There’s so many unloved IPs out there like this.
A lot of indie devs would be better off getting licenses on legacy IP instead of risking it all trying to build an audience for new IP in a crowded market.

Seems pretty scandalous that we've not had a new Outrun game in almost 20 years.

Made some big changes this year already! Consultancy is enjoyable but at this stage of my life, I am ready to go back to full-time to dedicate to one studio and passion! If you have any needs for a badass CM, marketing or influencer manager, PR, event planning, or host in gaming, I’d love to chat!

This is the biggest leap forward in a long time for simulating a CRT on a modern display. Even the 120hz demo (if you have a 120hz monitor) is incredible. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this open source code hacks the human eyeball into perceiving smooth movement.
Open source code is now released forthe world's most accurate looking CRT simulation.
It lets you simulate the electron beam of a 60Hz CRT tube on your 240Hz+ display, in real time, and looks better than BFI.

CRT Simulation in a GPU Shader, Looks Better Than BFI
Who Is this for? CRT Enthusiasts, software & hardware developers, emulator authors, all of who wish to reduce display motion blur of 60 years of legacy 60fps 60Hz content with softer flicker than BFI....

Impressed with tonight’s Game Awards, which has come a long way from a show that was a little cringey at times a couple of years ago to what felt more confident and well-executed tonight. Highlight for me was Amir Satvat’s moving acceptance speech. He’s such a beacon of hope for the future!

Settling into Path of Exile 2. I struggled early, but I’m starting to get a feel for it.

Gearing and grinding got me past the Devourer on POE2. Rewarding kill, but still feeling more than a little overmatched by this game. I do enjoy the rush of beating a challenge, but often don’t have the patience to persist through a whole game where I’m at the fringe of my skill level.

I really want to enjoy Path of Exile 2 more than I am, but the unrelenting difficulty means I'll probably never get to enjoy 99.9% of it. Like Returnal, it's not unfair, but the skill threshold is so high, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to meet it.

Knight Squad!! As we get into the holiday season, I can't recommend this awesome party game hidden gem enough. Hella frenetic 8-player single screen action. CTF is my favorite mode. (You knew Xbox could support 8 simultaneous players, right?) www.xbox.com/en-US/games/...
