THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

📆 ON THIS DAY in 2006 • 20 years ago! 😮 @8bitpeoples.bsky.social releases Information Chase, 6 mp3s of chiptune powerpop. It's since come out on CD & vinyl, & I've performed its songs to audiences who have loudly sung along, despite there being no words. What could be more heartwarming than that? 🙏

Fly through of part of a Keeper level directly in the Unreal Engine editor. Part way through I turn on all of the game objects the player doesn't see -- it takes a lot to make games work.

Four of us talk about different parts of the game while showing bts in Unreal!

Rom hacker @okimpala.bsky.social will soon be releasing a brand new Mana adventure built off Final Fantasy Adventure. Their previous NES hack "Zelda II - Amida's Curse" is an all-time great in my book.

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

Keeper was nominated for an Annie Award! We are up for Best Character Animation - Video Game. This is a huge honor! Incredibly humbled and thankful. This has been taking a while to even process, crazy!! 🫠 Congrats @leepetty.bsky.social and the rest of the team! 🎉🎉🎉

Psychonauts 2 is $8.99 on Steam buff.ly/LVaQijq Humble (Steam/GOG/DRM-Free) buff.ly/SqTYHGU GOG buff.ly/4dOWtT9 XBL buff.ly/Z9IY1iw Deck playable also on Game Pass Premium

Keeper is a uniquely fun project to support. Having played and captured the entire game several times over, the noir update was still surprisingly compelling. The vibe changed enough to require another full capture to understand how different compositions felt in monochrome.

New Keeper features! Protip: Turn on High Contrast Mode at the start of your playthrough, then toggle it off with LB in-game. Anytime you're unsure what to do, toggle it on to see what's important in the scene. You can do this in Noir Mode too.

New Game + is New Game - now! Black and White in HDR is my jam!

Here it is! Castlevania II: Enhanced Edition on the SNES! Huge shoutouts to Bizqwit for original NES hack, it make this game so much more polished and approachable. I'll drop some details in replies here; the hack is available here: mega.nz/folder/g5Jl1... or archive.org/details/cast...

Last call - we are only short on N64, GBA, and MD/Genesis.

If you're a fan of Max Ernst, Krull, and the Brothers Quay you should watch this!

Get in there! They're live now~

Twig knows your screen is made of fragile materials, so now she's gonna peck at it until it shatters the barrier between her world and yours. She'd really like you to watch this launch trailer for KEEPER once the glass breaks. Sorry about any cracked realities or damage to the veils between worlds.

Hey all, if you haven't checked it out yet, the game I composed music for, Keeper by Double Fine Productions, is available now for PC and Xbox. This was the best experience I have ever had writing music for a game. I hope you enjoy the beautiful poetry of this game.

Keeper is out now!

T minus 20 minutes till Keeper launches alongside a new trailer we produced internally. Keeper is gorgeous, and the new trailer came together easily; practically every shot is default camera gameplay/cutscene (only two shots got reframed with a detached cam). www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDmv...

A Note about KEEPER Spoilers: On our end, we promise we won't be posting spoilers on main until way post-launch (and even then, we'll do our best to give you all some time to play through the game and let it marinate). How can you help maintain the mysteries of KEEPER? Glad you asked! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Countdown to the KEEPER Launch Trailer is up on our YouTube channel if you want to get a tab ready (and there are some lovely in-game vistas you can enjoy while you wait)! The trailer and the game go live tomorrow morning (Oct 17) at 8am PT! youtu.be/CDmvkGUSWzI?...

📺 🎮 Lately I’ve been hooked on the "Psychonauts 2 Lost Levels" series over on @doublefine.com YouTube. The devs share some great behind-the-scenes insight, mostly around design stuff. If you’re into game dev, this is a must-watch. Here is the first episode:

FYI we put up a second episode yesterday and if you've ever wanted to know about The Brainframe or Coach Oleander's SUPER SECRET Garage that got cut from Psychonauts 2, you should watch this episode. He was supposed to have a mer-mech in there 🥲 youtu.be/xmVM_QyJ1Ck?...

25 Years Young today!

Notice the new set in some recent videos? During the office remodel we had the opportunity to design a small video studio. As DF was expanding into an adjacent suite, this was a great opportunity to improve our capabilities with something specifically tailored to our needs. A thread -

Yay! I did another @doublefine.com dev interview and JP was so interesting! THE CAVE is such a rad cult classic and hearing about its development was really fun -- watch the full interview here and do all the engagement things (like, comment, sub, share, sandwich, etc): youtu.be/D8FC1vM3Ilg

Double Fine turns 25 this week! Celebrate a quarter century of history with the @limitedrungames.com DF25 box set: 21 of our games and a huge pile of delights, inc. a history book, plushy, pin collection and replicas of our first ever merch — floaty pens and yo-yos. Pre orders open on Friday!

Don't watch many documentary/reality shows, so admitting a narrow frame of reference, but "America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders" feels similar to PsychOdyssey. From a production standpoint, it's fascinating to see something from a giant institution trying to be authentically human.

What a thoughtful review! It's always fun to see these pop up. Validation is a beast of craving that never subsides. Heavy are the shoulders for it sits perched upon your back, forever gnawing. A twisted claw upon your throat while the other cages your heart. Anyway, thanks for the video!
