Comment un studio fondé par les têtes pensantes derrière Call of duty Black Ops, Black Ops 2 et le mode Zombie a pu fermer sans jamais sortir de jeu ? Dave Tach revient sur Deviation Games (2020 - 2024). Une histoire sans vilain, mais avec pas mal d'enseignements à retenir. 📰 80.lv/articles/why...

Allez, pour cette rentrée, je cherche un nouveau taf 👀 Dispo à partir d'octobre, plutôt sur Paris et dans le jeu vidéo, mais je reste ouvert au mode hybride / à distance et à d'autres secteurs ! Si vous avez des pistes ou besoin de plus d'infos, on peut en causer en privé / de visu avec plaisir o/

me playing a metal gear solid game for the first time

Annnnd it's release day, for reference, it's 1/100 of how it was for the first release day of HD2

We make games quicker by HIRING PRODUCERS JUST HIRE A PRODUCER DO YOU KNOW MUCH TIME IS WASTED CHASING AND RE DOING SHIT IN PROJECTS WHICH DONT HAVE PRODUCERS JFC

Oh and yes, we're doing a Halo warbond! Feels super weird seeing this happening for real, I had to pinch myself every week or so for the past few months. youtu.be/2O_9hwQ8jLw?...

I wrote Pinky Process instead of Pinky Promiss, and I think it should be called like that when you don't document and share your process properly

Just found an old Ghost Recon notebook that I never used!

I think all producers should take Andy Cohen as an inspiration when doing post mortems/retros

Two more weeks ❤️

Merci @silenceonjoue.bsky.social pour la section sur Helldivers 2 ! J'ai beaucoup ri à l'âne dote sur la vidéo de la pelle, les gars de la prod vidéo sont dingues ❤️ shows.acast.com/silence-on-j...

How are Trump's economic policies impacting you? Let me give you a hard example. 🧵

Is getting into Godot during my summer break a good idea? Any suggestions on what to start with to learn?

Blade Runner: Are you a replicant? Suspect: Um — no Blade Runner: Hey! That pause was an em dash

This is his time.

I just wish we could do a Helldivers helmet for an F1 driver on one race

I'm taking a little bit of pride for this but ffs timing is not fun sometimes

My partner discovered that Lisa from blackpink is playing Helldivers 2 in two of her videos and I'm enrolled in a plan to have her visiting Stockholm now

Sony appears to be removing regional restrictions on their Steam/PC games God of War Ragnarok steamdb.info/sub/833972/h... The Last of Us Part II Remastered steamdb.info/sub/1219787/... Spider-Man 2 steamdb.info/sub/1219797/... Helldivers 2 steamdb.info/sub/137730/h...

This and Vagrant Story and FF12.

@wingfrog.bsky.social some inspiration for future merch 😏

I think a trap many artists (+ teams) make is to overestimate the importance of the quality of singular assets, and undervalue how they are assembled, how they are blended together. You get a lot more out of a consistent, harmonious environment with a good mix ratio than with only good models.

LinkedIn people making long posts about Helldivers 2 or other games will always be a mystery to me... It's like having your neighbour looking at your window and writing a book about it, very little context, lots of assumptions

Nice little surprise this morning, thanks @official-aias.bsky.social !

emotional day for me. managed to lead my team & release Rift Riff being caretaker of my wife (long covid, hasn’t been out of bed this year) and our 2yo son. i’m exhausted. proud. anxious. it would make my day if u can repost, buy, enjoy, review🙏🏼 Rift Riff: store.steampowered.com/app/2800900/...

Where do I put Helldivers 2 with that 🤔

@panic.com aurait versé plus d'un million de dollars aux devs tiers sur Playdate, la petite console indé jaune à manivelle. L'an dernier, Panic avait partagé le chiffre de 70K consoles vendus et aujourd'hui, on apprend que 289 305 jeux ont été vendus. 📰 www.gamedeveloper.com/business/pan...

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Consolation prize of not going to baftas: styling the devs for the ceremony

Me speaking french at work

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

THIS!!!

A couple of hours into Avowed, and it gives me a "gagner la guerre" vibe, the world building is fantastic, and goes away from the classic fantasy like the book did. Something more Italian Renaissance with a touch of magic.

Seeing F1's live stream showing Atlassian being William's main sponsor makes me anxious... Are they gonna make jiras for the drivers?

My game Dawnfolk is finally out! Thank you so much for sticking with me until the end. ❤️ Are you ready to rebuild your realm and bring light back to the world? 🔥 🔗 Play now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2308630/... This time, I’m asking: please share! 🙏🔁 (fun facts below 🧵)

Absolutely not Helldivers post, but promo time for my old friend Darenn Keller who released Downfolk today! If you're into Civ, that was one of his inspiration store.steampowered.com/app/2308630/...

A new update for Democracy! A lot of love on this one, small improvements, quality of life fixes... This was also a great way to get back from vacation. store.steampowered.com/news/app/553...

Are trends a thing in game production? I've seen studios going from cross discipline based teams, to craft, then back to cross. And this over the span of ~10 years

Des millions de joueurs et joueuses ont combattu pour le compte de la «Super Terre» dans «Helldivers 2», qui reprend les codes des dictatures pour mieux les tourner en ridicule. Une exception parmi les jeux grand public. https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/culture-et-idees/250125/jeux-video-l-un-des-c…

What I love about taking a full Christmas break, shutting all social media for the period and recharging batteries... Is that I have a high probability to get food poisoning! Here I am, back from the depth of my stomach

Very good high level thread! Of course this comes in different formats depending on the size of the company. Having been small and big stufios, then seeing Arrowhead going through different setups, I'd say one of the key is that this art/design/engineering trio stay strong and "state of the art".

Here is a collection of stuff I learned over the years about direction and production of games 🧭 These worked for me, hopefully it can inspire or be useful to you. Thread with #gamedev tips starts here 1/ 🧵

Omens of Tyranny preparation thread🧵 First of all... What is it? This update constitutes the first step of what we call "Arc 3" for Helldivers 2. The key was to offer something memorable. Obvious choice then to prepare the invasion of a long awaited foe of Super Earth: the Illuminates!

Omen of Tiranny is now out, it's almost 5AM in Stockholm and I'm running back to bed. But this is the view from our release operation, and I'll definitely do a thread about how it works once I had a proper night sleep 😴
