South of Midnight is only in "Games for Impact" whatever that means at this point. Truly one of the best OSTs this year, and if you don't plan on playing, I recommend you check it out anyway.

Black protag = usually won't be considered for a real award, but they want to get points so game is relegated to "impact" awards.
Amazing seeing what was jammed into that category.

Adriyan Rae (Hazel) and Walt Roberts (Catfish) in South of Midnight and gave more range and emotion than Charlie Cox in Expedition 33 by miles. For a celebrity I feel like he phoned it in hard.

South of Midnight not getting either Art Direction, Score, or Performance nom is tragic.
Or Keeper for Art Direction but I didn’t really expect that to given proximity and low key release

Finished 1000xRESIST. I think it was fine, but not something I loved like many others that have talked about it. It is well structured and the entire game having voice acting helps a lot. But some chapters drag a bit and the navigating can be annoying.

Finished up my playthrough of The Outer Worlds 2. Enjoyed it and look forward to the DLC.
Was satisfied with my choices and conclusion. I liked the companions, though the companion quests could be weak. I liked Niles and Inez the most, followed by VAL and Marisol. Aza and Tristan were bleh.

🚨 "The Making of Double Fine's Keeper" is now available! 🚨
Many of you have been asking for this one; we're happy to say the cameras continued to roll here at the studio during Keeper's development. Come see how this very special game came to be, from the team themselves! 😊

Digital Foundry says Steam Machine power will be "some mid-point between Xbox Series S and PS5, prob closer to PS5", so the price will determine how many PC players want to buy a TV box providing what may be a performance downgrade for some of them.
Also means the next Xbox will be different enough

Absolutely essential viewing from @chrisbratt.bsky.social on Rockstar’s sackings, which appear to be the single most flagrant example of union busting in the history of the videogames industry. Rockstar has provided absolutely zero evidence to support any of their claims. youtu.be/c9nOwjeznjI?...

I did a lot of lighting on Keeper and it was a joy to have a fully dynamic lighting system, which made shifts in areas like this easy to do. We also had custom Lumen-based lights that @p1xelcoder.bsky.social put together that helped us hit the painterly/stage lighting look we were after.

Wrapped up Séance of Blake Manor tonight after about 15 hours. I enjoyed it, though a fair bit of time was spent meandering and backtracking. Fast traveling to a person’s location on the map if you knew where they were would have been really nice at times.
Heavy on narrative and reading.

Feel like I’m insane because the Eurogamer ARC review isn’t merely “docking points” solely due to genAI voices used. It’s in the context of its application and quality alongside the narrative of the game. Not merely ethical grandstanding.

I know it’s Vávra, but I feel like it’s in poor taste to give scores and criticize peers within your genre like this publicly. It’s basically him saying “make games more like MINE… available now by the way!” to drive controversy and get attention.

Another visual effect @leepetty.bsky.social, Jeremy Mitchell and I talked about a lot for Keeper was the Mandelbulb fractal. It didn't make it into the game in it's "pure" form, but the experiments I did were fun. :)
