Every time I watch ALIEN I am transfixed thinking to myself "there's no way they've left themselves enough room to get the third horizontal line in that E without it looking like a squashed-in mess!" but no, every single time there it is, and it's beautiful. Most tense part of the movie tbh.

This weekend I opened up Unity and decided to make a prototype inspired by '10 second war', where you can record your actions and replay them via clones to try finish a level as quick as possible. Clone movements and actions are recorded, but enemies reactions are realtime.

Tango Gameworks (Hi-Fi Rush, The Evil Within) has officially relaunched, with a new look, website, and hiring for an unannounced action game. The studio was closed by Microsoft a few years after its acquisition, but revived by Krafton.

Atomfall is a really smart piece of design. A relatively small team who put together an open world RPG with loads of novel ideas. It was great to finally get answers to how they pulled it off.

I enjoyed the OG movies and the prequels of course, but as I kid what I really loved from Star Wars were games In 2008 GameTrailers did a comprehensive 10-part retrospective of all SW videogames (that released by that point) and it was so enlightening! Def a comfort watch now

17. As BIG fans of tea, post-apocalyptic stories, and vibrant landscapes, we of course had to check out
#Atomfall
โ and we were *delighted* for how accessible it is! โข๏ธ Auto-movement and auto-reload are super helpful. The text scaling, HUD customization, and subtitles rock. SO good.

You can try the Microsoft just released a Quake 2 demo that runs on genAI. It forgets where you are you each time you look at the floor and soft-locks when it's to dark. A technological marvel. You can try the "Copilot Gaming Experience" here:

Our review is in! Atomfall proves immersion and accessibility aren't exclusive, giving players a lot of freedom, but managing to keep them on track. It's a shame it misses some essential blind accessibility features but for the rest it receives top marks!

Atomfall is a gripping survival-action adventure that takes some of the best elements of Fallout and Elden Ring, and synthesises them into its own fresh mutation. Our review:

In a career of being nominated for things we know we can't win, I don't think I've ever been more sure of not winning something than the IGF for Excellence in Design last night. Somehow, it was also the first time I've been wrong. Properly stunned, hugely grateful, deeply confused.

I made a Doom source port that runs within a PDF file. PDFs support Javascript, so Emscripten is used to compile Doom to asm.js, which is then run within the PDF engine. Input/output is done by manipulating text input fields.

One of my biggest gripes being colourblind are sliders that shift the hue of the in-world colour's, they absolutely make things worse rather than better.

I know I'm a super biased fan who would huff a whole tank of copium to enjoy Stalker 2... ...but fwiw Stalker 2 is probably the most fun I've had with a release this year. It feels like playing Shadow of Chernobyl for the first time again, which is all I wanted.

The Half-Life 2 doc was great. Itโs good to rememberโฆ - Putting in the time really matters (10h+ 6d/wk) - Everyone feels uncertainty - Relentless iteration is key - Teaching the player in smart/immersive ways is so important - Gameplay (not story) is king - Cutting things is a positive

Rebellion shared more accessibility information and a release date for Atomfall. It sadly also mentions some missing features. While disappointing, we do appreciate the honesty in sharing negative news along with the features that we will be able to use.
