This week @geoffkeene.bsky.social, founder of Abiotic Factor dev Deep Field Games, took me on a guided tour of his PC. He told me about thriving in Arc Raiders, struggling with Dying Light, and playing the old hits in Warcraft 2. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

We did an interview if you're into that stuff. gamemakersnotebook.libsyn.com/abiotic-fact...

No Rest for the Wicked = sleeper hit. Deeper than any Diablo, it's got all the Souls-like dreary/cozy vibes, extremely rich character cinematics, amazing art style, petting dogs and cats, and the combat is super punchy. Incredible. I would've looked right over it without the co-op+free weekend.

Really looking forward to checking out the milk carton color control strip-core that is the Marathon art style

This happened on one of my Stellaris colonies

Real booms don't need artificial adoption to grow. Nobody needed to be forced to start wanting lightbulbs in their homes because they actually solved problems people wanted solved.

This is technically abuse of the bug report system. But you're welcome.

The internet used to be good. www.webdesignmuseum.org/exhibitions/...

Always good to remind yourself that a government can make anything legal. Asking "was this legal?" is for sure the wrong question.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from all of us at Deep Field Games. Thank you for making this year one for the history (and science) books. See you in 1996 - and the many portal worlds beyond!

Getting so many good Abiotic Factor videos lately. youtu.be/AQmW3DJuhLY

There's some extremely mechanical with how they're all talking about the game. I swear the old Bungie vidocs used to describe things less in terms of "video game mechanics." Rubs me the wrong way. Game looks good, though!

Got rained on.

Uh "Best Co-Op Game" EXCUSE ME? 🫣 www.pcgamer.com/games/pc-gam...

On this chapter of "Criss plays Infinity Nikki"

We are cooked.

Slack seems to be down, I think this means I can go now

I lived off a partner for years - essentially - while working on Unfortunate Spacemen. It makes getting up in front of a crowd and talking about "my journey to success" feel priviledged and fake. But it's common and there is often no other option. Support structures matter, make sure you have one.

As I review game designer applications I can only ask game designers to do one thing: plz design games. Don't design "experiences" (whatever that means), don't just design board games, don't only design card games. Just make sure you actually design video games. For the video game design role.

The ARC Raiders withdrawal has set in.

Jealousy is not a good look

Found some fog.

I have some concerns about the implications of all of society being a whale farm, which means everyone else is the content for the whales. If you understand free to pay ecosystems it is... Worrying.

We were not made to know so many things at once.

My favorite work status

This bug report and social media have a lot in common.

Turns out it IS actually my circus, but I'm still not entirely sure where the monkeys came from.

Cooked.

Conventions are such a cool little temporary world where we just live in a walkable city with all of our friends.

Say I had a collection of digital videos I wanted to play on a TV, what's the setup people use now for this? Are people still using at-home Plex servers or is there something better now?

There's only one genre of youtube video I watch anymore and it's whatever this genre is

Just found out it's called the Suzuki Jimny, not Jimmy. Really messed up.

If you're okay with doing remote work to what is effectively Pitcairn Island, we are starting to look for a game designer at Deep Field, creators of beloved title Abiotic Factor.
