I always love seeing Tagi's creations (and finding out how he's broken our games this time 😅) and his Planet Zoo 2 video did not disappoint: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChmD...

/noclip turns 10 today. So for the next month we're going to post a documentary a day to celebrate the people who took the time to talk to us during our first decade. First up, our first documentary. How Psyonix toiled for years to build an overnight success. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om0j...

My purchase of a Steam Machine has been completely validated by the fact it runs Viva Piñata absolutely flawlessly.

The aquatic animals look absolutely stunning, but adding avian species to Planet Zoo has been my favourite part of working on the sequel. Really excited to be able to bring both fish and birds to our players for Planet Zoo 2! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak4K...

Finally beat The Talos Principle (all endings) - only 12 years after I started it 😅 Excited to try out Road to Gehenna now as I've heard great things. I'm glad The Talos Principle 2 persuaded me to go back and give 1 another shot.

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

This ridiculous narrative that Geoff was peddling really soured the SGF for me.

Finished Atomfall, a marvellous little game filled with British charm. Bravo @rebellion.com

Rebellion's decision to not implement any kind of temporal AA or upscaling in Atomfall is a breath of fresh air. Not only does it run at a ridiculous frame rate when maxed out, the image quality is so crisp!

Spent an hour today with @v21.bsky.social's "Downpour", an app for making little games on your phone (still in beta). Made one about our cats called "Where's Madeleine?". Perhaps my greatest work? Takes 2-5 minutes depending on how good you are at finding Madeleine. downpour.games/~holly/where...

I think we made a hell of a game and I loved working with this team! It's been great to see Realms of Ruin in the hands of players from today ⚔😁 I'm also rather enjoying playing the campaign myself at long last!

Just finished Cocoon, it was delightful. If you have Gamepass I highly recommend checking out out (or buying it if you don't 😁)

Might as well do a first introductory post. Hey I'm James, I work as an Engineering Lead at Frontier Developments, and I've worked on games such as Fable Heroes, Kinect Sports Rivals, Screamride, Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo! This is my personal account so we'll see what it gets used for! #Gamedev

The Open Beta for Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin just went live on all platforms. A lot of hard work went into this one so I really hope everyone enjoys playing it over the weekend!
