I really wanna play a game with great atmosphere again. it's been so long. maybe I've played all of them already

A friendly reminder that Double Fine's Psychodyssey is one of the finest pieces of media ever created, and a must-watch for anyone who cares about video games, yet somehow it's also completely free www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

my dream as a game developer is to make a high-depth, text-only fantasy RPG. and someday I will actually do it and discover that it was a terrible dream to have

just finished Baldur's Gate 3 and I have many, MANY thoughts. mostly that I'm so glad I get to play Esoteric Ebb immediately after this :)

also OBVIOUSLY i am going to play the god of war game where you play as the dead mom. of course im going to do that. santa monica is gonna suck the tears out of my eyes by force if they have to

maybe i am too easily charmed but i really liked that State of Play. video games are awesome

imo its a crime that there weren't 200 GDC talks about Baldur's Gate 3. this game was designed for people to ask "how did they do this" and yet there is so little information on how they did this

holy shit I already knew I loved @doublefine.com's Keeper but I FINALLY just finished the game (late, I know) and that doesn't even begin to describe it. what an amazing game

got back into star wars

Its a testament to a pvp game's design when you can have fun and keep coming back for more even if you suck horribly at the game. Pvp shouldn't just be about servicing the top players, but also about making it fun even if you suck ass. If it's draining to play at low skill levels, ppl won't stay.

is it possible to write without feeling pretentious? and if so, how?

I deploy a fiendish PSYOP when playing Kiln. I go into battle with a small, medium, and large top hat. I start small, and throughout the battle I gradually switch to bigger hats. This makes the enemy think that THEY are getting SMALLER, which shatters their psyche.

truly comedic number of co-op games in today's iii showcase. that said, video games are so awesome

will @fkawill.bsky.social · 4mo ago

is there a job in the games industry for "guy who remembers to put commas where they're supposed to be in dialogue" because I would like to do that and feel like there should be an enormous market for this

your jokes are funny but xehanort didn't want to kill sora. actually at various points he wanted

This needs to stop being a position that we really accept as an explanation at all for all this. In the worst case, it's probably a lie and in an only slightly better case it still shows a lack of care for both their craft but also the final work that is made. Neither of these is okay.

Crimson Desert - statement on usage of AI

We would like to address questions regarding the use of AI in Crimson Desert.

During development, some 2D visual props were created as part of early-stage iteration using experimental AI generative tools. These assets helped us rapidly explore tone and atmosphere in the earlier phases of production. However, our intention has always been for any such assets to be replaced, following final work and review by our art and development teams, with work that aligned with our quality standards and creative direction.

Following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release. This is not in line with our internal standards, and we take full responsibility for it.

We also acknowledge that we should have clearly disclosed our use of AI. While these tools were primarily used during early production, with the expectation that these assets would be replaced prior to release, we recognize that this does not excuse the lack of transparency.

We sincerely apologize for these oversights.

We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of all in-game assets and are taking steps to replace any affected content. Updated assets will be rolled out in upcoming patches. In parallel, we are reviewing and strengthening our internal processes to ensure greater transparency and consistency in how we communicate with players moving forward.

@fabraz.bsky.social's Demon Tides is the Elden Ring of 3D platformers and I mean that in the least reductive way possible. Just finished it, going for the 100%. Can't wait for Bubsy 4D.

anyone seen that Alexa ad where they show all the different ways Alexa could kill Chris Hemsworth (read: you)? seems like a legendarily terrible marketing strategy

attention to my 2 bsky followers: you should play this demo NOW because it's awesome (and because my voice is in it)

Beautiful risings gamers, Spectra demo is out RIGHT NOW

a very special shoutout to whoever at Capcom wrote the descriptions on the boxes of ammo. "aim small, miss small" for the Dragonfly (rifle) ammo made me laugh out loud
