What sad and shocking news. :’(
Vince was exceptional person. He had a huge impact on games. This is a terrible loss.

Wait, this exists? Well, I’m glad proceedes go to support the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social!
Friendly reminder that I'm selling a rather uncommon (for us) Russian release of Psychonauts to raise funds for @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social because I'm a bit nuts like that. One day to go!

He took a game with a main character that’s tall and skinny, so of course he decided it needed to be shown on the widest possible screen. Explain yourself, @leepetty.bsky.social! Oh wait, he did:

Have I played it on my ultrawide at home? Maybeeeee. Is it stunningly beautiful and amazing? Possiblyyyyyy 😉
Get after it frenz.
Keeper update!
▪️Noir mode!
▪️Ultrawide monitor support!
▪️New accessibility features!

You would think a colorful game like Keeper would loose a lot going black & white, but this version has been tuned by @leepetty.bsky.social himself so it really highlights the drama. (As well as his love for AC/DC.)

Me, before watching the trailer: "Banned? This is crazy. Who doesn't like horses?"
Me, after watching the trailer: "Oooooh. THOSE kinds of horses."
Also me: "I want to play this game right now!"
Our upcoming game HORSES was preemptively banned from Steam, with no path to appeal. The game will still launch next week on December 2nd and will be available on EGS, GOG, Humble, and Itch for $4.99. Here is a detailed FAQ covering what happened: horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

RIP to a games industry pioneer and legend, Rebecca Heineman (@burgerbecky.bsky.social) If your unfamiliar, look her up. Her career is like the story of videogames itself.

Foundational figure in PC games. One of those load-bearing creatives where things would look very different for entire genres if she wasn’t around. Please help her out

“But what’s it all for?” I asked Oliver, to which he relied, “To make rocks kiss.”
The morphs in Keeper use distance fields as an (implicit) surface representation, which makes it possible to control the distance at which the surface should lie. In other words, it’s easy to deflate or inflate objects, and meshes become easily ‘moldable’.

Besides learning about @leepetty.bsky.social's inspirations for Keeper, watching this video will also give you an amazing list of cool movies to watch and artists to check out!

He's discussed stop motion animation and movies in previous clips, and now, @leepetty.bsky.social is talking about artist Max Ernst's influence on his creative mind, and how Ernst's work tied into Keeper's development.
