We sat down and chatted with @remedygames.com's @samlakewrites.bsky.social back in July during this year's conference delving into the studio's DNA, and how this can be seen across both Max Payne and Alan Wake. Check out the full interview here: youtu.be/WoIZcHJ14Vk #DevelopConf

Modeled, printed, and painted in 3 days. I couldn't think of a better theme for Alan Wake 1 than Diver's Isle. This was an incredibly fun set to make. Also I just love the first game outfit. @remedygames.com @samlakewrites.bsky.social

We've been playing through the Alan Wake games recently - what a wealth of great music by @peppepappa.bsky.social and @samlakewrites.bsky.social! Amazing vocals here by #AmeliaJones 🎮♥️ #remedy youtu.be/cg2uFZskNKw

Casey has just realized that no one has made any fresh coffee for #CoffeewithCasey. Today will be a slow day at the office. #AlanWake2 #XboxSeriesX #VirtualPhotography #TheCapturedCollective #VPWorld #ThePhotomode @remedygames.com @samlakewrites.bsky.social

📣The Victor Initiative has a release date!! 📺 I'm incredibly excited to announce that not only is the game releasing in 2 weeks, but that it also features guest appearances from the amazing @inel.tv, @samanthabeart.bsky.social, @samlakewrites.bsky.social & @davejones.actor!!! See you on the 20th!!

The day had already started badly. Coffee running low. He had to call it in... There needed to be coffee, Or heads (or thermos caps) would roll. #CoffeewithCasey #AlanWake2 #XboxSeriesX #VirtualPhotography #TheCapturedCollective #VPWorld #ThePhotomode @remedygames.com @samlakewrites.bsky.social

Alan wake 2. It's a spiral @samlakewrites.bsky.social #alanwake2 #alanwake #spiral #mrscratch

This song still lives rent free in my head, and the entire section of Alan Wake II that it runs through will go down as one of my favourite ‘wtf?’ moments in all of gaming. I especially love @samlakewrites.bsky.social just having what appears to be the time of his life. youtu.be/uxs_HYw_mLk?...

My favourite #RMD30 memory has to be showcasing Alan Wake 2 for the first time in a major marathon, and creating this moment that went on to be shared by @samlakewrites.bsky.social and a couple of news outlets!! youtu.be/vYhYsr367vg?...

"Hmph," Casey thought as he found himself in the woods again. This dream had become all too familiar. Lost in the woods with no coffee in sight, he ran & wondered if he'd ever find his way out. #CoffeeWithCasey ☕🌀 #AlanWake2 #RemedyGames #VirtualPhotography #VPRepost @samlakewrites.bsky.social

At the 2025 Develop:Star Awards, we recognised the legendary @samlakewrites.bsky.social for his incredible contributions to the industry. Upon receiving the award he delivered a heartfelt speech that is now available to watch here ⭐ youtu.be/4SQvXP1Dics

Blown away hearing @samlakewrites.bsky.social speak at #developconf - when there’s such a strong existential threat to traditional arts from AI, hearing about his clear passion for what he’s making, pushing against the grain to bring so many different forms of art into #AlanWake2 felt powerful xx

…so that happened 🫠 the talk was amazing @samlakewrites.bsky.social! i probably made up half the views for yötön yo lol

The Develop:Star Awards 2025 Develop Star Award winner is Sam Lake @samlakewrites.bsky.social! Congratulations! ⭐️ #DevelopStars

Appreciated @samlakewrites.bsky.social using his Develop Star moment to note how rough and unsettling the current times are (and have been for a while) within this industry.

At @developconference.com last week, Remedy's @samlakewrites.bsky.social discussed why collaboration and teamwork is key, and how games are the best outlet for exploring deep, intricate narratives www.gamesindustry.biz/remedys-sam-...

This is going to be awesome 🔥. A brilliant vision from @abubakarsalim.bsky.social and @surgentstudios.bsky.social . An honor to be among these brilliant stars ❤️. DEAD TAKE coming soon.

it's magic

A great meeting here at @remedygames.com HQ.

I just love him so much. 💖🌲☕️ @samlakewrites.bsky.social #alanwake #alanwake2 #remedygames @remedygames.com

I love what @lostincult.co.uk is doing. Quality, style, depth. I feel I’m in the target audience for all of it ❤️

@samlakewrites.bsky.social I just finished my first fan-art for #AlanWake. This digital #Wallpaper takes inspiration from both games to create a rather extensive view of #BrightFalls and the area surrounding #CauldronLake with some very iconic locations from both games. I call it "Lightmare".

They waited patiently as the worms carved a map into the dead wood of the wall. This secret route would lead them out of the maze they were trapped in.

And finally our Develop:Star Award recipient this year is the key creative force in dreaming up Remedy’s (@remedygames.com) acclaimed catalogue of games, Sam Lake (@samlakewrites.bsky.social). #DevelopConf #DevelopStars

Alan Wake was released 15 years ago. Little did we know that beyond the lake we called home lies a deeper darker ocean green. Thank you for joining us on this journey through the night to its ports. @remedygames.com
