Weekly Roundup time, fact fans! tinyurl.com/weeklyroundu... Requiem Sells Over 5 mil copies, Sony Faces Lawsuit in UK, DIY Retro Console GameTank Smashes Funding Goal, ClickOut Media Swamp Sites With AI SEO Garbage. #retrogames #ResidentEvilRequiem #gametank #PICO #PS5 #lawsuit

In a sea of live service games, Highguard is drowning. But someone's thrown the game a life preserver! tinyurl.com/highguardhig... Am I inordinately pleased with that pun? Yes. Yes I am. #Wildlight #Ancify #Highguard #LawBreakers #Concord #Hyenas #GamingNews

WORLD OF HORROR is coming to tabletops as @lostincult.co.uk reveal a board game version. Investigate the coastal town of Shiokawa and try not to go nuts and grow extra teeth, or get filled with holes. tinyurl.com/gomadandgrow... #Lovecraft #Uzumaki #eldritch #horror #worldofhorror

#ResidentEvilRequiem is out now! Did you know that? It's a very niche product so I imagine it slipped under a lot of people's radars. I know, I know, it's a zombie game, but it's supposed to be one of the good ones. Apparently, it has 1,542 prequel games. tinyurl.com/requiemevilc... #GamingNews

#ResidentEvil pop culture, anyone? Anyone? tinyurl.com/residentevol... From movies to books to comics and even stage plays, RE has evolved way beyond being a video game by this point. #ResidentEvilRequiem #PopCulture #GamingNews #survivalhorror

RESIDENT EVIL WEEK CONTINUES! I took a look at how the franchise has experimented with form and style over the years. Stick it in your eyeballs: tinyurl.com/residentexpe... DISCLAIMER: I unironically love Survivor. #ResidentEvil #Online #Lightgun #GamingNews #Capcom #Survivor #Experiment

Could #Highguard be gearing up for a relaunch, à la #Splitgate? Or is #Wildlight simply hiding from the recent #Tencent funding accusation? No one knows! OR DO THEY? tinyurl.com/highguardrel... #GamingNews

New #interview is up! I spoke to PIXEL DOORS about "ethical and sustainable" #publishing, got excellent #gamedev advice, and found out they want passion, not trends. If you have a #weird game to pitch, check it out: tinyurl.com/weirdoswanted #MadKingRedemption also gets a look-in!

#GamingNews, #Gaming_News, oh boy have I got #news about #gaming for yooouuuuu! #GameDevs are out on the proverbial street, Scottish streets become #SilentHill, $4,000 for a #handheld?! #2XKO/#Highguard and more! tinyurl.com/silenthillgoestoscotland

#GamingNews you might have missed this week: AYANEO charge $4K for a brick! Silent Hill goes to Scotland! Highguard and 2XKO lose developers! Hellraiser is now a survival horror! Mewgenics! tinyurl.com/silenthillgo... #SilentHillTownfall #mewgenics #RiotGames #Highguard #Hellraiser

#GamingNews to know when you don't know what news to know. THIS WEEK: #IronLungMovie! #NintendoDirect! #Publishing #Ethics for #gamedevelopment! Clunky hashtag use! #HorizonHuntersGathering! #Roblox! tinyurl.com/weeklyroundu...

With all the talk and focus in the #Videogame industry these days revolving around #AI it's always interesting to me to see new companies get a shitload of money for AI-assisted #gamedev -> tinyurl.com/aresinteract... Is this a good thing? I honestly don't know. #GamingNews #HeroesvsHordes

What on earth is happening with #Ashesofcreation ? I dug into the confusion the best I could, and let me tell you, it's absolute chaos. tinyurl.com/ashesofcreat... #MMORPG #GamingNews #StevenSharif #MLM

#ArcRaidersGame is currently suffering #DDoS attacks, just after releasing a decent new #Headwinds update. Full skinny: tinyurl.com/DDoSraiders #TheFinals is affected too. #GamingNews

Who hasn't got time to read #GamingNews every damn day? PROBABLY YOU! But don't worry, my ugly friend, because I've started rolling out WEEKLY ROUNDUPS. This week: #Epic #Ubisoft #Fable #ReturnToSilentHill tinyurl.com/ubisoftexplo...

FIGHT ME, YOU COWARD! League of Legends gets a beat-em up as 2XKO is out now on all major platforms, and Riot Games has outlined plans to involve the FGC in esports events. tinyurl.com/2XKOesports #GamingNews #esports #2XKO #RiotGames @2xko.riotgames.com @riotgames.com

ENEBA INDEPENDENT GAMING NEWS IS BACK! At least for now, so make the most of it, #gamers! Congrats to @hytale.bsky.social / @hypixelstudios.bsky.social for a decidedly successful Early Access launch! tinyurl.com/HytaleEarlyA... #GamingNews #gaming_news #Hytale #HytaleModding

Good news if you're a #GameDev with a solid plan for your game, or at least something beyond a test level - Kinetic Games are now opening their welcoming publishing arms. Why not give them a hug? #GamingNews #Phasmophobia

Two #LOL and #esports related posts in two days? Why not! #LeagueofLegends Esports 2026 has revealed its calendar and it's STACKED. #GamingNews

Good news for #LeagueofLegends fans as Season One kicks off on Jan. 8, with a Demacia theme. #GamingNews #LOL

Splitgate 2's return has had something of a soft relaunch, and the same is true of my new #gamingnews site. If you liked what I covered before, DIG IN!

Happy New Year, folks! Back to the grind. Gaming news updates on their way, as well as new music and other FUN STUFF!

THE DAILY RESPAWN is a brand new video game news site. If you liked my reporting on the last site, come check it out!

GameTank is a New Open-Source Retro Console Fully open-source retro console with free schematics, 3D-print files, and an SDK for 6502-powered development. 8-bit inspired hardware that supports C/Rust/C++ game development and delivers enhanced features like parallax scrolling and fluid sprite…

Working on some new news stuff. Ssshhh!

eneba.com/hub/news/ is dead. Despite having a steadily-growing reader base, interviews with big names in the industry, and a noted high level of journalistic integrity, the Powers That Be have decided that Eneba Independent Gaming News isn't worth keeping.

#SleepAwake by @eyesoutofficial.bsky.social and @blumhousegames.com is out literally RIGHT NOW. A world caught in the grip of self-inflicted insomnia. Terrible things happen to those who sleep, but staying awake isn't particularly safe, either. tinyurl.com/wakeywakeyeg... #NIN #SpecOps #GamingNews

Is it a comeback tour, a genuine love of indie games, or another grab at self-promotion? Only @piratesoftware.live knows: tinyurl.com/indiecembers... #Indiecember #indiegames #gamedev #stopkillinggames #twitch

I can't fault #IOInteractive for getting a little nuts with guest stars for #Hitman - the latest is #Eminem and you can try it out now all through the month. tinyurl.com/hitminem #SlimShady #Agent47 #Assassin

Thank you @dcybercherries.bsky.social for giving me a legit reason to use a "Don't Fart Together" heading in my article tinyurl.com/dontfarttoge... DON'T SCREAM TOGETHER is out on Dec 3 for just $4.99 at launch. AAAIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! *parp* #Coop #horror #foundfootage #GamingNews

What's that in the mist? It's a bike! Best not to look what's following it, though. QUITE A RIDE from @alexgoodwindev.bsky.social is being published by @silverliningint.bsky.social - aside from obvious comparisons, it also features a world impacted by global player actions! tinyurl.com/spokeydokies

Is AI use in games a curse or a boon? Tim Sweeney has historically held a "both sides" mentality, and now agrees that @valvesoftware.com doesn't need an AI disclosure on Steam. Do YOU agree? Plenty certainly don't: tinyurl.com/eenymeenytim... #AI #gamedev #Steam #Epic

The recent Cold Fear delist/relist is a likely test run for what we'll see with other Ubisoft IP now owned by Atari. Behold, as I go full Charlie Day on the EVIDENCE: tinyurl.com/coldfearhota... #ColdFear #gamepreservation @atari.com @ubisoft.com #Darkworks #Ubisoft #GOG #atari

If you had "Tarantino collab" on your Fortnite bingo card, then congratulations: tinyurl.com/killfortnite #FortniteNews #KillBill #GamingNews #Epic @fortnite-game.bsky.social

Where do you stand on #liminalspace art? I love it, although there's a lot of half-arsed content that doesn't understand how it works. POOLS by @tensori.fi is not one those things. Now, #PS5 gamers can succumb to existential fear: tinyurl.com/intothedeepend #VR #POOLS #retro

I used to play Future Perfect on GameCube - my mate who lived a few doors down and I would routinely make levels and then pop round each other's flats to fight each other. On the levels, not in real life. tinyurl.com/timesplitter... #TimeSplitters #scififun #Rewind @ts-rewind.bsky.social

Oh boy, it's a surprise #ProfessionalHairdresser album! And what's this - it's made from old drug PSAs? You might want to give up barber beats, but they'll never let you go. professionalhairdresser.bandcamp.com/album/the-do... #barberbeats #plunderphonics #psa #drugs #smoothjazz #downtempo

Technically released yesterday, but shadowdropped last week, Total Chaos is a rebuilt #DOOM II mod and newest survival horror to feature lumpy zombies. @wadaholic.bsky.social is the dev behind it AND a @wetaworkshop.bsky.social VFX whizz. tinyurl.com/giantnakedman #TotalChaos #horrorgame #zombies

I got serious Mandela Effect from this: I always thought it was "FarCry" because that's how the logo looks, but it's supposed to be written as "Far Cry". THE MORE YOU KNOW. Far Cry TV show in the works: tinyurl.com/farcrytv #AlienEarth #ItsAlwaysSunny #FarCry6 #FX

New #interview is up! If you missed the #Dreadmoor reveal in April, hopefully you caught it again recently with the @digitalvortexent.bsky.social partnership announcement. Details on this and more: tinyurl.com/dreadmoor #horrorgame #fishing #DREDGE #PacificDrive #postapocalyptic #GamingNews

Good news for #RetroGame fans and #gamedevs, especially if you're into #OpenSource projects: #GameTank is an 8-bit console available as either a DIY project or prebuilt, with its own SDK. Deets: tinyurl.com/gametank #8bitNews #retro #c64 #TechNews @gametank.zone

If you've got a PS5, a hankering for radiation, and like weird anomalies, then buddy you better grab your Geiger counter, because S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is out today: tinyurl.com/hideousfreaks #STALKER2HeartOfChornobyl #STALKER2 #TheZone

Anyone not clear on what the recent announcement involving @unity.com and #Epic actually means might want to give this an eyeball: tinyurl.com/gamingmetave... Also, concerns about this being the start of a "monopoly" are frankly bananas. #Unity #Fortnite #gamedev #GamingNews #TechNews

I used to play #GuildWars back in my halcyon university days, when it and #CityofHeroes would occupy my time more than they probably should have. I'm tempted to jump back in, are you? --> tinyurl.com/guildwarsref... #GamingNews #MMORPG @guildwars2.com

In gamedev, if you're using a placeholder asset, best practices involve marking it as placeholder so garishly and offensively clearly PLACEHOLDER that you can't possibly miss it. Also flagging that asset in the dev process so it can be identified quickly before the final build.

Working in the game industry

Alright, here's our look at the Analogue 3D! youtu.be/wyIDr_PDIbI

This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies. #indiegame #ps5 #xbox #steam #indiedev #gamedev
