…And it’s hard to explain these ‘whoa!’ moments to anyone who’s grown up taking 3D camera control in general for granted. It was like your favourite pop-up book had come to life, and you could peer around the corners into previously hidden worlds.
It's easy to take Super Mario 64 for granted, but back when it came out, people were still wrapping their heads around concepts like 3D cameras! Watch this clip of someone learning how to use the C Buttons at E3 1996. "Whoa."
Your mistake, it was expensive. This is your last chance... Do you understand? #AlienIsolation2 Watch the reveal trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1-v...
Right on time for your Summer Game Fest trailers folks.

Nuclear Throne on Steam
Nuclear Throne is a post-apocalyptic roguelike-like top-down shooter. Not 'the final hope of humanity' post-apocalyptic, but 'humanity is extinct and mutants and monsters now roam the world' post-apoc...

Finally, it's here! The Oral History of Guitar Hero, Rock Band and the Music Game Boom from @metallicaisrad.bsky.social and @readonlymemory.com, this means a lot to me because GH and RB are the games that would eventually inspire me to become a game developer myself.
I felt like a dunce when I finally used it for the art in NEURODIVER. Beforehand I was just using Photoshop for my pixel art with the original ROM. Everything was easier. Everything. If you want to get into pixel art, or want an easier time with it, use Aseprite. You'll never regret the purchase.
ATTENTION ARTISTS AND ANY ASPIRING PIXEL ARTISTS!!! Aseprite is on sale on Steam!! It's a Pixel art program for art/animating and I highly recommend! (I have almost 700 hours in it!) It's $13 and a one time payment for an excellent program!!
Had this thought whilst being gently mocked for not being on TikTok the other day. It is okay for us to have our almost-middle-aged website dammit! Forums, IRC chatrooms, the good versions of social media, they're all gone now! We need SOMEWHERE to peacefully recreate our dumb old internet
Saw Bluesky described as where elder millennials go to retire from the internet, and immediately felt the peace that passes all understanding wash over me. None of have to struggle any longer. We completed our time.

I'm working on a Roblox story for a national outlet and keen to talk to parents of older teens (12-16) who play Roblox games: ✅ Which games do they play? ✅ Why play that rather than a console game? ✅ How do they find new Roblox games? Shares appreciated #JournoRequest
Our Compass team’s first game, Wreckin’ Raccoon, hit Early Access last week, and is already gaining traction. Which is to be expected as it allows you to poo in VR. Nuff said.
Wreckin' Raccoon is the debut game from nDreams Compass that's reminiscent of I Am Cat, where you make a mess as a commotion-causing critter. Details here: www.uploadvr.com/ndreams-comp...

Graduates use AI to earn degrees they then don’t understand; use AI to write job applications which are designed to pass AI-powered recruitment software; and those who get thru prove unable to think thanks to their reliance on AI, so companies use AI instead 🤯🤦♂️🤷♂️ www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j...
Non-violent games about cooking, farming or tidying now rival the more traditional video game pursuits of shooting and fighting in popularity. What's next for "cosy" games? @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social finds out: www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j...
Cosy video games are on an unstoppable rise. Will they unleash a darker side?
