“Why is AI helping me write a song or tell a story? Send some shit through a black hole; do something that we can’t do. Or dig a ditch; do the shit we don’t want to do. Why is it coming after the stuff that we essentially need to do to be human beings?” www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

The Knightling triumphs because its purposeful open world is filled with whimsy and clever design choices. If you'd like to learn more about it, read this!

My action skydiving racing FPS Aerial_Knight’s DropShot drops Feb 17 on PS5, Xbox, and PC. You play as a guy bitten by a radioactive dragon, taking down mercs, dragons, tanks, and cows… all while trying not to mess up your fro. Give it a Wishlist it means a lot 🙂 youtu.be/Hl0ylC9SYuw?...

REMINDER: The Trump administration was required by law to release all the Epstein files by December 19 and still has not released 99% of the files

Did they.. know?

On my favorite games of 2025, in that weird meandering way I think about games and life and industry and everything. Thanks to @giantbomb.bsky.social for having me! giantbomb.com/articles/ram...

As an aside, I do think it’s worth noting that the current US admin illegally invaded another country and “arrested” (kidnapped) its president before it arrested anyone on the Epstein list.

My top 10 games of the year are: 10. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage 9. Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo 8. Blue Prince 7. Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream 6. Constance 5. The Knightling 4. Hades 2 3. Promise Mascot Agency 2. Wanderstop 1. Death Stranding 2: On The Beach

Games: Kunitsu-Gami, Advent Neon, Sunken Stones, Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Knightling, Peppered More in 🧵

It’s come to our attention we failed to include one of the games submitted in the trailers shown last night. While we get to the bottom of who needs to be punished for this grievous act please check out the trailer for The Knightling!

😶 #gamedev #indiegame #Silksong

One of the most intelligently-designed open worlds I've explored. Worth exploring for yourself!

Speaking of The Knightling... We couldn't afford to spend our entire dev budget on a trailer at THAT award show, but you can see it on Steam! And I'm so chuffed that even though this game is CRIMINALLY overlooked, 100% of our recent reviews were positive! 🛡️ store.steampowered.com/app/1471650/...

omg they rebranded ice cream

We've launched a new podcast tonight called, Beyond the Pixels. An industry-focused interview series with @nickjcal.bsky.social bringing you all kinds of insights and stories from around the games industry. Starting with 2 of the 34 ex-Rockstar employees who were fired in alleged union busting.

15. The Knightling One of my favorite games of the year, The Knightling is a brilliant semi-open world adventure where the titular sidekick takes center stage. With a satisfying parry mechanic, intriguing story, and astute puzzles, there is much to love here. And its orchestral music is majestic.

We're over the moon - The Knightling won the Dutch Game Award for Best Audio last night, celebrating our second collaboration with our dearest friends at @tumultkollektiv.bsky.social!

Our artists are starting to post their Knightling work on ArtStation and first up, befittingly, is a character concept art post by the unfathomably talented @supposedlydaphne.bsky.social. I fall in love with every single piece every time I look at it still www.artstation.com/artwork/L4dozK

The #SteamAwards are coming! Together with our friends at @tumultkollektiv.bsky.social, we have put an incredible amount of effort into creating the music for The Knightling! We would really appreciate your vote for Best Soundtrack! ❤️

🔥CONSTANCE IS OUT NOW!🔥 We hope you all enjoy and love our game as much as we did creating it 💜

I can tell not enough people are playing Hades II, or nobody's playing enough of it, cause if you do, you won't be able to shut up about it. What. A. Videogame.

If you're in Breda, for the next few weeks we're showcasing a selection of games from the Beeld & Geluid Archives. Our selection consists of student games that became full releases: The Blob, SCHiM and Bernband. Special thanks to their original creators for allowing us to showcase these games!

Some new stills of The Odyssey, very curious how Nolan is going to incorporate the Mercedes Benz in a natural way

one of the best soundtracks of the year easily, don't sleep on it

Still thinking about the “official” 2023 Future Class meetup after we had to pay for our own travel to LA/hotel/tickets to the Game Awards, only to stand on a sidewalk outside a Starbucks where they wouldn’t even cover the cost of our shitty coffees 🫠 www.gamedeveloper.com/business/the...

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award. The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

This is so surreal to visit/see! If you're near Breda, go and check it out :)
