Really looking forward to ARC Raiders launch tomorrow. First game I've preordered and been this hyped for in a long while. That server slam test was some of the most fun I've had in PvP in years - no surprise, Embark showed they already know what's up with THE FINALS
Anyone else going topside?

When I was 12 I got Myst for Christmas and fell in love (was huge Sierra / Lucas Arts adventure game fan), and this making-of video on the CD was the first time I saw any kind of game development. From then on I knew what I was supposed to do
Check out this amazing remastered (at 4k!) version of "The Making of Myst" mini-doc! Originally included on the Myst CD-ROM in 1993, this version has been carefully recreated by Ted Sase using footage preserved by the VGHF!

@digitalfoundry.bsky.social Do you guys use off the shelf software for your framerate/frametime overlays or is that a custom job?
Often in dev I wish I could replicate it, as running extra profiling to get the data isn't always possible

One benefit of having COVID this week is that I've had the time to clean up my email inboxes
Gotta keep things nice and tidy for the daily dump of spam to arrive, ya know?

Reminded of ATVI blowing up Infinity Ward because the bonuses due to the dev team
Cool quote from an ATVI exec email thread months before they fired our studio heads and took away our bonuses, "we are paying way too many people way too much, we need to find a way to put caps on our bonus payouts"

Some employees at Unknown Worlds were told they were eligible for bonus payouts ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to seven figures if they hit their revenue target. They believed Subnautica 2 was on track for release this year.
Now, with the delay to 2026, the target seems unattainable

My wife and I are working through South of Midnight this weekend, really enjoying it so far. Loving the setting, story, music, and characters -- but the character and environment art are the biggest treat
Congrats to everyone at Compulsion Games on the release!

Vividly remember my best friend from high school (rip Rob) getting on IRC and losing his shit after seeing it opening night. I hadn't seen any advertising for it yet, and he convinced me to go in totally blind the following day

Happy 6th birthday to Apex Legends
Once in a career project - everything lined up and the team managed to pull off quite the feat
Fun fact: basically all of the launch game was made in about 14 months

Anyone else finding a certain sense of calm during the holiday? For me I think it's because studios are closed so games aren't getting patched. I launch Steam or boot a console I'm not having to sit there and watch half a dozen games update themselves
I can just boot and play. What a concept!

Watched Canadian Bacon tonight (rip John Candy)
Someone should find and question Michael Moore, that shit was prescient and way funnier than I remembered
I'm upset I missed all the weapons manufacturing auctions of the 90s, tho. Getting my own AT4 would've been rad

Is there a way to actually dig yourself out of email spam hell? No matter how many unsubscribes I click through the amount of spam in my inbox doesn't go down. There's no useful way to communicate anymore; spam calls, spam texts, and spam emails have rendered it all useless
