Xbox should just pack it in at this point. They're not going to have any first party studios left, and new hardware is now too expensive for them to pursue. I'm not sure self-immolation is a viable business strategy.

I've been reading the responses and may have caused some real psychic damage here. My apologies for the emotional roller coaster of discovering and then instantly mourning the loss of this project. However my DMs remain open if you own the rights to other beloved IP and want us to pitch for it 👋
Adam Riches@supernorn.bsky.social · 2mo agoA while back we had the wonderful opportunity to pitch a Red Dwarf adventure game directly to Doug Naylor himself. While the project didn't end up going ahead, we're now free to share some of the work we produced for the pitch!

Been playing First Light over the weekend. They've built on the amazing work they did with Hitman by putting you in these beautiful, heavily populated sandboxes - but rather strangely give you very little to do in them. I'm enjoying the story, but I'd prefer a sandbox and less funneling next time.

If Steam is going to keep making changes that favour AAA releases over indies, I'd like a discount on the 30% cut from every sale.
Adriaan@adriaan.games · 3mo agoSteam is apparently taking away the Popular Upcoming list, which takes release dates into account, and replacing it with an Upcoming list with all future releases NOT taking release date into account. are indies losing another opportunity for visibility? www.reddit.com/r/IndieDev/c... #gamedev
