How did we implement the ambiences for Big Walk? @nicholaszhangaudio.bsky.social manually drew poly lines for all the different biomes and rivers, and built tools to detect shorelines and scatter positions. Most of it is done before the game even runs, and then we just blend between stored values!

Forgotten Island is a triumph of Dreamworks and Sony Imageworks getting sheer artistic vision through the studio system and you should support it when it comes out next week. You gotta pee to make them see.

Finally finished a playthrough of Fire Emblem: Three Houses just in time for the release of Fortune’s Weave this week. I mostly liked Three Houses but the pacing of the calendar stat and relationship grind was not my favourite.

The Fire’s Edge, the first new DLC for Darkest Dungeon since 2020, is releasing on August 18th. The Duelist and Runaway, heroes who debuted in Darkest Dungeon II, bring their unique abilities to bear against horrors that lurk beneath the manor. Wishlist now: store.steampowered.com/app/4964110/...

A Duelist with a long black braid wields a sword. She is lit by a full moon. In front of her stands The Runaway, a scrappy looking young woman with short hair and a cloak. The Runaway wields a burning hot poker. The image reads "Darkest Dungeon, The Fire's Edge"

Honestly if Richard Garriott is going to take Ultima from EA right as their transitioning to Saudi Wealth Fund ownership then Will Wright should do the same for Sim City. www.eurogamer.net/ultima-ip-ri...

Ultima's creator Richard Garriott is planning to win back the rights to his legendary RPG from EA with an 50-year-old copyright quirk

Speaking to Inside Games, the creator of Ultima has expressed frustration with the handling of the series since he sold it.

The N64 version of Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine kind of rocks? It feels more polished than the PC version. It borrows a bunch of design from Ocarina of Time for UX. It was developed by Factor 5 but bizarrely only released on the Lucasarts store and Blockbuster.

Toy Story 5 can feel like a bunch of the shorts jammed together and it’s opinions about tech less nuanced than 007 First Light but it’s still pretty fun and heartfelt. Andrew Stanton proves he can still wrangle together a solid film when it’s not about Mars and Men.
