EXCLUSIVE: 2026 is shaping up to become one of the most nefarious years for video game layoffs. I spent the last couple of months asking game music composers a very simple question: how are you holding up? nowplaying.cool/how-indie-ga...

I'm looking for new mentoring opportunities for artistic and #gamedev projects: I already work with many incubators and universities abut I would love to have access to other platforms or spaces where I can find more people to support. Do you have any ideas? <3 Thanks!

Fernando created truly something great for Zero Parades. Can’t recommend him enough! (with the contributions from the whole audio team this game is for your EARS; @rubenrincon.bsky.social you and yours made it special 🖤)

Hey #gamedev friends! 👋 With my recent projects wrapped up, I’m taking a breath and looking ahead to my next chapter! Check out my showreel below ⬇️ If you're building something cool, I’d love to chat! DMs & email are open. Reposts are hugely appreciated! 🔄🧡 #PortfolioDay

rolled credits on zero parades. strong goty contender in spite of everything. if i didn't have other things i wanted to get to, i'd probably run it back immediately like i did with disco elysium. will likely wait until early next year, but not much longer. just phenomenal stuff.

Zero Parades: Director’s Cut Revealed And PS5 Edition Release Date Announced

Following the release of Zero Parades in May, developer ZA/UM Studio has announced a Director's Cut version, and it's coming soon as a free update for everyone, while the game's console edition is launching in November. The Director's Cut will release on October 1, while the PS4 version will release on November 3. The game has not been confirmed for Xbox or Switch, however. Coming soon. Representing the end of post-launch support on PC, the Director's Cut is free for all existing owners of Zero Parades, featuring "substantial new material" that the developer says makes the game feel "tangibly different" from the OG release. The centerpiece of the free Director's Cut update adds the Quisach Roundabout, which is a new Dramatic Encounter for Zero Parades. "Hershel Wilk and her old friend Ramses find themselves stoned out of their minds, behind the wheel of a hijacked tuk-tuk and seemingly unable to escape the Quisach Roundabout late at night. The objective seems simple enough. Take the right exit and head home," reads a line from the game's description. "Fail to do so, and well… things might get existential. And possibly fatal." The Director's Cut includes about 40,000 words of new material. Also coming in the Director's Cut is the "Backstage," which allows players to experience earlier versions of select levels from Zero Parades. Players will be able to explore these locations and see how they changed for the finished game. The Backstage will also highlight examples of the "technical steps and creative processes" behind the changes the studio made during development. Backstage will also allow players to interact with "in-game orbs" that feature audio stories and commentary from developers about the game's development. The content is narrated by art director Kaspar Tamsalu, who will explain how Zero Parades was made. These orbs will also provide insights into what ZA/UM cut from the game. Beyond all of this, the Director's Cut update makes changes to how Zero Parades sounds and plays, featuring re-recorded English voiceovers. Additionally, new outfits and clothing are coming to Zero Parades in the update, along with new death screens and more visual and atmospheric features. The Director's Cut update also introduces ultrawide support for 2:19 and 32:9 displays, along with controller remapping, inventory sorting, and a new Photosensitivity Mode. Additionally, players who want more spy features are getting them with the ability to obscure parts of previous conversations with redaction bars "because even your own history should feel classified," ZA/UM said. More accessibility, audio, control, and interface improvements are in the Director's Cut update, too, along with expanded colorblind options and Steam Deck settings. These will be further detailed on a Steam post before launch. GameSpot's Zero Parades review scored the game an 8/10. "This is ... an excellent RPG, with varied and mostly well-defined characters, a fully realized setting encompassed by insurmountable depth, and an endlessly captivating narrative that offers myriad ways to maneuver through its fantastic twists and turns," reviewer Richard Wakeling said.

I just finished Zero Parades. A genuinely beautiful game Thank you, and I'm sorry. You made art that few will see, through no fault of your own. A undeserved fate, that was nonetheless predetermined for you by others. Best of luck (and skill) in whatever you end up making next. I look forward to it
