I would disagree with @O_Bruce here. It IS a big deal, and it's been an industry problem. E.g. https://wireframe.raspberrypi.com/articles/exploring-gamings-new-generation-of-elderly-protagonists There are other similar researches online. Being a mentor isn't sufficient in the context of using...

I've been looking forward to D4 of course, but this piece with gorgeous environment art screenshots and videos with D4 locations might just make more people hyped. https://www.gameinformer.com/2023/03/01/a-guided-tour-through-the-five-regions-of-diablo-4s-sanctuary

Found this on Ubisoft's LinkenIn today: History comes to life with Assassin's Creed! The incredible depiction of Knossos in Assassin's Creed Odyssey is based on the excavation work of Sir Arthur Evans in the early 20th century. This reconstruction features in the Labyrinth: Knossos, Myth &...

A topic related to this has come up recently in the industry. In a recent Capcom Showcase, we got a look at the newest Resident Evil CG film, Resident Evil: Death Island, which showed a female character, Jill Valentine, who hadn't aged properly. "The real reason Capcom decided to be a coward and...

Sounds like smaller games will gradually stop picking the EGS as an exclusive platform, and that store will be left for bigger titles (as exclusives). It's reasonable at least because smaller titles just couldn't get enough players if they didn't come to Steam...

The video above is so good not only because it's funny due to all the survival genre tropes, but also because it's a reference to the legendary movie "2001: A Space Odyssey".

Found an interesting detail. Larian actually has historically tried to release their games in "blue ocean" times of the year when they don't face much competition. Swen gave a GDC talk where he mentioned how they were paying really close attention to Shadow of War's release date when deciding...

Well, it's not your problem, or even the AI problem. It's a mass-culture problem. The problem of how body/face is perceived by the masses. I guess, humanity will deal with it eventually. It's totally cool that the AI allowed you to create this game. It wouldn't have been possible even 5 years ago.

And looks like we have one of the bigger news for the whole industry. https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-games-store-self-publishing/ And here is the interview with Tim Sweeney: https://venturebeat.com/games/epic-games-store-launches-self-publishing-tools-for-game-devs-and-publishers/ Epic Games...

Rough weeks for Private Division, a game publisher. First, Kerbal Space Program 2 launched into Early Access in a very bad state. https://www.gamesradar.com/kerbal-space-program-2-early-access-divides-fans-over-performance-issues-bugs-and-more/...

What level for this group boss?

Absolutely. And even while this is not the Christmas Release Date, releasing 2 massive games over 1 week would affect sales of both of them, but the one that will suffer the most would be the lesser game. Not lesser in terms of style or quality. Lesser in terms of marketing behind the game...

Welp, Starfield will be released just 6 days after BG3. This is usually so bad for a "lesser" game. Horizon: Forbidden West was forgotten because of Elden Ring. And there are many, many other similar examples. When 2 games of the same genre release, gamers generally have money and time only for 1.

Ouch. https://steamcommunity.com/ogg/1374930/announcements/detail/3667656892651069126 "We reached a point where we just can't keep going in these circumstances. We hoped that the Steam Autumn Sale and Winter Sale would turn the tide, but they didn't. Our studio will need to close soon, unless...

So touching. Roget Craig Smith, Victoria Atkin, Alix Wilton Regan, and Magnus Bruun.

https://variety.com/2023/biz/news/charlie-kaufman-wga-awards-speech-1235543557/ This made me think of the game industry as well. “The world is beautiful. The world is impossibly complicated. And we have the opportunity to explore that. If we give that up for the carrot, then we might as well...

Paradox Interactive happened today. Cities Skylines II announced, a sequel to an acclaimed city builder. I'm excited. Life by You teased, a competitor to Sims 5 maybe? Hopefully. Harebrained Schemes announced a new turn-based strategy game, The Lamplighters League...

"Several of romanceable" -> I would read that as if there would be more romanceable characters, which would be perfectly ok with the previous statements there would be additional companions.

I remember how @O_Bruce mentioned (in the previous thread) it would be difficult for the AI to draw something like manga. Bingo. https://kotaku.com/one-piece-eiichiro-oda-chatgpt-ai-chopper-manga-1850172765

A new game has been announced with the following tags: RPG; Isometric. Excited? EXCITED! "The Thaumaturge is a story-driven RPG with morally ambiguous choices, taking place in the culturally diverse world of early 20th century Warsaw. In this world, Salutors exist: esoteric beings that only...
