The next Deus Ex should be about how AI hallucination / deliberate AI deception started WW III.

Looking at the freedom SeverLink aims to provide, it could be a cool immersive sim-adjacent game if you’re more into Splinter Cell, Hitman, Metal Great Solid styled stealth.

Roman Sands RE:Build is out. After so many years, you can finally play our labour of love. It's deranged, it goes SO MANY PLACES, it probably shouldn't exist, and I've no idea if you're going to like it or not but that ain't the point. Roman Sands RE:Build. store.steampowered.com/app/2231460/...

A service industry adventure with an apocalyptic flavor. A manic genre mashup told across two broken realities. Step through the cracks: find your Exit.

100 upvotes in 1 hour. The general belief is that most immersive sim developers and players are cat people.
Cat people, unite! 🐱 The Citadel Project, a dark fantasy stealth game, had to release early due to a massive €6,000 vet bill. A red-light runner fucker hit their cat, Snoopy, and fled. Miraculously, Snoopy survived thanks to his incredible strength and will to live.
In NewDark 1.29 for Thief, now you can open a door halfway and hide under the dynamically created shadow (you can also enable guards to notice the player's shadow).
9 years ago today the best Dishonored game, Death of the Outsider, was released. I will not be taking questions at this time.
Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of the release of "DEATHLOOP" It's a very special project. I shifted my role from level design to direction. I crafted things that challenged me in ways I'd never considered. I grew with my team I became Dana Nightingale 🏳️⚧️ Thank you for all the love & support
Le Corbeau's NewDark v1.29 is out: - hardware transform & lighting (soft shadows, normal mapping, ssao, volumetric effects, etc.) - player shadow + AI awareness of player shadow - UTF-8 encoded text & TTF/OTF fonts - multiplayer stability and more maintenance fixes - and more...
Randy is right. Microslop indirectly contributed to Looking Glass's closure, mismanaged the production of Redfall & Perfect Dark, closed Arkane Austin & divested Arkane Lyon to kill institutional knowledge, and DX:IW & TDS being on 1st gen Xbox console hurt their immersive sim design.
This is officially the most liked developer post at r/immersivesim. Intriguing title, concise trailer, sincere communication, well-placed links, they make so much difference. I hope the numbers can go up for more posts and more different developers.
The first level of my next project is shaping up to be my most intricate yet. Tons of alternate paths, secret areas, and of course vents to crawl through. #screenshotsaturday
Trapped in a haunted manor, you have 72 hours to break the curse. Sepulchron is a horror adventure immersive sim where you solve challenging puzzles by day and survive ghostly assaults by night to uncover the truth. Releases on October 28, demo out now (link below)!
A recently released Thief FM that included AI-generated assets has sparked significant controversy at ThiefGuild and TTLG, and even drove some members (e.g. skacky, one of the creators of The Black Parade) out of the FM scene. It created a huge schism in the community and it's sad to see.
You don't cancel a Kojima game just because you are allergic to anything phys.
I'm so going to try this in one playthrough.
Deus Ex: Remastered and Thief: The Dark Project Remastered achievements lists were found in today's Steam database leak. Don't look them up if you haven't played the games. Judas only has one sample achievement.

Dark Messiah with DLSS 5. The modder is frustrated that r/immersivesim doesn't appreciate the "vast differences in shadows, ambient occlusion / global illumination, and reflections done accurately to various textures, and all these in real-time".
It has been 4 years for us but well over a decade of hard work for Dillon. Happy anniversary! Take your time, we can wait.
Taffer King@tafferking451.bsky.social · 2w agoIt was Gloomwood's early access anniversary this weekend, and I'm very grateful for everyone who has supported the game over these years. I know the craving for the bank update (and eventual 1.0) is high. We're working on it. For now, here's a small tease of the bank:
