Fantastic interview
Sometimes, even after investing thousands of hours and $25 million into a game's development, tough decisions must be made.

Join @SimonParkin.bsky.social as he chats with former PlayStation President, @yosp-jp.bsky.social, about a career spent working on iconic games.

Baby Steps is the polar opposite to Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

In one, I’m a Greek goddess leaping over the land, gracefully felling foes with superhuman agility. Quests, minimap, skills.

In the other, I’m a doughy oaf, face down in muddy water, unable to string stumbling steps together.

For those who love the hard rock from Alan Wake (Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard), you might enjoy some Swedish melodic power prog-metal courtesy of Dynazty

All I need for horror video game writing (specifically notes, graffiti, etc.) to be effective is ‘evocative nonsense’…

Something like:

“That door. It was open before I returned. But it slammed shut leaving the shadow of a woman who passed by years ago. I call for help but Tuesdays are bad for it.”

Yasunori Nishiki came within touching distance of Uematsu/FF8’s all-timer “Balamb Garden” with the serene “Cobblestone, Nestled in the Hills” from Octopath Traveler. My kids listen to both nightly on their sleepy playlist.

Have been working on this for @lacedrecords.com for basically a year. And God of War. Assassin’s Creed. Civilisation. DOOM. Pokémon.

And Clair Obscur.

It has been a heck of a ride.

I occurs to me that Supergrass's "Moving" is a magnificent, pure pop condensation of Pink Floyd's "Dogs"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 superboss beaten, credits rolled.

Absolutely bawled at the ending. For a debut game and a relatively teensy team — only one (1!) level designer and one story writer — it is one of the greats.

I find special resonance between the wind performances in Nitin Sawhney’s “Firmament” and “Lune” from the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 OST by Lorien Testard & Alice Duport-Percier. Both beautiful, with lovely repeated melodic hooks

Guillaume Ferran's score for Jusant is something else. The sense of hopeful momentum is palpable, and the instrument and mixing choices are exquisitely well-balanced.
