Random Game Saturday! OutRun for the Game Gear. IMO a really hard version of the game, but I still like it!

My 16yo is playing Sonic Racing Crossworlds as their fave, Rouge, and after a while of doing the actions that lead to the character making a lot of, err, spirited reactions they said to me “they know what they’re doing”

There was 10 years between the first Sonic game and Sonic Adventure 2. That anniversary was 24 years ago.

Look at my weird face chatting with a non-weird face human about our game

We had a great old time chatting and laughing and playing Tabitha with @konayma6.bsky.social at Gamescom, and her preview is now up at www.thegamer.com/a-storied-li... We work hard every day to live up to such high hopes for the game!

Random game Saturday! OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast for the PSP, by @sega.jp and @sumodigital.bsky.social! I was obsessed with Sumo’s port of OR2 for Xbox, and a version on the go on the PSP was a total dream come true. A true classic - and so much to do!

I’m hearing that they are in fact bad; garbo, if you will. I liked the first remakes so I’m still looking forward to them. I have the original games to still play so they don’t have to be a replacement.

It’s my child’s birthday soon. We’ve always left out their presents for them to find in the morning, but we didn’t consider last year that they’d become much more independent and wouldn’t just wake us up immediately to witness it. They unwrapped it all alone and just went on to playing video games.

I grew up on the Amiga version of Flashback and was completely obsessed with it. Amiga owners were used to other platforms being a bit crap, tbh, so I was amazed to play the MD version using Genecyst back in the day and find out it was equally amazing, especially the music!

Random game Saturday! Parodius for the Sega Saturn! Until watching Pandamonium’s review I had no idea this never came out in North America. What a shame!

A very considered preview of Tabitha from @jamesandstuff.bsky.social at @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social tinyurl.com/asltrps From the very beginning we conceived the game as a celebration of life, so we’ve been working since showing the game to James to enable that intent to better shine through.

I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content. I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.

While I'm hopeful about getting more secure income before the year is over, right now my income is very much not secure and could still use any help you can spare to just get over the hump. Thank you. ko-fi.com/alienbob/goa...

OutRun is one of my fave games of all time, and the GBC one of my fave consoles so this is fab!

I bought a Saturn game from CEX today and the (very lovely, very helpful) employee had trouble seeing it on the shelf behind him and had no idea what the Saturn was 😆 “What are you? Are you a PC game?” “No, Sega-“ “Ah, Mega Drive” “No… Saturn? It was the competitor to the PlayStation…” I’m so old 💀

Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.

This game is so special, and made by a small, passionate team of super lovely people who are all putting a piece of themselves into this game. It's an absolute joy to be working with @lab42games.bsky.social on this ❤️

I was on the train in to Gamescom yesterday and two journalists were sat behind me, very loudly talking, and one of them said they “took it easy” on a particular studio about their development troubles because they’d “given them good access” and like what.

ICYMI last night, at Gamescom Awesome Indies, we revealed @lab42games.bsky.social's wholesome narrative puzzle game - A Storied Life: Tabitha 📖 Find out more about this beautiful cozy game: store.steampowered.com/news/app/374...

We’re so happy to see that the newly updated and released POBG is being enjoyed by players! This was a really fun project, and we enjoyed our time working with Krafton to bring new content to the fan-favourite mode. Check it out inside PUBG Battlegrounds! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSdr...

Two game announcements in two days 😵 we've been busy! Just revealed in the gamescom Awesome Indies, A Storied Life: Tabitha is a truly beautiful creation. Heartwarming, intriguing, and cosy and heck Give it a Wishlist pls: store.steampowered.com/app/3749330/... #gamescom #indiegames #indiedev

It’s been tremendously fulfilling to work with the team @lab42games.bsky.social to bring this game to life! I think people are going to love it 😊

My first games job was at the studio that made these Mario and Metroid pinball games! Good* times. *it was bad times I got laid off just before my birthday and the birth of my first child

I am obsessed with this

The big news of the day is—Strange Scaffold got a front page spot on Steam! It’s our first-ever publisher sale!! You can get EVERY GAME we’ve ever made for 60 bucks and I did a bunch of work on the gradients and colors to make it all look pretty!!! Ahhh!!!! store.steampowered.com/sale/strange...

Heretic has never had a console port before, ever, so this is pretty cool.

To celebrate Tales of the Shire releasing, @lab42games.bsky.social had a bit of a bash - and some of our team put together a lovely keepsake for everyone that worked on it with @wetaworkshop.bsky.social. We had to find our Elvish name! I love mine so much!

I’m a big ole weirdo that tries to only play physical games and let me tell you, it’s killing me that my personal copies of Tales of the Shire aren’t even shipping until 8th August. I have a code, obviously! But if I’m not unwrapping that box and putting in a card/disc it ain’t the same!

I'll be at Gamescom in a few weeks! I'll be at the show representing Lab42 Games, but also Sumo Digital Ltd, and I still have a few meeting slots available - so if you want to chat about project or portfolio needs, or even just catch up, please let me now! 😊

We're delighted to announce our partnership with @wetaworkshop.bsky.social and @privatedivision.com on Tales of the Shire! Big thanks to the super talented team at Wētā for choosing us as a dev partner to bring this cosy hobbit game to PC, Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, out now!

Got it working on the Analogue MegaSG. If anyone wants to play Paprium on the SG, I had to downgrade to fw 4.7, then when you try and boot and get a black screen, press the button on the top of the MEDP. In JB FW 7.4 or official 4.9, it just goes back to the MEDP menu. Needs to be on 4.7 for now?

lol this is pretty great, nice work @krikzz.bsky.social! Shame my knockoff Nomad from AliExpress has issues with audio so I don’t get any sound… Will see if I can get it working on the MegaSG in a bit…

The female gaze

The VA for Sagawa seems very much miscast to me in Yakuza 0 DC. Weird. Why cast someone so young sounding for someone in their 50s?

What video game ignited your passion for gaming? (GIFs only) Wonder Boy was the first game I ever played (and my first tattoo!) when I was 4 years old (I got the tattoo later.) It set the scene of so much of video games for me. I’ve played and loved every game in the series. We need more!

this is so utterly disgusting and maddening

"Rather than hear from the fans after a product comes out, [saying], ‘This is where you got it wrong', I'd rather get course correction early on." Two of our dev team members talk about how we're approaching Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection #MKLK www.gamesindustry.biz/it-was-like-...

Welcome to #TransTuesday! Here's THE INTENTIONAL (!) TRANS ALLEGORY OF STRANGE NEW WORLDS’ AD ASTRA PER ASPERA, part 3! We wrap up the story of Una and the Illyrians, and see if this hopeful, accepting future can show our present reality a way forward! TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

Missed #RandomGameSaturday this time but my lovely family just gave me this for Father’s Day so I’m gonna post it anyway! I got rid of it when I purged all of my games and stuff a decade+ ago so it’s nice to have it back in the collection 😊

You can get a better animated look at all these projects and a overview of my 14 years in the industry on my portfolio and I’m available for work remotely in the UK, any and all shares are always grateful appreciated.

Don’t blink, you just might miss him! The ultimate Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Collector’s Edition is here! Pre-orders are open now! DLC is included with all copies + standards ship for launch! bit.ly/4kJln5o

Reposting all the wild shit going on feels really pointless on this app because you’re not all fucken monsters… I guess the point would be to do more.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

What’s funny is we spread optimisations and features between both Kiwami and Zero - that’s the beauty of contracting a partner to do multiple games - but Kiwami ended up on S1 and Zero on S2. Can’t wait to play Kiwami on S1 to see what it’s like later in the year with the physical release!

VERY excited about this! I haven’t really played Y0 since submitting our final patch for it… 7+ years ago? Wild. So surreal to be playing it in English! Surprised it doesn’t have a few more QoL features but Save Anywhere is nice (was always bummed we didn’t manage to fit that in officially…)
