The games industry ATM is so weird. Likely new consoles in 27/28 need new games, but it feels like studios are closing all the time. I wonder if back-compat is what they will lean on. What will they do when they have fewer games for launch? We need another Xbox 360 indie games/dev moment.

Super proud of this episode of Voices from Beyond, an audio drama which tells the story before the events of Subnautica 2... I think it's our best yet. 😊

Personal theory on RAMpocalypse: Sk Hynix gets bought out by a bigger player who needs RAM, (their market cap is lowest of the big 3 manufacturers). If Apple don't get into the DRAM themselves like they did CPUs, I suspect they might buy them to keep their prices and stock 'reasonable' for consumers

Really proud of this one, and the team making Subnautica 2. More to come!

The games industry is in such a dire, yet weird state. The industry money is bigger than ever, the new consoles are likely only a few years away, and need for launch titles (which take years to make) is massive... we should be having a hiring and gaming boom. So why are so many studios closing? 🤔

Watch Donya and myself answer and discuss some of your most asked Subnautica 2 questions! 🎥

Can't wait for you all to play the original Subnautica on your phones while you wait for Subnautica 2 Early Access! 😊

Been working on this for a while.... enjoy a first-look at Subnautica 2! 😊🐟

I was around my little brother for far too long, it seems, and this is what the experience led me to create XD

Slightly disappointed that the new Space Precinct Blu-Ray is AI-upscaled, might be Topaz Video AI. I recognise the AI upscaling patterns and the strange sharp straight lines from the blinds and mess-up of badges in this example. It's not a bad upscale, just wish it was a completely new film scan. 😞

Question mostly for the Brits.... why are the Chocolate Easter Eggs this year, flat and not round? This is unacceptable.

Bought some stickers online... love this stamp 😆

After the potential overheating cables, lack of PhysX 32bit compatability and now defective chips, I'm more and more glad I got my 4090 when I did. www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

The mantra "Survive until '25" had been spoken about in the VFX industry, which has been on its knees as of late. But I think most creative industries won't *start* to improve until at least '26. I do hope I'm wrong. For the game industry, next-gen games consoles can't come soon enough.

A new friend just dropped in to help celebrate Subnautica's 7th birthday today! 🥳🎂

Amazing how the USA can go backwards by decades in a single speech.

Sometimes I wish I'd invested in Nvidia instead of investing in an Nvidia 4090 GPU 😆

I buy a fair amount of tech stuff from Aliexpress, and I'm constantly impressed at how fast things show up and how well packaged they are. Often, it's faster and cheaper to order from there than things I order from within the UK. Crazy.

Sorry to hear about the Splash Damage redundancies😔 Come work at @unknownworlds.bsky.social (remote) Lead Environment Artist (SN2) shorturl.at/Uct7E Level Designer (SN2) shorturl.at/dKqbN We've got great benefits too, so apply! 📝 #splashdamage #subnautica #subnautica2 #UnrealEngine #UnrealEngine5

I've been so impressed by the new M4 Macs that I'm honestly thinking of switching my parents from Windows a new MacBook Air once the M4s come out, especially now all models now have a minimum of 16GB RAM. Means I won't need to do my yearly malware and cleanup of temp files. 😆

After visiting parents and the in-laws over the holiday period, it's become clear that Motion-Smoothing by default on TVs needs to die. It makes movies wibble like jelly. It also wasn't available to turn off in settings. Aggravating.

Wishing you a warm and cozy holiday from the Unknown Worlds team! We're excited for everything 2025 will bring 🐟🥳

Six years ago today, @subnautica.bsky.social got my painting for the office Painted at a really low point in my life when pixel fish were saving my life, I owe this game so much.

Star Trek Lower Decks finale was the perfect send off. 🥹 I'm going to miss this crew, but I hope somehow, we see them again. Thanks so much @mikemcmahan.bsky.social and team for my favorite Trek show in years. #savelowerdecks

I have a @subnautica.bsky.social question for Cyclops lovers: -What do you love most about the Cyclops? -What could be improved/added to make it even better? #subnautica #Cyclops #submarine

Sorry to inform the UK internet, but it looks like Weetabix Melts (my fav breakfast 🥣) are going to the cereal bowl in the sky and no longer produced. 😥 R.I.P 🪦

Adobe Premier has been fired from my pipeline. The fact it is slow, sluggish and messes up basic exports is not worth the subscription price especiallyin 2024. I just tried DaVinci Resolve. Holy crap! It's so fast at... everything! Night and day difference. 😌 #videoediting #Adobe #dacinciresolve

Twitter died. 𝕏 marks the spot. Here, nothing but BlueSky 🦋

Posting some random favourite games as a kid on my Amiga... Mega lo Mania, one of the grandparents of God games. Still so much fun to play and advance tech levels.

Gosh this feels like the good old days of early Twitter. How lovely to see so many creatives, gamers and nice people everywhere. 🥰

My book 'Other Worlds' has an entire chapter dedicated to Subnautica: Below Zero. Tons of creatures, sketches and insights into the design process, and my thoughts on their speculative evolution. The Kickstarter for the book has just 7 days to go :) bit.ly/403C70b (MyArt)
