Just some nerd doing nerd things Currently playing: 🎮 Pillars of Eternity 🎮 Baldur's Gate 3 Honour Mode 🎮 Divinity: Original Sin 🎮 Stardew Valley

The highest praise I can give #Nighthawks right now (as I’ve yet to finish) is that it has me in the mood to play more incredible vampire games. Which means it has me in the mood to play the masterpiece that is Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines.

Finished Star Wars Outlaws tonight (yes, I know, I'm a bit behind). Much like other Ubisoft "open world" games, it was far more enjoyable once I started treating it like a linear game with no side quests.

Nighthawks has sold TEN THOUSAND copies in less than one week! For a tiny studio like ours, this is a huge milestone. To all the supporters, backers, wishlisters, and everyone who believed in this game and us, thank you so much.

3 years ago today we shipped Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. For me, it was our final word on what we wanted Cyberpunk 2077 to be. Making it felt like group therapy. We had to rebuild confidence, rethink how we worked, and learn to trust ourselves again as creators.

I’m going to be good. I’m not going to start another game. I’m going to be good. I’m not going to start another game. I’m going to be good. I’m not going to start another game. I’m going to be good. I’m not going to start another game. I’m going to be good. I’m not going to start another game.

Obviously having your game erroneously banned for daring to suggest that adults sometimes have sex is an absolute nightmare. Particularly the week before launch! But...I have to admit that playing a vampire in a game deemed "too sexy for Steam" might be the coolest I've ever been.

Upcoming vampire RPG Nighthawks has been removed from Steam search and delisted in certain countries as Valve classifies it Adults Only: 'It's very bad news for us'

The label "immediately makes the game persona non grata in several important countries like Germany".

Haven't played many games this year, but here's what I've got under my belt. Planescape: Torment, Pillars of Eternity, Thimbleweed Park, and Star Wars Outlaws are ongoing; Runt is currently on hold. Baldur's Gate 3 is two attempts at Honour Mode totaling 60-65 hours of playtime.
