This was super fun. Thank YOU!

*This interesting process of "un-wonderment" doesn't get enough attention from science fiction critics *"The sense of wonder has a short shelf-life," yes it does, but what are the actual processes of that decay *How to effectively write about that

On the #GameMakersNotebook, @adamorth.bsky.social chats w/ @allenmmurray.bsky.social of @zaumstudio.bsky.social about ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, the pressure of following up a beloved debut in Disco Elysium, how they implemented over 700k words of dialogue, and balancing creative vision and risk!

Need to applaud Zero Parades for one of the best vocal line reads/edits I’ve heard in ages which is “reading an encoded cypher out loud” 🔊👇

IT CAN BE HELPFUL TO KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT

Zero Parades for Dead Spies has no business being this beautiful 😍

zero parades, man. fuck. leave my head, lemme be

most video games can be boiled down to playing dolls and, as a rule, the more a video game lets you play dolls, the better it is

I ended up beating Zero Parades, wrote a review, and then went back and beat it two more times to get very different endings. This is my catnip. giantbomb.com/reviews/zero...

I’m a middle-aged straight man so … never

I’m really happy to see people listening to the radio show Mikee made for Zero Parades 🤍 Mikee is an exceptional and incredibly talented person, and being able to count on his work beyond VO in Zero Parades is a real gift. www.reddit.com/r/DiscoElysi...

Saw old friends & colleagues posting pics from the early days of #Destiny dev. Nearly all of my docs are in paper notebooks back in Seattle. But I found some good ole production whiteboards! Here we are working on the pitch, which starts with obvious things, we made cool games and MSFT likes money 🤣

🙏🙏🙏

This is today! See you in a few hours!! Looking forward to it 🧡🧡🧡🧡 #AirCon26 #gameaudio

Beautiful! Thank you so much!

I've been quiet online the last few months, a big reason for that is that I've been busy creating a BOUNTY of videos, trailers and moe for ZA/UM and their new game Zero Parades The game released yesterday, so thought I'd share some highlights from the work I've created. video wizardry, innit

Destiny ending is wild. I spent two years working on the concept for the original game, pitching it to Activision before moving on to work outside of Bungie. That experience, plus working on the OG Halos before that was a moment in time in the industry that will never be repeated. Eyes up, Guardian.

It's going to take luck, skill and all the psycho manoeuvres we can manage. #ZEROPARADES: For Dead Spies is OUT NOW on PC. Play across Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG and NVIDIA GeForce Now: tr.ee/playzpnow

🔥🔥🔥

It's late, I'll reshare this in the morning, but here's my Zero Parades review. A game that I found utterly engrossing in nearly every way, and hit me on a personal level more than I expected: but crucially, in some ways, can't be untangled from where it's come from www.rpgsite.net/review/20391...

In this essay I will explain how the discourse in video game reviews is a blueprint for how the Left eats itself alive and provides the conditions for the rise of autocratic authoritarianism

don’t confuse any country’s rulers with its people. stay curious about our shared humanity. ☕️

i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid

The fact that there is no Criterion Channel app for PlayStation is a damn shame. What do you expect me to do, get an Xbox?

Zero Parades is being developed under a massive shadow. Its writers don't care

Jess and Tom (and Jim!) provide a good supplement to the demo of Zero Parades we have out on Steam right now. They’re talking through the craft of producing a narrative video game and go over various features and systems that can be tried in the demo as well.

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

Jim and I discuss production on Zero Parades, the next game we're cooking up over here!

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

I’m going to get in trouble for this, but fuck it. I’ve been at this a long time. Games culture wants the spoils of cultural sophistication without doing the work. It wants a guarantee that the intention to make work guarantees not just a living but a thriving one. It is a medium for children.

Bigender folks can and do enjoy playing Halo 3 and they’re still bigender because playing Halo 3 is inherently feminine
