Nice Friday W, and from EA of all places: they've uploaded the source code for a stack of old C&C games, including Red Alert, Tiberian Dawn, Generals: Zero Hour, Renegade, AND the Remastered Collection github.com/electronicar...

Another NFT game done with 55 employees now seeking work. Kind of a foregone conclusion almost with how 2024 panned out, really I can imagine some of the major publishers will be keen to talk to Robert Bowling about future ideas though - wonder if we see a new team spun up in the next 3-6 months

industry sure as hell isn't going to get more sustainable if this is the way going forward; people will just stick to free games/game pass/playing older stuff they already own switch 2 launch pricing of games is gonna be real interesting

The stuff X organically promotes is such absolute rank engagement bait. Case in point: person saying they got blocked for review codes three full months before release (13 Feb, 2025). When has a review code ever gone out that early? the longest ive ever seen was a month, tops.

Megagames are awesome. The framework of a board game scaled over a lot more people, but with the rigidity of the rules replaced by the collective creativity of D&D. Thank you to everyone who joined our space religion/pleasure palace/galactic subscription service. Humanity was very grateful.

The hanging garden was a real nice surprise as well. No video of it, but the dome where you just lie down and let a flood of generated flora and fauna plays all around you while a floral fragrance is pumped into the room - incredibly pleasant and peaceful. Give me a pillow and I'd lie there all day.

And obviously, teamlab is sensational. Incredibly fun, playful experience. Nothing else like it in Australia, that's for sure.

Huh: Melbourne's holding a Team Fortress 2 LAN this week. Only a $2k prize pool, but it's still a LAN and it's Team Fortress 2. Looks like it'll be at GIC / Genesis Internet Cafe. An incredibly oldschool move to hold a nationals in a netcafe. ozfortress.com/leagues/51

This is neat: an indie game about being a galactic reporter for the Times & Galaxy holopaper. Game was written by former journos who went onto the writing teams for Dragon Age: Inquisition and Mass Effect 3, so there's some experience here. store.steampowered.com/app/883230/T…
