introduces Uuno, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that the studio is employing for motion capture tests. The tweet contains the hashtag #YearOfTheDog, referring to the Chinese year of the dog, but quickly got a number of replies asking for more photos and details of the cute black dog.

Remedy was happy to oblige with a video of Uuno doing tricks.

Replies to this tweet include people calling Uuno "a heckin good doggo" and "the goodest boy in the world." Remedy would go on to explain in a further tweet that Uuno isn't starring in his own game or anything, they were just experimenting with different kinds of motion capture. With his popularity, though, the developers are considering using him for more.

In February, Remedy talked about their other projects in the work, including one they're preparing for next year.
