This week @geoffkeene.bsky.social, founder of Abiotic Factor dev Deep Field Games, took me on a guided tour of his PC. He told me about thriving in Arc Raiders, struggling with Dying Light, and playing the old hits in Warcraft 2. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

pcgamer.com

Geoff 'Zag' Keene, design director of Abiotic Factor, has 1,160 hours in PUBG and de-stresses using a Blizzard classic: 'Instead of going to therapy, guys will literally boot up Warcraft 2'

The founder of Deep Field Games talks Arc Raiders, PUBG, and his love of jank in games.

No Rest for the Wicked = sleeper hit. Deeper than any Diablo, it's got all the Souls-like dreary/cozy vibes, extremely rich character cinematics, amazing art style, petting dogs and cats, and the combat is super punchy. Incredible. I would've looked right over it without the co-op+free weekend.

Real booms don't need artificial adoption to grow. Nobody needed to be forced to start wanting lightbulbs in their homes because they actually solved problems people wanted solved.

This is technically abuse of the bug report system. But you're welcome.

Always good to remind yourself that a government can make anything legal. Asking "was this legal?" is for sure the wrong question.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas from all of us at Deep Field Games. Thank you for making this year one for the history (and science) books. See you in 1996 - and the many portal worlds beyond!

There's some extremely mechanical with how they're all talking about the game. I swear the old Bungie vidocs used to describe things less in terms of "video game mechanics." Rubs me the wrong way. Game looks good, though!

I lived off a partner for years - essentially - while working on Unfortunate Spacemen. It makes getting up in front of a crowd and talking about "my journey to success" feel priviledged and fake. But it's common and there is often no other option. Support structures matter, make sure you have one.

As I review game designer applications I can only ask game designers to do one thing: plz design games. Don't design "experiences" (whatever that means), don't just design board games, don't only design card games. Just make sure you actually design video games. For the video game design role.

I have some concerns about the implications of all of society being a whale farm, which means everyone else is the content for the whales. If you understand free to pay ecosystems it is... Worrying.
