"Slower production creates higher stakes, and higher stakes creates slower production" Excellent summary and analysis on the state of modern game production. Curious if any people actually in the industry agree with it or not. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVrf...

Does anyone else stay up way too late watching other people finish The Outer Wilds? It's the closest you can ever get to the one time in your life you get to do it yourself. Man, what a perfect game.

How does he know its wild or funny if he hasn't seen it yet?

Looking at this, I have come to a realisation. The first 3 are named Super Mario Bros. Then the series becomes Super Mario (other word). Bros isn't reintroduced until Wonder. Meaning the real Super Mario Bros 4 is actually Super Mario Bros Wonder. Everything else is non mainline.

Is this what they call Shoot Hardware? @giantbomb.com @grubb.wtf

Finally got around to starting The Witness. Super excited. Heard a lot of great things. But I just can't do these specific puzzles. Feels like I'm brute forcing them over and over and over. My brain doesn't have it. There's like 15 in a row, so I think I'm just done with the game. Sorry.

If I was in charge of your trailer, this would be the opening shot

I think we've found the winner

Damn. Looks like they nailed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ianq...

That's just Scorpion

I'm still pretty unconnected and new to this industry, but I got another email from a (pretty big) prospective client saying they found me via referral. So whoever is out there anonymously going to bat for me, thank you <3

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

Gonna try out some demos from the Computer World showcase. www.twitch.tv/oddiotv store.steampowered.com/developer/gi...

How do you have 30 minutes of video games and not a single dud among em? Loved every one of these trailers, and the interstitials were gorgeous.

My trailer for Puzzle Rogue is live! A great little Match-3 Rogue-lite Turnbased-RPG coming to Steam. It's a very difficult genre to trailer, so I went for something reminiscent of the classic arcade Attract Modes. store.steampowered.com/app/4221560/...

Old gaming magazines went so hard man

NextFest demos: Queen's Domain store.steampowered.com/app/4081520/... The vibe's are IMMACULATE. As someone who never played the PS1 classic, this felt exactly how I imagine people remember King's Field. It's depressing, it's lonely, it's slow. It's worth checking out. @biogenesis.bsky.social

One thing I've noticed during this Next Fest is just how good sound design and musical aesthetics has gotten. So many games so far have audio landscapes and languages that are either guiding you to heaven or punching you in the face (positive)

What is goin on in the world?? I genuinely cannot afford this right now.

I'm endlessly glad that these are the guys who bought Giant Bomb and use it to just make shit like this

And the music fucken rips!

store.steampowered.com/app/3819240/... Go grab 3 of your friends and this demo on Next Fest. This is no joke my GOTY so far. Helldivers meets Highguard in the Wild West with endless imagination. One of the bosses is a whole saloon. @farfarwest.bsky.social

I also love this. But zero in-game footage is crazy to me.

Prepping our #SteamNextFest coverage over on noclip_2 and the @noclipvideo.bsky.social Crewcast for later this month. If you're an indie dev planning to have your demo as part of the event, feel free to reply here, in my dms, or send me an e-mail (in bio)!

Minneapolis has been hurting for weeks, and Giant Bomb is joining forces with @minnmax.com to help families that have been affected. On Friday, January 30th at 5pm Central please join us and help raise funds during our ICE OUT charity stream. Donation link is LIVE: www.givemn.org/story/qexfdf

Played one game of Highguard. I don't think I get fast paced battle royale games where encounters with opponents seem to somewhat come down to who has the better gear/most armor. Also the map is way too large for 3v3.

I spent the weekend trying to process what's happening in my city of Minneapolis, Minnesota by creating this video. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Man. Kentaro Miura's final chapter of Berserk... Might be as perfect an ending as could be hoped for. I don't know if I should read any further.

I though Anthem had been gone and was waiting for a reboot this whole time??

BTW if you're ever curious "who da heck makes game trailers" @derek-lieu.com made a cool starter pack full of people from that side of the biz from indie to AAA. highly worth following them all if you ever wanted to check on that side of the industry.

Funnily, the client with the biggest, strictest and most complicated contract to sign is the only one to have screwed me over. While multiple clients who have not required any signed paperwork have actually given me more at the end of a project as extra thanks. (Still, always get a contract)

So I've been playing Arc Raiders since xmas, and I'm starting to worry that I don't get it. On a every level, everything is designed well. game feel, audio, art direction etc. All the individual parts are super high quality and work well together. But... am I just looting to build more loot?

Hey new followers! Here’s a starter pack of folks who do game trailer work 👀 Have a nice holiday 😙

This is the games writer equivalent of that guy who does reload animations with vacuums
